7 Minute Saikyo: Dan General Discussion Thread

Alright, I made a giant tl;dr post on the Unity forums.

My work here is done.

It’s okay though. I messaged him afterwords and told him it’s nice to see another dan player.

Yeah. I mean, of all the supers to give Dan…
I hope they fix the input shortcuts in the upgrade. The dfx2 crap for Shoryukens (aka the Ken “WIN BUTTON”) needs to end. It messes up way too many motions.

and it was met with a largely “we use scrub characters, Dan’s a joke so LOL” response thus far. If you ask me, Rufus, a fatass moving like he’s Yun on crack with super juggling nonsense, is more of a joke than Dan, who smacks his own ass, and makes fun of SNK in the worst way.

I never got to see all the detail of those changes, but that’s awesome.
I agree that Dan’s taunts should DO something. I mean, I guess the “super jump” is something… but, I think the point of it all, Dan needs to be more competitive among players of equal skill and comfort level with certain characters.

Whoa, did I say that about Hissho Buraiken?

I love Hissho Buraiken, I just wish it was better. D:

Nah, think it was a misquote :stuck_out_tongue:

Good job about the post, what’s important is Seth Killian seeing it rather than the nay-sayers there. There’s quite a lot of idiots populating that forum (hence I stopped visiting it a while ago :P).

If you guys haven’t read this yet it’s pretty funny :stuck_out_tongue:

From http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/103/1030332p3.html :slight_smile:

Dear sweet Jesus. That’s awesome.

I’d play that instead.

Random jibberish:

Am I the only one who shouts along with Dan? Half the fun of Legendary Taunt cancel is the sequence of stuff he shouts out, “Te-ya! Gadouken! Kuso ga! Saikyou-ryuu Ougi! Shissou! random noises Yahoo!” :smiley:

I caught myself doing it when i was practicing in training mode about 2 days ago, :x.

Just shows the Saikyo-spirit is strong in you :tup:

All the time, especially when no ones around and I taunt my dogs with it :stuck_out_tongue:

Online when I do the Ultra, I find myself acting like I’m doing it, then give the thumbs up/smile to Dan when he does it.

You don’t get that enjoyment with other characters.

You give the thumbs up too?! :smiley:

I’ve been playing Dan a lot lately and decided to go on championship mode with him last night. I usually don’t bother with championship mode because I don’t want to spend my time playing endless Ryu/Ken/Sagat matches. I’m still in G3 and my first match was against a really poor Ken who obviosly just got the game so I destroyed him while taunting relentlesly. My second match was against a 1900 GP Ken (again!) so i thought i was in for a bit more of a challenge. I ended up just beating him (no taunting this time, shame on me) but the best thing was he had a mic and when he saw I picked Dan the first thing he said was “Haha, you know you’re gonna lose right?”. He didn’t say much when I beat him by spamming Danku in his face the entire match :slight_smile: In the finals I got beat by yet another Ken :frowning:

Then I started another match and guess who I got matched up against… Another Dan player!!! He kicked my ass but we taunted each other right from the start. Props to Abaster for repping Dan in G3 :slight_smile:

Anyway, I love Dan now and he’s my new main. Behold the glory of Saikyo!

Since you guys have been asking for it, I’m probably gonna start the Dan matchup thread tonight/tomorrow unless someone else wants to claim it. I promise Sugami I’ll reserve posts this time :lol:

I took a brief Dan-cation, for a couple days.

But the spirit of Saikyo was with me, as I explored Blazblue…

BANG BANG BANGBANG BA-BANG!

Blazeblue is too complicated for me. I need Gadokens.

Would Dan be overpowered if he had an unblockable unavoidable situational in the corner ultra?
I was testing somethings in training mode, did a Gaouken xx Super Taunt xx Ultra and it came to mind that Otoko Michi in SSF4 be a great way to finish matches, and be somewhat practical. Make it a combo grab just incase they don’t block the Gadouken. In exchange of course 1 pixel of life fail or succeed.

Waaaay too easy to hit-confirm, I think. Combo grabs shouldn’t exist in this game. :\
