Banned Characters

(1) Dhalsim’s recovery is right behind Akuma
(2) Dhalsim’s zoning is right behind Akuma
(3) Dhalsim’s mixups with the jab fireball, Yoga Mummy, Down + Forward is insane
(4) Dhalsim can teleport through any special and super moves

hahaha jesus christ you are fucking retarded

Here’s the thing about Dhalsim: you can stop his shit from half- screen if timed right.
The man’s has some weakness Akuma damn near has none
Just in case your wondering yes I have played with both characters and found that Dhalsim has a weak close-up game in order to use him effectively you have to be mid to far screen.

Are you insane? I’m not arguing that Akuma isn’t broken (we really don’t know since we banned him hella early and he’s not even winning in tourney’s where he’s allowed), but dhalsim is crazy up close too. noogie tics and drill kicks aren’t meant for far screen. If you don’t think dhalsim has a dnagerous in close game you don’t play the game enough.

Ok if your counting the noogie tics yeah I’ll give you that but the drill kicks are beaten easily by anti-air’s if timed right ?

I agree that Dhalsim def has some great close moves. I think the only game where hes broken thought is SVC Chaos, and half the characters in that game are broken.

hey i heard that dark prince guy is pretty broken, that’s why he’s banned in tournaments

It’s because none of those characters are in the arcade version, and it wouldn’t be fair to make players fight against characters they’ve never practiced against. And those characters are purposefully better than the rest of the cast. If you think someone like jinpachi should be tourney legal, then same on you.

Which characters ?

anti airs gets baited, ggpo ryu

Sim isn’t that over powered. ST in general is an extremely balanced game. I mean if we can allow O.Sagat I wouldn’t mind playing against Akuma. Granted I don’t know what im getting myself into if someone really mastered the devil.
