Swagneto.
Isn’t Swagneto’s assist (presumably talking about the beam) too fast for Haggar? IMO the best assists for Haggar are Rocket Raccoon’s Spitfire Twice, Sentinel Drones, and Arthur’s Daggers.
After any grab Otg mag beam to ground pipe Beatdown.
Mag beam is fast. Haggar just needs an in so that beam is a good fuck you the mayor is coming for you. Once Haggar is in other assist for combo extension or whatever. And if Haggar gets taken out they still have the Master of Magnetism coming to finish up. Who is a far superior anchor than either of those three.
Haggar being a good battery means if he does work Mag comes in with three levels or more some one is getting their Shit squeezed
Quick question with Haggar right now i’m using Haggar(lariat)/Phoenix Wright(get em missile)(also yes I know Wright ew…bad char…boo.hiss)/Doom(Hidden Missiles) and my question is which Doom assist helps Haggar more Missiles or plasma beam
I have been messing with both and i think it depends on the matchup…against a character like trish who likes to throw stuff at you from the air, missiles are way better. But overall i think beam is more helpful. Both can be used in combos so i would just learn how to use both and switch depending on what your opponent is doing
If you’re in the corner after a hard knock down Otg with Jam Session coming in. Hit the pipe and do violent axe L. They’re in position for a hoodlum H reset.
Alternatively the same thing with Weasel Shot is a chance for backdrop
Have a question for you guys. Do you guys think Haggar absolutely needs a get in assist, or basically some type of horizontal projectile assist? Probably a dumb question, but I’m saying that since I have seen Haggars who just used spacing and patience instead and still have great success. I think that might include Haggars like Bum since he doesn’t really use Chris’s SMG assist that much outside of combos.
For guys that are nowhere as good as Bum (ie. me) I’d say a get in assist is a must have with Haggar. Maybe my patience level just sucks though, cuz I tend to run into people (online) who run for their lives when Haggar is on point. Even Wesker players who have superior close range game end up staying on the other side of the screen, so I prefer the pressure of Arthur’s slow moving daggers to help approach.
Just recently started playing again and have been trying out Haggar/Frank/Arthur.Lots of level 4/5 Frank abuse in the video though. Definitely not the greatest team against teleport/runaway players though, but things can happen in Marvel.
Hey guys, I’m going to be running Haggar (Lariat)/Deadpool (Quick Work)/Iron Man(Unibeam). Does anyone else run a similar team? I know Haggar can do some fun stuff with Quick Work.
I run Haggar(Lariat)/Deadpool(Quick Work)/Arthur(Daggers) as a side team and another person here runs the same team as his main. In my experience it works very well. All the assist work great in neutral game and in combos, and both THCs are the perfect amount of time and do a ton of damage. Plus DHCs work well into any character (except Haggar unless your in the corner). Daggers is really good for Deadpool as well to help zoning and do teleport crossups. Lariat is great for both characters but Quick Work doesn’t really do too much for Arthur. You can get the unblockable to work but it’s not very consistent.
I just picked up a team like this today: Haggar (Lariat)/Sentinel(Drones)/Skrull (Stone Smite). I’ve been playing Skrull since way back in vanilla and out of all the characters I can play, he probably fits my personal Haggar needs the best. Since Haggar himself uses no wallbounces, going into an OTG > Pipe Whiff with Skrull’s wallbounce assist means I can hit a regular S at the end of most combos and tiger knee it into giant Haggar Press, causing a huge amount of damage and a nice DHC into Plasma Storm for just over 1mil if I have the meter. It’s fantastic. I’d play Skrull second, but I’m much more used to Skrull anchor these days.
I would reccomend Doom Beam over missiles. Haggar doesnt really have any way to protect Doom Missiles. He’s busy trying to get in.
It depends on the player. Bum is patient and makes reads. But I feel hee needs an assist to get in. How else does he get in on Magneto
I agree… I think there are some matchups where Missiles could be beneficial though. I like Missiles against Dantes that like to sit back and spam Air Play and their air moves that are quicker and just as ranged as Pipe, since Beam will harmlessly go below him a lot of the time. The Dante I play also uses Akuma assist, so Beam is not much help there.
the problem then becomes protecting doom and Missiles interfering with his combos.
So I put in the work with haggar(a)/shuma(a) and after getting knocked down 2 ranks, going through several different anchors and crawling back up I gotta say its well worth the time I put in. I have taken to heart what Densuo said about “fuck you the mayor is coming for you” approach. Any assist that works for Haggar in that manner works for Shuma as well. All signs are pointing me to Doom but for some reason I don’t find him fun to play. Is Mag viable as anchor?
Magneto is definietly viable as an anchor. if he has three meter the first fool that gets grabbed gets squeezed. Disruptor can work for for Haggar.
I agree with that. However, I play against a point Dante that just spams Air Play and Akuma assist all day. Missiles are a lot more helpful in that matchup…
So I decided to try and learn Morrigan and I want to run Haggar on point. I need a second character. I have been using Ammy and Cold Star has worked wonders when I call the assist out at the right time, but is there a better assist for Haggar that would work in the second slot (I was planning on running Dark Harmonizer as the Morrigan assist just because it builds decent meter).
Well I would recommend morrigan second and then maybe some horizontal assist on anchor like disruptor or tatsu. That way whoever your running second doesn’t spend the match fighting with only a meter building assist in the back.
On a different note, Im thinking bout putting the mayor on point on my dante/akuma team, but Im not sure if akuma is an adequate assist for haggar. I am relatively adept at using hawkeye so if hawk’s a bettr assist I can easily switch him in. Which one do you guys think is better? Plus do y’all think that would be a solid team?
Akuma is a better anchor. tatsu gives no fucks but is haggar fast enough to use it? maybe as cover for Hoodlum launcher and Violent axe?
