Dan Improvement Thread!

So…

All I really can think of right now…

Let his jabs link…im thinking ken like…have a sweet combo…cr.lp, st.lp, cr.mk, into w/e

Super…A shinku gadouken

and a quicker, safer LK danku

He needs a nerf, not a buff

two words

otoko michi

Keep his flavor; he’s not supremely terrible in vanilla SF4. Tweak a few moves up a bit.

In the thread MrWizard made about improvements to SF4, I suggested buffing his health and making his entire gameplay style based around taking hits on purpose with plenty of armor moves. I think that fits the whole “Dan’s getting more health in his latest appearances because dammit, he’s proven he can take a beating” theme.

New ultras for Dan? Here’s one out of left field: a 720 air command grab, Maki-style.

:rolleyes:

No. The days of Dan being a gameplay joke must reach their end. He can be a joke and still be a viable choice (e.g., Rufus).

Dr. B wants Dan buffs because Dr. B and H to the I to the B-I-K-I are homies.

give him a SPINNING PILEDRIVOR

Finish his SNK parody conversion, keep his normals as awful as they are, same with his specials but replace his dashes with runs and give him a short hop. Beast Dan is beastly.

taunts, a lot more and they actually do damage.

i thought the idea of dan was you used him in order to piss your opponent off and beat them with an inferior character, whilst taunting them. :slight_smile:

The only buff Dan needs is otoko michi and ultra taunt. And ofc damage on crouch and jump taunt.

Make him even more gay

Here’s my question.

What’s Dan’s other ultra gonna be? I hope it’s hilarious and annoying. Sorta like Bangs annoying song based super in BB.

But besides that I like Dan the way he is with a little more life and some sort of armored move.

Two words… “Dan Install”…

I hope Dan gets cut from the next version. Keep trash out of the main series.

YES.

Fuck that nonsense. Just make him a viable choice, and then BAM another character to learn, one who wears mad sexy PINK.

Not as mad sexy as Dr. B though.

Combo into taunt. That’s all Dan needs.

This. So you can create your own kinda taunt I guess.

Lol, custom taunt combo.

I want his little paper autograph airplane.

Clearly you have no idea how much fun Dan is to play–or lack the imagination to do so enjoyably. I’ve kicked a lot of ass Saikyo-style and I’d like to see it continue his way.

What does Dan need?

Well, that’s a tough call. Dan should be a contender, but still bottom-barrel. However, I still think that a number of improvements could be made to his unique persona to make him all the more a character.

Taunting should be a center of his style. Taunting should regenerate some health, increase damage, or add armor of some sort temporarily. This could encourage taunting and then brazenly attacking.

You should also be able to combo into a taunt.

Dan has a “Legendary Taunt”, we should give him an equivalent in the form of an Ultra–something supreme, and entirely awesome.

Other then that, I think if we could link Dankyaku’s into combos and give him juggling power, it’d be sick. For example, LK + MK-Dankyaku + Koryuken as a combo–that’d be cool.

Or, perhaps best of all, give him some sort of single-character super-ultra that transforms him into Dark Dan and causes him to do some sort of Shin-Goku-Satsu. Comical, crazy, ridiculous–this is what Dan thrives off of, so they might as well load him up with more shenanigans.

dan is awsome the way he is…i do like the combo into taunt idea though.,… and he needs more taunts…
