I love my daughters, they are all so pretty

LOOKS LIKE IT’S TIME TO OIL UP

Page 50 Hakan hype get!

Also ribu, your avatar tickles my funny bone real good. :rofl:

That’s a good point, the info I have is from an earlier build, and I haven’t had the opportunity to see the final build for myself. It would suck if they took out this stuff. Although j.MK juggling was in a trial so I’m betting it’s still in.

Wow, gay Naruto reference.

I thought it looked similar anyway. (I saw it randomly)

Minus Blue hair…and oiled up…nevermind.

._.;

Yeah, I had mentioned this earlier in my reply to Tofu Warrior. I thought it was a command dash of some sort when I first saw it.

@Boy of Joy:

Seeing that we don’t have personal hands-on experience with the final build, we can not say for certain that he can not cancel his command crouch with a special move. Heck, how many times do we see Blanka cancel his? It’s not a well-known thing it seems. Seeing that Hakan’s crouch has very strong similarities to Blanka’s, it seems a logical conclusion that they will have similar properties.

Also, in all the videos thus far, no one has even tried to experiment with the crouch, they do it once and that’s it.

Also, I still hold that the low shoulder ram is a command normal. In the video vs Dudley I noted it in, he actually does it twice in succession. He hits the first one, and whiffs the second. No FA flash that I could see.

Is there someone we could ask to get his theme (I’m guessing that’s what the background music for the trailer is) by itself? That’s a rockin’ track, and would love to have it as an MP3.

Yeah I thought that it was a lvl 1 focus as well till i watched it a second time, and i noticed his arms, i wonder if that will work to duck under a fireball and tick them enough so that you could Command or normal throw them on recovery, or if you could time it so that you duck under the Hadouken just enough so that you are already in thier face as they are recovering, cause it looks as thought it has some decent recovery

Nope, it’s not the same.

Don’t know if this is known already, but Seth just confirmed that EX oil up move goes through fireballs (just the actual act of oiling up…after he finishes the pose, he can get hit by fireballs).

He also said that Hakan will probably have most difficulty against long range projectile characters.

Hence the need to save up EX meter for EX oil up and Super, which works against fireballs…apparently…

I think Zangief will have a worse time with projectiles. Or T.hawk. Seriously, what can T.Hawk do VS fireballs?

Hrm only thing I can think of and I have no idea how useful it will actually be is the diving hawk.

I really hope EX spire goes through projectiles…

He seems EPIC, he can’t be my main (i am not good enough with the graplers) but i will definitely use him lots of time (specialy against my friends, it’ll be fun). :slight_smile:
A turkish character and oil wrestling, really brilliant idea, game needed this.

Actually you don’t have to EX it from what Mr.Wiz told me you just have to be oiled up to go under them

Also from Seth’s interview:

-Hakans “Coward Crouch” looks like it can quickly cancel into command grab.

So this pretty much confirms that my theorized Coward Crouch into command grab mixups are viable! For more info, see my earlier post regarding Hakan’s normals and specials:

Gaaah! I hope I can see that thing somewhere later.

I still hope that if Hakan has the ability to do a reset, that he can make them land on Oil Combination Hold. Maybe it’ll work in the corner?

That is not going to happen. Air reset is a reset, you will not have any guaranteed attacks after it. Especially not ultra.

I just can’t stop thinking that Hakan looks like one of the best grapple characters in a long time. Great looking normals, quirky buff mechanic, great design and animation, great voice actor, funny ultras, the fact that he’s looking very competitive, oddness factor and unique gameplay… He’s going to end up being the next Hugo for sure.

I’m really kind of torn about his voice actor. On one hand, HIS DAUGHTERS ARE SO PRETTY! And some additional epic one-liners. However, some of his stuff is a bit repetitive. Oh well, time will tell.

I basically don’t want him to be like Cody, who goes “ha-HA!” every 5 seconds.
