OK, time to talk about CS Haku and CT Haku. I didn't want to because that means I have to think about it again and I didn't want to. :P Haku, as he was in CT, was originally an up-close tank character. His defense was the Great Wall of China, he had 6A to stuff air approaches, it was great for blockstrings, it let you gatling into other moves, same with his 6B. Much more threatening up close. A lot of his other moves had high priority. He did ridiculously awesome damage, and his counters were real gamechangers. Just getting near Hakumen was basically gambling your match away, and that made him not only scary to have to approach but the kind of character where you're like OH GOD HE'S IN FRONT OF ME WHAT DO I DO NOW when he gets close. And on defense he was basically a ticking time bomb that would blow away half of the opponent's life in one good read. I always thought of him as a Lightning Bruiser.
