so guys apparently , your wishes came true
hakan 2012 version changes
• Hakan gets oiled from the start of the match
• Neutral jumping short hitbox is bigger
• Neutral jumping jab is active 8 frames
• Neutral jumping strong is active 4 frames
• Jumping jab is active 8 frames
• Crouching Fierce now hits twice
• F+Strong has a smaller vulnerability area
• Coward Crouch can be cancelled into from a dash, making Hakan slide
• Oil Sliding into body press now deals 150 stun total, and is dealt after the body press, preventing people from getting up to mash out early if the slide stunned them
• Medium and Heavy oil dive, when wiffing a crouching opponent, will go past your opponent to make punishing him harder. The light version is faster to startup, and the Medium and Heavy versions can reach opponents much farther away
• Hakan’s super activates faster and, like oil dive, medium and heavy versions can pass over crouching opponents
level up hakan!!! i like the slide canceled from a dash with CC nice!!!

i’m happy for hakan’s player with these news. maybe now he stand a chance.
couldn’t say the same for my poor claw 
I wonder if he starts with LK, MK or HK level of oil, but yeah, fantastic buff for Hakan.
Oil Dive buffs are really good too, but a little gratuitous since I mainly use LK Oil Dive (because I haven’t learned the Sweet Spot yet). I swear that move felt like the most unsafe special move in the game.
Not sure about his new AA normal frames. Yeah they’re better, but I thought Hakan’s AA normals were already good, only beaten out by Ryu and Chun as well as j.rh by Cody, Ken and Sagat.
Super being buffed is good too, but I was always fine with AE’s grab hitbox. Honestly though I would’ve preferred HK or LK in getting faster startup.
But yeah, all in all, real good for us Hakan players.

Well, I expected tweaks, but certainly not this many great changes. Slide into CC’s going to fun. Wonder if it works backwards?
My friend has picked up Hakan recently, which has led to some awesome grapple battles (but my Hawk still wins. Hail to the king!). He’s going to be excited over the match start oil, even if its just LK. If it wasnt for everyone else on the low end of the tiers getting buffed, I’d like to think Hakan would be moving on up. As it stands, the low tier concept is just going to vanish. 
I… Uh… I… DAMN
I was expecting to see this tiny little list, maybe 2 or 3 things tops, and probably just small frame changes.
NOPE, BIG 'OL LISTA BUFFS
Hell yeah
Aye, I believe they said that it does work backwards as well.
I’m looking forward to the application uses to the slide. Especially, how far he slides, or if he just plants where he is. There could be a lot of fireball/thrust dash moves (psycho crusher, spiral arrow, etc.) that could be messed with using it.
so well there are now three types oh wait… 5 types of slide feign.
- c. HP
- DNC C. HP
- DNC CC
- neutral CC
- EX oiled braked slide from far away
@$%! I am so going to have fun with this.
Oh and I think Mordie will be unhappy about the new distance the mk and hk dive will cover looks like you’ll need to find a new set of set up pal! lol
@thenotsogreatbrain - the LK versions of Super and oil dive are faster
I wonder if you can cancel the CC at any point during the dash, like a DNC. Also I’m assuming this only works oiled?
Man, Capcom have turned Hakan into a cancelling machine! Is there anything he can’t cancel?? lol

The day this news was released was the day Hakan became a god. Seriously oiled up on startup time to get serious with Hakan again.
His subscription to “Oiled Turkish Delights 2011”.
I would still love to get some official confirmation about the oil dive setups being universal as the translation on eventhubs is a bit vague as far as what specifically they may be referring to. Having the ability to perform uncrouchable oil dives on honda, blanka, sim, cammy, yun and yang will be sort of a dream come true at least for me 
I never liked Turkish Delights. But i’ll gladly have one today in celebration!
I’m stoked about being able to oil dive the characters you could never oil dive before (if that is what the change is)…and I know people would say, so what? But I honestly think just being able to do that could change those matchups a lot, on top of having oil at the start aswell.
I was actually trying to make a porn joke, but, frankly, Hakan would never look at porn. He loves his family too much (not to mention his wife is hotter than every female fighter in the game…).
Haha, my bad! I thought you meant the Chocolate. Not sure if you get that in America, lol.
We don’t, but I knew it was food also. =P
Hmm so is it only oiled at the start of the match, or at the start of the round? It’d be pretty amazing if it were the start of each round. It’d be nice if oil could carry over between rounds too. haa.
It’s probably just start of the match.
Edit: Also it says the whole trajectory of HK and EX oil dive has changed. I wonder if it will actually be more like the DDT and jump higher up? …That might be too godlike.
Edit 2: Somebody asked if back dash cc would work, and yes. I think somebody in the other thread said that can me like our ghetto teleport to escape pressure. Haha
Edit 3: This has been added since last night. I have a feeling Oil Dives might be used a lot in AE 2012.
Light Kick Oil Dive has a faster startup, Medium Kick has the old LK startup, Hard Kick has the old MK startup.

Nice buffs. Starting the match oiled up is a plus. Now we can be on equal terms with everyone else in the game at the start. The challenge now will be to keep oil going throughout the match by either looking for opportunities or scoring a knockdown. It still sucks we have to give up a wakeup game again, but it all depends on how much oil you start off with.
^ I think it’s up to Hakan players now to work on getting oiled up and staying that way. This buff just says to me, you start oiled, there’s no reason why you should run out. I think oily defensive techniques will need to be practised.
