Street Fighter 4 - The Hakan Comeback - Evo 2013

[@RaxuRangerkingsChannel]

I wonder if Hakan is dangerous when oiled. They never said whether he is or not.

[@BryantMoreno]

RaxuRangerking lol

[@BryantMoreno]

RaxuRangerking lol

[@toadsgrove]

+RaxuRangerking lets just say hes lubed up

[@smorgborg]

I hear he's pretty good when he's not oiled up....oh wait

[@pretzels713]

+Zurround100 Gives his focus attack, and command grabs more range. His dashes take him further back and forward, and his slides go further

[@nateema]

James Chen, ladies and gentlemen - utterly obsessed with oiled up men.

[@taichisuzuki1207]

Gotta hand it to PR Balrog. Not many players can beat Infilration's akuma so bad that he felt he had to counter pick to win.

[@HeavyMetalLink05]

For the record, the word Oil was used 27 times in this video

[@abrannan]

That's almost as many times as he said "Hakan is one of the most dangerous characters". I can't be too hard on him though. Live match announcing is really hard to do, period, and even harder to do well. Add in how many hours these guys are on the mikes during Evo, and the kind of fatigue that generates, and I'm amazed they can even make a coherent sentence.

[@HeavyMetalLink05]

very true, I just thought it was hilarious that he said it do many times

[@kalucardable]

2+7=9, 9/3=3. Halflife 3 confirmed.

[@yalfaharr4395]

Evo moment 27

[@talldorkandhandsome]

And thats the important part!

[@tricko1231]

"street fighter 4 is a masterpiece of the series" "he needs more oil, he doesnt have enough oil, hes gotta get oiled up" "now its time for some oil" "now he has to oil he has to oil up now" "no more oil! no more oil!" "using the heavy oil to build as much oil as possible" "get away from that oil" "big oil"

[@MalWareIsKing]

*OIL*

[@PokemonTrainerVince]

U.S. military be like....

[@edgargross2789]

WHEN DID HE SAY BIG OIL HAHAHAHAHA

[@Gam3B0y23r0]

[@HAL_-sg1up]

As Sagat needs more tiger, Hakan needs oil.

[@Victor-Soria]

14:32 "He's got an amazing bags in his trick."

[@opa-age]

This one match justified Hakan's existence in SF4.

[@Gam3B0y23r0]

haha ) but honestly, Infiltration somehow can make every character work D:

[@HomestarRunner20X6]

Hakan was awesome before Infiltration even looked at him.

[@DeisFortuna]

This one match is why Hakan should have gotten into SFV.

[@LegendarySpaceRipper]

He was one of few muscular characters to not be slow.

[@ChadKakashi]

He looks awesome, that’s reason enough

[@ThePhantomTomo]

After this fight, Balrog became an advocate for alternative fuels so people would stop using oil

[@konata2893]

Did you know that Hakan is one of the strongest characters in the game when oiled?

[@krodmandoon3479]

If not *the* strongest

"He's got these amazing bags in his trick"

[@dirtynewyorker4542]

One of the most hype sets in Street Fighter 4 history.

[@TheBrianJ]

While I like the coverage from IGN, it's just not EVO if it doesn't cut to the players and commentary sometimes.

[@danielchoi5943]

around @12:11 @12:12, you can hear a guy in the audience say "oil, oil". LOL

[@majesticmaster3264]

I heard it

[@AzaratheFlea]

The number of times Chen said the word "oil" is too damn high!

[@SmoothJK]

They kept saying "he [PR Balrog] didn't have his charge" when Infiltration would teleport away, but it's because PR Balrog knew that Infiltration had his Ultra 2 and could cancel into it during teleport.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

That is correct =D.

[@MonstarCave]

Hakan when oiled one of the strongest characters in the game, Hakan when oiled is one of the strongest characters in the game, Hakan when oiled is one of the strongest characters in the game if not theeeee strongest. Yeah dude I don't think anythings changed in the 15 minutes you've been casting.

[@thescribe509]

+Nimbus But he's using up that oil time, that's the important part, because using up the oil time is the important part. Using up oil time is the important part

[@pretzels713]

+Nimbus Thats commentary for you

[@turkishjanitor3666]

Hakan when stronged is one of the oilest characters in the game

[@KinetiK001]

A whiff punish is when you punish the recovery of an opponents move that missed (or "whiffed"). Perfect example at 1:11 Akuma threw out a low move that was badly spaced and Balrog whiff punished with a sweep. It's one of the fundamental aspects of the midscreen poking game (aka footsies). If you play against someone that's good at whiff punishing then you really have to think about when and where you throw moves out.

[@RA1218]

Classic match between 2 awesome players. We're all privileged to watch it.

[@Carlosarts2]

*Hakan being low tier* Infiltration: *Hold my Oil*

This was so awesome. My only regret is knowing the results before watching the video. Then again, if I didn't know the result, I may not have watched it.

[@TheManinblack123123]

Hakan is the most interesting caracter of Street Fighter. his skill is very different

[@123eldest]

There must be a fine line between interesting and boring in that case.

[@TheManinblack123123]

yes there is a line. if you can find it ;)

I came for the video, but I seriously just saw the best Duracell commercial I've ever seen, I couldn't even make myself skip it

[@patriciaweber6367]

MISTA WULFY you deserved this plus 1

[@CrispyJuggernaut]

What one was it?

[@MISTAWULFY]

crookfane it was that guy climing the sheer rock face and he slipped and his dad called and he was like "I don't know if I can do it dad, it's so tough", and his dad was like "well so are you", and he climbed the wall and it was awesome

[@Doc_Fun]

Infiltration with his trick full of bags, apparently.

[@Shiki-TMNS]

love that James referenced the movie "Chocolate" at 00:49 thats an awesome movie. It's cool he knows about it. ^^

[@EnzoTheBaker]

James Chen obsessed with dat oil

[@tigerex777]

One of the best players of all time. What a legend.

[@idontseeynot9]

Infiltration made several brilliant reads throughout the matches he used hakan. He was pressured by rig for like 4 rounds il he took away his dash punch with command grabs. By the final round u could see rog didn't know what to do. Great game by both players

[@CLxJames]

Sometime Seth Killian commentary is WAY off Infiltration did not "bet the farm" in that first round has Hakan. Turn Punch at the very least is -2, Ultra 1 is a legit punish

[@Charles-hd9tl]

came back for the memories

[@MrZablinx]

8:15 is where the Hakan match starts

[@ryanwilliams7270]

Hakan doesn't need oil. He just needs to apply a little James Chen during the fight!

Even knowing the outcome, this set is intense as hell.

[@Chocoman103]

When I saw this for the first time, as a Hakan player, I blacked out for a second or two. I could feel the electricity in my brain.

[@VidhantRana]

Ain't no party like a Hakan party

[@boingboingboingboing]

Man it was so hype watching this live.

[@wormwood5073]

So I've been noticing a lot of these matches are always taking place in the training stage. Is there any particular reason for it or is it because the other stages backgrounds are too distracting?

[@MalikEmmanuel]

The animations on other stages (increase the chance to) cause lag. This is important in a game when time is measured in 1/60 of a second intervals toward your favor or your detriment. Plus money is on the line, and the grid helps both players.

[@HylianTicipated]

Amazing bags in his trick. LOL

[@ExpensiveGarbage]

[@eastull]

This is the oiliest comeback I've ever seen

[@ultimatesharpzgaming3186]

The game looks crisp bro

[@Mister_non]

People choose training stage for less distraction while playing, and also the simple background causes less lag when playing online...

[@LilMotegi]

Great match for both tech knowledge and commentator bloopers. Seth at 5:58 "One game a piece." stated as thought PR just concluded game two for a victory. Chen at 8:15 begins to give the Stream knowledge on PR's match history and Seth motherfucks his train. Seth at 14:32 states "He's got some amazing bags in his trick." The game and it's many commentators are just one in a million.

[@Gerald_of_Darkness]

About counter-pick. PR Balrog has the option to change his character when he was losing. He did not, so there was no unfair disadvantage whatsoever, he just choose to be in that state.

[@facts-never-lies3160]

come on people pr balrog did a great job against haken. why are u guys talking like pr balrog got destroy?? he didn't. akuma is also a bad match up . the man made him switch his main character for God sakes. balrog is an underrated character in opinion. true he doesn't have a mixup game but his got insane pressure game , great corner game, good mid game, frame trap the shit out u, best jab in the game. the only person that understand rog well is pr balrog. next time pr plays haken he will beat him. take my word. both did great job

[@jimsicle]

agreed. as someone who mains Balrog and also plays Hakan, PR Rog still did good against Hakan despite it being a bad matchup. Hakan ftw!

[@MegaAbe1]

Bags in his trick

[@MaxCovington543]

How come most SF matches at EVO take place in the Training Arena?

[@Fgtr4Life]

on any other stage (on PS3) the background movement can sometimes induce a slight bit of lag which cause many many problems. To avert this, most tournaments on ps3 use only the training stage, EVO being one of them. Mind you i'm not bashing on PS3. I'm a diehard fan, but from my perspective as a member of the FGC the facts are the facts.

[@MaxCovington543]

TagAnarchy Makes sense to me. Thanx!

[@MegaMawileTheNommer]

TagAnarchy The lag is not the reason. The map is Null, It has no visual distraction, no effects limiting the color blind, nothing. It is basically a blank background where only the characters are visible. The anti-lag Nonsense is just icing.

[@mikef670]

RoseMantis28 no it's because of frame drops on the ps3

[@MegaMawileTheNommer]

Mike F And I am sure Final Destination is chosen over any other map because of Frame Drops, not because it pits the players 1 on 1 with no distractions at all... Ignoring there are other Flat maps in Smash with no added hazards but that have more going on visually yet never frame drop in 1v1...

[@garrettburton8413]

As both a WWE fan and fighting game semi-pro, let me apologise on this guy's behalf. eSports might not be as physically draining as IRL Sports, but it's mentally draining instead and takes just as much commitment.

I was able to pick up on most of the fighting game lingo while watching this over the weekend, but one thing I didn't get was Whiff punish, or Whip punish. I'm not sure what they say. Anybody know what that means?
