Yea thats what I was thinking, haggar doesn’t seem to have the mobility required to combo off of tatsu, it does help him get in though, and then I can maybe play dante on weasel shot to help him once he is in(although Im considering the ice assist, if I find out that weasel shot doesn’t allow you to OTG). Guess its one of those things Im just gonna have to test myself.
I was having it out with Haggar’s violent axe assist. it seems to give frame advantage as well allowing me to setup more stuff with Dante to be annoying and play keep away. Back dashing and calling the assist while zoning. I found it handy against a person lacking projectiles. Haggar takes up ALOT of space with the axe and makes them approach carefully, allowing Dante to pepper with Missiles and whatever the hell he wants to do.
Nah, I think Im gonna go with the ol reliable lariat. Its not what it used to be, but since its not my main assist(tatsu is) I don’t think it needs to be. The main thing I want it for are resets, and since it works so well for viscant and wesker Im sure I can make it work for me and dante. Plus that having a fully invincible cross over combination is pretty convenient.
Been debating a new team with Haggar. Haggar/Chris/???
Dunno who to put in that third spot. Any suggestions?
Haggar and Chris work well. All of Haggar’s assists can help Chris. Gunfire helps Haggar. I used Taskmaster with them to good effect
You could fit a plethora of characters on that team, sentinel is the first character that comes to mind but if you switch chris to anchor you could fit even more like wesker, hulk(team BUM), and pretty much anyone else you feel like playing.
Plus I think Im gonna go with haggar/dante/hawkeye, I tried haggar/akuma and it didn’t work very well due to akuma not reaching full screen. Of course some of my difficulty in getting in is definitely attributed to the fact I’ve been playing the character for a few minutes or so but still.
Hey guys.
I’m running Nova (Centaurion Rush)/Frank (Shopping Cart)/Haggar (Double Lariat). I’ve seen many people vehemently disagree with Haggar on anchor and I see where they’re coming from. My problem is I don’t want to mix up my initial team order and want to keep the Mayor in back. My initial gameplan is to level up Frank, obviously, but after that it’s to gt Haggar out. Does this sound like a solid idea to you guys? How would you recommend getting Haggar out? I could use Crossover Counter but that uses meter or I can raw tag but that’s unsafe. Any suggestions?
I have very little interest in changing my team so please don’t bother! Thanks for any help, it’s much appreciated.
Im not very well versed in haggar play but I think I know a thing or two about team building and general gameplay. Generally speaking that doesn’t sound like a very solid gameplan, Im not a fan of anything that involves raw tagging to be very honest and the team literally has no back-up plan if nova gets killed earlier on. I mean good luck getting in on a magneto with hidden missiles with just frank west/haggar. Now I know you said your not changing your team and I respect that, just telling you how I feel about the team. You have two of my least favorite anchors in the game on one team with neither of them complementing each other very well at all, I mean frank west(even at higher levels) still needs an assist to help him get in and haggar does not help in this regard even slightly. Personally I feel the best option would probably be to run nova/haggar/frank or even haggar/nova/frank. With the first order you pretty much forgo the concept of leveling up frank in favor of a more solid overall team that really only suffers when both nova and haggar die. Frank has the best assist of the 3 and he is in the back backing both haggar and nova up the whole way through.
With the second order, you have haggar on point playing a bit of a battery role, frank west is there to help him get in. When haggar dies you still have nova/frank which is a solid core and due to all the meter haggar built nova doesn’t even need to commit to an exceptionally long combo to dhc into frank and level him up.
Just my 2 cents.
Right off the bat this team looks too point specific. BUT it can work.
Change / Suggestion
I’d put Haggar on point. Try Violent Axe for his assist as I don’t see Lariat helping either of them at all.
Haggar (Violent Axe or Steel Pipe) / Frank (Halal Cart) / Nova (Centurion Rush M)
Notes:
~ One thing you could do is Pipe assist for Frank. after any low level frank combo you can Camera snip for a level, Pipe assist for a ground bounce, do another combo, and get another Camera shot.
~ With Violent Axe after a camera shot it will send them away from you. You should have enough free space to toss a zombie at them and setup for more offense.
~ Centurion Rush M hits overhead. Unblockables for days with Haggar (all his low normals hit low) and Centurion rush? You MIGHT even be able to land Pipe for a ground bounce after a crH and keep it moving? It may be able to help with Haggar’s slow normals. and at the very least force enough block time so Haggar can keep frame advantage with Hoodlum L or Violent Axe L/M.
~As you already know since you use Nova, he has that air throw raw tag business which should be PERFECT for you as you like Hard tag and you want Haggar in. Problem is you would already have Nova there who will deal sufficient damage as I dont think Haggar will be able to fully capitalize off of it. I think you could take it to the lab. if you get an air throw you may be able to Hard tag Haggar and otg H, otg H again with Frank’s cart and follow up with pipe for a bounce and a combo.
bottom line You should be able to do some hard tag business here. Check Flying Ve’s video for that
I’ve been pretty much been in a Haggar team character crisis.
I used to Run Haggar/Dorm/Doom (beam) and was thinking about running Haggar/Morrigan(shadow blade)/Doom(Missles) (yeah you can get relaunches from Morrigan Shadow blade) but on the night before CEO i ended up playing Haggar/Viper(burning kick)/Doom And i played that team for a bit at some of my tourney Matches at CEO recently. and i ended up going back to Haggar/Dorm (dark hole)/Doom. I ended up losing at Winner’s Semis to Knives and Loser’s Semis to Jago. here’s some notes.
the only reason why i ran Haggar/Viper was due to unblockables with the dropkick and the Burning kick hitting overhead.
I played against Marlinpie in a quick FT5 and he knew that the unblockables were coming around game 3 and by that time the score was 4-2 in marlinpie’s favor.
So i switched it viper and played Haggar/Iron Man (repulsor blast)/Doom.
you can extend Haggar’s combos from Iron Man’s repulsor blast by dashing back, drop kick OTG and kara pipe cancel into the L Hoodlum launcher (the one where he pounces at you and yolk’s you at the air)? You can also play really lame by using Iron Man with doom beam assist and cover around 2/3’s of the screen. i ended up coming back and winning the set in 5-4.
After the match i asked Marlinpie for some advice and he felt that doom is not at the right spot as Anchor. and i found this out the hard way when i played against Trishs and Unknown’s Sentinel in casuals.
After messing around i found a way to extend haggar combo’s and get those relaunches using cold star assist. And seeing the potential shenanigans for Haggar/Ammy (Team Hyper combos, mixups, resets, command grabs, throw setups, guard breaks, unblockables)
So in the end, im going to rock with Haggar/Doom(beam)/Ammy(cold star)
That sounds pretty solid. I have been considering learning Ammy and placing her as anchor in my haggs/deadpool/doom team. Doom loves ammy, Deadpool loves ammy/doom, wonder if haggar is the same. If you get any haggar/ammy tech online, definitely post it here!
Changing My team again. My Dante style doesn’t mesh with the mayor. Im gonna try Haggar Dormammu Magneto. Otg business should floe better
mos def. i played with some people around my city and they said its really dumb. next time i play some people i’ll try to get some sets recorded. So much dumb shit. hahaahahah
had some success with Dormammu. I had an easy time with OTGs and I think I wont have to bother canceling pipe and getting more damage. Dark hole at welcome should be good to have Haggar start pressure and just stay on top of the opponent.
So I was thinking of running Haggar (Some assist, probably Pipe or Lariat)/Dante (Jam Session)/Doom (Plasma Beam). Now I am pretty the team will work just because it has the coverage that Haggar needs, but is there a better beam out there for Haggar? I know Plasma Beam sends them away a good chunk and I can’t remember in combos if it works well…I need some input please
It works really well, it lasts long enough that you can easily tag with a jab or pipe and combo from there. Plus you can hit with the pipe and the hoodlum when you extend a combo with it.
spencer(slant)/Haggar/Tasky(straight arrows)
any tips or tricks i could use with this team?
also, what would be the most damaging BnB with these assists?
I use Haggar Dorm Magneto. I find Mag’s beam to help me get in but also for easy followups after any throw. I wonder… if a well placed Violent axe or lariat assist will crossup with a Attraction…
in the corner you can call dante, OTG, land pipe, lariat, Giant Haggar Press for free. I use magneto’s beam. after any throw I get a followup using my ground bounce easily. should be fine with Doom too?
For some shenanigans try Haggar’s Violent Axe assist while you teleport and mash air H. I wonder if you can get away with that really well using Hidden missiles…
tasky’s arrows require strict timing to allow Haggar to Follow up after them but will help you get in. Haggar’s lariat or Violent Axe should help him to. I assume spidey swing, call haggar, OTG arrows will be possible for a follow up if Tasky takes point at any time.
I believe MrWhelan posted a Moves like Haggar vid with Slant Shot shenanigans and Haggar getting either a FULL Rapid Fire Fists or resets with command throw.

did a quick set with a friend. hope this shows the potential of haggar doom ammy
I think I’m gonna swap out Dormammu. really not having much success with extension with him after a haggar combo. though there was some no charge liberation shenanigans. with the volcano looking one there was a lot of shit on the screen so I got away with air pipe or crH. it was pretty funny. But I need something solid.
Haggar shenanigans. Magneto on point. Attraction + violent Axe is funny.
Violent Axe assist takes up a lot of space.
