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.
