Saikyo-ryuu for Dummies: Dan Video Thread!

You are a hero among men.

The video above is the reason i don’t share info in this forum. DUR DUR DUR, look at me i picked Dan i’m trolling, DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

It’s also the reason Dan will never progress as a character.

you gotta admit the video is kinda funny. but I gotta agree its nothing but poor play on both sides.
I was trying to watch ur vids,really interested in tournament play Dan, but didnt get a chance because im at school.

hey booty clapper:

#9!

Aight booty, just watched your match vs arturo.

Let me just give you some constructive criticism. First off, the air dan knee wasnt really needed. When you jumped, you shoulda just done hk or not jumped at all if possible. Second, why pick Ultra 1? It sucks… Ultra two would have definantly helped your offense. 3rd, your strings were a little weak. Jab to knee and uncanceled cr.mp is kinda wack. 4th, definantly woulda thrown out more grabs and koryukens in your mix up game. Koryukens woulda helped alot, and you coulda canceled and done u2 if you had it… 5th, way too many wake up uppercuts. try blocking or backdashing instead. 6th, arutro did a lot of backdashes. plain hk dankuu woulda caught that. 7th, when you did jump in, it was mostly unseccusful due to what you followed up with. My suggestion would be to try and jump in with an mk or hk to crmk to ex dankuu.

Still all thats null and void in the midst of battle with tourney nerves and shit, lol. Good shit even getting far enough to play arturo.

Im going to my first major tourney on saturday. Wish me luck!

Did arturo play dhalsim? If so air knee has to be used or else its a clean anti air every time.

Is Arturo/Sabin the same people? he fought Sabin and Sabin used Rose.

Yeah arturo and sabin are the same person. Rose is just as bad for jump ins. If you air knee at the end of your jump arc against Rose, you can bait out her crouch heavy punch anti air and get a free knock down. Rose is a hard fight because dan can’t get in and roses back dash is RETARDLY FAST AND GODLIKE. Unlike dhalsim a regular jump in can still work, but Sabin is a solid player so your only hope during a jump is probably knee.

You can do a max range jump heavy kick; however you have no combo follow up. Mid range and Close jumps will get air thrown or crouch heavy punched. Rose is just as safe on her drills as your dankuu, and her projectile is much much better. Tough fight.

I definantly agree with all of that. however, booty didnt do the knee close to sabin’s face, he did it like max height. all it seemed to do was get him punished.
Yeah, sabin abused the backdash pretty well in that match.
I was thinking recently that rose is pretty much a better version of Dan T_T

No, rose is not a better version…it can’t be. You just have to be VERY patient

So you let “funnyish” videos be the reason why you don’t want to messiah the Dan community? You’re such a rebel.

Thing is, they aren’t even funny. It’s bad players doing stupid things and screaming “I’M TROLLING!” It would be much funnier if these videos contained actually things THAT COMBO or keep the opponent in block stun. Not j.rh to c.rh or jumping in with fierce and mashing DP.

Sharing information with someone the likes of yourself is like giving a Harvard scholarship to the kid who drools on himself and slams his head into the wall.

Not sure i understand the “rebel” part though.

rose is no where near like Dan, she’s a footsie character with good normals.

Just watched the vid, His knee in the air was about the right range for an anti air if she tried. You have to always remember Rose has that air grab srk thing to avoid as well. Some more mix ups would’ve been nice. I liked the frame traps but Rose’s back dash does not agree.

I play a serious Dan. Not necessarily a GOOD one but I do it seriously and I appreciate any input people might have.

Thing with fighting Art is that i played him a bit at SB. He kind of figured me out. Everything that worked previously he wouldn’t let me do. He wouldn’t throw out c.strong like he usually does. If he sees tatsu he’s gonna throw projectile, if i jump he’s gonna slide. From slide it’s a guess to either tech, backdash (both of us), wait for c.strong/c.fwd to drill or just block. He basically kept me at a bad distance for Dan because Dans far s.strong can stuff/trade/or just flat out beat her c.strong. Which is her go to normal. He didn’t want that obviously haha. Same goes for Dans s.short. He tries to throw out normals, whatever it is c.short, c.fwd, c.strong Dans s.short will most likely draw a counter hit. Not much to follow up from a s.short counter hit but dmg is dmg and he didn’t want to take any of it.

Any mistake i make he is getting full damage from it. He is just a hard person to fight. Not only that but he is really the only Rose that i play or have played against other then a couple of randoms here and there. My lack of play time on Super and just match up exp shows by how badly i played the match. Akuma was tight at me. =(

Well guess what - I find them funny. And so do others. As a matter of fact, you are the only one “irritated”. And the only one speaking down to people, for that matter.

Feel free to get down that ivory tower and enjoy a nice game with the rest of us.

Not sure why you quoted “irritated” seeing as how i never used that word.

But yea, it’s not funny to me because it’s not helping anyone. You and others wanna make these “trolling” videos go to eventhubs. They love your kind over there. I would like to see the character progress in terms of play. Isn’t that why people come to this site? God forbid that i am to be upset that the very little info here is misleading and or bad/wrong. There are a lot of us who want to get past the level that you are at. Which is nothing more then jumping aimlessly and mashing dp until your fingers bleed.

Those that want to talk shit about what i say and do find me at a tournament and put your money down. Nothing less then $20 for a ft3. I’m not hard to find.

Where did Sugami go? :frowning: I still need to get my game with Arturo up on Youtube.

Ahh I see. Yeah the commentators said you had experience, and it did look like u guys played before.
Far st.strong or cl.st strong beats rose’s c.strong? I didnt know that either way, and thats useful to know.
You have good knowledge of Dan’s normals, something I REALLY dont. I pretty much just use st and crouching mk randomly.

Uhm i think a lot of us are past THAT level, lmao. But yeah, I really want to improve too. Do you have any tips cuz im going to my first irl tourney saturday and its pretty big. 64 people and 16 man Pools.

Yeah, id love to see it! :tup:

Playing Art is just a mind fuck all together. I just watched it again and i did a lot of stuff wrong. Pretty much my entire game plan went right out the window haha.

But yea, standing and crouching fwd are both good moves. Good ways to keep your opponent in the corner at a safe distance. You can always whiff jab gadoken right in front of their face and follow up with far s.strong if they try to poke at you. Most likely you get the counter hit. The move has good start up and deceptive range. His s.short reminds of Iori’s s.B, meaning it hits low at a good distance. Can’t follow it up with anything but you can push and pressure characters like Rog to the corner with it because it has really good startup and is 0 on block. While Dan might not have many good normals the ones he does are fairly useful once you figure out how to apply them.

Right now I’m working on how to apply close s.rh as an AA. Close rh will stop all butt slams from Honda btw. If he gets the knockdown and tries to do it just tech it and do it as he is right above your head. Shuts that shit right down. Timing isn’t that tight but it’s best used if you practice it in training to understand how to do it right. The results i am getting from using close s.rh as an AA are mostly trades, but i THINk (not tested) they can be followed up by tatsu. Which might be a good trade if it can be done all the time.

Tinshi also taught me a couple of option selects and a trick to get a guaranteed ultra against Rufus every round. Save those for later though.
