[[image:MvC2dan.png]]


MvC2 is an interesting game for Dan, as he isn't the worst character in the game. That being said, he's still not great. He does have some pretty good combos and hit-confirms, but they're very situational. If you want to play Dan to any serious effect, you need to learn to use his Dankūkyaku.
Dan Hibiki, the sensei of the legendary (his words, not mine) Saikyou-ryuu dojo, is ready to jump right into the mix in Marvel vs. Capcom 2! Like his other appearances, Dan is a deliberately underpowered character who uses a fighting style of his own creation. If you pick him up after playing Ryu or Ken, he might throw you off, because he just doesn't work the same way they do. He was trained for a short time by the same guy who trained those two, so he has modified versions of their moves in his kit. For example, he's got a fireball called the Gadoken, but it lacks range, making it behave more like a command normal than a projectile. He has a Shoryuken he calls the Koryuken, but it doesn't always have invincibility, making it better suited to use in combos rather than as a pure anti-air. MvC2 is an interesting game for Dan, as he isn't the worst character in the game. Depending on who you ask, he might not even be a bottom tier. That being said, he's still not great. He does have some pretty good combos and hit-confirms, but they're very situational. If you want to play Dan to any serious effect, you need to learn to use his Dankūkyaku, since it's just as useful here as it is in his other appearances.

== Special Moves ==
 
{{MvC3MoveListHeader}}
{{MoveListRow | Gadouken
| {{qcf}} + {{p}}
| 12 (both versions)
| Dan throws an energy ball which dissipates immediately. Functions a bit more like a long-ranged command normal than a Hadoken, but still OK in combos.
}}
}}
{{MoveListRow | Kouryuken
|content3=
| {{dp}} + {{p}}
{{Content Box|header=Assist Types|content=
| 16(LP)/18(HP)
;Type α - Projectile Type
| A dragon punch that lacks invincibility. This, combined with its lack of range, makes it more useful as a combo element than a reversal. However, it becomes fully invincible every 4th use, in which case Dan flashes white.
*Cross-Over Assist: {{lp}} Gadoken
*Cross-Over Counter: {{lp}} Gadoken
*Cross-Over Combination: Hyper Sentinel Force
;Type β - Anti-Air Type
*Cross-Over Assist: {{hp}} Koryuken
*Cross-Over Counter: {{hp}} Koryuken
*Cross-Over Combination: Koryu Rekka
;Type γ - Ground Type
*Cross-Over Assist: {{lk}} Premium Sign
*Cross-Over Counter: {{lk}} Premium Sign
*Cross-Over Combination: Hissho Buraiken
}}
}}
{{MoveListRow | Dankūkyaku
| {{qcb}} + {{k}}
| 14(LK)/16(HK)
| [[File:Airok.png]]Dan leaps forward and delivers a flying kick. Light version hits once, heavy hits three times. Both versions are useful to end combos with.
}}
}}
{{MoveListRow | Premium Sign
| {{qcf}} + {{k}}
| 2 (first hit), 8(LK)/9(HK)
| Dan writes your opponent an autograph and tosses it at them. Long startup and pitiful damage, but can be cancelled into any of Dan's supers before the move ends.

== Super Moves ==
{{2 Column Flex|flex1=6|flex2=4
|content1=
{{Content Box|content='''Dan''' is a comedic character who uses his self-taught fighting style to beat the brakes off the competition, Saikyou style. Though his moves are lacking compared to his inspirations in Ryu and Ken, he makes up for it somewhat by his overall decent damage and his terrifying level 3 super.
{{ProConTable
|pros=
* Quick and powerful, despite being a low tier- he lacks range, but he hits quite hard when he gets in
* Otoko Michi is an insane level 3 super- a suicide attack that renders his health critical in exchange for a whopping 100 points of damage to your opponent is one hell of a trump card for a joke character
* Some of his moves can be cancelled even on whiff, including Premium Sign and his Legendary Taunt. These moves are pretty good for conditioning your opponent to act in a particular way as a result.
* Legendary Taunt can be used to throw the opponent off- Dan can let one of his teammates jump in with a DHC at any point while he's performing it
* Though they pale in comparison to other shotos' specials, his Gadoken and Koryuken are still quite serviceable. Gadoken can be used to defend against an opponent's fireball and does respectable damage on hit, and Koryuken can easily link from one of his normals for some more damage.
* Dankuukyaku is slower than Tatsu, but is still a great move to have. Both versions can be used for combos, or for some limited air mobility
* If taunting mattered in this game's meta, he'd be the fifth of the Four Gods- he's got a super taunt, for God's sake!
|cons=
 
* Air mobility is sort of there, but it's not great- about all he's got is his Dankuukyaku, which can only help him so much against some of the nonsense that happens at a high level in this game.
* He takes slightly more damage than most of the cast- about 13% more, putting him in the same defense tier as Psylocke
* His special moves are OK, but they're either underpowered or they aren't used the same way that other shoto special moves are used. Gadoken lacks range, Koryuken is only invincible every four uses, and the Dankuukyaku is slightly slower than the other shotos' Tatsus.
* Like the other shotos, he struggles against hard zoning. He's gonna suffer if he has to fight Sentinel, for example
* His assists aren't great. A and B do good damage and Y can be used as a niche combo extender, but Dan is better off having someone support him than the other way around
* His supers leave him pretty open if you miss them, meaning he needs to be sure before he throws that Otoko Michi or Hissho Buraiken
* Otoko Michi is even slower than Akuma's Raging Demon is in this game, even if the reward is awesome

Introduction

Dan Hibiki, the sensei of the legendary (his words, not mine) Saikyou-ryuu dojo, is ready to jump right into the mix in Marvel vs. Capcom 2! Like his other appearances, Dan is a deliberately underpowered character who uses a fighting style of his own creation. If you pick him up after playing Ryu or Ken, he might throw you off, because he just doesn't work the same way they do. He was trained for a short time by the same guy who trained those two, so he has modified versions of their moves in his kit. For example, he's got a fireball called the Gadoken, but it lacks range, making it behave more like a command normal than a projectile. He has a Shoryuken he calls the Koryuken, but it doesn't always have invincibility, making it better suited to use in combos rather than as a pure anti-air. MvC2 is an interesting game for Dan, as he isn't the worst character in the game. Depending on who you ask, he might not even be a bottom tier. That being said, he's still not great. He does have some pretty good combos and hit-confirms, but they're very situational. If you want to play Dan to any serious effect, you need to learn to use his Dankūkyaku, since it's just as useful here as it is in his other appearances.

Dan is a comedic character who uses his self-taught fighting style to beat the brakes off the competition, Saikyou style. Though his moves are lacking compared to his inspirations in Ryu and Ken, he makes up for it somewhat by his overall decent damage and his terrifying level 3 super.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Quick and powerful, despite being a low tier- he lacks range, but he hits quite hard when he gets in
  • Otoko Michi is an insane level 3 super- a suicide attack that renders his health critical in exchange for a whopping 100 points of damage to your opponent is one hell of a trump card for a joke character
  • Some of his moves can be cancelled even on whiff, including Premium Sign and his Legendary Taunt. These moves are pretty good for conditioning your opponent to act in a particular way as a result.
  • Legendary Taunt can be used to throw the opponent off- Dan can let one of his teammates jump in with a DHC at any point while he's performing it
  • Though they pale in comparison to other shotos' specials, his Gadoken and Koryuken are still quite serviceable. Gadoken can be used to defend against an opponent's fireball and does respectable damage on hit, and Koryuken can easily link from one of his normals for some more damage.
  • Dankuukyaku is slower than Tatsu, but is still a great move to have. Both versions can be used for combos, or for some limited air mobility
  • If taunting mattered in this game's meta, he'd be the fifth of the Four Gods- he's got a super taunt, for God's sake!
  • Air mobility is sort of there, but it's not great- about all he's got is his Dankuukyaku, which can only help him so much against some of the nonsense that happens at a high level in this game.
  • He takes slightly more damage than most of the cast- about 13% more, putting him in the same defense tier as Psylocke
  • His special moves are OK, but they're either underpowered or they aren't used the same way that other shoto special moves are used. Gadoken lacks range, Koryuken is only invincible every four uses, and the Dankuukyaku is slightly slower than the other shotos' Tatsus.
  • Like the other shotos, he struggles against hard zoning. He's gonna suffer if he has to fight Sentinel, for example
  • His assists aren't great. A and B do good damage and Y can be used as a niche combo extender, but Dan is better off having someone support him than the other way around
  • His supers leave him pretty open if you miss them, meaning he needs to be sure before he throws that Otoko Michi or Hissho Buraiken
  • Otoko Michi is even slower than Akuma's Raging Demon is in this game, even if the reward is awesome
