Marvel vs Capcom 2/Dan: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:09, 24 September 2023

Introduction

Dan Hibiki, master of the Saikyo Style, 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... but also not much higher than low tier at best. He does have some pretty good combos and hit-confirms, but they're often 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.

Command Normals

Universal Mechanics

Launcher
3HK //

+

Dan's universal launcher- like 2HP but more damaging for some reason

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
14	5	13	13	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Does slightly more damage than 2HP, so a little better.

Special Moves

Gadoken
236 + P // QCF+P //

+

Not much range for a fireball

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
12	-	-	-	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
This is less a projectile and more of a long-range normal, but it can beat other projectiles if timed

Koryuken
623 + P // F,D,DF+P //

+

Note the hitbox- Dan isn't invincible during this

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
14 (Light) / 16 (Heavy)	-	-	-	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Super	-	-	-
Normally, this move isn't invincible.

Dankuukyaku
214 + K // QCB+K //

+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
14 (Light) / 16 (3 hits total, Heavy)	-	-	-	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Air OK	Super	-	-	-
Now we're talking. The LP version bounces him up into the air a little bit, functioning something like

Premium Sign
236 + K // QCF+K //

+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
2 (holding out sign), 8/9 (projectile, depending on kick)	-	-	-	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Air OK	Super, Cancel on Whiff	-	-	-
Can be cancelled to super during its startup, so has potential for some mindgames.

Assists

Gadoken
A1 // A2

Assist A

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Pretty quick, but lacks range.

Koryuken
A1 // A2

Assist B

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Yes, this version is invincible every fourth time you use it, too.

Premium Sign
A1 // A2

Assist Y

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
9	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
It's got more range than a Gadoken, but pretty situational nonetheless.

Supers

Shinkuu Gadoken
236 + PP //

+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
45 (max)	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Level 1	-	-	-	-
It juggles on hit- useful for extending combos in the corner since you can launch afterward

Koryu Rekka
236 + KK //

+

Sort of like an off-brand version of Ryu's Shin Shoryuken

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
10 (first hit), 30 (second hit, OTG hit)	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Level 1	-	-	-	-
If you cancel into this from a sweep, you will land the second hit OTG.

Otoko Michi
5HP, 5LK, 4, 5LP, 5LP //

,

Glacially slow

Colossally damaging

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
100	-	-	-	Unblockable
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Grab, Level 3	-	-	-	-
Reduces Dan to 1 health point- but they take 100 damage in return! Very slow.

+* His special moves are OK sometimes, but they're either underpowered or they aren't used the same way that other shoto special moves are used. Gadoken lacks range, Koryuken isn't typically invincible, and Dankuukyaku is 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 amazing. They're the same as his specials, for better or worse. Anti-Air is probably your best bet.
+* His supers leave him pretty open if you miss them, meaning he needs to be sure before he throws that Otoko Michi
+* Otoko Michi is even slower than Akuma's Raging Demon is in this game, even if the reward is awesome
