I love him truly and genuinely. Loving things ironically is for UTTER WEEPING PUSSIES.
you have no idea how much I hate people who like things “ironically”. Either like them legitimatelly, or man up and say you don’t like them.
I probably do, I feel the same way, that describes it exactly 
And Robo; we did the exact opposite, racing to NOT be haggar. For us it was guy>cody>haggar 
Glorious work there Toast.
I’m definitely interested in at least trying out Haggar on my team. Hopefully Spencer and him will be able to wreck bitches together well. Definitely love the throwback with the punching super though, also the possibility to follow it up with who knows what.
Haggar was always my favorite, but I tend to favor the “big brawler dudes” in games.
I mean, hell, his “jab” was him punching you in your pancreas. Pansy ass Cody and Guy couldn’t beat that.
Toast, have I ever told you that you are consistenly my favorite poster on this forum? Because you are.
Edit: also, the video matches with the rythem of the song really well. TOO WELL. capcom timed it to that song perfectly on purpose. not to test it with Pink Floyd…
You must visit me in the Haggar forums when the game is out. I won’t be posting anywhere else as the other 2 characters will be selected by the random button… If Haggar is KO’d I will concede…
ok I grant the ‘20 spleen punch’ hyper is great also >>
So it looks like he’ll really mess up rushdown but have a hell of a time with keepaway?
I have no idea at ALL what he’d do against trish or Doom.
I’ll tell you what he’ll do
He’ll cordially invite them to a meeting with his personal fighter jet, The Mayor Force one. He will then proceed to stuff it down their pharynx while simultaneously singing “The Eye of the Tiger”
Panties melt worldwide
I might not have played the arcade version but I had the SNES port and played the shit out of it with Haggar being my character of choice. I always had love for the man.
God damn, his manliness levels are off the fucking scale. 3 manly angles for his manly Level 3? So damn manly.
Also, I like how the pipe drops from his hand and fades, very nice touch. Better than pulling a wrench out of your ass and putting it back in. Mayor Mike Haggar takes the “metro” out of “Metro City”… and replaces it with MAN.
Edit: That bass in his theme blows my fucking head off. Hell yeah.
I love you two! Let us combine forces and destroy this post 90’s world of misery with its edginess, gritty reboots and ironic posturing.
Hakan 2.0, except even lower tier.
great design choice on making lariat take health capcom. I was terrified that move was going to ruin tournament play.
Hey its ‘mid 90s’ not ‘post 90s’! I want my grunge and death by heroin overdose applied to the right decade!
Now now, as a Hakan main, he isn’t even that low-tier to begin with. Don’t doubt the manliness of either character.
The Deadpool part being in sync was creepy.
what’s a Pharynx?
also, to answer Windy, he wouldn’t have to get AS close to do damage as say Thor or Zangief. Assists ALWAYS help characters that have trouble getting in, but we all know that already. Once he gets around midscreen distance away, he just needs to do that running grab of his. It’s fast as fuck and goes far. Even if its blockable, get the right assist to cover you while you use it and it’ll be safe. But seriously, tha move is FAST. one fuck up from Doom/ Trish within its range and they’re taken for a ride.
ON HAGGAR’S MIGHTY DICK.
also, his Body splash hyper looks like it causes a shockwave on the ground. Haggar was nowhere near Deadpool when he used that hyper in the video, but it still hit. I’m putting money on it being a full floor hyper (think Gold Lightan’s “gold crush” hyper in TvC). a Hyper like that would make predictable projectiles easy to punish since he jumps up so high.
Mid 90’s had a sense of humour and colours other than brown and black.
Remember when Dudley was suppose to be god tier?
I play Hakan so I won’t be mad as long as he’s fun to play
You can’t fault everyone who isn’t old enough to have played the game at the arcade, I mean I had it on SNES and I still think Guy is cooler.
What makes Mike Haggar so hype right now is the trailer itself, cause not only does he look nasty, and like a good addition to the cast (Unlike Thor) the trailer itself is done in a way that scream “Bitch I’m Mike Haggar” or “Mayor of Earth” cause of the way it resonates.
It’s the same way Wesker’s trailer was so hype the thread got named “Complete Global Saturation” on the spot. Capcom just did a good job on a character that alot of uninformed people see as “Not Zangief, but close enough.”
If Lariat is fully invincible for a long period of time, I can understand why. Especially as an assist.
