7 Minute Saikyo: Dan General Discussion Thread

Damn what an idiot.

My thoughts exactly sigh

Its cause you bodied him with Dan, and his sodium levels maxed out.

SODIUM LEVELS MAXXXIMUM

Dont know if anyone noticed, but Dan parodied Chun or vice versa in super with some win quotes. She said “Keep an eye on me father! I wont let you down!” Dans got a quote that says “Keep an eye on me father! I wont let the Saikyo Arts down!”

I used to send corny saikyoish quotes like that allll the time in four. Always got good responses :slight_smile: In super i havent done it because no one sends me anything back or there dicks :frowning:

I’ve noticed this as well, where’s the hate mail? I used to have so much fun with trying to come up with good dan-like responses to them. Not nearly as fun when they’re not mad :frowning:

Hmm im trying to think of some of bests…

Vs Sagats I always say stuff like “I did it Father!” or “Take that, murderer!” One Sagat actually replied “Looks liek Dan got his revenge!” We played again and he beat me with Ryu, sending me a message “Now looks like I got my revenge :)” to which I replied “I took it easy! I coulda won no problem! :)” Were friends on XBL now, haha.

I also met Xiahou Mao through one of his friends. I played and beat his friend, then sent him a Dan message, to which he replied “I play my roomate’s Dan a lot, you guys play a lot different tho!” Turns out Xiahou is his roomate XD small world…

I would send shit like “Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”

I never got anything back :sad:

I remember I played a good Gen once, and the last round I stunned him almost perfected him, his last wake up he threw a random ultra. My message:
“YOU ARE A BIG FOOL”
“hahahaha, gg”
“Of course, with Saikyo every games good!”

I beat a Gief the other day and got a " Iv never been beat by dan that badly befor" made me feel good because gief is a hard match up for me…

i find the trick is to nj Knee/throw mind games after a knock down but im bad at the “dont mash” game so i lose a crap ton haha

Heh, didn’t know she said that. Dan’s still taunting in his win quotes it seems :rofl:

Just send them a friendly message and you’ll surely get hate mail back >.>

Classic, should have called his Ryu a “poseur” :rofl:

My fav compliment message was when I perfected an Abel, I sent no message, and he said “ggs, youre the best Dan Iv ever played” Dont know how many good dans hes played, but still :slight_smile:

I try to break the habit of throwing grappelers… And yeah, on wake up it gives us our time to shine vs a lot of characters. Still, I think if gief blockes the air knee, he can spd :frowning:

Depends on how high you hit him with it… its a great move and will usualy give you a few frames of advantage letting you jump again or backdash.

Ohyea! I created a Saikyo Dojo group so i can find more super dan players feel free to join

what really screws with people or baits them for me is a delayed flying kick in the air. i don’t know if you guys try it but you do it just like cammy’s delayed cannon strike, upforward to jump, then slide to down, down-back, back to buffer and hit kick when you wanna execute. you can pull it off right before landing and really screw people up with it. a lot of times when they jump to catch me i can nail em with it, also you can pull it off above where characters can use dash moves and set up a wiff.

also, perhaps the best thing about u1 is no one knows when it finishes, if you miss you can usually get in a EX DP reversal. i land it all the time as a counter too.

Only crap players won’t punish the shit out of Shissou on block, even used as a reversal you can block and charge a Lv2 Focus in time. It’s only really good as a counter if you’re very good at reading your opponent, otherwise you’re taking a huge risk with it.

to be fair there’s a lot of those online :wink: how many people seriously know the Dan matchup?

also, at the end of u1 dan goes “woooo!” u2 is far less effective at making me laugh.

You’ll breed bad habits that way :stuck_out_tongue:

I find Dan’s scream at the end of Haoh Gadouken very funny myself :stuck_out_tongue: At the end of Shissou Buraiken he says “Yahoo!” or “Woohoo!” depending on what language you have him set to :wink:

hey guys what’s

i’ll be going now.

Bye! :rofl: I’ll try and keep them on the “straight and narrow” :stuck_out_tongue:

I knew our frame data sucked but I didn’t realise how much :frowning: Originally thought it was just slow startup and poor frame “advantage” but every single one of our normals are only active for 2 frames (except for c.HP that’s 3 frames and close s.MK which is 2 frames for each hit), how sucky is that? Trying to land a meaty with a 2-frame move is pretty tough, couldn’t give us a decent 4 frame move we could meaty into Knee with?

Also spotted another nerf they’ve needless given us ontop of the reduced stun rating:
SF4 Forward Throw range - 1.0, Back Throw range - 0.95
SSF4 Forward & Back Throw range - 0.9

Seriously? >.>

So can someone explane to me why Dan’s backthrow is better than the forward? other than maybe messing with a charge character?

It does a little bit more damage, and it leaves the opponent positioned next to you, giving you time to prep a crossup if you want or do the MK Danku over the opponent into Koryuken/Throw/block mixup.
