sim used to be good but he got nerfed to death.
as i said, i am always impressed by players making him work, but i think they would be way better playing another char.
but these changes suggested by combofiend sound GREAT
Dhalsim
• Two hits on his far standing middle kick, so opponents can’t free focus.
• Damage increase on back plus hard kick.
• Reduce push-back on back plus medium kick.
• Damage increase on far standing hard punch.
• Increase hit-stun on light and medium slide kick.
• Damage increase on EX Yoga Flame.
• Increase speed of Yoga Drill.
Kinda funny that sim is ass in AE but he is godly in xTekken.
no FA, chain-combos + tags and huge stages really help him
preparing myself for a small tournament in germany in 2 weeks
felt very confident lately but yesterday i got bodied online several times by a seth player.
and something seems to be wrong with my hands…or my brain…
they wont let me do my combos. feels like a mental block. my hands just dont wanna slide on the punsh buttons for elec
I’ve been having trouble with ex ball combos lately, I keep getting st.jab fadc without the ball coming out. Sometimes it’s good to just take a little break to get your brain reoriented the right way.
regarding to sim changes…
aside from s.MK gonna help i really feel like the others are not really gonna help Dhalsim core problem… which is him getting owned after getting knocked down especially cornered… the other stuff will buff his offense a bit… but honestly his offense especially those listed moves are already pretty good to begin with… but with his current defense options… there’s pretty much nothing stopping people from doing meaty OS once he’s knocked down.
been playing around with lvl 1 FA… as a poke tool… seems pretty decent for now… but definitely encourages people to jump at you when they think you’re using it too much.
thanks for noting, just starting using it… not exactly sure what’s the best use for it now… right now i’m just playing with tip range hit then back dash… but might try to use it a little closer as well to try to bait a CH… which is really where this moves shines.
and my fighting game mentality for over a decade has always been… if they can’t beat it… use it, if they can stop and adapt… this applies to all moves not just this one. (player/character specific)
got 4th place in a tournament in germany…
i am happy
lost my second match to the winning akuma player and fought my way through losers brackets until losers semi. send 6 other players home along the way.
there i lost to a very good sim player. was pretty close and i could have even get best 3 but i just…didnt
all in all i had a lot of luck and i avoided all bullshit characters.
met a very good female juri player at the location and that matchup needs to be discussed! she was awesome! had no idea how to handle her stuff
