LOS ANGELES - On Thursday I had a chance to team up with Robert of Coin-Op TV to do a podcast with Seth Killian of Capcom. Seth was in the area showcasing Hakan in Super Street Fighter IV, and Robert and I had the opportunity to play as Hakan for a few minutes.

After a few minutes playing Hakan, I like him. I think he's going to be one of those unorthodox characters in tournament play that pisses off a lot of opponents that don't know how to play defense. If I were to play competitively again, I probably wouldn't go with Hakan as my main, but he'd be a secondary character.

Oiling up will be the biggest key, as Seth mentions in the podcast. The ability to move a little bit during a focus was really interesting. And Hakan's range was a big standout when messing around with him from the get go.

Seth and I mostly discuss the good and bad of Hakan in this podcast. But we also touch on some other subjects, including a few goodies expected to be unveiled when the game comes out, as well as the possibility of Super Street Fighter IV coming to a couple leagues.

You can listen to the podcast below.
