I dont think dans ultra 2 dies down if it goes farther. They have probably made that if you hit the enemy after a KO the combos doesnt get longer
You’re right, I didn’t bother looking at Shissou Buraiken but it’s definitely different. For a start it doesn’t have kicks in the current version and think I saw at least two there, plus there seems to be more of a build up to that final punch/uppercut, as in can see him turn into the punch rather than just the punch.
There’s a few possibilities for Haou Gadouken scoring 4 hits rather than 6, I don’t think it’s due to the no hitting after KO as Chun’s still scores the full 20 hits. They could have tweaked the number of hits down to 4, the KO could have launched him away from the other hits or as we fear it loses hits as it travels. However not such a bad thing, you’re closer to your opponent after a KRK FADC than that, and after Focus crumple back dash we still have the option of dashing forward again into Ultra (probably land).
Incidentally if anyone can find the kanji for that as an actual font I’d be much appreciated, it’s too complex for me to try and reproduce in my word processor 
Sorry to disappoint everyone, but the Shissho Buraiken is exactly the same as normal SF4’s. Because the video on this site loads more slowly, you get to see a closer look at each individual hit, but all the detail you’re seeing is in the game already, including the two kicks and one knee. The turn into the final uppercut is also present in the current Ultra, as the final kick launches the opponent into the air and then Dan uppercuts him in the gut as he comes down. It’s still 8 hits, and none of the old hits were taken out, so what else could have changed about it?
The whole animation seems faster to me, but that’s about it.
There were kicks in it originally? 
I watched it several times, after the slow loading watch it again and it’ll be at normal speed. Oh well ^^;;
Damn it. I thought the camera angles were different but, nope.
It still looks a little different to me…
Nonetheless Dan has the best Ultras imo.
D-Bus!
Just saw you on the Arcadia stream! Legendary Taunt and pulling the win! FANTASTIC!
People were like, “Dan for serious?” at first, but after the taunt the stream chat went nuts.
You won everything forever.
Thanks Krackatoa!
I’m really happy with how i did overall, i got bopped pretty bad by Damdai (as expected, guys a freaking monster) and though not on stream, my worst nightmare came true, zoning ryu ;_;. I botched my Super Taunt -> Ultra through fireball because i got nervous and hit ultra too early.
In similar news, i was able to money match Sanford Kelly. Guy plays a mean Dan, and finished the last match in the best way possible. He got me with a focus attack when i neutral jumped. I went flying, and he connected the ultra. I managed to win 2 matches, but not a full round. I’m really proud and i hope i repped the Saikyo Style well. Of course i blame my losses on not having taunt 9 unlocked. :laugh: And damn me and messing up all my kara taunts, i shake like a leaf when i play, its really bad.
Today is a good day.
I tried watching the stream but it was lagging too bad. Saw your match with Damdai (parts of it anyway) and yeah, you lost that pretty bad. Saw you hit him with a level 3 focus then not punishing, nerves I guess.
Heard the crowd going nuts about a match that wasn’t on the stream and the commentaors said is was you beating a Seth 
Congrats man. Can’t wait to see the vids on youtube!
Rep that Saikyo style D-bus
Is there a link to this?
The videos should be up in a few days on Frame-Advantages youtube channel. Thanks Pat and Joe!
Sweet, looking forward to it
I’ll see if I can whip D-bus up with a Saikyo-riffiic avatar.
So we’ve finally got a release date, 27th April (guessing that’s US), which translates to 30th for UK. Was hoping for mid-April 
3 Months to go, this is when the waiting gets unbearable
I was thinking, with Haou Gadouken looking to be safe on block, if you can make sure they have to block it then it’s free chip damage Bit of a waste but last round of the match, both meters are full and they get close enough, Saikyo Crusher chip FTW
SSFIV comes out on my birthday? Sweet.
The fact that I’ve played Dan more than any other character in SF4 really scares me. Great section you guys have going here.
So if I’m going to a tourney with Dan, what are some essentials I should practice, and what are some common matchups in these tournies I should be aware of?
