yea gotta admit. Haven’t seen a pro Hakan in a while.
I wanna see Mike Z play Hakan in a demo, haha. As far as I know, he mains every fatty in most fighters. He seems pretty good with them too.
Juggernaut, Potemkin, Tager, etc.
I’m just tired of seeing people play Hakan and get raped. I mean, they might have never played as him before, but why isn’t there a person out there who thinks that they know Hakan well enough to not get raped every match?
To be fair I don’t think anyone’s worked out how to use him yet, he’s certainly an unusual character and probably will take a while to get down. Once the game hits I’m sure there’ll be at least a few dedicated Hakans who’ll be able to show us the way (and they’ll probably be from here too) :bgrin:
Lol, or maybe he just sucks balls!
o_o
Sharin, I saw you played some Dudley.Would you care to give some information of him on the Dudley thread?
I wrote some dudley feedback too here:

Also you can see in the recent video hell combing U2 and some decent gameplay of hakan 
Hakan players better represent. Alot of the iplaywinner stream called Hakan Garbage and having little combos.
They will all be silenced when I OIL UP!!!
ITS TIME TO OIL UP!!!
hakan fever, its coming
I hope a few people take Hakan to Evo, want to see some high level Hakan play :bgrin:
<-- Going to Evo with Hakan:rock:
all of your dreams will be crushed, when you face Rufus, Dhalsim, and Sagat.
Tell that to itabashi zangief he won some tournaments in Japan.
more then local ones? wheres the proof?
I got the chance to main Hakan for a few hours at the London preview event of SSF4.
Definitely gonna be sticking with him, and posted up a few game notes on Neo Empire.
could someone how are actualy playing descibe if its possible like Abel to press F+P/K F Again to Dash and then instantly throw?
I remember a lot of people thought bison was the second best character in the game, i think hakan is a very difficult character to pick up, i think he has a lot of potential. The problem i believe is that people are trying to play him like zangief, which i think is similar to playing akuma like ryu, it just doesn’t work as well.
The thing I’ve noticed in like every video is it’s . . . Hakan. . .slide. . .random oil-up. … slide. . .walk back and forth. . .slide. . . jump. . .U2. . .lose. . .GARBAGE CHARACTER. . .
When Super launches I’m gonna meet up with Mike Z, Sanchez, and maybe a couple other really creative players to try to figure stuff out. I haven’t talked with Mike, but he and I have very similar character preferences so I’m sure he’s interested in Hakan too. Personally, I have a whole document loaded with things to try out for Hakan (and Hawk, Gief, Dan, Dhalsim, and random others), and I keep adding to it each day.
But don’t expect to see a good Hakan any time soon. If Hakan ever does get good, it’ll take a while, because he’s a really complex character. It’s not just the oil, it’s his crazy normals, his lack of an obvious non-ultra antiair, his lack of an obvious non-ultra get-off-me move, etc. Some SF4 characters took a really long time to take from low tier to competitive upper tier; it took Viper like six months and Honda like a full year. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took about as long for Hakan, and even then, who knows whether the end result will be a good character.
I guess one good thing about it being console is that it won’t take $500 in quarters to figure out, heh.
Hakan think tank
What I am wondering is if he is going to have some crazy hitboxes on his normals like blanka’s Cr.MP where it ends up being an anti air. Like F.FP or F.MP
I think the hardest thing for him is still going to be when he gets pressured, because everything I have seen points to him not having a great get off me move like you said. People are saying normal 360’s are getting stuffed so hopefully he has a couple invuln frames on an ex move. Either slide or 360p preferably.
