sorry im newb here and on sf in general… its GET OFF ME DONK with spaces on xbl on psn im SO-DRUNK but i dont have my ps3 here currently
Sooo… I had no idea that HK Danku did more damage than EX Danku. That’s fucked up 
Oh yeah, that’s the price we pay for it being so good. Same reason why EX KRK does less damage than HP KRK too.
Idea:
For one week we have a discussion on a specific character and try to play mostly those characters. Next week we switch to another character after coming to a board consensus of what the match up is. I did this for smash bros a long time ago and its a similar idea to the Gouken player who came in here.
We could start with tougher matcch ups, or just go alphabetically.
I just had Dan’s air taunt beat vega’s airdives 2 times in a match. Pretty funny to hear the guy get angry.
Dhalsim is a character i have little to no problems with out side my fireball dodging skills are awful… anyone else know characters dan naturaly over powers with his awsome force!?
None, I’d be very surprised if he has a single 6-4 match-up in his favour but there are a few you can abuse Knee pressure with :bgrin:
dhalsim is good for Dan?? Wtf i dont even think its even. Can someone explain??
Dhalsim is just a horrible matchup. Stretchy arms after a fireball is a bitch…
So many ways to slip out.
^^ Yeah, I mean were decent when we finally get in…
but uh…how do we get in!!! haha. and of course, getting away for him is a LOT easier than getting in for us.
And shan gri lah is seriously annoying, now that I found it can grab you in the air.
Its not his prefered Ultra but its pretty funny.
Someone was telling me to FA the arms and block the fire, or vice versa. If he teleports, EX Koryuken or HK/EX Danku? Not sure.
Try to Focus the arms if you can, Focus the Yoga Fire and you’ll eat a stretch nut punch or something. If he teleports next to you you can simple jab him, only problem is when he’s doing it on your wake-up.
If you manage to sneak a jump in use Air Knee, should hop straight over his AA and smack him square in the face, then you can pressure him on wake-up until you push him into the corner where you try to keep him there for as long as possible.
Oh good shit Sugami. I’ve been focusing the Yoga Flames, instead of his arms. No wonder Dan can’t perform lately 
Gotta try that, once my sf hiatus is over. Need to hit training!
So how about a new matchup thread guys?
^^^Im down…like I said a page back, we should try to make a really detailed match up thread, with discussions on certain characters each week, or somethin shrug
Get close to them and then poke with gadoukens. Dan’s fireball recovers more quickly than most.
If they tend to use fireballs as pokes at close range you can try threatening focus just outside cr.mk and hope they throw out a fireball and give you a crumple. If not just backdash.
If it’s a fireball from far away just jump over it. Unless it’s Sagat with kara TU you’re not gonna get AA’d.
Focusing through fireballs is safer than jumping over them at close range. People will try to make you block afterwards so it’s a good time to do koryu FADC. If they let you recover then start doing danku strings.
Honestly Dan has trouble with fireball traps without ultra 1 but he can survive.
I’ve gotten the skeleton of the new matchup thread ready to go. Will post and start when I’m home.
