Dan has become a worthless except as a perfect example of Capcom's seeming inability to do anything but Flanderize their most prominent characters. Instead of being lovable and having redeeming qualities, Dan just keeps getting his joke-status upgraded again and again.

 

I'm hoping they prove me wrong...but I doubt it.

 

Man, I really really hope SF6 has a very new direction

I am very happy with what we saw today, also Oro looks great! What a nifty surprise!

 

Rose’s stage, the animation, her scarf effects, the Tarot card functions, Dan’s functions, I dig it. Overall the new presentation style is good. Dang, so new training stage and yes, Eleven is a bonus character, so 5th is still a mystery. Hmmm. Good work Capcom, keep it up!

Wasn't he deemed a failure? Why would they introduce a character like that unless they intend to flex the engine to the max and do crazy animations - but we got a bit of that with Seth.

That's what I'm curious about....though for the last couple of hours since the rumours started. I wondered if in a totally crazy, left-field decision it's part Charlie part Eleven in a post-ASF survival bit of weirdness or something. Otherwise, I'm thinking they had left over money somehow and made him as a true bonus and to say sorry about the delays?

I knew it's gonna be close to my previous request in SRK threads

 

Something like SFEX Extra Random Select, Marionette and Shadow from Vampire Savior.

 

because also the ransom-attack leak never shown any completed Eleven content.

 

Eleven ended up like what I'm expecting a random select feature, Not a real playable character. 


It also totally makes entirely a sense

Because Eleven doesn't show that it can fight like Twelve in some previous preview or could fight without the mimicking another character.

necroamp2.gif


Twelve gets the interesting features of Eleven and Necro (Elasticity). 

 

twelveaxe.gif

Twelve came late from the SF3 series(3rd strike)

 

Which technically makes the project where Necro is belong also did a contribution to  evolution of Twelve as a being.
 

It's lore wise that also show that your giving an advantage over an opponent and the match isn't to be viewed ordinary by spectators. Which is very good indicator.

 

In UI and UX design, It's something close to a diegetic UI as we call it.

 

The feature that Eleven wasn't made close to the likes Marionette or Shadow(DS3) is likely because of DLC character encounters that some players may had not purchased yet.

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
Not only did Capcom choose the best stage Rose has ever had (SFZ2) mixed with the best theme music Rose ever had (SFZ3, maybe the only theme actually better than those of the previous game); they even confirmed one of my suspicions about that stage in SFZ2.
We all know that Rose’s Genoa stage in SFZ2 and SFV is actually Venice with only few elements of the actual Genoa. One was Cristopher Columbus’ statue, the other was the ship.
I always suspected they wanted to refer either to the Santa Maria or to the Neptune, a galleon replica used in Roman Polański’s 1986 movie Pirates, indeed now docked in Genoa’s old port; but in SFZ2 it was too difficult to pinpoint her with any certainty.
Now Capcom pretty much confirmed the ship is in fact the Neptune.

Chun-Li to Dan: "Sorry. You were acting suspicious, so I kicked you. It's what I do."

 

Dan to Chun-Li: "C'mon, give it a rest, lady! What are you investigatin' me for?!

 

 

Thoughts: Okay, Chun's win quote to Dan is actually freaking funny. I think Chun might actually kick Dan for being annoying more than being suspicious. (Because Really, Dan suspicious?)  But her quote made me laugh.

 

Dan to Chun-Li's quote, sounds like he's just trying to get away from her because he can't escape from being the joke. Poor Dan, he can't escape any BS

 

(Dan is the only character to talk during his YOU WIN animation too)

Dan's pretty fun, here's a quick run down:

-Dan's story is simple but fun. He's moping around about no new students to himself, scares some school girls with his hilariously over the top faces as he finds the Blanka-chan dolls, decides he needs to captialize on this idea. Cracks the glass and runs off, Sakura chases him and they fight. After the fight Dan bums some cash from Sakura, then we get SF2 map screen as he flies to Brazil and fights Jimmy. There's some great little moments between Dan and Jimmy. Dan keeps saying they're both using Sakikyo style and calling Blanka-chan creepy, but Jimmy's getting a bit annoyed at that. Dan crafts and mas produces Saikyo boy dolls. The end. Goofy bit of fun

In arcade mode I fought Rashid on 2nd level, got here comes a new challenger with Sakura after.

Dan's final boss is G.

Quotes

Dan vs Ibuki: Stabbin' someone in the head with a kunai is not cool! That woulda been deadly for anyone else!

Dan vs Juri: Really leanin' hard into that psychopath shtick, huh? I'd dial it back a little, sister.

Dan vs Kolin: Your moves are freezin' cold...! Hey, y'know, the Saikyo Dojo needs an air conditioner...

Dan vs Charlie: Don't take this the wrong way, but you kinda look like a zombie. You okay?

Dan vs Vega: King of a borin' mask you got there, chief. If you want, I can get you a WAY cooler one!

Dan vs Sagat: Some emperor you are. Consider my father avenged!

Dan vs G: President of the World, huh? I'm Dan Hibiki of Saikyo fame! But you knew that already.

G vs Dan: It is no contradiction to say we can all the the strongest! I am here to prove that!

Dan's ending: he thinks he beat G, in his thought bubble we see all the bosses, Blanka and others training under G, but G totally beat him up in reality and says "That's quite the imagination you've got, citizen."

Very fitting, fun, and stupid. I love it.

"It begins with Dan walking around a neighborhood wondering why no one has shown interest in joining his dojo. With Saikyo-Style being the strongest, surely that would be enough to rope others in. Dan’s won a championship tournament and even appeared on a TV commercial. On top of all that, Saikyo is a super cool fighting style, has the self-proclaimed best master in the entire world, is well respected throughout the world, and the master is “extraordinarily handsome”.

 

His good looks is almost reinforced by one of the nearby girls. The other seems to think he’s creepy, with Dan admitting he can’t hide his creepiness. Neither of the girls were actually paying any attention to Dan, though. Both were focused on the dolls within the crane machine. Dan immediately recognized them to be mascot dolls of his good friend, Jimmy. Apparently when he wasn’t paying attention, Jimmy’s popularity exploded in Japan once he released his dolls there. Dan is shocked about this...while also cracking the crane machine’s glass with his face.

 

In that same moment, the frightened girls called for someone to get the weird guy away from the machine. Seeing that the crane machine was broken again, Sakura gives chase to Dan and eventually catches up to him. With Dan’s troublesome behavior, he’s lucky it was Sakura that caught up to him instead of the authorities. Dan tells Sakura it’s because of the doll he saw in the crane machine, which Sakura refers to as the “Blanka-chan” doll. The doll was pretty popular among teens for a while. Upon hearing this, Dan suddenly has a great idea….but he needs to borrow money from Sakura to get there. His destination is Brazil.

 

Once he comes across Blanka, the two have a quick sparring match before catching up. Blanka is impressed that Dan is still strong, but Dan assures him that their progress is because of Saikyo-Style. Blanka, of course, reminds Dan that he’s not a Saikyo-Style practitioner. Dan doesn’t seem to care either way. What he’s interested in is Jimmy’s overnight success with Blanka-chan. He’s still surprised that a creepy doll could be so popular, though Blanka disagrees on the creepy part.

 

Dan then decides to show his interesting looking creation: Saikyo-boy doll. This is his response to Blanka-chan. He’s already mass produced them in hopes of building up a following for Saikyo-Style. This upcoming mascot will be the next big thing in terms of winning over the hearts of the teens. Blanka shares Dan’s enthusiasm...aside from Dan’s proclamation that Saikyo-boy will undoubtedly become a hundred times more popular than the creepy Blanka-chan ever was.

 

Dan is determined to make Saikyo-boy doll a hit with teens across the world. Once Saikyo-boy is a hit, they can focus on making Saikyo-Style a hit as well. Blanka, again, has to remind Dan that he’s not Saikyo-Style, but Dan doesn’t consider that part a big deal. Why? Because Saikyo-Style is #1 in the world."

 

I really enjoyed Dan's story. It was lighthearted and fun.

Finally some new character content!.....and it's Dan. ...😒

 

Well his SFV ending is interesting enough. I'm sure that G was supposed to be an important boss character than what he currently is, hopefully this gets expanded upon in SF6 since this season is SFV's swansong.

 

Does Dan ever have an original idea of his own?  Now he's gone and copied Blanka's business idea.

RyoRedcyclone points out that, although Dan is generally written as a joke, he has some real ability: not only his fighting prowess was actually recognised by Gouken (he kicked Dan out, but that's another story), but, since SFZ3, he's also the official interpreter for Sakura in her journey around the world. He can speak Japanese, English, Cantonese, Thai and even a bit of French and Russian!

Honestly, and I've actually variations of this concept already, I would have humbled Dan and redeemed Sagat in one stroke. I would have had Sagat defeat Dan, not sandbag and let him win. Then, I would have Sagat extend his hand to him, apologize for killing father, and offer to train him and turn him into a serious fighter to honor his father. Dan would get to move past his stale joke character carnation and Sagat would have a second chance at a student after his failure with Adon.

I appreciate the complement. I try man. Writing is a hobby of mine. One of the first "serious" things I wrote was a Street Fighter fanfic as a teenager. It was something I posted on the long dead Vortex Gaming Online website. I wish I still had them. Dangers of the digital age, hard drive goes kaput and poof everything is gone. Between the two computers I have and my One Drive. I hope I don't have that issue again.

Dan can remain a joke but more in a positive way using it as a presentation instead of something of him being the bottom of every fighter that became playable in street fighter. Like many assumed into and would be turned into a misunderstanding of his character.

 

Him being dropped by Gouken is okay along with being a joke.

 

Why? 

  • Because it  doesn't anyone need to be a good student of Gouken to make them relevant as a fighter.
  • We got now Rival Schools, characters like Rufus, Birdie, Hugo, Poison, and tons of characters that are either self thought or learned fighting based on surrounding
  • Dan is one of those few fighters that have a direct experience with Gouken teachings and influences compare to other street fighters.
  • It’s a gag that is not formally address by Capcom and not straight up detailed and known in SF universe that everyone address it. Other than a selected few like Sakura, and Sean that both idolized the ansatsuken techniques of Ryu and Ken.

Why It makes no sense to compromise with the  outdated running gag that Dan is bottom tier of everyone else.

  • There is  nothing beneficial of it, The gag age poorly and contradictory to how Capcom tries to make his  gameplay viable in modern SF games than he was on ALPHA.
  • Because his not a PURPOSELY DESIGNED HANDICAP CHARACTER anymore and his very competitive nowadays.
  • Almost everyone that wants Dan, wants him to be playable while Capcom keeps on making him look interesting to play by giving him more interesting AOF like specials.
  • Being defeated by Dan modern Sf games is not considered to be a giving an advantage to the other player
  • It's a terrible game design to make recurring playable fighter to purposely play terrible because of the narrative that surround him. That's basically a waste of character slot.
  • Dan is never been an exact shoto clone with all the terrible shoto special version. Because his a parody of a character from another game that makes him a unique character in SF and not someone that impersonate the popular iconic characters in the game. (Sakura would have been more perfect for that role but the story made her relevant)

 

It would be interesting also that Dan would have a rivalry with Adon or can go into a stand with Adon, to remove the negative impression his character that is incapable of being an average fighter and an automatic bottom tier  of everyone, while still making him a joke for the following reasons:

 

How to keep Dan stay still a joke without the the poorly aged gag:

  • He considered himself along the best and he brags about it. So that should strongly remain along him being a parody. kinda self absorb and overconfident.  I don't know if his aware of his skills but that's the funny part. Making him overconfident not something as pretentious like Mr Satan that is a fake.
  • He has lot's of coward like animation, Yet his cowardliness is not the same as Mr Satan, His not someone that would push Sakura and Blanka to fight for his fight, His cowardliness is something that triggers after failing to realize his skill is not on-par to someone he is fighting in the current situation.
  • He cries and dedicate his victory to his father (his genuine with the tears) His the only fighter that show to be the HIGHLY emotional.
  • Sakura is able to make fun him without him being aware and realizing it.

 

 

So how to this about this?

 

156103190_113826060753309_67641729367855

 

He can stay to be judged as the worst ansatsuken practitioner by Sakura and Sean, but it doesn't need for him automatically meant to be the worst fighter that became playable in street fighter.

 

How to fix it

  • Sakura makes fun of DAN and sees Dan inferior. It’s because she manage to quickly copy the ansatsuken combat techniques. Not realizing Dan is not intentionally incorporating ansatsuken techniques and more concern to have some of his own style.
  • Dan being kicked out by Gouken, Makes him mixing and incorporating some of the techniques he seen in the last fight of his father(Fight Against Sagat) . As a way to compensate with his lack of stay in Gouken's Dojo and also to HONOR his father. That would be an interesting backstory that can easily be implemented to his character.
  • Sakura and Sean misjudge Dan terribly because they are a fan of Ryu and Ken, which they also claim as the standard of the ansatsuken.  So them seeing Dan combat techniques aren't very similar to those they idealized or up to their standard is not to be misinterpreted as Dan not a capable of being a average fighter.
  • Dan is just reference by Sakura and Sean as the worst existing student of Gouken because he was kicked out in Gouken’s dojo from were their idols came from, while the difference of Sean and Dan from Sakura is that they both had other influences not just from a Gouken Dojo.

I blame all of you guys and your Dan talk for this. I don't think I've ever been able to put one of these together so quickly. Latest SFVI concept. Dandan. (Yes that is areal Taiwanese girls name).

 

Spoiler

Name: Dandan Fan (Fan Danan)

Nickname: Savior of Saikyo

Sex: Female

Ethnicity: Taiwanese

Height: 5ft 8in (1.73m)

Weight: 130lbs (59kg)

B/W/H: 36-24-36 (92cm-61cm-92cm)

 

Hometown: Tainan, Taiwan

 

Appearance: Dandan is a tall woman with a slender build. Despite being 68in (1.73m) tall she has 37im (0.94m) long legs. Dandan has long black hair that is pulled back into a pony tail with loose bangs in the front. She has brown eyes. Dandan wears a short sleeve orange collared shirt with a black vest over top of it. She wears black leather gloves on her hands. Dandan wears a white skirt with black leather belt with a square silver colored buckle on her waist. She wears black stockings on her legs and has white leather dress shoes on her feet.

 

Occupation: Model/Martial Arts Instructor

Likes: Dan, Exotic Cars, Training, Driving Fast, Annoying Her Father

Dislikes: Traffic, Modeling (She only does it because her father hates it)

 

Fighting Style: Kan Saikyo no Kata (Perfect Strongest Style Form)

 

Tone: Dandan is an exuberant young woman. She loves to fight, but not to hurt people, for the sport.

 

Origins: Dandan is the daughter of Delun Fan the founder of tech giant VMT (Virtual Micro Technologies). Her father Delun and mother Daiyu tried to push Dandan towards traditional girls hobbies and interest. However, much to their chagrin, Dandan was quite the tomboy. She became of obsessed with martial arts films. Dandan constantly pestered her parents to let her learn martial arts. They were staunchly opposed.

     Delun and his wife saw an ad for Dan Hibiki's Saikyo Style dojo. He seemed to be fraud in their eyes. That's when they got the idea of letting Dandan train with him. With a less than stellar instructor, she'd certainly lose interest in martial arts. Their plan backfired. Dan's goofy and jovial natural kept her interest. As she studied under Dan she quickly began to realize the flaws in his techniques. The concepts behind them where sound but their execution were left a lot to be desired.

Dandan did not want to hurt her masters feelings. She wanted to help him. Dandan worked tirelessly to perfect her teaches incomplete techniques. In her time away from the Saikyo school she researched similar arts to her masters to figure where his techniques came up short. She then applied what she learned to the Saikyo style. As she continued to improve Dan was elated. His student was showing the power of Saikyo!

     As she grew older, he parents continued to try and pull her away from her favorite hobbies. Martial arts, racing, and sports made her happy. Training so vigorously in Saikyo made Dandan incredibly fit. Her long legs drew the attention of several modeling agencies. She continued to turn them down flat. When she saw how pleased this made her father, she started modeling just to spite him. While does not like it, modeling allowed her to make quite a bit of money. She had plenty of free time to train and no longer had to kowtow to her parents to get money. Dandan would use her income to fix up the Saikyo Dojo. Dan was surprisingly adept at business. She slowly pushed him away from teaching. Dandan would took over as lead instructor. Dan's personality was a perfect match for their ad campaign and Dandan's physical appearance drew in students too. Dandan would spend the next decade teaching and refining the techniques of Saikyo. She was finally confident enough to test Saikyo in a true fighting competition.

  • Saikyo Senpu is modeled after Robert Garcia's command heavy kick overhead.
  • Koen'Yoku is modeled after Yuri's En'Yoku (Flying Swallow Wing) flying butt attack

Yeah, The thing is the discourse thing is burying comments, there is no character thread anymore and I doubt that it would return even in when SF6 announced.
