Ok, confession time, my two-ish favorite characters in Street Fighter are both THE MEANING OF PAIN (and Oni by proxy, even tho I can't play him for shit) and DAN [THE MAN] HIBIKI. Both correlate to my personality. I don't like trolling but I like everyone joking around and having a fun time and Dan personifies that energy. He may be supposed to be a joke character but I just look at him as if he's a total bro. As for Akuma, I also love serious fights and respecting my opponent, especially if they can give me a good one. I usually don't care who wins in the end but I also love being edgy and being the "villain" in the fight, not because people would look it as cringy but because I get legitimate fun out of it. It's funny to me to ham it up and take on overly dramatic dark tones, even if it casues me to lose. I just enjoy it, that's all. xD
Your view on Dan is pretty accurate my dude. Dan’s just a bro who hypes himself up a bit too much. He’s still chill when he’s with his best bud Blanka or his student Sakura
Dan is supposed to be a joke character, but just look at his moveset, except for his DP, the flying kicks and jump HP, everything else are proper martial art techniques. Elite fighters also run like Dan's charge in their matches. I say he's a proper martial artist (unlike in KOF14, they made Ryo, who is supposed to be a Karate master, doing basic kihon like Gedan Barai wrong)
Yes, it is but it can and does happen. There are some GOOD usf 4 players that will absolutely destroy you with dan. Its the player skill over all else, and usf 4 really has a very high skill ceiling. I bet daigo or another legend could beat 99.5 percent of all players with any character.
