Dan (SSFIV)

Introduction

Dan Hibiki is a Hong Kong born Japanese native. After his father being killed by Sagat in a sparring accident, Dan vowed revenge. After challenging Sagat, where Sagat threw the match he began to try and spread his own style called Saikyo. Not being allowed in the second World Warrior tournament, Dan is taking every opporitunity in this tournament to take his style to the top.

Dan is the joke character of the series, meant to mock Ryo and Yuri Sakazaki, and Robert Garcia of the Art of Fighting series. Dan has bad normals but decent specials. In order to win with Dan you must have a solid knowledge of the game and his limits. His combos are limited to two in ones and some FADC combos.

Special Moves

Dan's Fireball. Range scales with punch power. Poor range in general, but pretty usefull for poking and combos. The EX version can be used to get your oppponent offguard in his wakeup.

• Koryuken - DP + P

Dan's Dragon Punch. Solid choice for anti-air. Medium and Hard versions have invincibility.

• Dankyaku - QCB + K

Dan's Air Kicks. Awesome move, can be used in end of combos and, if blocked, you can go for a throw. Weak version can be used to fake jump your opponent, you'll fool them a lot.

(Can be done in the air) (Armor Break Properties)

Super Move

• Legendary Taunt - QCF, QCF + HP + HK

Cancels into Ultra.

• Hissho Buraiken - QCF, QCF + P

Low range special, be sure to be close and hit confirm before using it. This move is a pun with Ryo's Ryuuko Ranbu.

(Armor Breaking Properties)

Ultra Move

• Shisho Buraiken - QCF, QCF + PPP

Dan gains invicibility for a brief time and rush into his opponent, delivering a quick sequence of moves and finishing into a koryuken. You can use this move as a counter to other characters ultra moves, but keep in mind that it wont work in certain cases. Refer to matchups in the future for more details.

• Haoh Gadouken - QCF, QCF + KKK

Dan's Gadouken with steroids. Devastating power. Or almost devastating, I guess. An awesome pun to Ryo's "Haoh Shoukoken". There are some good setup options for this move, such as DP > FADC > ULTRA.
