Mike Haggar: The legendary fuckin’ mayor himself. Thank you glorious Capcom for this blessing!
Judging from his trailer his level 3 doesn’t seem to be a 0 frame grab. There is a moment between the hyper flash and the hyper actually connecting that seems punishable as hell. On top of that in some of the CES matches I saw him try to SPD Zero at point blank and it seemed to push Zero away. What the fuck is going on?
Capcom sucking at making good grapplers again
but it’ll be all “fixed in the final build”
his punching super did more damage than most character’s lv 3’s though, and he could have comboed after it even further.
I wish but that’s giving Capcom too much credit
I recommend this as the thread title for the Haggar combo thread, or strategies/match-up thread-
‘101 ways to cook a shark- The Haggar () thread’
Wow! This Mike Haggar theme is sick…
I wonder what would happen if someone put lyrics to it…coughcough*
The only thing that makes me sad about Haggar thus far is that I haven’t seen his “head bash” move from Final Fight. Maybe it’s one of his standard grabs that we haven’t seen yet though.
“What If Mike Haggar’s Theme…HAD LYRICS?!”

I think I might actually play some Final Fight to prep myself to try and main Haggar despite I rarely grappler-based fighters unless I’m bored or trying to figure out a basic plan to defeat them.
Looking at the trailer again and the video of him using his level 3 on Spencer, I believe it is a 0 frame grab. After the start up and before they get grabbed, Doom and Spencer appear to be in a frozen state, implying that they couldn’t do anything.
Have you ever listened to his theme from Muscle Bomber-

Would’ve been sweet if they used this one, but what they hey, his theme is OK.
I for sure thought that would be the one in MvC3 as well, but I gotta say his current MvC3 theme is awesome (from what I can hear). Very urban and kinda dark, made Haggar’s reveal seem like serious business. Also love the “Turn the beat back” from Cody’s SSFIV theme (which I thought was the best theme and best remix in SSFIV).
Since there’s nothing else to talk about I say we discuss Mike Haggar’s politics.
I think he’s either a libertarian or independent. He’s obviously in favor of the death penalty, but we also know he’s pro-choice evidenced by the fact that he’s more than willing to hand out free abortions by punching bitches in the stomach.
Soo am I the only person who went for the RE-ELECT HAGGAR shirt on Unity? I went on to PM seth about how horrible Haggar is (yes I bitched at him deal with it) and saw the most beautiful shirt of all time…
I still maintain that there’s probably some major stuff we haven’t seen in the vids yet. The biggest would be some OTG options off his piledriver, and possibly his air throw. Sttiiiilllllll waiting for the 2 match vids that typically accompany new character reveals. I bet we’ll see some new shit in those. An OTG throw would be bawse.
Just got this response from Seth over on Unity:
Sounds pretty delicious. Especially the whole Psylocke assist bit.
Interesting… but I’ll wait until I see it, his grabs looked pretty weak in the debut trailer, and I understand a grab not having a “huge” range… but to the point where Haggar’s collision box actually nudges the character away? Reserving judgement until I can get my hands on him though.
holy crap thanks KJ
The backdrop air grab looks like it does massive damage. We could be thinking of Haggar completely wrong thus far, he looks like he actually has decent combo potential unlike Gief. He will likely still have mobility problems, but if he can get some good assists to cover his approach and help him mix it up once inside, he might still be a monster.
Though teleports…I don’t think he’ll have much of an answer for those, at least on point. At least he has a godly assist from the sound of it.
Wow, good stuff. Thanks very much~!
However, he has the most “Psylocke-ish” assist? Um…I forget what her best assist was. Anybody care to take a guess?
