Newly posted Dan voice clips for Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition tell you everything you need to know about Saikyo
Spoilers: It's super cool
Capcom has livened up our Monday mornings a bit with a post offering a few lines of Dan's English voice audio for his upcoming Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition appearance.
This nine second clip hears Mr. Hibiki give us three separate deliveries of one line concerning his patented Saikyo fighting style and how cool it is.
The first of five Season 5 DLC characters is en route to join the game this coming February. He's the only S5 fighter we've seen any gameplay footage of thus far, and while we've heard him speak a bit while tossing out Gadokens or performing Dan Kicks, this is the first we've heard his isolated voice.
Have you heard?🔊 Saikyo style apparently is SUPER COOL! According to Dan anyways... pic.twitter.com/wpGir76jWU

The Street Fighter community learned about Dan and Season 5 back in August, and are expecting the character to bring with him a bundle of updates to the game. The road map Capcom provided informs us that we'll also be getting a new game mechanic, a rebalancing for the roster, additional costumes, and a brand new Capcom Pro Tour stage.
The release for this content was infamously billed as being "Winter 2020" which led many to suspect we'd be getting it all in December of this year. We only recently received confirmation that this indeed meant the "Winter 2020 season" which technically extends into the early months of 2021.
Though developers have not given us Dan's exact release date, the fact that he's slated to come with so many game alterations all but solidifies that we'll see him after Capcom Cup concludes on February 21. Fingers are crossed for him to drop as soon as possible following the event, but we could be waiting for as much as one more week after the big dance.
The gallery below shows off stills of the joke character performing some of the aforementioned attacks as well as a handful of others and one of his trademark taunts:
