Origin |
Hakan is a character from the Street Fighter franchise. A large Turkish oil wrestler and devoted family man, he has red skin, turquoise hair worn in symmetrical circular curls and a large mustache. As of Street Fighter 6, he remains the franchise's sole character originating from Turkey.
His first appearance was in Super Street Fighter IV, an expanded standalone version of the original Street Fighter IV, where he was one of the game's new playable characters and one of two newcomers to the overall franchise, alongside Juri Han. As his style of wrestling implies, he drenches himself in oil before competing in any fight, and he strongly believes that his own fighting style is the best in the world. Despite his fondness of oil wrestling, Hakan ultimately loves his family above all else, often spoiling his wife Melike and their seven daughters. He never goes against his wife's wishes, as she can be quite intimidating when angry. Hakan is also close friends with E. Honda. He would return in Ultra Street Fighter IV, but would not make another major appearance until his playable role in the mobile game, Street Fighter: Duel.
In M.U.G.E.N, Hakan has been made once by Chuchoryu, although it currently remains in a beta state.
Chuchoryu's version[]
Currently being in a beta state, Chuchoryu's attempt at bringing over the Turkish oil wrestler comes equipped with edited E. Honda sprites, but no Specials or Hypers. Considering how he often treats his betas, it is unknown if Chuchoryu will oil this character up in the future.
Trivia[]
- 3ha's Shadow Sumou features a mode based on Hakan, with its move-set based primarily on his Super Street Fighter IV incarnation.
