Is Dan a disgrace to the Street Fighter series?

lol Dan is extremly useless, unless you want to use him for laughs. I mean, why use Dan when there's always Ryu, Ken or Akuma?

But he's old school and I'm glad to have him in the next Street Fighter game.

"Shortly after the release of Street Fighter II, rival video game company SNK finished development on, and subsequently released, their own fighting game, Art of Fighting. The principal character of this series, Ryo Sakazaki, bore a resemblance in appearance and name to Ryu, as well as other aesthetic similarities to Ken, wearing an orange gi and sporting blonde hair.

In retaliation, one of Capcom's artist drew an artwork of Sagat holding a defeated opponent by the head during the release of Street Fighter II ' Turbo - Hyper Fighting. The defeated opponent wore an attire similar Ryo's: an orange karate gi with a torn black shirt underneath and geta sandals; but had long dark hair tied to a ponytail like Robert Garcia, another character from the Art of Fighting series. This character design would become the basis of Dan, who was introduced as a secret character in Street Fighter Alpha. His fireball is telling: instead of using both hands to unleash his Gadouken (as Ryu and Ken do for the Hadouken), he propels it with one hand, like Ryo, Robert and Yuri do for the Kooh-ken. Dan can also taunt infinitely like the Art of Fighting games, unlike his fellow Street Fighter Alpha characters."

I will murk anyone on this forum with Dan while wearing his peach attaire.Dan is a top 5 SF character of all time.I don't see how he is a joke.Marked_Man

Although that might be true that doesnt change the fact of why he came into existence, read the post above. I also use him from time to time and he's not a really bad character to play with unlike what a lot of people think on this forum. He was made as a joke against the art of fighting series and their characters.
