Bring this thread back from the semi-dead (as think this is most suitable place for my post :P), sad to say it but I came across the first person to not play my Dan 
Beat him twice with Sakura (fairly close) then switched to Dan, he randomed then just kept walking into my attacks and dc’d at the KO screen. Needless to say I gave him bad player review as unsportsman-like conduct.
Well to bring my beautiful thread back what do you all take on this new SFIV edition, as Dan players?
I havent seen any dan specific info. I read some info posted in a thread on the main board, about each character having at least 2 ultras available. Im all for adding ultras, as long as they are selectable like in 3s. Take a character like ryu with 8 billion ultra links, now hand him another ultra thats probably useful in other situations. I think adding more like this just leads to more imbalance potential. Im also fine with adding more characters. Not a fan of any game mechanics being changed, I think the way the game plays is fine as is.
i been playing ryu tonight. feels kinda dirty…but i can see why people main him. he can do fucking anything. i think they just animated him before they checked the frames on his normals. for real.
Huh? What’s this about 2 Ultras, new characters, etc. etc.? Which thread is this? The SSF4 thread seemed to only have story/plot speculation.
iplaywinner recently had a rumor post about certain aspects of Dash. It’s been taken down, though. 
FA is getting an alteration/buff, every character is getting 2 Ultras (Who’s hoping for Otoko Michi?), and other stuff.
someone posted a website, with supposed “confirmed” information, in a thread on the main page. Such as the new characters which were like 10. I dont know how accurate it is. I hate the gief ultra they put here, yeah when gief has ultra now I cant even jump at him without living in fear of an air ultra.
This is the thread:

This is the info that was posted(I cant comment on its authenticity):
For those just turning into the thread (someone asked for this).
From EventHubs.
New characters from older SFs:
Dee Jay, T. Hawk,
Adon, Cody, Guy,
Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto.
Two completely new characters:
Hakan : An Arabic grappler apparently obsessed with oil. (Could be an oil-wrestler, meaning that he’s may not be an easy guy to grab.)
Juri : Apparently an evil Asian girl fighter working for Seth. (Might be Juli from SF Alpha.)
All characters will have one Super and two Ultras to use.
3rd Strike characters have all of their Super Arts, but two of the three them will be converted to Ultras.
Gen will have two Ultras per stance, meaning four Ultras total.
Sakura apparently will have another Super, a Shinkuu Hadouken.
Bonus Stages will be returning.
Ibuki has a command run.
Guile has a Sonic Hurricane.
Dudley has a new Target Combo, bringing his total Target Combos up to 10 from 3S’ 9.
Cody is the only character with an Alpha Counter and still has his knife. Supposedly will need the knife for an Ultra.
Rufus can “cancel-break” (whatever that means) the last hit of his Spectacle Romance or the launch kick of his Space Opera Symphony.
Makoto’s Super is apparently her Tanden Renki.
Zangief supposedly has a new 720-motion air Ultra called the “Siberian Blizzard.”
New “Tadan Saving” system, which implies a new Focus Attack that might be able to absorb multiple hits.
Originally, the 10 characters bit was posted here on SRK, it didn’t last long as the thread was deleted off the face of the planet.
Then later, a rumor post starts on another website (iplaywinner) and is up for a day before magically disappearing. Both alluded to 10 new characters, but the later one alluded to specifics on Ultras.
Yeah I remember there being a rumour about those new characters, must say it seems dubious if what they said about not having rights to Final Fight before was true.
Sakura’s “Shinkuu Hadouken” yell is laying dorment already hehe, if they added that she’d have all her original Supers as Midare Zakura = EX Shououken (kinda) 
Dan’s new Ultra… Ultra Taunt! Instantly wins the round regardless! Fuck yeah
I’m guessing “cancel break” means he can cancel the last hit, making it unpunishable, yay!
Still seems pretty dubious, the Final Fight characters and “Tadan Saving” system just don’t seem right. Also lack of Karin, must mean it’s BS
Well here’s the list of Dan’s Supers from previous games that I see are probably being considered:
*
Koryurekka
Shinku Gadoken
Otoko Mitchi*
and he already has the Hissho Buraiken
But I was thinking to myself, how would two different Ultras per character benefit the character, in particular, Dan? Do you all think it would help his matchups given the nature of his current one? I was thinking of this and my mind went from yes to no, what are your takes?
My logic was from apart from stopping the game from being so static, if they had per se, the Koryurekka, it would have to hit like Ken’s Shoryureppa, which pretty much means on the ground or directly above (for less damage of course). Unless they made it cancel from certain moves, then I don’t really think it will be that big of a boost in terms of gameplay/matchups for Dan.
Do any of you guys get what I’m saying? Just kinda an abstract thought.
Koryurekka would be pretty useless. I’d love to have Otoko Michi just for flavour’s sake. Shinkuu Gadouken would likely be the most useful of them all, as it’d likely have similar properties to Ryu’s Ultra.
I’m more worried about Dan not getting a buff in other areas.
So you’re saying having Koryu FADC ultra wouldn’t help Dan? Seems kind of silly to me.
I still think all the rumors are a load of crap until Capcom says something, and I don’t want to get into a discussion about unsubstantiated rumors.
Eh. It’s no different from the Dash thread we had going for a while. We know an update is coming out. We’re bored on the internet and it’s not like talking about stuff that might not exist will change anything.
The Dan Hibiki discussion forums are the last place any Capcom developer would look.
Sadly. We should spam some taunts… Err, emails to Capcom saying that we would like Dan to suck less.
You missed out two
Chouhatsu Densetsu (AKA Legendary Taunt)
Chouhatsu Shinwa (AKA Legendary Taunt as well hehe)
Also Otoko Michi is only in the VS games, like Sakura’s Shun Goku Satsu, unlikely we’ll see it outside of a VS game.
Kouryuu Rekka would be a little dull for an Ultra, they’d have to mix it up with something else like Ken’s kick barrage that leads into the actual Shinryuken part.
They could (and should) just give Shissou Buraiken juggle properties (as well as the new Ultra if they add a second).
Hehe :tup:
Frankly, I want to spam the Unity forums with UltraDavid’s list of changes… :\
This would essentially make Dan’s corner game Rufus caliber… or at least give him untold ways to rack up stun and damage in combos.
I’ll be happy with the Knee of Justice being a top-down attack. That would be UH-MAZE-ING :looney:
Blurf. That would make Dan God-Tier.
You mean he isn’t already?
Dan is Dan-Tier, which is in a whole different Tier list.
