Wow a 0-10 against Gouken? 
You need to get in his face more. Never back off and never give him full screen advantage. Be aggressive! 
You sir, are 100% correct.
-h
^^ I make that mistake too D:
good try hWnd. you probably did better than a lot of us.
i just started playing sf4 last week used dan for 98% of my fights so far, im very noob but i think im finally starting to get the basics down, i bought a arcade stick and ya ill get my cap card going anyone care to help me out ?? btw hWnd i have like 6 reps of you lol, big fan ^^
sorry for mass posting, new here any way i can get a list of some of dans basic combos⌠like after blocking low\high\jump ins etc also i dont understand how to âex focusâ and is that what FADC is ? i can go on for hours i think right now i just need practice, not even comfortable enough to taunt yet
Not sure if Danâs a great character to learn SFIV with (if youâve never played SF before). Just so you know, Danâs not meant to be a âlearningâ character. Thatâs Ryuâs job. Dan pays him to do that so you should make use of him.
Time to whore myself out, I made these videos especially for people like you ~> [media=youtube]gDYoYMV1-hw[/media] :bgrin: My video does assume you understand the basics of the game though, suggest you get comfortable with the basic execution and understand âthe lingoâ.
According to the system thereâs an âEX Focus Attackâ and an âEX Focus Cancelâ, the first involves using 2 bars of your Super meter to cancel a move into a Focus Attack by pressing MP+MK and releasing. The second is similar except instead of releasing the Focus Attack you cancel it by dashing, this is whatâs known as a Focus Attack Dash Cancel or FADC. While still holding MP+MK you double tap forwards or backwards to dash cancel. When most people FADC they instantly cancel the Focus Attack, thatâs basically done by just tapping MP+MK whilst double tapping in the direction you want to dash, e.g. to instantly FADC out of a Kouryuken you would do F D DF+P (Kouryuken) F+MP+MK F (FADC).
Learn c.hp x hk.Danku. It should come easier than breathing.
Sigh. Now that Dan has his H.Gado Iâm going to have to learn how to KRK x FADC reliably.
Iâm not 100% of my own opinion on this but I think for those with much patience he is one of the best to learn with. If you want to win his deficits force you to learn the spacing and footsies, the ins and outs of ALL of the match ups, which includes a grasp of frame data, be it instinctual or consciously studied, and you will develop the most complex and layered set of mind games possible from a very limited set of moves and options.
ok well, i played sf2 for snes still have it 
i was more of a mk trilogy player and ufc\mk armageddon ha, but ya i understand the basics and ive been working on the FADC well in games⌠im still no where near close to par i have like 2.4k grade points, add me on x-box if u want matches ill play like 30 at a time GET OFF ME DONK is name im on right now also
Hey guys, I recorded some of my matches in Super SF4. Here are some of my new Dan videos⌠I know, I play him like Ryu
vs Makoto [media=youtube]CXIDFnfxxpo[/media]
Using the down taunt to itâs fullest!!!
vs Abel [media=youtube]WtQ_Eec5EIs[/media]
I wanted to jump over his ultra, not into it
vs Ken [media=youtube]3IvadtKRjRg[/media]
vs Cody [media=youtube]LPkwtygmbno[/media]
LOL
Dan vs Sagat / Akuma / Guile [media=youtube]cpexYmKH2TI[/media]
the crouching taunt hit on focus crumple, odd it resets them though (maybe just a bit slow?).
Yeah, looked like he was delaying it so that it would hit them while they were falling to the ground. Doesnât look like Dan recovers in time to do anything with the reset. Would be awesome if he could do c.taunt then interrupt the opp with an uppercut. I wonder if any of his regular taunts hit the opponent now?
I was delaying the taunt to create a mixup. I did a little more checking with the taunt, and it does have a little bit of range. I bet itâs safe to do after a focus attack if you use max range.
Hereâs another cool thing I found with Dan
[media=youtube]K2ktbgNc-QE[/media]
Yeah we know about the plane wing smashing 
âHow does Dan fight Honda?â With great difficulty
Need help with dan vs blanka!
Who doesnât.
u wanna run some games?
Ask in the Strategies/Match up thread!
My strategy against Blanka is usually to dash back at the beginning of every round and start doing cr.lp. This has 2 benefits: avoids a blanka ball/slide mix up at the very beginning and lets you hit him out of the ball if he does do it.
From there, itâs simply a matter of getting close to Blanka. Either wait for him to do a ball towards you and cr.lp him out of it (needs decent timing) or just danku your way closer. Once you are in, try to knock him down (throw/krk/whatever), then apply Danâs wake-up shenanigans. I usually attempt a KRK->FADC because Blanka players tend to do the diagonal blanka ball on wake up but I also mix it up with grabs and cr.lk/cr.mk -> danku chains if he does the lightning (I donât know any of the names of his moves lol).
When Blanka has his ultra, try to bait it out of him by going in really close then do a FADC. If he does his ultra, do a second dash and pull out your ultra. As long as Blank is on the ground, you can hit him out of it with your own ultra or a krk if you donât have it.
