Dan is also an underappreciated character. I've beaten more than just scrubs with him. A friend of mine who usually eats me for lunch at SFA3 gets COMPLETELY thrown off by my "yahooi! yahooi! yahooi!" *WHAM!* combo. The gadouken is the equivalent of a pie in the face. Throw it a couple times to show how pathetic the range is, then hit your opponent in the face with it anyway. The dankyukyaku is by far his most powerful asset, and functions as an anti-air, an easy 3 hit combo, and a good distance bridger. In capable hands, Dan simply owns in the worst possible way. You don't just beat your opponent, you HUMILIATE them.
Awesome to see someone else who respects Dan's power

be realistic, no powers
Sorry, nothing doing, realistic is just so...drab ;_;

Anyway, if I were in a 2D fighter, I'd be an all-around character. Equal speed, power, and defensive capabilities. I'd also have the flashiest moves this side of Kingdom Come.

I have no idea at all what to call the style

Here's an idea of what my special moves and supers would be like, heck, I'll even name the damn things:

Specials:

Super Nekketsu Punch: A rushing punch, with a slight bit of lag time if blocked. A small red burst of energy comes out right before the punch hits. Neutralizes other projectiles.

Akaei-ken: An upward attack where lightning shoots up in the shape of a sting ray. My anti-air attack.

Fart Attack: Exactly how it sounds. Different than Earthquake's since mine would be slightly faster.

Shin Splitter: A trip kick, followed by a stomp to the shin followed by a small fire explosion. Hits crouchers.

Overhead Punch: An overhead punch. It has to charge up a little bit before it hits, though. Hits low blockers.

Supers:

Muhahahahahaha: I do a kick to the stomach, then an uppercut to the forehead, then get on top of them punching them about 15 times before getting up and slamming them with my elbow (which causes a big explosion) Hits high, can be crouch blocked.

Uh-oh! The Death of a Mortal Enemy: I change into a samurai outfit instantly, then rush at the opponent. If I hit, then the screen goes black, shows a slash mark, and comes back with me in front of the opponent. The opponent at this time has a shoji screen in front of them. It then shatters, along with 30% of their lifebar. My slowest and least devastating super.

Oriyaaaaaaaaaa!: I become more powerful, but the newfound power takes a toll on my life Lasts for about 10 seconds.
