Capcom was nice enough to send me some information about their newest character in SF...unfortunately, I couldn't log into the press site (something on my end?). But hey, someone else posted some info up....

He's an Oil Fighter....basically a sumo that does a lot more when he greases himself up. He looks pretty badass, and it's definitely the most original thing I've seen in some time. What do you think of Hakan? Who is your favorite SF character?
You're just a little late on bringing us that info, Mack. Just a little.
Anyway, I think it's pretty interesting. I recall a fighter with a similar gimmick, except I can't remember who it was.

Charlie is pretty badass. He can survive being shot by a helicopter off a waterfall.
Hakan's all lubed up and ready to squirt, and my favorite street fighter would probably have to be Guy or Cody.
He looks like he's going to be the best new character in SSF4 from what I've seen. He's like Zangief mixed with Blanka. He has some pretty daughters too. Dan is the best Street Fighter character hands down. I hear he's been buffed in Super. He's probably better than Guile and Fei Long now.
If you're talking tiers...Dan is at the bottom of every SFIV list I've seen. Fei Long is pretty low and Guile is at the top of the some bracket that Fei is in. So honestly, if you're comparing them to those three, you're insulting Hakan. lol.
Again, I main Cammy, who is frequently placed at the bottom of the same bracket that Fei and Guile are in and I kick total ass with her, especially against Zangief players.
If you go by the current bracket list however...

You'll see that everything is a little..thrown out of place since late October of last year. Akuma got a boost and Vega was thrown downward.
Back to my point though: Dan is terribad.
Wow, that's definitely the most original character (in SF) I've seen. but I can't play grapplers too well.
I'm gonna have to go with Gouki as my favorite Street Fighter character.
But Terry Bogard is the best
Guile is generally considered to be the worst non-Dan character at this point, and he isn't going to be any better in Super. The best thing he gets is sunglasses, and Fei Long doesn't even get that. Almost everyone else is getting new tools, and Dan in particular is getting a lot. Bigger Gadoken range and a comboable ultra? Sounds good to me.
Despite his tier list placing, he has the most style.
Style? That's purely subjective. Still, I like Dan and would hate to see him get worse. So I welcome the buffs.
Well, so is the word 'best' :P

Depends on how you're using that word. If you're talking tiers, then no, it isn't. Careful analysis and blatant OP traits bring Sagat to the top of every tier list, making the word objective. If you're talking favorites then yeah, totally.
Should they really be making Dan better? I mean, he is a joke character after all. It's hard to take him seriously when he keeps improving...

Yuri & Joe from King of Fighters come to mind. Same with Shingo. Not Street Fighter, but still.
Shingo is the only joke character out of those three.
The joke is that he's going to be better than some characters.

I don't really mind the buffs. Chances are the buffs won't make that much of a difference anyways.
This video has Dan's new combo at the end among other things. Pretty amazing.
He's original, that's all I can say about him. Would I have preferred another Alpha revival? Yes (hi thar Charlie). Hopefully he won't be as lame as the Zangief spammers that think they run the online rooms.
BTW - I'm a Bison main. Dictator FTW (he's just so cool, so chic). If you'd like a match, hit me up on PSN (ID is Thirteenthorder)
Charlie's dead :P
I like Gief vs Gief matches online. Most people are always amazed when you plow right through their lariats.
It's widely accepted that Abel is a prototype of some sort for the Seths and that Charlie had something to do with his escape, as Abel mentions throughout his story about his adopted father that was a solider. He saw Guile do a Sonic Boom and recognized it.Not sure about the exact details as I beat Arcade mode with everyone last March, but I remember what's important. Charlie might not be dead, at least not in Street Fighter IV.
I'm pretty sure Abel also said the guy who rescued him died, or something like that anyway.

He said he didn't know what happened to him lol.
Shoryuken Wiki doesn't seem to think he's dead at all. I don't, again, at least not in IV. We wouldn't have this issue if it wasn't for Capcom intercourse ing up at making a solid plot for once.

Dudley is going to be the new Sagat and I'm fine with this.

Correct. If my memory serves me correctly, only 3 people in the entire SF-verse know how to perform a Sonic Boom. Those three are Guile, Charlie, and Remy.
Guile and Remy are both impossible :)
