But with the huge buffs Dan got from SFA3 to SF4, its clear that Capcom want to at try and make him at least vaguely competitive rather than just a taunt at your opponent. And as pointed out in this thread, he should have -more- health, because he’s taken a ton of beatings from just about every character in the game and doesn’t seem to have died yet. 
Also, the joke SGS is Otoko Michi, which just about everyone wants for Dan to have a proper cinematic version of it.
Otoko Michi would be soooo cool in Ultra form.
Just as cinematic as SGS, but with all the more Saikyo! 
I would like dans normals to be faster…but I think thats pushing it a bit…hes supposed to be slower than the other shotos…I dont like how ryu is faster than ken in this game…
but he does need alot quicker recovery on his dankus and his gadouken…
I like the idea of his ex danku having armor…and maybe they could extend the length of it a bit
Esura is an idiot, has proven that idiocy on multiple occasions, and all-in-all should be ignored in this or any topic. He’s made zero credible points and provided zero real evidence to support his bullshit claims.
Just getting that out of the way. Carry on.
Dr. B is so Pringles, he makes straight men turn gay. RETRO MIX UP FOOLS.
I disagree, he is all about the rush-down. His attacks might be slower but he is very fleet of foot. I play Ryu and it feels like the worst ‘net-lag ever he’s so damn slow. But I do agree, tweak a few attacks to be quicker, give him a bit o’ the ol’ invincibility on his backdash, and make it harder to sweep him out of his Dankus and I would be very pleased.
Whoa dude, thats a bit harsh. What have I ever done to you?
give him Otoko michi and Premium Sign. quicker recovery on gadoken would be fine too
Whats a Premium Sign.?
Basically, you just said “DAN SHOULD BE CUT OR AT LEAST SHOULD BE NERFED FOR NO REASON AT ALL”. That’s pretty stupid.
I agree…those are easily fighting words to a student of saikyo like ourselves
I think specs is taunting Esura. Dan would approve.
You are a joke who thinks “Character should be bad because CHARACTER SHOULD BE BAD”
Dan can still be a joke character with effective moves, plus a game based off taunting. Making him intentionally shitty is a waste of a character slot.
Sakyo Two Point OH!==Dan improvement thread
What can we think of to make our favorite Pink-clad warrior more of a formidable force?
Juggle into Ultra?
Faster overall?
Full-screen Gadoken? (Blasphemy!)
Let me know what you think!
Oh hell. Someone delete this. I looked through each page, but didn’t see the one at the bottom of the page.
The ability to combo into a cancellable normal from a cr.LP = A Tier
DO IT!
I’m thinking he should have at least one thing Ken/Ryu doesn’t have. Like either an air-grab or a wall-jump.
Maybe some kind of roll like Abel’s…
only BACKWARDS
Giving the best get-away game to a character with such formidable fireballs? Are you mad!
It will put the power of Saikyo back on top, where it belongs.
cr.LP xx Legendary Taunt xx Shissho Buraiken
It does work.
In that respect I offer a plausible solution. :pleased: Rekka roll taunts
:qcf:+:k: x3
1st roll into cr.taunt. builds some super meter.
2nd roll into st.taunt. builds good super meter.
3rd demon flips into j.taunt and lands with :tup: taunt. Builds more good super meter and drains some of foe’s super meter when he lands!
Ex. roll taunts have CvS properties, taunts get armor, Dan doesn’t build meter though.
Gado Glossy Autograph (never was really into it but if the followers of saikyo like it…)
:hcb:+:p:
add the aesthetics of a blue aura around the Autograph, let his ‘stop pose’ stuff FBs and give it Guile recovery.
I’d rather see a parody of the Haou Shikou Ken or Zanretsu Ken :chat:
Gadou Shoukouken
Small two handed FB. Grows at targeted zone. Can be charged 2-4 hits. looks like Focus attack after covering up.
lp 2/5 away, mp 3/5 away, hp 4/5 away, Ex 2/5~4/5 range and fully active on hit. Slow start up, slow moving, but recovery similar to Gouken.
Saikyo fury fist (needs a name)
Following a rapid vacuum punch combination ends similar to Ryu’s Focus on hit; recoils in pain on block.
