Dan is capcom's joke character. While sharing certain normals with the shoto characters, he also has his own (usually inferior) versions of their normals. Dan is almost always considered bottom tier, due to his specials being either unsafe, hard to hit-confirm, slow, or all three. That said, his CC's and some supers are still quite damaging, so it is possible to win with him. He is also unquestionably the best taunter in the game.

Pros:

  • Has some good shoto normals like cr.hk, cr.mk, and dj.mk
  • Custom combos still do lots of damage if you can land them (as with almost all characters)
  • Top-tier taunts

Cons:

  • Fireballs have no range, uppercuts have no invincibility, and Dan kick is slower than tatsu
  • Many normals are useless, or do low damage
  • AC's are bad (literally has a taunt for his P alpha counter)
