d.H in the air
Also this:
:l:,
,:f::h::qcf:,:l:,,:dp::l:,,,:h:,:d::h:,,:s:,:h:,:hcb::h:
Does 727,100 damage; after the last j.H hard wait till they recover and you get the full damage of his air throw.
What do you guys do to get around someone across the screen spamming Unibeam, EM Disruptor, Sentinel’s H or cr. H or something similar? How can I get in close, besides super jumping?
There is no other way
super jump and when you’re getting close super jump in with d.H
Just popped in to the thread to see what people are saying about him now that the game is out, and I was actually considering this exact team.
I suggest the low hitting assist (the Gun to the feet) for Wesker ; Combined with Haggar’s Pipe it makes for some really abuseable setups.
I was going to go with the Missiles for Doom. They force people to dash in close to you, and mixing between Doom assist and Wesker’s low assist makes for some great mixup.
I’ve been using Shulk for the low, and yeah, having an unblockable pipe setup is hella good.
Also, for closing in over beams, you can super jump and do empty piledriver in the air up to 3 times to stall, then when you get close to the ground, pipe. Just be wary of good anti-airs and sent kick.
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned, but you can cancel ground pipe during the early parts of the animation into Violent Axe or Hoodlum Launcer. The M Hoodlum Launcher variant looks like it could be promising since people will be blocking the pipe.
Haha I was struggling with this too. Thanks for asking first
I’m not sure if its been mentioned, but after a launcher, as a combo ender (so no ground bounce), I generally use jm, jm, jh, down jh (air pipe), then s or wild swing, depending on whether or not I’m in the corner, the wild swing is actually low enough to the ground to use a body press hyper directly after, which is pretty solid. Not sure of its usefulness but grabbing someone directly after the air pipe is supposed to slam them into the ground looks pretty damn sexy. Haggar’s crouching H ghetto teleport is pretty nifty, gets some awkward and unexpected cross-ups.
what have you guys been doing after blocked air pipes? I have been violent axing behind assists but i’m sure there is better. also is the +9 frames only for ground pipe or is it also for air pipe?
Shulk was my other consideration over Wesker, however Wesker seems to have a lot of tools and is really solid. Shulkie and Haggar on the same team is awesome, but undynamic. If you are having trouble with Haggar against someone, majority of the time Shulk will have the same hurdles.
I am wanting to try mixing between the Pipe and his Jumping Headbutt auto-dizzy depending on spacing and such. Both comdined with the low assist seems very scarey to me. One is super safe and has great range and bounces into a launch, the other must be done closer but enables ground combos (thus potentially more damage) or landing his level 3.
I also like using Wesker since both Wesker and Haggar are fine without meter, saves most of it if I wind up with Doom left over. 5 levels, a level 3 X-factor potentially, and Doom’s great supers and combos make for a great anchor.
Okay so X-Factor 3 Haggar is a motherfucker. Last night I took out an Iron Man with I’d say about 30-40% left by going Air Pipe->Violent Axe M->S.
I’m not talking about following that up with an Air combo either I mean those 3 moves where enough to take out Iron Man.
edit: brain fart, put H for some reason
Been using Sent drones as cover. :d::h:+Drones roll towards them is legit, can cause some crossups depending on spacing.
Also :f::h:+Drones, :qcf:, drones hit, j.:u::h:,:qcf::s: as a mini combo. You can sometimes get j.,air pipe, relaunch after drones hit, but it’s pretty timing/spacing/character specific.
Invincible moves between the 2nd and 3rd hit, but be careful of haggar canceling into supers himself on reaction to your supers.
Level 3 super. as long as Haggar’s pinky touches them they’re going up for the ride.
I need to get the habbit of pressing L in the air out of my system.
EDIT: What benefits does Haggar gain from KFC? I noticed the obvious difference in attack, dude hits like a mule. but WOW he’s pissed.
More speed. And if you Cancel guard with xfactor to lvl 3 super its like what 900K? It might not be that high depending on what lvl your xfactor is, but its high and is usually a free lvl 3 hyper if they’re close enough.
Question time: Does Headbutt still stun Sent/Hulk if they are using moves that give them Armor? Because all of those moves get spammed like crazy and seeing how they are so slow stunning them would be a breeze.
Just tested on sents , cr., and :s:. I don’t know when the moves “get” the armor property, but i managed to stun at the beginning of the move, when the move was out though, the stun had no effect, but it would sometimes trade, I would get hit and they would get stunned. I don’t know hulks armor moves, but I would assume its the same, testing would go smoother if I didn’t have to use my feet though, so you know, might be some timing issues there. Also Haggars air piledriver on sent looks funny.
Edit: Has anyone found the record move function? I thought it was supposed to be in the game.
I like to use L Hoodlum Launcher to close the gap. The M version takes awhile and people can see it coming, but I’m sure you can tick throw them a second the block frames are over. I could be wrong though.
Also, I think +9 on air and +8 on ground
Anyone else find the Hulk matchup hard?Hulk’s St.:h: anti airs Haggars pipe perfectly and then he can juggle with a launcher for big damage. Haggars st.6:h: would be a good normal against him because of the reach but Hulk negates it with his super armour.
Any strats for this matchup?I use Doom(missiles) and Taskmaster(horizontal shot).
I’ve been finding the same thing actually. More so playing against Hulk than Sent, I’ll be mentally saying to myself “oh damn super armor” as Hulk is launching me.
