Dan's less underpowered than he seems. In MSHvSF at least, his Gadouken did pretty decent damage(the super version of that sperm ball did INSANE damage, but still at short range. :P) Don't think of it as a fireball(except for shielding purposes), think of it as an "extra" punch that you can tack on as a combo finisher. The Dan-Ku-Kyaku isn't really all that great in the sense of it leaving you wide open to counterattacks. But if you're jumping around like a speed-addicted kangaroo on a pogostick, use it just before you land, it should give more power than either a jumping heavy attack or a jumping taunt(Yahooey!) I didn't know about the Koryuken count in some of the Alphas. I know in other incarnations it varies between every 4th one or every 8th one(Koryukens that is. Other moves didn't move the count)
