Super Street Fighter IV Reveals Final Character – Hakan

The latest and last addition to Super Street Fighter IV’s initial release is Hakan, an Arabic wrestler whose main mechanic involves pouring oil all over his body. It’s not as goofy as it sounds; Turkish wrestlers bathe themselves in olive oil as a means of spiritual and religious significance. Capcom has adopted this tradition into Hakan’s motif, and as a result created a powerful grappler who plays like a mix of the Russian wrestler Zangief, and the Japanese sumo wrestler E. Honda. Similar to other grapplers in the Street Fighter series, Hakan’s a big threat in close-range — but getting close to the opponent is challenge, simply because of his weak mobility.
