^ No, not in the traditional sense.
Safe Jump:* “You can time a jump-in meaty enough so that it will force the opponent to block if they don’t reverse, but if they do reverse, you can land quickly enough to block their reversal.”*
As usual nice videos!I don’t agree with you Longshot, i think Hakan is a little better than low tier but not too much. Too much troubles against some boring and cheap tecniques even if you have the tools to counter them (not great tools by the way :)). But i’m totally agree with you about how much gratifying are all the victories! I love to create confusion with cc, whiffed normal and oil dive, focus while i’m moving…in fact hakan is cool not for how many victories you collect but how you win! a question of quality not of quantity! Anyway if you can have both it should be a lot better!
HAKAN OF THE WORLD UNITE!
Those Guy vids make me wonder how effective Hakan’s CC could be against those air elbow/throw shenanigans. Has anyone looked into this?
^ you can avoid the elbow, but like all GP’s against jump-ins, it requires a brain fart on the part of the other guy in order to not get hit afterward.
Basically, you can avoid it, but nothing is guaranteed afterward. I actually think you can be hit for free.
You know that brings up an interesting consideration of Hakan’s GP. I’ve noticed at least 3 different durations of GP. there’s the quick “push-up”, then the medium GP, and then the full duration GP. I’m curious (and I suppose this should be saved for, or at least explored in the Lab or the GP specific thread) exactly how long you need to hold down on the stick to get the three different versions. Also if there are other durations than the apparent 3 I know of. I imagine the “push-up” is just a tap of the stick, but I don’t know how long you’d need to hold down to get “level 2” GP, and I doubt you need to hold down the full duration for the “level 3” GP.
I imagine some mind games could be played, once GP gets further discovered, by an oiled Hakan. GP could act as a random element or a “sleeping giant” tactic if the different versions can be implemented for different reasons.
As far as I know so far there are no different strengths per se its just as long as you return your stick back to neutral. It does require further testing however, I’m on it
Here’s some Hakan gameplay from NSB15.

Its not game lag, its the lag of my capture… rofl
I can’t watch the japanese videos because I’m in China :[
Oh God, the pictures in between the matches are great
Sako using HAKAN?! Omg!
I think it was Sako (cam) VS Itabashi (hak)
If that was Sako as Cammy, I wonder if that, what looked like j.HP, cross-up is Hakan specific since he seems like the type to go crazy in the lab.
Aww, Hakan is getting raped on in those videos.
Hi guys,
So I thought i’d post a few videos. Please excuse the quality, as i’m just using an Iphone to record the TV. Maybe I’ll post more if you guys don’t think I suck too much and humiliate me with your feedback.
[media=youtube]eor1Xp85O9M[/media] (Hakan vs. Boxer)
This guy raped me pretty good in the first round, but I think boxer is one of my favorite matchups. Mainly because oke is so effective against him because the only reversal he has that can mess it up cannot be focus cancelled (headbutt) so it’s easy to bait and punish. Also since boxer is so reliant on jabs, Hakan’s EX rocket eats it for free. And finally hakan slide obviously beats all dash punches including EX.
[media=youtube]ZA34xyMHOEc[/media] (Hakan vs. Zangief)
This is a fun match with a lot of back and forths and a lot of wakeup shenanigans on both sides.
[media=youtube]MQFSnwC99NA[/media] (Hakan vs. E honda)
This guy is a total punk ass. I played him previously and he killed me with tick oichi throw setups so that’s why I ate so many jumping fierces as he was countering my oichi dodges once he figured out what I was doing. Anyway it’s a pretty funny match with some funny endings. Pretty much a miracle that I won but was able to do some nice (lucky) ultra II wakeups that he isn’t accustomed to watching out for.
I hate the E honda matchup mostly because oki game is basically non existant because butt slam and headbutt punish it hard. And both are hard to punish as well even if you block it (except for HP headbutt) Plus they turtle a lot when they have life leads and generally piss me off.
I didn’t realize how annoying it is to upload videos to youtube when you’re doing it yourself. Especially with the Iphone. But anyway whatever
Those were some awesome videos Czigga. I wish I had the balls to play Hakan as aggressive as yours! Very good keep the vids comin’!
Nice job against Balrog, really funny use of ddt set ups! Poor boxer!I can’t say nothing about the match against zangief it seems the poor z. lacks of attack and defense…that’s a bit strange. But perhaps it is your strong pressure that reduce zangief to a poor little cat. Against honda is hard…boring turtles. so i’m happy anytime honda dies.
