I love the theory that Dan's fighting style is the strongest in the entire canon, but it's held back by him not using it properly and sometimes accidently taps into it

@@BigYellowSilly So some day he's gonna perform the Shun Goku Satsu on say, I dunno, Gill, and he's gonna be like "Whoa...what did I drink last night?"

@@-Ryu this sounds funny as fuck

@@BigYellowSilly reminder that one time in the comics, Dan almost turbo-murdered Sakura and the only reason he didn't was because he accidentally tripped over her bag

@@-Ryu dan's win quote against oni: "Aaaahh! Goodbye cruel world! Wait a sec...You mean I won?"

I mean one of his alt costumes is literally references Mr Karate's Persona from Takuma and also the idle animation Dan does for both 4 and 5

That also makes sense considering it’s (as far as i know) the first instance of his copy of Ryo’s Zanretsuken

He doesn't need it. Dan would rather have Oro as a student then the other way around.

holy shit that didnt even cross my mind imagine SHIN DAN

What do you think about how Ryu looks like he’s cosplaying Oro? Is Ryu still taken or do you think Roo went to Oro for a bit?

Same dude its how i imagined him sounding

In MvCI he's Megaman but I just here Dan

@@coomcharger6105 Similarly; whenever I hear Thanos and Doctor Strange's voice in 'Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite', I always hear it as Sagat and Gill speaking - which is ironic when one remembers that Thanos willingly embraced the Satsui no Hado near the end of MvC:I's story, while Sagat rejected the temptation during his and Kage's Character Story in 'Street Fighter V'.

Nah, not even close to Katashi Ishizuka...

True.

Absolutely, I really enjoy how they've been balancing SFV lately, they haven't been afraid to experiment

@Bizarre The Abigail nerfs hurt pretty hard but I mostly understand them, I love Abigail but a pretty safe armoured move you could throw out for massive damage and oki was pretty wild. What they did to Gief was wack though, I can't believe he got nothing to compensate

I’ve been a gief main since launch, but with everything in season 5 I’ve basically fully moved over to Honda who was my secondary before

@@tomorourke6885 People sleep on Honda because hes a hard fight. Personally I love him, such a fun character

It reminds me of FADC Shoryu nerf

I love the idea of the team just having fun making an intentionally terrible character, shipping the game and suddenly realising Vega was worse

Honestly, making Vega bad is such an impressive feat they should be proud.

@@happycamperds9917 he had to pay for his crimes from ST don’t worry jin(tekken) did too and so did Kirby(Smash bros)

My favourite part of the collective MOUNTAIN of issues that Vega had in vanilla 4 is that sometimes if he leapt towards a wall he simply wouldn't grab it for no reason at all

@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN The wall was dirty and he didn't want that on his hands

Being driven by revenge is a bad thing, and Gouken was indeed right; in the comics he used Satsui no Hado for a moment, and was just about to use Shun Goku Satsu on Sakura…before pratfalling on Sakura’s bag, and getting knocked unconscious.

Even at his worst, Dan's always had this going for him. No one wanted to lose to Dan and sometimes it made them play worse lmao

@@BigYellowSilly seriously i love how he plays and just spacing out light Dan Kicks to catch the opponent pressing buttons is just too funny. Also made it a little game to land a focus, double back dash go into super taunt right into ultra just to hit them as they touch the ground. This was years after my local movie theater took away the MvC2 cabinet and I missed doing OTGs lol.

I used Dan a lot in the later years of SF4, late AE to Ultra. That was when I felt like even though he was bottom tier he wasn't downright the worst character in the game.

I was one of the higher ranked Dans on AE/Ultra SF4 on Xbox, and he was hilariously fun. He felt like a fun shoto without making me feel bad for playing an overrepresented character.

You are not alone I was a Dan main too

IIRC, Dan's Saikyo is based on like one lesson's worth of Gouken's Ansatsuken training before getting kicked out because his driving force was killing Sagat in revenge. Dan is apparently really good at imitating things he saw a singular time.

@@SuperLuigiKart64 It shows that Dan might’ve been even stronger if his goal wasn’t about revenge.

Dan’s Saikyo style accidentally seems to be similar of SOME OF THE STRONGEST fighters’s fighting style, his 1 hand Gadoken is also for the best fighters as well (for obvious reason), problem is, he skip about 3 steps, example being his raging demon, the soul killing intent. _And it can be stop by making trip on a backpack, alright....._

@@Predator20357 Actually yes

@@James-oj6ru his 1 handed gadoken does more damage than ryus two handed hadoken, Dans spirit power/potential is nuts

Takuma was so broken in howling blood lol (the gba kof. I really like kof lol)

Thanks for the input! Absorbing Ultra with focus is the saddest thing lmao

It's a minor thing, but Urien's Temporal Thunder was a V-Skill-enhanced attack in SF5 and became a Super in SF3.

I like to think Urien's moves in SFV becoming supers in SF3 is meant to signify him becoming more powerful and brutal. Like if you compare Urien's VT1 Aegis to his Super 3 Aegis, it looks absolutely massive to me. I feel that for all characters, their supers becoming V-skills, triggers, and EX moves, is meant to signify them becoming stronger, but the meaning is different between the classic and 3Series characters. Classic characters having their old supers become EX or VT moves signifies them becoming stronger and the move now requiring less effort to perform (I.e Ken's Shoryu Reppa becoming EX Shoryu, Chun's Kikosho becoming a VT, or Charlie's Sonic Break becoming EX boom), while for characters from the 3Series, it signifies them and their attacks becoming more powerful and gaining new abilities. (I.e Ryu's Denjin's stun capabilities, Urien's Aegis, Tyrant Pressure, and Temporal thunder becoming supers, or Alex's Stun Gun Headbutt causing full dizzy.) These are just my assumptions though. I doubt Capcom thinks this much about it.

Dude that attitude drives me insane, I've nothing against low tiers, but playing low tiers to fall back on when you lose is omega cringe

@@BigYellowSilly Bro YOU GET IT Main low tiers because you love them, not because they're a get out of jail free card when you lose

The classic dan option select

Ifkr

Thanks! I really appreciate that people enjoy these as much as I enjoy making them, they're fun to do

I'm not super familiar with Alpha but I'm willing to learn more about them to do vids on them for sure, there's some interesting stuff for sure

I think I can actually explain at least some of this despite not having touched _SFA3_ seriously in like 7 years. (Ugh.) My insomnia might be force for good for once if so. I imagine _SFA3_ Guile's biggest or at least main problem is that, simply put, he's just a (far) worse version of the _Alpha_ versions of Charlie Nash, including the _SFA3_ one. Before _SFV_ rolled around the two of them didn't differ that much outside of supers, so _SFA3_ Guile is stuck being _SFA3_ Charlie but with fewer & less useful moves and far worse damage. I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie's specials and even normals were overall better too even ignoring damage; Charlie's Flash Kick is probably better for V-ism stuff at least given it can hit multiple times. In fact, I am almost certain that _SFA3_ has the weakest version of Sonic Hurricane to ever exist *by far* given I remember that super doing absolutely garbage damage even at Lv. 3. This is a bit ironic since I am also almost certain that _SFA3_ is where Sonic Hurricane debuted. Speaking of damage issues, in _SFA3_ it's basically impossible for Guile to play his usual gameplan of "oppress people with Sonic Booms and murder them for jumping" between the existence of air-blocking and, more importantly, a very harsh anti-projectile mechanic that _SFA3_ has IIRC. When it comes to _SFA3_ and projectiles, the longer they take to hit a character, the less damage they do, and I don't recall most projectiles doing significant damage in that game to begin with normally. It's a bit funny how a single mechanic like in _SFA3_ or _SF3_ can still be more detrimental for projectiles as a whole than all of the dedicated anti-projectile moves and measures added to _SFV_ overall. There's probably more to it even if Guile isn't the weakest _SFA3_ character overall, which I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was. IIRC basically all of the console-only characters for _SFA3_ were trash though outside of like Evil Ryu, maybe Fei Long, and arguably Juni, who is at least interesting unlike her partner Juli, who is *easily* the blandest character in the entire game. (I'm ignoring Shin Akuma, who is clearly busted, and the four portable-only characters, who I know nothing about in _SFA3_ at least.)

I'd love to do the SFV bosses but I've found no way to play them, Giga Bowser will probably happen though

I completely missed that actually, plus light kick sounds like something from the Alpha series lmao. Still, really glad you enjoyed!

What reveal of it this tekken stuff is years old man

@@RiderOfPeppers yep I know but we'll never know if they suddenly decide on that, I'm still hoping for it.

probably by trying to come up with brand new, completely unique moves

I genuinely forgot that existed that's crazy, SF4 Champion Edition I think it was called

@@BigYellowSilly I just checked it on the App Store and their last bug fix was 2 months ago blew my mind

Every new game I always hold out that they release like "perfect Dan", Dan who has mastered his fighting style and is just a beast, with the joke being Dan is actually strong now.

@@2Eliishere Same. I’d say in SFV he’s strongest he’s actually been, outside of OSFIV. Just increase his damage output and made a few more moves special cancelable and I’d be happy. Oh, and give him a few of his unique moves back

@@2Eliishereso Mr. Karate II aka older Ryo Sakazaki

I'll make sure to check him out in SVC Chaos, I defo agree with a lot of that too, as cool as he is, there's a few things I don't like about Omega Dan, particularly the arc on Dan Kicks.

@@BigYellowSilly Omega Mode in gen has some changes Im not a huge fan of. But there was so much experimentation and the stuff thats good is really good which makes it one of my favorite SF games.

No you're right, it makes some of the trials interesting. There's definitely a Sagat one where I think it's a crouch mp after focus that whiffs if you don't delay slightly

@@glennguy6660 Phew, I’m not crazy. Thanks for the confirmation. Made Dan match-ups extra fun lol.

It is honestly quite hard, the best advice I can give is to hit punch a little earlier than you think you need to, that helped me

That's a very fair point I should've considered, I'll make sure to try this myself, thanks for sharing

I have 2 ideas for vids from reallyyyy weird obscure fighting games that'll hopefully happen sooner or later

WHAT

This is another one I really wanna do, I just need to become more familiar with the game

good video though! i like!
