7 Minute Saikyo: Dan General Discussion Thread

Dan’s Saikyo Style will reign supreme in Super. Makoto, Ibuki, and Sakura will all fully understand the Saikyo way.

Is it me or does Dan have a thing for [media=youtube]Xo3Tpw-zLkM [/media]?

:rofl: I’ve only seen the original Japanese of Azumanga Daioh, random ass anime or what :rofl:

Dan probably thinks of himself as a father figure to Sakura :slight_smile:

This is DELICIOUS!

I’m really psyched for this now. :\

So you’re saying that since EX Gadouken can link after a Knee in the corner then there’s no reason Haoo Gadouken shouldn’t be able to? Ultra will probably be 10 frames yeah, and it’s much larger than a Gadouken to boot.

Haoo Gadouken going to be bitching, I’ll probably only be using Shissou Buraiken against jumpy Akuma :rofl:

I hope hope HOPE HOPE that they tweak the active frames on Ultra I a bit… just shave off 2 please, Capcom!

You guys noticed how Ryu and Sakura use both hands to gather ki into/around a single point for Hadouken including Shinkuu and Metsu where Dan and Gouken use a single handle for throwing regular fireballs but gather ki in each separate hand and combine them together for Haoh Gadouken and Denjin Hadouken?

Kinda makes you wonder what Dan could achieve he had were to properly train himself :rofl:

Yeah, but I think Gouken needs to take some lessons from Dan.

Everyone needs to take lessons from Dan, no one is even close to his level of verbal street fighting :rofl:

Dan = quality. Rufus = quantity.

This. Reading a few posts in some other thread I tried for hours to get his Ultra off of a S.MP, LK Danku. Then I realized its a possible setup for his Ultra II. Man I felt stupid.

Also, repping Saikyo on the front page.

You didn’t mention Dan though :frowning:

With Saikyo in my name, do I really need to?

[media=youtube]00GMsvCSLGc[/media] the first one is the best :tup: :rofl:

I didn’t know it could do that…

So I did this on a Ken today, within the first 15 seconds of the match: j.HK > s.FP xx HP.Koryuken FADC nj.MP > Reset > Meaty s.FP xx HK Danku > Dizzy > j.HK > s.FP xx HK.Danku

I didn’t realize how much stun this did until it actually happened. Brought him down to 15% life in a matter of seconds. Tagged him with a wakeup LK.Danku and hopped over his wakeup Ultra for the Saikyo Finish.

Chou yoyuu ssu :tup:

I’m still buzzing about Haoh/Haoo/Haou Gadouden, I’ll make it my mission to KRK FADC > Ultra every Ryu I come across. All we need now is for s.HK to juggle and continue the juggle (no reset) so I can do KRK FADC > s.HK > Ultra on Sagat :rofl:

Edit: Dun dun dun~ tier list ~> http://www.eventhubs.com/guides/2008/oct/17/street-fighter-4-tiers-character-rankings/

Japanese don’t know shit about Dan, why isn’t he god tier? Pfft!

Look at all those 3s, not a single advantageous match for poor Dan.
I don’t think Bison V Dan is 3:7 though, Knee can fuck Bison up if he doesn’t have EX, right?
4:6 to Gouken? I think his fireballs are tricky to get around but once you’re in then Gouken is fucked with some good Knee pressure.
5:5 vs Dhalsim? I’d actually say this one is in Dhalsim’s favour a bit.
4:6 vs Rose? What does she have that’s so scary?
4:6 vs Fei?
4:6 vs Cammy?
5:5 vs Vega? Think that’s more of a 4:6 TBH.

What you guys think?

I dunno. I’ve only really played online so that doesn’t count but I wreck Gouken and Dictator regularly. A good Rose will shut everything Dan has with her normals and Soul Throw.

Maybe:

4:6 Dic
5:5 Gouken
4:6 Sim
4:6 Vega

We have Gadouken to counter Rose’s pokes but I see them trading a lot (probably not in our favour), Soul Throw is by no means a reliable AA but her c.HP is pretty good. She can’t really deal with cross-ups and the only thing she has with invincibility is EX Soul Spiral and that’s unsafe on block (need another 2 bars to make it safe) and as such she doesn’t really have much in the way of dealing with our Knee. She is a bit of a pain to get up close and personal to being as she’s a pretty defensive character but I don’t see it being more of a pain than Ryu, Sagat and even Chun. Think it is in her favour slightly but personally I think you’d need to go into 0.5s for it to be more accurate, 5.5:4.5.

I lose to all those matchups

I win against Seth the most with Dan.

Yeah, I used to think it was even but over the last two weeks I’ve faced about 3 or 4 Rose players that made me change my mind. I agree that it might be closer to even than 4:6, so 4.5:5.5 works for me. Basically what changed my mind was these Rose guys that would Soul Throw pretty much every grounded Danku I attempted, any strength from any distance. It was nuts.
