Name: Dan Hibiki

Ocupation: Avenging his father

Martial art: Shotokan karate

Character's techniques

Dan looks like a pityfull Ryu clone at first sight. This is his main strengh. Indeed, people will often underestimate him, because he is not a Ryu clone at all; he should be played in contact fighting, his fireballs used only in combos or to counter otherones. Also use his Gale kick in combos or to tick enrgy off.
But don't think just doing this will give you victory easily. A Dan player will have lots of dificulties getting in the fight, so only a confirmed player should go for it...
NB: Dan is a parody of Robert Garcia and Ryo Sakazaki (from SNK's Art of Fighting). He has most of their moves, in their weakest version. But apart from his appearence, Dan has his own storyline in the SF series, so he is not *just* a joke.
