That’s a shame about the barrel… it was fun to dream of while it lasted 
I really wish Capcom would get their heads outta their asses and focus on people like Haggar, Thor & Hsien-Ko.
Thanks for the info.
im going to say this about it i cant really judge becuase i didnt get much time on it…but i think the otg is massive plus his larriet assist is still probably one of the best assists in the game…i was using it the same way that i allways use it and didnt have any problems with him being knocked out of it…the barrel could be another input maybe like viper hold a button and then he tosses a barrel. right now like ive been touting from the beginning he just needs a way to get in and he will be a really good character especially with an otg now.
I’m gonna stick by my men (Thor/Haggar) no matter what happens to them. I’m just hoping it’s for the better.
My first team in Ultimate will probably be **Thor **(Mighty Smash)/**Doctor Strange **(Bolts of Balthakk)/**Haggar **(Double Lariat)
Did you get a chance to experience how Doctor Strange and Haggar mesh together? If so, what was the outcome?
I wonder if Haggar’s violent axe assist is any good as an “alpha counter”…
Did you get a chance to see if his command grabs got any better? Especially if his OTG let’s him follow up after them he could actually have a decent mix up game now.
The same thought occurred to me. There’s enough time after Piledriver to THC with an OTG hyper on your team, so it makes sense that Haggar might be able to get a full combo from it now with just the help of an assist - that’s a nice buff to him. If they gave him that plus armor on Violent Axe, I wonder how you Haggar mains would feel about him in general.
i was able to get a few violent swings with him and if i remember corectly i was able to do the otg i couldnt get to pull of any piledrivers
Thanks again for taking the time to test out the new UMVC3 Haggar! Some of the info you’ve posted sounds very promising. It’s looking like his OTG is going to be a quintessential part of his game, provided you can combo after it easily. This’ll make his command throws actually have a great use, if we can land the OTG after them.
No news about the charge move? I was actually at the UMVC3 panel at EVO, when they announced that Haggar is going to be getting a new charge move. Of course, they didn’t say what it was, nor did they specify if it was a charge motion akin to Sonic Booms, or if it’s just a charge to some of his normals ala Super Skrull. Well, time will tell. Hopefully this new charge move gives Haggar a tool he didn’t already have and perhaps needs.
I think you should be able to get otg dropkick after skyhigh at least, he recovers pretty fast from that.
im going to make an attempt to get the 4day pass for comic con with a buddy…so he can record what i do and i can post it on here.
Wait what? we can register already??
why do I feel like we’re sleeping on the Violent Axe assist…
Because in MvC3, it just didn’t cut it from what I’ve seen. Maybe someone who gets their hands on Ultimate can try it?
Well I’m going into theory fighter but I’m thinking chris can do otg crH haggar axe assist, magnum
But couldn’t he do that with Lariat?
Yes indeed ;_;
Violent axe is so whack.
looks like the haggar larriet assist got the tron treatment

he was getting hit out of it all over the place. looks like you got to use it as anti air now.
Hell at least it still works as an Anti-air. I saw a dive kick beat Tron fire clean on stream.
I really, really hope these changes to both assists don’t stick, because no new characters I’ve seen have decent defensive assists (I saw Nemesis get knocked out of super armor like it was nothing quite a bit), and if Capcom wants rushdown to not be as dominant they aren’t making any right choices with these nerfs.
That really sucks because as a Chris player the Double Lariat assist is crucial for my defense (even if it’s only a soft knockdown). There seems to be no good GTFO assist in UMVC as of now.
so now it gets stuffed all the time? well, that makes the health that Haggar loses from that assist COMPLETELY POINTLESS now.
seriously, when is the fucking good news coming? is OTG cr.H all we’re getting? cuz that’s not gonna makeup for no longer being a good assist (unless they retcon that nerf before it drops, and i hope they do)
not good… at all This is gonna put a big dent in my team.
