Saikyo-ryuu for Dummies: Dan Video Thread!

Saikyo Blanka is the coolest Blanka.

Trouble is, I suspect a lot more people will choose him when I choose Dan. So I will end up fighting more Blankas. My worst match.

Hibiki-san still is a master in Saikyo-pressure. I might be wrong, but I think he’s got a new combo for applying pressure. One that involves more gadoukens, linking them with LK. At least I don’t think I saw it before.

And I must also mention the Koryuken xx FADC xx crouching taunt that hits the opponent when falling. On Zangief it didn’t connect so I was a bit “what is he doing?”. Then I saw it working on the Dan vs Dan match and I understood. Quite awesome.

They won’t know you picked Dan until they picked a character, nor do I think they see your title and icon until the VS screen either so they can’t try to counter pick with that.

Since PKSkyler was talking about me landing a Legendary Taunt cancel on him, I feel obliged to share this new video now. It shows that no one is immune. :wink:

(yeah, my Super was meant to be my own Legendary Taunt there)

Oh shii~ you got out-Dan’d and out-taunted :rofl:

Impending double post, my video is still being uploaded and deserves it’s own post :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: Damn this shit has been “processing” forever, I don’t think it’ll ever finish :frowning:

I can’t win 'em all! But there’s no shame in posting losses when they pop up. :wink:

And yes, this post mainly exists so Sugami doesn’t have to double post…

I almost double posted just to spite you :stuck_out_tongue: Anyways youtube finally pulled their thumb out and the video has finished processing enough to be viewable.

Can ignore the crappy Ryu matches, round 2 of the Juri match I’m so stoked about, one knock down then mix-up city! :bgrin:

Was that just a random Dan you fought or is Butternator a friend of yours?

He seems advanced in the ways of Saikyo!

Well I don’t know who this guy is, but he seems [media=youtube]kitVJHdPwro#t=2m16s"[/media].

EDIT: Woops. The crappy customized youtube theme made me think it was one of his matches. It’s one of his favourited matches. Ibuki is played here by a guy named “Sako”. Still awesome, but not done by butternator.

I know of the guy, but that was just a random game in Ranked mode. He knows of me too, hence why he picked Dan for the game. :wink: But yes, he’s advanced in the ways of Saikyo. That game was a couple of weeks back, as you can tell from looking at my BP score, but since then he’s pushed on to B rank himself with Dan.

Heh, that match is my favorite replay so far. That was one of the first times I’d used him in Super as well, didn’t quite know the range and speed of his U2 yet. Thankfully, my several hundred hours of Saikyo experience in SF4 allowed me to pull through…though I’m pretty sure everybody wins in a Dan mirror match.

Hehe too true. Also your name/gamertag/whatever is hilarious :rofl:

Heh, it’s not really meant to be…It’s just my last name + ator. A stupid nickname from high school that stuck.

LOL that was nice, i lost it at the end with the cat. I like the mix up, def gonna help when i play dan against some friends!

Gotta love the cat :bgrin:

I am particularly fond of the Back Throw > MK Dankuu mix-ups, maybe a little too much :slight_smile:

For you Sugami, about the EX Gadoken to Haoh Gadoken.

Also a Makoto match against a friend who has VASTLY improved with Makoto since: [media=youtube]isHNjKQxPWo[/media]

I feel I should at least edit the first part cause I don’t like putting out names like that.

Not SSFIV but definitely related.

Another Dan SSF4 player I found on Youtube. He’s pretty decent too. Doesn’t go for major mindgames but plays it pretty calm and cool. Subscribe to his channel and get those SAIKYO views up, we need to support the Saikyo way!

I’m glad I found this thread, interesting vids. I wouldn’t say I main dan, but he’s definitely one of my more used characters haha

I had a few vids thought I’d throw them up, theyre nothing spectacular. At all. Dan takes care of the spectacularness himself though.

Sorry about the bad quality, I just hold a camera to TV since i dont have other methods.

Me vs Sagat
[media=youtube]6n5i2cxVH3g"[/media]
I kept that match because it finally hit me that dan was a viable character now

Me vs Chun (sound quality was horrible so I slapped an equally horrible song on)
[media=youtube]eG7IQEsCKdo"[/media]
Now, this one I kept because the Chun player pretty much had it in the bag, but I got super lucky, considering I threw a whiffed super. Ah, watch it and you’ll see what i mean. This is why only Dan is allowed to taunt lol

That Chun match was pretty funny, Hisshou Buraiken trading with Kikoushou FTLOLz. I’ve had a Blanka taunt me only to get an EX KRK in the face.

That Sagat was pretty horrible. Your game needs some work, saw you overshooting your jumps a lot and that just got you thrown. Should be looking to combo into Gadouken or Dankuu rather than light attacks. Few other things but since you’re not a hardcore Dan-man I’ll let you off :stuck_out_tongue:

I myself am a life long member of the saikyo dojo…I’d like to get a chance to get to play against some of you guys…I’m a 3000+ bp Dan and I’m lookin to get that saikyo blackbelt!!!
