I think healing should be Elena’s VT and be 3 bars. I think if it were her super it would have to be good and this is something that shouldn’t be that good. Besides, nobody is wasting a full super bar for 100 health just because they don’t have the space or is too afraid to not cancel it to avoid possibly losing more life than they gained.
So it can just work like it did in SF4, except she doesn’t get focus absorbs to build it up quickly and she gets maybe 200-250 max life back. Most of the time that means 1 activation with 2 on rare occasions. And I’d be OK with that even though I know it will still be pretty annoying to deal with.
The more I think about it the more I’d welcome Dan in SFV. This game is so fucking serious all the time. Commentators might have a laugh here and there but players usually walk away from the screen as if they just saw their their entire family die in a plane crash – sometimes even after they won. Having a somewhat decent Dan in there just to lighten the spirits would be cool.
If they make him crap tier. Then it’s not exactly good for both players. Youll never win anything with dan a bit like you never do with fang. The crowd will back you when you use the character and the loser that lost against dan will be walking away from the match humiliated.
If he’s top tier, then he’s no longer dan. And everyone will hate him like they do guile and cammy. But the likeliness of that happening is low, the last capcom released a top tier character was menat.
We don’t get FM in Survival anymore? I used to complete it on easy whenever a new character came along. I think it was 5000 on easy and 10,000 on normal.
So there’s next to no point in survival anymore. Each level-up gives like three cents in fight money… Now Capcom is offering FM for the time we’re logged in on the server, it’s been a lot of dicking around I think…
Dan is perfect for the season: all the goofiness, shotoness and bottom tierness concentrated into a single character so everyone else can be good, unique and not laughable in a pathetic way.
It really all depends on what capcom wants to do with dan. Remember when people said mika was a waste of a character slot… then she made evo finals and had to be nerfed…
Lets be real, if dan makes it in he will probably suck. But there is always the possibility that capcom makes him good or decent or very good.
Imagine his low range fireball starts up fast, is -2 on block and the ex version is plus on block and moves him forward. Imagine his tatsu is + on block… shit could happen… they could give him a command grab and call him shin danko…
I mean he will probably be a waste of a character slot like always, but you never know, sf5 breaks streetfighter conventions regularly.
I expect him to be bad (not that he’s going to be in to begin with). Mika only had one game ever so there was a little bit of room for her to be reimagined into a great character.
Dan is like Shingo Yabuki where he’s designed to be a klutz version of a serious, legitimate character and therefore always ends up with whack tools compared to the real character(s). They have to make Dan bad to play to what he is which is a character that makes fun of SNK characters that “ripped off” Capcom characters. In each game they try to make his Ryoku Ranbu super more ridiculous to play on making fun of the 90 hit SNK DMs. Even in his story he’s played to be a super underdog character that trains people under a style that no one takes seriously. It would be completely out of character and legacy for him to somehow be this beast that can compete with Guile and Menat.
Even in 2 crossover games with no real serious story to them they still made sure he wasn’t worth playing in either. If Mika was in 6 different games she would have had a decent one eventually. Dan is supposed to be bad because bad.
Yeah and command grabs start up in 1 frame, specials chip kill, dp is invincible for no meter, most normals are plus on block and most knockdowns are hard…
This is sf5. Nothing is sacred.
Dan gonna come out of saikyo dojo holding akumas head with his backstory being that he needed to take years of clown abuse and getting pissed on before his true power emerged…
Dont believe it? Watch kung fu hustle. Dan will bring out the hand of god to smack fools around like his name was chairman netero.
Or he will suck like always. Anywho, i hope hes not in. I hate the character. I just want necro. Thats all.
I think Dan surpasses any of the changes that have come to SFV. He kinda fits into how Gief is still Grief and Ryu traditionally gets outclassed by other characters and shotos the longer a SF game goes on. Dan should be 98 percent expected to be bad if he somehow makes V, except now you’ll have to pay money/FM for a character you know is gonna be bad.
The fact that he’s a bad shoto in a game where only one shoto is very tournament viable means he’s already starting bad before they add in the purposeful bad stuff.
