Here we are with the latest installment of this series! Since Dan's been in the news lately with the SFV season V announcements, I figure its a great enough time to showcase what he's been all about! I will say that while Dan might think SNK is a pretty silly company, I think they are a pretty cool company :) *edit* boo boo in the video, Capcom actually lost the lawsuit against Data east, I guess I was remembering in my personal court of moral opinion cause Data east was 100% guilty of what was being thrown at them heh.
Dan being a parody of one of my favourite SNK characters, Ryo, makes him even better.
rooflemonger why do you hate ken
@@shadowking2153 cause hes a nerd and not pure like ryu
As goofy and silly as his character is, Dan's story is actually compelling.
You know, I know it'll never happen, but it would be interesting to play as his father just once. Like, a better, more mechanically interesting Dan Hibiki would be interesting to see in this game.
I totally agree, and in many ways such a relatable character
@maximcaleb omg yes this needs to happen!!
I wish you had mentioned that Dan once used the Raging Demon, Akuma's signature move, but tripped before it landed
This was in the comics right? Heard that one from my friend before
I love Dan story, makes me wish they made him stronger every game showing how he develops his own style
You got your wish.
@@Emery101 really?! Where?!
@@chisbeybe6721 street fighter 5 :)
@@spiderhulk26 its kinda sad that he's still on the bottom tier even though he's actually good in sf5
@@lordyamcha5505 yeah . But I don't think he is bottom tier in street fighter 5 . Like you said he is pretty good :)
We also gotta talk about in the SvC games Ryo and Dan get mad at each other because they think the other is ripping off their style
It's like seeing James Bond and Austin Powers butting heads for ruining each other's images.
Also everyone confusing Dan for Robert
Make no mistake, people choosing Dan in fightcade games are no joke.
That says: prepare for an asswhoopin. However he has a charm that makes people laugh instead of rage and get salty when theyre beaten.
I came here to say something similar. Dan was the guy you chose to handicap yourself against others to make it more of a challenge. He was fun to use against cocky players.
One little known fact, Dan hibiki also has Yuri's winning Victory pose and says "Yeah yuutsu!❤" just like her Art of fighting/King of Fighters days.
In Sf4, Dan also has a alt. costume where he wears a Tengu mask referencing Ryo's father's alter ego "Mr.Karate".
By the way...
Yuri was
Also the amalgamation of SF character moves
And Yuri got so pissed at Dan's existence she stole all of the shotos' signature moves
If I remember correctly, the SNK connection came full circle in SVC Chaos where SNK made him pretty strong
Oyajiii ... ( BOOM ! )
Dan and Blanka are basically like the Mr. Satan and Majin Buu of Street Fighter
"I hate the art of fighting,
but I wanna be the king of fighters!"
So you want to unleash your "fatal fury " on them
@@blackstarafro2 Preferably on the ‘Streets of Rage’.
@@blackstarafro2
Only on the "final fight"
@@HillVillageDragon at times it is about your "breakers revenge"
@@DaigoParry hopefully you and the "world heros" will make it in time
I thought that Saikyo Ryu was a jab at Ryo and Robert's Kyokogenryu (which I've seen translated as "Extreme Style"), and Dan's revenge story ripped on Terry's revenge on Geese. Dan is just too deep with parody!
It doesn't stop there. He even plagiarizes his best amigo Blanka, in his SFV storymode.
And here I always thought Dan was a parody/spoof of Steven Seagal lol
Steven Seagal is one of them,
because of the way Dan's face looks.
Since Robert is inspired in Seagal, he kinda is (?)
@@WikiHL
Robert is also modeled after Andy Garcia from The Godfather: Part III as well as Thomas Ian Griffith from The Karate Kid: Part III.
Dan on the other hand is a parody of Ryo and Robert in general, but also has the face and out-of-shape physique of Steven Seagal.
Steven Seagal is a spoof on actual martial artists. Hahaha
Not exactly ken.
Capcom lost their lawsuit against Data East.
Wait what, just googled it and yeah its right but in my mind I remembered it the other way around woops. Data east 100% was ripping off street fighter blatantly so maybe I just remembered in the court of moral opinion instead lol
@@carlosaugusto9821 yes, for me, that's literally what I just said
Bro, the same guy that made Ryu in Capcom made Ryo in SnK. This is just marketing. But I love this love n hate relationship between ex-employees. Same happened with Rockman and Mighty Number 9. inafune who created megaman's design, left Capcom and made his own character without right problems. He failed, but Capcom employees copied what's interesting in that game and pasted it over Rockman/Megaman 11. Funny and sad at the same time.
Maybe I missed it in the video but the creator of Street Fighter made Art of Fighting. You can't steal from yourself. But both styles are based off the real life Kyokushin style founded by a man hated in Japan for being Korean. Mr Karate is based off him. Gouken somewhat too.
Yes this comment needs to be seen since this is facts
Thank you, 👍 you are correct, the narrator of the vid seems to be a lil too much of a SF fan or is unintentionally misinforming, who knows.
And it seems you all are a bit too much of SNK fans, since Nishiyama created Fatal Fury, and only worked on Art of Fighting, but he himself didn't create it.
I was told, maybe incorrectly, that SNK and Capcom had employees that used to work for the rival company. One of the reasons CVS/SVC happened is they actually knew each other. The SVC games were practically flagship titles for the Neo Geo Pocket Color!
Also, while Dan is making fun of Ryo and Robert's fighting style, you need to look back to the original Art of Fighting. It was a rather innovative yet rough playing title, but the main thing would be the Spirit meter. All specials plus supers and desperation attacks (firsts in the genre IIRC) drew from this limited resource. As you kept using them you would see the attacks getting worse, even losing access to moves if you didn't have enough Spirit. You could recharge it but it made you vulnerable. It came back on it's own slowly. And being taunted would cause you to lose it too.
Ryo and Robert's fireballs, at no Spirit, extended out maybe past their hands. Dan copies this perfectly. Dan's LK Dankyaku mirrors their no Spirit kick decently (it's better IMO). Stuff like that.
I propose Dan was Capcom having a good natured joke at their friends over at SNK, not a middle finger. Again, based on my understanding of the history. And really, he's a well needed joke. We used to take ourselves too seriously at times :)
Plus remember: artists like things their fans don't or head cannon as rivals. My favorite being Rob Zombie liking Babymetal :)
The people who own street fight don't own arr of fighting.
If I connect in a jump kick in the corner with Dan.... It's over.
You probably already know this, but Dan is now the official MC of Street Fighter V shop section. I just recently started working as quality assurance for Capcom Japan, and we are still tune fining his “Summary” dialogues for shop items such as alternate costumes, alternate colors, stage descriptions and BGM’s.
His lines are hilarious.
he is considered mid to high tier now in sfv 👀💦
Cool factoid about Dan is that he first appeared as a bonus character in Alpha 1 but despite being a joke, his alpha move actually had the most damage of anyone in the game and appeared to influence Ken's own Alpha moves in subsequent games!
As silly as the character is, he’s one badass fighter in the hands of good players. S class
Dan The Man Hibiki
Nuff said
I hope Dan has a short hop in SFV. Ya know, just as another jab at SNK.
short hop would be super crazy busted in SF heh
Your wish is granted
And what do you know, now he has feint canceling like In Garou: Mark of the Wolves, another SNK game
What a champion.
the director of Art of Fighting also worked at Capcom and helped make Street Fighter 1 as a designer and planner.
The super taunt in SF4 actually did have two uses. There was a combo that required it to cancel into Ultra to make the ultra connect. Plus you could use the super taunt to bait out an attack and cancel into ultra for the punish
Describing SNK fighting games as being Street Fighter clones is not super accurate, given that one of SF's original creators Takashi Nishiyama went to SNK. Art of Fighting is more like a successor to SF... Top Hat Gaming Man has a great video on this.
AoF absolutely had its own stuff, but at it would have never existed without SF2 and you just need to look at Ryo to understand how much they are taking from the source material. I love SNK to death but its obvious enough.
He also made a commercial about going to his dojo but he forgot to put the address in it's commercial that's why he doesn't have many students. He is his own worst enemy.
I love this series! I was pretty excited earlier when I saw that you not only made a new video in the series, but that it was Dan! Couldn’t wait to watch it after I got home from work!
Dan is unironically one of the key reasons I really got into Fighting games. I mained him in SF4 just because of how much of a joke he was, then a while later, I got CvS2 on my PS3, which is how I found out about him being a knock off of Ryo, which made me learn more about Ryo, along side the rest of SNK, and the rest is history. Just putting this out there, 'cause I'll always love seeing Dan get some attention.
Hey thats a pretty solid journey, hope you look forward to dan re-appearing come SFV season 5
man, we heard that KoF 14 Iori theme so often now, you HAVE to make one of him already.
When KoF 15 finally becomes a real thing I will. I actually originally tried to use dans themes for this video but never of them jive with talking very well
Dan as he stands.
That rhymes. 😆
I always kinda knew Dan's an amalgamation of Ryo and Robert back then though I didn't knew it was intentional until later. Makes me think their stories in Capcom Vs. SNK. Also yes, despite Dan's goofiness he does have a good back story. And in the hands of a good player, Dan can be a cool fighter.
Hey now, super taunt is a very important part of dans toolkit. It lets him cancel into ultra lolol
I say this everytime for these vids, but since they so outside the usual wheelhouse I deal in if you wanna like/share etc with all the usual metrics that help youtube videos out please do! The algorithm tends not to favour things you do once you establish whats "normal" for a channel, so that would help out a ton!
bump
The fact you used a theme (more specifically, Iori's Team theme) from King of Fighters XIV is legendary.
Amazing video, would love to see more videos like this!
Why is Dan's story low-key fucking cool? Like dude, who doesn't just need a win every now and then (Good guy Sagat).
this is probably my favorite video you have made. I dont even play street fighter but this kinda cool.
I kind of wish you'd covered Dan's meetings with his inspirations in the crossover games (CvS/SvC). Good video though.
And even years later, the SNK references do. Not. STOP. His whole character is built to be a parody, and it will not stop every time he makes his return.
Makes me wonder how SNK’s revival and a potential Garou sequel will factor more into Dan’s, well, EVERYTHING 😬
SNK continued to play along by using Yuri to continuously parody the shotos over the years.
The Funniest SF char.
Ever
Cool vid. I was well aware of circumstance behind Dan's creation, but never really knew it went that deep (I was never really into SNK games).
Also, I enjoy when fighting games have lore and characters have an actual history that continues through multiple games.
You make really good videos man, one of the best quiality here in youube nowadays
Keep it up i enjoy them so much
Thank you very much friend I appreciate the kind words!
the king of strong style himself, hell yeah
i can't believe i'm seeing capcom diehards saying that dan needs to be strong in street fighter v. esports isn't ready for dan and his goonery/buffoonery
These are your best videos!!
I never knew any of this about Dan. Thanks!
Great video, Dan's the Man. He did kinda use 10:35 moves before, in omega mode of Ultra street fighter IV. I would like to see more videos like this.
I’m calling him jimmy from now on
Knx "Dan's infinite"..dope track.
Alpha 3 was my first intro to Dan. I appreciate that he's a underdog character. Never knew that he was a middie from CAP to SNK. Dope, it adds.
I love that beat too
One interesting thing about Dan is that his move set looks to be a blend of Muay Thai and Ansatsuken. His gadouken and koryuken are obviously based off Gouken's teachings, but his Dan Kicks are strikingly similar to Tiger Knee, especially the light versions. Other examples are how both Dan and Sagat have similar cl.HK, cl.LP., and in generally Dan uses more elbows and knees in his normals a la muay thai. The deep lore implication is that he sees muay thai as having techniques worthy of the Strongest Style since those were what killed his father.
@@michaelmccoy1794 Close heavy kick. Also Gen was a typo on my end I meant to say Gouken
Nice info. tyvm
I remember when alpha 3 came out, my group of friends hated me cause I built him to top level and fought with him lol
I would love too see a video on Blanka in the future!
Omg the mid 91-96 almost every game company at the time was pulling out fighting games. It was soooo fun.
Back in the days i got alpha 3 on psx and dump so many hours in this game, when i got bored i started playing with Dan and ho boy it was an amazing ride 👍
Robert's head, Ryo's stance, and the backstory of Terry
In Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter, Akuma's ending has him defeating "Cyber Dan "w/only 1 shoryuken
3:37
Nevermind Pyscho ball, you made me remember Goenitz and now I''m not sure how I'll sleep tonight
It's also funny that even though Gadouken is just sad, when I used to play the old versus games, I always liked Dan more than Ryu or Ken, largely because to me his kick tatsumaki always felt so much better to me.
6:19 Sagat immediately put on the patch after his eye got gouged out and then proceeded to kill Gou
That art is from WAY back in the day, before there was ever a dan, or go hibiki in the story. The image was later retconned into stating it was Go Hibiki so ehh why not put it in
rooflemonger That’s awesome! Thanks for the info!
It should be noted that Hiroshi Matsumoto was the lead character designer for Street Fighter AND Art of Fighting. SNK wasn't ripping off Capcom, it was the same guy who just didn't have control over his self-created IP anymore, so he tweaked it slightly for his new project. That makes it even more spiteful and disrespectful that Dan was created.
In street fighter 4, theres a DLC called Omega mode that turns Dan into basically Ryo with all his moves. A very good player can stomp with dan. Back when we had game times at the local fast food place we brought out a TV and a Playstation and had people come by and play with us. Nobody wanted to pick Dan, however i was the only one that could play him at maximum efficiency and a beatdown from Dan by me is a ton of giggles. Guys didnt get mad, they just were laughing at how goofy they were beaten. It was good times.
When playing as Dan in the Capcom VS SNK 1 games,the A.O.F. characters mistake him for Ryo or Robert
Thanks for fr subtittles 🥰
1:31 Dan is wearing Takuma Tengu mask here
His pink Gi is also a reference to Yuri’s outfit in AOF1 and her secondary color in AOF2.
Capcom lost the case with data east, remember that data east made karate champ witch has a red and white karateka
Capcom lost the lawsuit horribly against
data-east 😂
If I were Data East.
I would've at least make the game into *Bad Dudes II: Fighter's History* and *Bad Dudes III: Karnov's Revenge* to have Blade & Striker as the shoto-fighters instead of that wannabe-me Ray McDougal.
I personally liked the game, but it relies too much on being just another *Street Fighter II* cliché.
We need a video on Hakkan
Maybe one day! I got tons of characters I would love to cover in these kinda vids, just they take so much longer to make than the normal style of video I have.
Who cares about Hakan?
Dan is my favorite street fighter character something about his personality and appearance just makes him ridiculously fun to me
Does Dan have the potential to be one of the strongest characters but he's just so weird and ridiculous it basically acts as a handicap for him?
considering outside of the basics dan trained himself for the most part, I think he's quite strong all things considered.
@@rooflemonger its like yamcha. Yamcha is treated as a joke but in general he is strong
More so hercule blade.
What does SNK stand for?
I've always liked Dan, because, I am Dan. You know? That one guys that tries really hard but he still sucks.
Omg another "avenge my dead father" at this point the game should be call street therapy: Daddy issues!!
It almost feels like a satire to the backstories of Chun Li and Terry Bogard.
Not really Ken. That would require some form crique within Dan's story.
Dan comes from the JCVD movie double impact right ?
What a silly lad Dan Hibiki be. Ridiculous history must continue and grow!
A surprise to be sure buy a welcome one
As a kid, I always just saw him as a spoof of a young Steven Seagal, but it's just as funny knowing he's just a cheaply sandwiched amalgamation of Ryo and Robert. XD
Something else to add to the Dan Hibiki Legend: Dan Hibiki and Joe Higashi were official team mates in the first Capcom vs SNK crossover. And cannonically, regardless of which team you play through in arcade mode, they wind up being the true winners of the entire tournament. While the team you play as is busy messing around with Geese, Joe and Dan just bypass them and win the tourney off screen. And if you play as those two, well, they just put Geese through a wall before they win, anyway. To top it off, if you see their personal pre-match interactions with each other in a versus match, it's obvious that Joe and Dan HATED each other!
Hopefully you've tried out Dan in his official launch for SFV, by now. This seems to be his strongest iteration, yet! SAIKYO!
Hi-Gadoken's Dan is NO JOKE!
Dan is my personal favorite character. Looking back its amazing that a character created as a joke, and is made to be a pathetic fighter, i feel this kind of character on paper could have been an annoying one and done character. I'm glad he stuck around.
Dans one of my heavy hitters
I loved Dan. Cool 3-kick-move.
Ah, yes, Dan Hibiki, my favorite Fortnite
what is forkknife
Correction: Capcom lost the lawsuit on Data East's Fighter's History. Alpha1 Dan is the best Dan, more serious than his joke later iterations.
A big point about Dan that makes him a bit meaner as a joke Is the fact that art of fighting was made by the guy who made SF1 after he left for snk because he wasn’t satisfied with where they were taking things at the time. It’s kind of interesting to look at as his background matches Keiji inafune’s eventual history with capcom. He left to make a spiritual successor to his own work.
The best form of flattery is imitation.
Dan Hibiki will always be a favorite of mine, and has been ever since he debuted!! It always feels good to win with him, I'm team hibiki for life😁😁
Roshi was revealed for FighterZ. Thoughts?
Looooong time coming.
Don’t forget about Yuri in Dan’s character The a thumbs up that Dan does is one if Yuri’s Victory poses.
My favourite SF character, so happy he made it to SFV. I hope he has his demon
OYAJIIIII!!!
That demon is his dad :(
what's the game where one of Dan's moves is hitting the other person with... Dan on a stick...? seriously, that was an actual move in some game.
Back then they didn't want me
NowI'mHot, they all on me!
SNK and CAPCOM weren't on good terms back then as competitors.
After business went south with SNK the first time around, Capcom agreed that it would be good marketing to make a cross-over game as it could help Capcom sales (to which it did) and Capcom Vs. SNK was born a hit.
It was so successful, both companies flourished and agreed that as 2 aspiring Japanese development companies, setting aside differences to tackle the foreign market would benefit everyone, and Capcom Vs SNK 2 and SNK vs Capcom: Chaos was a critical success as a result, showcasing all of both stables in glorious fashion (Dan and Yuri have the best opening IMO).
They wanted to try for something more, bit SNK went and suggested some funky things for Ryu as a costume and Capcom said the f-bomb (which is funny because that costume is now present in SFV). They went separate ways for a decade.
Well SNK goes bankrupt right? But lots of their Fighting Game staff were already reputable to Capcoms fight game staff since they worked so closely together.
I assure you now thatmany of SNK's fighting game staff is employed by Capcom because SNK host company has issues.
SNK are of the likes of MetalSlug, Sukoden, as well as KoF and AoF.
Capcom are of the likes of Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, as well as their SF series and numerous Cross-overs like Tekken V, MvC, and survival horrors.
How about Pichu from Super Smash Bros. Melee & Ultimate next time?
Does pichu even have a story? heh
@@rooflemonger pokedex entries might work?
Where I live, Street Fighter 2 was never that big, but Art of Fighting and, eventually, The King of Fighters, oh my!!! Almost every little store, pharmacy, office materials store (I don't know the names in English, it's a little store where you can buy paper, pens, pencils, eraser, scissors, all that stuff) had one or two arcade machines with either Art of Fighting or the newest installment of KoF, even as back as 1994, but my personal favorite was Fatal Fury, and when KoF '96 changed dodging into rolling, I became a real fan, but I abandoned KoF's bandwagon in '98. My personal favorite still is '97, with a team made of Kensou, Yuri and Shermie (regular, not orochi Shermie), but when someone uses orochi Leona or Iori, to easily win, I'd use normal Leona, who, along with Kensou, allowed me to defeat those cheating players (not always, but usually enough).
Oh, the memories! The 90s were the best.
Now the question is
When is Yuri's video coming out?
Yuri's actual story is kinda boring, it'd just be mostly her stealing capcom moves.
Did you cover Oro, Rose and Akira yet?
This is the 4th installment of the series! I cover anyone from any game, just have to be interesting enough
Those who are good with Dan are those who are not to be fcked with.
I’m maining dan when he comes out
Dan is the Yamcha of street fighter
Boy, that's a unique way to pronounce Sakura. Is that how they pronounce it in the dub?
It is sad to see you did not show Ryu and Robert how they originally were. Dan is not copying Ryo's short range fireball. He has a bad fireball because he sucks. Ryo's fireball was just fine
Turthfully i kinda like dan hibiki design, and his pink-ish karate gi is iconic, so capcom should thanks also to snk because of this case lol #ironic
how you going to ignore the Udon Comics? Also Street Fighter Assassin's Fist had placed Dan as Gouken's student before Ryu and Ken were. Not sure how canon either are, but still worth mentioning
Well I don't know every udon comic cause I haven't read them all, so not sure what specifically you are referring to there. In these kinda vids I try to hit the big important notes, most of the comics are not canon anyways.
