Hakan!



Week late video game news! Capcom reveals its latest world warrior; a Turkish wrestler named Hakan. This supernatural stompah oils up for slidey grab and mangles, and poop-shoot eject Ultras. Look at their faces! They wear a scowl of acute misery! Except Dee Jay, he's enjoying himself. Given Hakan's broad grapple outline, it makes you wonder if the character started off as an appearance for Final Fight politician Mike Haggar? It's all there: prowling monster walk, grab damagers, leather pants, facial hair. It's a different kind of comedy seeing a moustached scowler oil up and manhandle though - maybe a little too leather daddy for Capcom?
