I think Dan is very unlikely because you have to get people to actually pay money for him.

Plot twist: He will be the only character that Capcom will give YOU fight money to download.
And people will still be begrudging when they download him.

Despite him being one of my personal favorites I thought Dan was kinda popular.
I like Chuns new winpose. Looks better than the previous one.

So, like Tron Bonne's dinner rush super?Ibuki V-Trigger
So when this game matures competitively in like 2+ years, it really wouldn't surprise me if Sim ends up sucking again. The defensive\zone archetype has definitely been revamped in SFV, no doubt. But at the end of the day, I think Capcom would rather err on the side of making those types of characters suck instead of being super strong.
Hahah. And yes, a downloadable duo of Haggar and Sodom would be hot like (yoga) fire. Guy and Cody if you must, but the heroic hilarity of Haggar/Sodom would make me so happy. Like, Ballad of Mike Haggar level happy.
Gold. Dan at this point is an unfunny joke making fun of a rival company that's no longer in any shape to be honorably made fun of, but the Dan discount would be amazing. "Get Gouki for 50% less if you also download Dan for free and force yourself to play with him for the same amount of time."

Honestly, it makes sense that way. It's definitely not fun to go up against an opponent who is amazing at turtling and lose, feeling like you had no chance at all.

If you d/c from a certain number of games, you're punished by having Dan added to your character roster.

I hope they don't change Urien drastically, dig his play style.. Don't know how they'd allow multiple Aegis Reflectors though...
I assume it is like Mika and you leave it pressed and it goes through them all eventually.
V-Trigger is a legit Haoh Sho Ko Ken
Rashid's V-Trigger is almost like Urien Aegis already, so maybe they go for another thing.
Or maybe you have two activations for his V-Trigger, and one is a single Aegis of long duration, and the other is a short double aegis.
But I actually expect his CA to be Aegis, and his V-Trigger to be him exploding his suit.
This could potentially be really good, particularly if you don't have to hit the specified normal first, so you can combo into it
They could do it in the style of Karin's V-Trigger where the meter slowly drains after activation and each time you use Aegis it takes a chunk out of the meter. Give him enough meter to do 2 reflectors during the trigger time like having two bars of super in 3s.

Akuma, Sagat, Sakura, and Cody are the most popular ones left that I think will make it (sorry, Q) but I don't think they drop them all in year two. I'd expect them to put one low popularity character in per round like Birdie and Balrog.
(2017) Akuma, Sagat, Elena, Makoto, Yun, Hakan
(2018) Fei Long, Honda, Blanka, Sakura, Cody, New
Personally, I think they would have to emphasize the taunts.
You could do lots of interesting things with Dan. Chargeable Gadokens. Better recovery on air born Dan Kicks (so when he lands he is not brutally at disadvantage). Hell, you could give him that unused command grab. Or incorporating more Ryo or Roberto moves from SNK (rapid punch attack, as an example). All of that would be interesting, but doesn't feel like a cohesive design strategy.
I think an interesting style would be to keep him a little flawed (though keep his Dan Kicks awesome), but give him quick meter building taunts and slower stat buffing taunts. His V-skill should absolutely be these taunts. His V-trigger could give him a satsui no hado mode where he has Dan versions of Akuma's moves; make them funny looking, but make sure they are useful. This would also, of course, turn his normal super into Dan's Raging Demon move that appeared in a few crossover games.
Either way, I REALLY hope Dan makes it. Though I am thinking he will be a season three inclusion at earliest.
Dan has always been a pretty divisive character. There are plenty of people who like him, but the detractors can be pretty vitriolic in their hatred.
SF1 fans can be told that they have Ryu. Ken and Birdie. I wonder if they'd claim Birdie is an Alpha character though.

Don chan, the goat pet has to be in SFV in some capacity.
His CA will be a taunt that causes a timeout. If Dan wins, he will continue the taunt for another 10 seconds without the option to skip it.
Capcom is always pissing in the mouths of SF1 fans.

I'd definitely play him if he had something like that. As long as his normals were not shit it would be a cool way to emphasize certain moves.
And troll your opponents by buffing one attack only to never use it in the round just for mindgames.

Dan is liked by many, hated by others, but played by very few. He makes more sense to be an NPC but this is a fighting game series so that doesn't really work.

Dan would be a waste. There is no way Ono doesn't turn him into a joke character again.

You can make Dan effective while sticking to his roots. Joke characters can still be silly, but still be strong characters. Characters like Luigi from Smash and Bang from Blazblue come to mind for me. I understand that Dan's creation was to mock SNK back in the day, but I feel he's evolved from that. Again, his Omega move set gave a lot of options for a fun mix up game.
I understand why people wouldn't want Dan, but I feel like he could have the most unique and fun re-design of returning characters. I expect to see characters like Akuma and Sakura to return first, but Dan's far from a waste.
That filter makes me want to stab my eyes.The real question is which year we'll get Ingrid in
Also lol at people who don't think Dan is worth a slot. Dan is the best shoto, if not the only one who isn't boring.
Dan was my main in IV, and I'd love to see him again.
That said, I feel like he won't be in V till 2019 at the earliest. I'm thinking that after launch we're probably gonna get one shoto a year. So Akuma in 2017, and Sakura in 2018.
Also, it's worth noting that the 2016 DLC roster has 4 characters returning from IV, and two characters that weren't in IV. I think this is going to remain the ratio, going forward.

Because he's a joke character some perceive him as a wasted slot. Nothing stopping Capcom and Ono from making him good, though. I mean, he was already vastly superior to past appearances in SF IV.

Man, her sprite and design look so off and low quality compared to real street fighter characters
Wait, how do we know this again?

You're confusing notoriety with popularity. He was a token joke character, but SFV already has that with Birdie and Mika.

Looks good. Karin's hair still looks like bread though, need to soften the texture a bit.
