The Jesse Ventura, I mean Haggar Thread (MvC3)

Amaterasu/Dormammu/Haggar
cold star, liberation, lariat

with Dormammu on point, you have Cold Star assist from Amaterasu, which allows him plenty of breathing room to power up his hands. Hagger’s assist is also good for keeping opponents off him while he builds meter and chips damage with his keep-away. After getting 3 level of Creator, tag in to Haggar and then combo the opponent into Stigma assist, preventing them from jumping. This should allow Hagger to create some unescapable grab setups on a lot of characters. If Ameterasu is on point, Haggar can keep her safe with lariat, though she would be the weakest link in the party on support.

In terms of DHC effectiveness, most of their hypers can chain together with fair ease. Amaterasu can also cast mist and then DHC empty into Haggar’s lv 3 to try to trick an opponent. Team hyper combo probably will be less effective due to Dormammu’s chaotic flame pushing the opponent beyond Haggar’s reach.

Wouldn’t Hsien’s Gong Reflector assist be just as good with Dorm and Haggar?

gong reflector doesn’t last long enough and it isn’t able to pin opponents down like cold star. However, pendulum assist probably could be good.

The idea behind Cold star is to give an assist that can keep the opponent in blockstun long enough for dormammu to power up his creator 3 times easily.

Can we please change the title of this thread?

yeah, its easily the worst one.

Haggar/Sentinel is too godlike right now.

Oh, you got hit by lariat? Bye 70%.

yo renagade can i ask you a question when you do his rapid punch hyper can you combo after the floor bounce?

To be honest, most matches haggar never really came in. I just used him for lariat assist. It’s like a longer lasting psylocke.

When haggar did come in, I found just jumping around and laying the pipe to be super effective. Pipe is down C.

Lvl 3 Grab super doesn’t do enough damage IMO.

I guess we should find ways to reset for Grab super?

I got the game last night and did most the Hagar trials and was sort of under whelmed with him. I like she hulk more as a grappler. I will post all the hagar trails when I get home tonight.

Yes you can if they are grounded and I’m not sure if it works out of the corner but I think so but they need to be grounded and not in juggle state when the ultra hits from my testing.

Vote Haggar: Pro-Choice, Pro Death Penalty

A scarry setup would seem to be Guard Cancel X-Factor -> Lev. 3 It’s obvious and elementary, but I imagine it’d be pretty effective. I have yet to play the game, so I can’t offer anything beyond that.

That could quite possibly be the most epic and tremendous punish in the game. Especially on a last character with level 3 KFC who want’s to be all omega rushdown and shit. That is until the Mayor of America says, “Enough of this bullshit!!!”

There’s some really fun things w/ Haggar.

You can do Jump Down+C (Pipe), Stand C xx lariat (3 hits) xx Body Slam Hyper.

You can Alpha Counter Lariat (3 Hits) xxx Body Slam Hyper (sometimes gatling works too depending on their height)

X-factor Guard Cancel into Lariat xxx Body Slam Hyper is also pretty dope, and doesn’t require level 3 or anything.

— it’s really fucking hard to get in on Sentinel or Dormammu with Haggar. All you have is super jump and wavedash.

So this doesn’t even do half damage too someone w/ avg health w/o KFC?

By the way, do we know the official name of said L3 grab super? I’ve heard people call it Final Haggar Buster, Super Muscle Bomber, Slam Master, and all sorts of other stuff… what’s the true name?

ooooohhhhhhh good shit Renegade. With Lariat having invincibility it should be a great variable counter!

Just saw some sick shit on a stream. It looks as if Haggar can Abortion punch hyper and combo directly into another Abortion punch hyper with no KFC.

thats awesome that means you can combo after rapid fire punch and go for big damage.

I got some Haggar training mode at best buy today.

Against grounded or low aerial, you can do something like Lariat > Abortionator > Pipe > Launch (I forget if launcher or rushing throw) > stuff. It does so much damage. EDIT: Midscreen. Probably better shit in the corner. Abortionator has enormous range though, and you can probably do Lariat > Hyper > Pipe > Hyper > ???.

He’s so weird. Controller they had was pretty terrible, so I was sucking. Gonna try to get my arcade stick on their set up at some point, see how that goes.

It’s weird, everyone had Haggar pinned as a Grappler but it’s almost like he’s less about throws and grapples and more about just straight up punching someone’s head in.

Personally I am 100% okay with this if it turns out to be the case.
