7 Minute Saikyo: Dan General Discussion Thread

Huh? Your notation confuses me.

When you do the Gadoken into the Legendary Taunt, you count the roll-forward motion for the Gadoken as one of the two needed for the taunt. That makes it easier to pull off, and works for all similar Super cancels (Ryu’s Hadoken/Shoryuken into Shinku Hadoken, Ken’s Hadoken/Shoryuken into Shoryureppa, etc.).

I basically just said “Oh looks, I was doin’ it wrong”

I didn’t know the quarter circle from the Gadouken counted towards the double quarter circle of the Super Taunt. Practicing with FAs have led to many lulzy victories with FA > Dash > FP xx Gadouken xx Legendary Taunt.

Edit: What he said.

Huh. I will def try that. You are the man.

Gah, I had this Ryu with a FADC>SupertauntxxUltra and just as I was about to get the Ultra he DC’d. Stupid computer version makes it even easier to DC. I don’t DC when a Ryu gets me with any of his DPxxFADCxxUltra nonsense.

I want the next version of SF to keep playing after they DC and take a video after the DC and directly mail the DCer the ending video.

Didn’t know that, Joe? :stuck_out_tongue: Of course the special has to be Super-cancelable for it to work, which is why you can’t do QCB+K, QCB+K to get Sakura’s Haru Ichiban since the Shunpuu can’t Super-cancel.

Think the hardest thing about trying to end on Legendary Taunt is having the right amount of health for the Gadouken to finish them :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m gonna go try it now. The Dan inside me says I must master it above all else.

SAIKYO EDIT: I did it. Piece of cake. I’m awesome!

He’s right, i’m one of those weird exception people.

I mained Fei at launch for about a month, then Gen caught my eye after remembering how awesome he is.

… then my Saikyo-ryu primer arrived in the mail, and I never looked back.
Just gotta re-unlock gold Dan, as I’ve recently switched full-time to PS3, but don’t have all colors/taunts unlocked yet.

I do have my training pads though, for sparring other Dans.

Neat, I didn’t realize until just now I could crossup jHK on cornered opponents. Nor did I realize it could link to Ultra.

Crossup Ultra! Sexy.

Damn thats neat Pasqual. Ready to take any tournies with our man Dan yet?

It’s okay. You never see Gen appear in any of the top five best/worst fight threads, either.

Gen’s not a bad character, IMO.

They’re not worried about us. But let them keep it that way. Soon, Saikyo will spread like pink fever. They will know the power of Saikyo.

I love Gen, only reason I don’t play him is because he DESTROYS MY HANDS! :frowning:

I thought I was pretty good with him, too. :frowning:

Well, your buddy Dan will be there for you.

You don’t get the same satisfaction as winning with Dan, now do you?

…Dan can WIN fights too? :open_mouth: Man, I’ve gotta work on my crossup.

He’s got two, lk and mk

Usually I go for something simple like c.mk c.lp Gadoken/Koryuken

About all he can really do. Does good enough damage I can’t complain.

I’ve never really played any shoto chars before so the whole qcf/qcb thing eludes me. :9 I’ve managed to land a few of the j.mk + fp + kicks, but usually only against people way worse than me.

Also, I can’t stop trying to jump shoryukens. It’s like a disease with me!

A mistake we all make.

Most shotos want you to jump. Don’t do it! If they’re throwing fireballs try not to jump too close. I have the same problem as well, a bad habit is what it is.

You’ll find quarter circles are a lot easier then holding back for two seconds and all that stuff. You’ll be a Gadoken spamming fool before you know it.

GOOD CALL ON THE NOT JUMPING.

I just took down a 10k bp Ryu by keeping my feet firmly on the ground… and cranking on my joystick when he fired a wake-up ultra at me. Went right through it with my ultra and barely won. :3

Also, I kinda main Chun and I do really well with her… and I was pretty good with Gen, but for some odd reason the whole gadouken/koryuken thing always gets me.

You’ll adjust. You’ll find Dan’s Ultra is pure magic. Goes through a lot of shit the first few frames. Try to catch people off guard with it but don’t overdo it.

His Dankukyaku, his kick, is wonderful. Do the light version in air and have fun with it. It goes through focus attacks, as all his versions of it does. Its kinda slow though. His EX version is good up wakeup it seems.

And don’t jump unless you have to. That’s my biggest problem and I should practice what I preach. Soon you’ll help Dan spread Saikyo all over the world.
