you have to have the personality to play dan.
notice you dont see many dan videos where the players spam uppercuts… even though we have the same uppercuts as ken?
mentality
so yes, you have to play another way and use reputation and anger to your advantage.
I got a new vid uploaded on PSN, vs a Rog. So I guess if anyone needs help vs Rog, thats how you play him, I guess. I am still not a proficient at the rog matchup, so baiting head butts was my only real strategy. He was spamming me with invites after I won for a rematch, I suppose losing to Dan really struck his core.
Oh and he probably broke his stick in two, on the round one closer. I had him dizzied for the finish on Round2, i didnt know how fast he could mash and I dont want to risk shit vs Rog, so shame on me for not taunting before I finished him off with the Ultra.
At the close of round 1 I had a gut feeling if I jumped at him, he was coming at me with a punch when I landed (I was a chip away from death), so it was all or nothing, i was blasting that ultra off no matter what, fortunately I guessed right.
Dantics continue!

definitely added some tools from your last match. The obvious item i think you need to continue to work on is, execution following your focus attacks. I notice you remain stationary. I generally always dash forward folling a focus for a crumble, to go into a cr. HP >hk danku. for example the last focus attack you connected with in round 1 vs ryu, you could have ended the round right there (unless you just wanted time to taunt, which is acceptable)
You can almost see the person behind the joystick on the Ken there just get more and more angered by the Dantics. It’s beautiful how you keep throwing people off their game through the power of Saikyo.
Seriously. Round 1: your opponent is executing beautifully, and you only get a few punishments in. Round 2 & 3, you find your Saikyo groove, get the taunts in and start connecting more, and he just throws completely random Ultras and Supers, which end up getting punished.
It’s almost as beautiful as when you turned a normal Ken into Flowchart Ken.
lol yeah the best part was when you fake him out of the Ultra in Round 3 and the proceed to throw Gadoukens at him from across the screen XD
I lol’d
Its funny, there are some players I play that just throw punishable crap out at random, alot. and I think to myself, your game would improve ten fold if you just didnt do that.
I am actually quite decent on Abel.you can check my abel series and videos.
I pretty much jus kept beating shotokans and taunting them until they made the same mistakes over and over again and punishing them… and then taunting.
But people kept telling me I would be more entertaining playing dan.
Dan has more taunts and throws peopel off the game to NERD RAGE on you. but dosent have anything like abel where you can run thru fireball and FInish the match… or can you?
His ultra. It also passes through other ultras started after his.
Hey guys i want to put up some of my Dan vids, to help me improve and what not. I have fraps, i can record however when i watch the video back the sound is out of synch, what gives, should i use another tool other than fraps?
Im not sure ive never had that issue. One thing you can do, I know there is a freeware utility that allows you to record to mp3 whatever sound is your computer is playing, you could do that then use windows movie maker to sync the mp3 to the right spot. But the sound doesnt have to sync for us to help you out.
Its ok i think i figured it out myself. I’ll get recording some matches.
I hope to take you up on your offer TSD when you get it for the PC, i adore your Dan along with this guy, who is blatantly just the best dan player ever.
is that Hibiki-san?
Hey guys, just wanted to contribute my first dan video to the thread. Its low level play so don’t expect anything impressive, i did however beat someone with more points than me, which is good as i lose almost every game at g2 level.
I will post some video’s where i lose soon so people can help me improve.
For some reason every game i forget about focus attack.

It is pretty awesome looking. I wish it didn’t use up your entire super bar. I really like the super taunt into Ultra set ups, but it is so damn hard to not use your ex moves. Dans need to be doing tricks like that though. In the words of Dan from SFA3 “Anyone can fight… But no one can show off like I can!”
I did some testing just now of that FA > Legendary Taunt cancel > Ultra cancel, and it only seemed to work for me if I started the FA right before the attack hit, which means I needed to be buffering the motions for the Legendary Taunt in advance. The video above hid that by having Ryu do a c.MK before his Hadoken, so the buffering is hidden by the blockstun.
Just some advice for people who want to try that out themselves. Hold off the FA until the last moment, and be buffering the Legendary Taunt motions, so that you can hit FA and then immediately hit Taunt to absorb and cancel.
Interesting trick. Seems like it would be hard to pull off in the heat of the moment though.
