Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite/Haggar

Mike Haggar

The mayor of Metro City is back for his second term. Originating from Capcom's Final Fight series, a sister series to Street Fighter taking place in the same shared universe, Haggar entered the vs. series in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, acting as a sort of replacement for Zangief as the series' inveterate grappler. In his home esries of Final Fight, Mike Haggar is the mayor of Metro City, a bustling metropolis ridden with violent street crime. When the evil Mad Gear Gang kidnaps his daughter Jessica, he decides to step out of the office and take a hands-on approach to fighting crime, utilizing lead pipes, barrels, and his trademark wrestling moves to clean the mean streets. He brings all this and more to the table in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.

In a nutshell
In Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, Haggar brings his usual mix of devastating command grabs and surprisingly high damage without resource investment, but he's a bit more well-rounded now as he has oil drums from Final Fight that can shield his advances and give him full-screen presence, giving him more opportunities to push his pressure and mix-ups.

Unique Trait

Cleanin' up the city: This trash projectile is a good way for Haggar to zone his opponents and make them respect his ranged game. There is a small chance that after the trash goes away that it leaves behind either food that can grant super meter or a gem that can grant stone meter (however, your opponent can take these items too). What's more, on the ground Haggar, can hold this projectile, and if it's broken while holding it, he gains some invincibility.

Normals

Standing Light Punch	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties

	Does not allow you to chain it into itself or other light punches.

	This normal has strange cancel behavior. During the early recovery frames, when he's still airborne, it cannot cancel into anything except Tag; not even Surge or Storm, nor aerial Specials or Hypers. However, in the later recovery frames, once his feet are touching the ground again, it behaves like most any other normal in terms of cancel properties.

	Haggar's only low that doesn't knock himself down.

Crouching Heavy Kick	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	800	Low	16	6	60		-47	Hard Knockdown
	This normal puts Haggar into a Hard Knockdown. This may seem disadvantageous, but it allows you to use the fully-invincible, completely safe rolling options you get from a knockdown in order to approach an opponent. The block disadvantage includes the total knockdown duration, and is not the time spent at disadvantage while standing.

	Unlike in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, this no longer has special properties on Counter Hit. Strangely, this standard-looking aerial strike can be blocked either standing or crouching.

Double Lariat	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	400x 6 (2120)	Mid	9	53	21			Invuln frames 1-45
	Haggar spins in place with a highly generous invulnerability window; however, performing this move converts 1000 of your health into red health. This can never kill you, so it's essentially consequence-free if you're at extremely low health. Usually only connects with 2 hits for 800 damage, requiring Space Stone's Storm to get all 4.

Flying Piledriver or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		2200	Throw	10	2	26		-
		3000	Throw	4	2	32		-
	Haggar's iconic command grab. The LP version has a fair bit more reach than the HP version; approximately the same reach as his 5LP.

Sky-High Backdrop j. or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1800	Throw	10	1	32		-
		2400	Throw	4	1	38		-
	The air version of his command grab. This can be used to stall for time in the air, as Haggar pauses his descent when he whiffs this move. Both moves have the same total duration, so both are equally good for this purpose. Much like the ground version, the LP version has more reach than the HP version.

Wild Swing j. or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1230 (3 hits)	Mid	12	2	23		-
		1680 (3 hits)	Mid	17	2	23		-
	An air combo ender.
