Hakan looks for me like a GREAT grappler hopefully his NOT Oiled normales are althou “good” and dont suck!
Spezaly since he hase 12 Normals its maybe a GREAT chrakterg and his grap where you keep holding a button seems fine for mee if you can CANCEL it somehow after performing it would be awsome!
Damn Hakan, damn! Yet another top tier, i know he will be top tier, i mean…:
Anyone?
Hahahah I see what you did thar 
epic
Ah thanks very much for pointing this out. In my earlier move analysis, I had tagged his st hp as being an important attack. Does 2 hits, can break focus and can be used as anti-air when times right, as his arm goes straight overhead. I had not thought that he could cancel into a special with it. So now we have his main bnb combo started.
St hp into slide should be nice and consistent for setting up untechable knockdowns.
His towards normals do look awesome. His footsie game looks like it will be strange to fight. It seems like he will have a good amount of moves that will kill low attacks if guessed correctly (no oil s.mk, s.rh, s.fp (honda style), f+fp maybe). Also, did anyone get a Sodom vibe with that f+fp? Killing jump outs preemptively? That looks like a good use for the move. I wonder what all of his 2 in 1’s are? Safe sk oil after hard attacks? Also, wondering what links while oiled up, Mr.Wiz was talking about c.sk x n, s.mp linking. S.mp 2 in 1 to slide?
Ready to just play the damn dude, too many questions! lol!
I looked up that move analysis post, pretty interesting. I don’t remember which videos I saw this in, but his st roundhouse could be a good antiair. I remember it beating Cody’s jump fierce and knocking down pretty easily.
Has anyone been able to distinguish between his close and far normals? Maybe a few of the close version of his normals are cancellable? That two hit standing fierce was done close, but I haven’t been able to tell if the far version is any different.
He’s got to have some other options to force opponents to stay on the ground. I’m really hoping that slide can be comboed into.
Kind of wondering if there will be a reason to never do the slide follow-up. . .maybe not doing the follow-up doesn’t allow them to tech or something. . .but it doesn’t look you can either way. . .
Also something on ultra 2. . . is it possible it could read any move were they’re airborn and catch them?. . .like Guile’s KneeBazooka, Sagat’s TK, Sakura’s Hurrican Kick,etc. . .which then makes me wonder if it’d be beaten out by armor breaks like. . .yea -_- Main reason for this is because his ultra two kinda reminds me of Rose’s soul throw in a sense. . .
Damn this character and his hypeness. . .
Anyone know if Hakan can dash while charging his focus attack when oily? Developer blog confirms you can charge a focus attack and move around when oiled.
Do any of his moves cross-up because I’m thinking his wake up mix up game is going to be great. If he has a cross up to knock down like giefs splash Bnb it would be icing on the cake.
If I read correctly from Buktooth’s report, Hakan is curiously missing out on a cross-up. I could totally see him doing a body splash but apparently he has nothing like that. BUT I have heard from somewhere that he has some sort of ambiguous cross-up using his jump-in fierce? I think it was on the wake-up srk interview or somewhere posted on srk…
Oil>FA charge slide forward(absorb fireball)>Lvl 2-3>Ultra
calling it now since i found out he can slide forward or backwards while charging FA. And he has a good range on it.
I see the Hakan dev blog is out and we haven’t got it translated yet… we’re so close to having a complete and thorough insight into the development team’s decision making for the game’s new characters - but yet so far because we’re missing Hakan’s piece!
Question
Do Hakan have any body splash for cross up like Gief?
Haven?t seen it in any vid.
~getting oiled
Are you sure you looked everywhere for an answer…
ive never played any grappler except abel before,any gief players going to pick hakan?
i absolutly WILL test him!
only his Slide dont look as good as a Green Hand for me we will see:)
Can Hakan jump over T Hawk/Sagat? Its probably a stupid question but hit jump looked frightfully small.
it is a stupid question 
if he couldnt it would be a bug!
that’s what I was afraid of haha. It looks like he’s going to clip into sagat, good luck baiting a whiffed uppercut haha.
