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

that’s why he wants bike money!. . .

Who’s looking forward to meaty attack/safe jump option select slide, meaty o-s invincible ex oil, seeing whether slide can be used as a meaty crossup, canceling normals into oil while pressuring to maintain pressure, oiled toward roundhouse blocked into another toward roundhouse or command grab mixup, seeing whether canceling certain normals into light oil can make them safer, canceling normals into slide or delayed command grab, using ex oil to navigate fireballs, seeing whether you can fadc out of oil, etc?

<–This guy. Q + Zangief = whoa.

im sure im not the only one whos noticed, but hakan seems to be just an amalgation of blanka, honda and zangief. All the normal moves look borrowed from one of these characters. Even his oiling up looks like blanka going nuts, anyone wanna comment?

i’m excited now that you’ve mentioned this. is cancelling normals to oils even possible? my head just exploded. If all those are true…he’s gonna be a monster. love your Gief Option Select Videos btw!

Actually, FOR ALL WHO WANNA KNOW, they have a kind of rope in those pants, so the wrestlers need to get a hold of that rope and submit the opponent.
Cool sport, those guys must be friggin strong.

Holy crap. I hadn’t even considered a bunch of that insanity. Good god that sounds ridiculous. Just when I was feeling bad about dropping Honda for Hakan (once the game drops and I’m out of basic, that is), you drop all this potential curbstomping. That normal-cancelling with oil sounds crazy. Is it possible?

UltraDavid! Nice to see you post here. Are you officially joining the Hakan army? I look forward to reading your analysis posts about Hakan when the game comes out.

Yes UltraDavid, Join us

One of us! One of us!

Oil Shower is a special, a grounded special no less, I see no reason why it shouldn’t be cancelable. All that talk about option selects fried my brains though :looney:

Yes… dirty Hakan secrets… yesss… yeesSSSS!! MUAHAHHAHAHA!!!

Yeah I’m definitely gonna try out Hakan! I think my picks for a main will be between Gief, Hakan, Hawk, and Dan, but if they’re all about equal in effectiveness I think I’ll probably go Hakan. He looks really fun and tricky.

I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to cancel normals into oil, it’s just a question of which normals are cancelable and how safe or unsafe that is in practice.

Hakan’s gonna rape the shit out of Akuma.

I don’t think people realise how graphic this shockingly common expression is.

Does anyone know which of Hakan’s normals and command normals are cancelable? Does oil/not oil make a difference on their cancelability?

So far I don’t think anything’s come up on which are or aren’t cancelable. . . and so far in regards to the other question only thing I’ve heard about is that oiling up let’s you chain moves you normally can’t/maybe link cause I could of sworn I remember something about clp,cmp being either a link or chain you can only do while oiled. . .

you’ll have to come to wednesday nights more often then, so we can giggle and gossip about Hakan together. are you going tomorrow?

Scary thought: Hakan standing over you waiting for you to get up so he can activate “Oil Cooooooooombination Hold” and there’s nothing, NOTHING that you can do about it. Backdash? Pffft, good luck in the corner. Wake-up-DP? Bahh, Hakan laughs heartily at your weak jumping uppercut. Reversal ultra (i.e. any ultra)? You are only delaying the inevitable.

Need that Hakan dev blog translated.

You can see in the videos that standing fierce does two hits. Almost all of the two-hit moves in SF4 can be canceled into specials on at least the first hit, so hopefully for tricks and pressure and combo purposes Hakan’s st fierce is no exception.
