March 9, 2010: we'll remember it as the day that Capcom finally confirmed the last thing on that huge leaked list of features and characters appearing in Super Street Fighter IV. The last major thing is Hakan, another all-new character who joins Juri, the other brand new fighter in SSFIV. He's... kind of cool.

OK, so the back story is that he runs a cooking oil company, and he's traveling the world in search of the world's greatest oil recipe. It's not exactly "traveling the world to dragon punch waterfalls and not talk much," but it's certainly not the oddest background in Street Fighter's history.

The oil thing plays into just about everything that Hakan does, and by doing a dragon punch motion with kick, Hakan will start happily spilling oil all over himself, giving him a much brighter--and somewhat more disturbing--shine. When he's shiny, he takes less damage and some of the moves change properties a bit. It really seems like he gets more range when he's all slicked up. The oil doesn't last forever, so it'll need to be reapplied during the match, which obviously leaves him open to attack.

Hakan also has a stomach slide, done via a fireball motion with punch. This low slide bowls over standing opponents, and if you hit punch as the slide is connecting, he'll slide back the other way for a second hit. His other two specials are 360-motion throws. Performing it with punch is a close-range grab that squirts the victim out of his arms. A 360 with kick performs a lunging grab.

Like everyone, Hakan's got two ultras, the Oil Coaster and the Oil Combination Hold. I'm not even going to waste your time by having you read about these. Just watch the trailer here to get a sense for what these do.

this has left me speechless

My new main.

The last thing I'd want to hear when an oily dude like that is on top of me is "Here I come!"  Of course, I don't know why an oily dude would be on top of me in the first place.

What's with the old video player? Oh and yeah this guy looks hilarious. Capcom is making a good case for picking up SSF4 after the original.

Finally, he looks like a pain in the ass.

Why does it look like Hokan to me in the video? And speaking of the video, Why is it the old player?

That motor boatin' sonofabitch looks like he smells.

" My new main. "

" Why does it look like Hokan to me in the video? And speaking of the video, Why is it the old player? "

Man, he's cool.
 
Like all the interesting characters, he must be low tier =(

I've always wanted to play as a strange, super horny, sweaty version of Satan.

This dude straight owns.

Gross.
 
But awesome!

Dude, what?
 
Also, I wonder how many people got Jeff's "Hakan CHOP!" reference.

Not looking forward to fighting this char =/ My viper wont stand a chance!

Pretty crazy. That kinda stuff weirds me out a little bit, but its placement is funny enough that I'll give it a chance.

I'm warming up to Hakan, from the video, at some point he starts slipping when attempting to command grab or something. That could be a detrimental effect of the oiling up. Very interesting playstyle, and one of the best AA ultras ever? Color me intrigued. Design is still completely hilarious, though.

Ken's fierce shoryuken will have him in flames.

YES! YES! YES!
 
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE  say this means the return of the old GOOD player.
No framerate issues whatsoever.

" My new main. "

I say just the first day as people are sure to get bored of squirting people through their legs (right?) "

if this was said already, my apologies, but he looks like he should be on Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo 

Capcom's just getting stupid...
 
Who the hell came up with this? I could come up with better characters than this.

"this has left me speechless"

I love that while all the other characters look freaked out or at least mildly uncomfortable while being oiled by Hakan, Deejaay just looks stoked. Still in development I guess.

Down+Down-Forward+Forward+Squirt

lol awesome character, epic video

Is there any reason why he's red?

This is the best thing ever. I am immediately buying this game when it comes out. Never played SF4 but this is.... epic!

So is he supposed to be, like, one of those Turkish wrestling dudes? Like in 'Topkapi'? That's definitely an interesting addition, and I don't even care about SF that much.

I really like him. The fluidity in the animation, the overt styling, and the nature of his move-set, all look great. Possibly the last character before we see a Darkstalkers model of Lei Lei in a Capcom teaser, I wish, This character gives me a lot of hope and optimism for that game.

huh. ok.
 
 
I got nothing else :P

O kay

SOLD!

He looks fucking amazing. If I don't like Cody, I'll put him into my 3rd slot. So far, Dudley and Juri are what I'm looking into. 

I LOVE MY DAUGHTERS! THEY ARE SO PRETTY! lolwut!?

I will reiterate how awesome I think this dude looks. 
He looks awesome.

It's nice to know they held onto this fuckface of a character for so long. Because waiting for three months was totally worth it.

Wait. What?
