True, but I think there's till that automatic reaction by some players of "Pfft, Dan? This is going to be easy."
And the EX of that flying kick thing he does has pulled my ass out of the fire more times then I'd care to count.
Alex C:
Oh, yeah, there's definitely something to be said for a lack of familiarity with the character as well. So many people play Sagat that I feel really comfortable with exactly how far those damned Tiger Knees of his reach. People have whiffed those things by bare pixels against me before. Against Dan? Well, I've got a game plan, but I'm not exactly familiar enough with the guy where I feel like I can dodge bullets.
Darke:
The thing is, though, that when you're playing better players, you can guarantee that they'll know whatever character you choose inside out, and it's then that the tier differences become so apparent.
Playing as Vega, if I make one mistake against Sagat I could very easily lose half my health, in contrast to me having to pull off about four combos to do the same thing back. This is even more true of Zangief, but that match is actually pretty easy as long as I'm on the ball.
Not that it matters, 'cause Vega is a yodeling Spaniard and therefore more epic than any other character.
Alex C:
I can hold my own against most Sagats pretty well with Ryu (I am a boring enough person that he's always been a favorite), but I get straight murdered when I pull out poor ol' Zangief. I love 'Gief and I can beat the tar out of most chars with him, but I've gotten plain murdered by some pretty mediocre Sagats with him. Also, it makes me feel kinda dirty that 3 of my favorite street fighter characters are apparently the top of the food chain in this one.
satsugaikaze:
There are two types of people who play against Dan.
The people who think he's a complete pushover and get their asses kicked, and the people who actually treat him seriously and win properly.
And the fact that fans are listing him as "mid-tier" is somewhat disturbing for a joke character. And his Gadouken does actually look like something you'd bring home to meet your mother. Yahooey. And plus, you can't beat a character in a game that breaks the 4th wall every now and then.
