Yea probably but hey some people play characters they like.
The portion where your throat and sinus meet, and the reason why you can shoot milk out of your nose when you laugh while drinking.
Basically Haggar will be shoving a fighter jet up their nose and down the other side.
So when they laugh, they’ll shoot JET FUEL!!!???
awesome 
Edit: also, fairly sure Lariat is gonna have some really Bullshit Invincibility. Capcom’s been giving alot of characters moves from their original games (C.Viper’s focus) that are both faithful (can absorb damage and retaliate) and balanced (can take unlimited hits, but damage is permanent) for Mahvel.
If it does Capcom felt the need to balance it via HURTING THE CHARACTER THAT USES IT, then it must be pretty darn good.
They won’t laugh they’ll be fucking dead
This is how I feel. Personally, I hope it makes an amazing assist.
However, there IS the possibility that they made it that way simply because that’s how it worked in Final Fight.
I was rolling with the “shooting milk out their nose” thing. It was like Joke, haha. you laugh, yes?
Zangief did had an assist just like that and you could not keep him from doing it as an assist if he was in metal zangief mode. Zangief fucking SUCKS in mvc2 and the assist is only used as a gimmick.
For the love of god did any of you guys play mvc2? fuck that, do any of you guys play fighting games!?
Mike Haggar, the Sultan of Slam, has no time for your shenanigans
We don’t even know shit about the guy, give it a rest. For all we know the first bit of Berserker Barrage hurt him and not the lariat.
No, they only did it because it takes health in Final Fight, but i guess no one here actually played that game either.
yer on a roll dpfssj >>
And that assist was a good assist. The problem was Gief himself was shit. You needed him in to first get metal then tag him out just to get it. And heaven forbid everyone else dies, you have to unmetal him so that he doesn’t die instantly. And even then, you’re still left with Gief.
Haggar does not look nearly as shitty as Gief on point. Not even close. And even if he did, the fact that you can stick what’s possibly a very good assist down on slot 3 with absolutely no need to ever tag him in is good enough.
Unless you actually think people were picking CapCom and Psylocke because they were really good on point.
Get over yourself, guy.

This isn’t MvC2 or any other fighting games. What sucked there may not be the case here. Try harder.
Vangief would like a word with you.
take a chill pill Deadpoolfanssj4. It’s already pretty apparent that Haggar has better tools than Zangief already, and even THOR isnt as bad as MvC2 Zangief. besides, game ain’t out yet, and we’re not even sure what all of his moves even are yet.
besides, when Zangief gets hit while in Mecha-Zang mode, he doesn’t get stunned, but the attack still slows him down, making it less useful. It’s looking like Haggar’s lariat COULD outright outprioritize other moves and not slow down, which would make it a better assist than Mecha-Zangief’s.
It’s not even that. A key component of MvC2 is assist. Tron on point is garbage. But her assist? One of the best in the game. Result: teams have Tron stuck on slot 3. If things go you right, you never need to ever use her ever. That was the beauty of synergistic teamplay in MvC2
But hey, it’s not like I’ve been playing that game since 1999. What the fuck do I know, right?
does vangief play zangief in mvc2?
Yeah the basic rules from the previous game definitely apply in the sequel.
Not to mention that we only have ONE CLIP of the lariat, and he gets hit with Berserker Barrage at the start, so it could be that doing the damage for all we know. We will see how well Haggar turns out ON RELEASE.
Your absolutely right but not what I was getting at. It’s ludicrous to think that a tactic or technique that sucked in a previous game is destined to suck again in the new game. Even more ludicrous is that he’s using Zangief as his base when he’s completely different character from Haggar.
I really hope seth does a Demonstration of Haggar at some point. There are things I NEED TO KNOW.
