Super Street Fighter IV AE/Dan

Dan

Dan's father, Go Hibiki, was murdered in a Street Fighting match by Sagat after Go has blinded Sagat in one eye. Swearing revenge, Dan sought after Sagat to avenge his father and end Sagat's life. When finally given the opportunity to fight Sagat, Sagat saw his own chase for revenge in Dan and, realizing its futility, allowed Dan to defeat him to assuage Dan's anger. Dan, since then, has determined he was the strongest warrior ever and opened up his own school to teach his "Saikyou" style. Though his school has yet to garner any voluntary students (Blanka and Sakura act as ones just to humor him), Dan is determined to perform well in the next Street Fighting tournament to spread his teachings wider.

In a nutshell

Dan's greatest power may be the illusion that Dan is supposed to be bad. In the history of Street Fighter, Dan has always been an extremely sub-par character, but this is definitely not true at all in Super Street Fighter IV. Do not sleep on Dan: he has an effective rush down that always leads to a guessing game. He actually has a very effective Dragon Punch! Dan is not free by any means. Winning with Dan oftentimes involves surprising your opponent, who believes they should be getting a free victory only to find out that, wait a sec... Dan is a legitimate fighter!!
