Street fighters Dan hibiki-and the endless rage he causes me

Image hosted by Photobucket.com








dan..dan dan.. well what can i say about him. Well me being a SnK fan i have a lot to say !!
lol i recently found out (after some light research and playing old street fighters games)
that dan is an insulting ripp off of robert garcia and the other
charactereters in art of fightin/king of fighters that stufy the
kyokugen karate method.





now those of u who had played both kof and sf will nctice dispite the
numerouse and somtimes blatant similarites (copies) the fighting styles
are very differnt. for example not many people in kof have projectiles
that can travel from on end of the screen to the other yeah? except for
terry,iori,kyo etc.





in street fighter this is commen place with hadokens and kikou shens flying all over the place
enter dan. street fighter alpha and our pink gi wearing hero
*cough* apperes with the aim of vengeance in his eye, his mission is to
defeat the mighty sagat who killed his father Go hibiki .



playing as dan u will soonsee that he is arrgant and belives that his strengh is superhuman
his attitude is that that u want him to be beaten lol, and when u win u wish that u hadn't
his fighting style is a parody of the kyukugen fighting
style from snk but considerably weaker. his tinay hado ken or "gadou
ken" as he calls it fizzels out before it can even travel any where,
and his special moves involve sequences seen that are part of the other
characters normal moves.


in fact his ultimate move is a parody of one of akuma's moves.. his Otoko Michi is performed by doing the command for the Shun Goku Satsu in reverse. However, unlike the Shun Goku Satsu, which can take off more than half of the opponent's life bar, the Otoko Michi takes off a minimal amount of life from the opponent, but leaves Dan with only 1% of life.





pretty use less huh?





but wait there more, with the arrival of such games like capcom

vs snk, in which both capcom and snk charactacers were in one game (
gasp!! yeah i know!! crossover??!!?!!!!!) it seemed that snk had sold
thier prid and allowed the kyokugens to be made fun of even more. in
fact there is a running joke where dan is mistaken for for robert or
ryo.





also Dans father is a mock of Mr. Karate (takuma sakazaki) is seen in Dan's ending in SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium,
when he says: "What's so special about Ryo?! His dad wears a demon
mask, my father is a demon!" (implying that Go's face really looks like
a Tengu mask).





if u dudes got anything to say about dan jus drop me aline or better yet leave a comment



"kyokugen karate? i wrote the book!"
