The Jesse Ventura, I mean Haggar Thread (MvC3)

I knew he’d have a pipe, it was too obvious. He actually looks alright, looks better than Thor (although not quite as powerful).

Hol crap, does his running grab acts as a launcher, his lead pipe and Crack Fist super cause ground bounce, he deals a deathly amount of damage… man, once Mayor Haggar gets in he will ***** your **** up*.

Jocelot knows what he’s talking about

Underestimate the Mayor and get a lead pipe down the throat. Watch your fucking back because Haggar is in town and he’s ready to drop kick some god damn criminals.

I am fucking hype. I love the shit out of Final Fight and Haggar makes this a day 1 buy to me.

What are the chances that his special grabs will be full-circle 360 commands? If so, I will be frownface. Still play him anyway, but I never could do those worth crap.

I really like his launcher, and I may be wrong, but it seems like one of his biggest game changers.

Can’t wait to see an in-match video.

Yea I hope Capcom releases some in match vids today. They pretty much always release two in match gameplay vids whenever they announce new characters.

I doubt his grabs will be 360s. Pretty much every grab in MvC3 is either a QCF or HCF motion. Don’t see why they’d change it up for him. My biggest hopes for him from the stuff we’ve seen so far:

  1. Dashing grab gets/has super armor
  2. Lariat leaves him totally invulnerable (wasn’t it like that for Maki in CvS2?)
  3. Dashing grab ends up being an assist

His body splash super looks like it’ll have huge range–possibly full screen. It should be a good DHC.

The lariat has to be invincible. And that’s probably why it takes away a portion of health with each use. It’d be stupid if health was reduced for a move that didn’t make the sacrifice worthwhile.

You shit your pants
"I said he was boring." you say to yourself, fear in your eyes and tears on your cheeks

YOU KNOW WHY I’M HERE, states MIKE FUCKING HAGGAR, MAYOR OF EARTH
He proceeds to piledrive you into the sun, and MIKE FUCKING HAGGAR LARIATS BACK TO EARTH SAFELY

CRIME MUST BE PUNISHED BY MAYOR MIKE HAGGAR

MIKE
FUCKING
HAGGAR

Seriously. Creating a new character thread is basically like posting “FIRST!” on a comment page.

Only about one more month until subforums open up and these guys disappear. Hell, since we know the final roster, Keits or Preppy could just go ahead and create them now. It’ll save the trouble of some random dude making the “Don’t call me Skeletor! The Taskmaster thread”

But anyway…

It looks like one of his airthrows is a standard throw (might be good for resets) while the other is more of an attack that shifts to throw ala Ibuki.

Since Lariat takes health I’m betting it has full invincibility like in FF.

He’s happy now.

yup lariat is very likely invincible, which could make it an interesting assist in conjunction with pixie-mixup characters. i’m betting assist lariat would also lose health though. should still be good considering the way assists work in this game. i’m also pretty certain he can combo after piledriver AND air backdrop like Wesker super counter…not too sure how viable that’ll be in real matches though. haggar actually looks like a grappler with combos (double over punch ground bounces, air pipe ground bounces, womb-destroyer ground bounces). unfortunately, his combos look like they do pitiful damage.

Turn the beat back!!!1
its the mayor bitches! Damn im hype

This thread deserve this:

FUCK YEAH!!! Haggar BAYBEE!!! I think i just found my Juggs replacement.

Loving that theme.

Thread title should have been ‘cody’s been kidnapped!’

I listen to that anytime Haggar is mentioned.

It could be the new Psylocke assist. Or what Gief’s old Lariat assist could’ve been if Gief wasn’t a massive liability.

Damage looks ok to me. It’s not the best, but it’s respectable.

Oh, yeah. Like in final fight: Moscow, when mayor zangief’s daughter jessicova was kidnapped and codyovich and guyovich have to save her. Yeah. Same story.
