Hakan Thread: I love my daughters, they are so pretty!

You can tick into his grab, this was shown by Seth in his last interview. It works the same as Gief.

Whilst I’m not going to doppose what Seth says, can you please ignore anything he lets loose given the shit that happened to Gen? Seth’s an untrustworthy Capcom PR rep who’ll say anything to dell more copies, feel free to believe anything that you said but he fucking flat out lied in regards to Gen’s changed.

This was in a VIDEO interview. I saw him demonstrate it with my own eyes. Sheesh.

I’m quite drunk and hate Seth due to the Gen bullshit given how many hours I put into him, I’m sorry :frowning:

Where are the vid demonstrations?

Edit: Though this seems pointless, are there any grabs you can’t tick into? Maybe this in a omission into a further Makoto nerf with her 80 frame Karakusa :wink:

GDC interview on Gamespot. Check New Info thread.

lmao

My translation of some of the Move-list properties:

Hakan

regarding oil-shower --> Move-properties change and defense is increased after an oil-shower
"kurz vor Treffer" (Oil-SLide) --> Followup command must be input slightly before slide-attack lands
"halten zum Aufladen" (Oil-Dive) --> hold to charge
"wiederholt Richtungsbefehle eingeben" (Guard position) --> press directions rapidly (??)

I honestly dont know what that comment about Guard position means? Maybe you can crouch forwards or backwards while in Guard position??

Um. Okay. Bitter, much? Why do people come into this thread to cry about another character?

'Cause Gen got nerfed worse than Ryu or Sagat; Gen got FUCKED. UP.

I’ve spent the last couple of minutes trying to come up with a combination of playstyles of characters that would describe what Hakan’s looks to be, but I’m really having trouble doing so… kudos, Capcom. (Zangief+Honda+Fuerte+…Gen?)

so the real talk about hakan when the game comes out will start on this page?
or i should wait a couple more?

Definetly yes, he will be not so easy to use.Yoshinori Ono said that he will be for a more advanced players.

Yea but Gen’s old and sick as fuck. . .him going a round without an unexpected massive bowel movement is the biggest buff he deserves. . .

Has anything else come up about the guard position move?. . . official name for coward crouch?. . .

Seems that way (as it is the same input as Blankas).
And after looking at the coward crouch the comment about the Guard position probably just means that you can get up quickly if you input another direction after the move started.

I counted from the Gamespot video:

around 18-20 seconds of activation from EX Oil Shower.

12-14 seconds for some other version (forward or roundhouse?)

8 seconds for a weaker version (short or forward?)

EDIT: EX OS is 17-18 seconds

I’ve uploaded Seth Killian demoing Hakan at GDC on YouTube, it’s in 2 parts (high quality, no re-compression)

Part 1: [media=youtube]5xCIqSmPy68[/media]

Part 2: [media=youtube]xmgQHj1-2pE[/media]

Enjoy!

From that last videos, Hakan looks like a very strong character once mastered, he has so many tools man… My only doubt is what moves will have invul frames and what startup frames will his command grabs have, so you can or can’t rushdown him with some aggresive characters like Ryu, Akuma, etc…

Using the slide to escape from jumping opponents/cross-ups is gonna be gold.

You are the man. Mad thanks, brah!

after seeing seths demo i am wondering what would make any zangief players want to stick with him over going for hakan.

hakan seems really strong in movement and options for a proper grappler character.

Lariat?
