Hmmmmmm....Using Dan in that match does not necessary mean being at a disadvantage. It could be an advantage for what I know.
1.It was a R4 Dan vs R4 Yamazaki, which means Dan does not have to adjust to the pace of different characters.
2.Dan is a very good character for close attacks, which is Yamazaki's weakness (and Dan does not have a wide variety of moves and fireballs in which Yamazaki could counter or reflect).
3.Yamazaki still wins 2 matches, which probabaly means that he lost due to inexperience against a much seasoned Dan player.
And no, I did not say Wong won it by fluke. He just caught someone off guard.

Well, I am in no position to comment Wong, but I think he probably wanted to catch everyone by surprise that he can really master CVS2, even by using someone by Dan. But noooooo in my eyes Dan is a sneaky guy with a lot of hidden killing impact in CVS2.

Picking wimps like Dan and Shingo are a good way to show off if you're really good. I like caning my mate with Hinako and Shingo just to see the look on his face

I believe that Dan in CvS2 is one of Dan's strongest incarnations. He has more stamina than Ryu, and his gadoken actually has distance, now. :P

A-groove is quite dominating in CVS2. I have a friend who uses Yuri, Sakura and Mai A-groove and he seldom loses a match.

Yes it is, sakura can be quite damaging with it too. I just hate losing running and short jumps... I feel naked.

Dan's a freaking killer. Have you ever looked at the damage his level 3 qcf,qcf+K does? It's like "Hey, where's your lifebar?"!
