Dhalsim Combo / Tech Thread

A setup I’ve been using a lot off a cr.mp anti-air is to cancel it into a jab fireball and immediately mp slide. It usually catches people, and then go into cr. fierce, flame.

Just discovered a meaty slide setup after mp flame (quick rise). I don’t know if this has been discovered or not but I haven’t seen it yet. After flame, forward dash and then mk slide, the timing is kinda tricky but it works.
Edit- I’ve found it’s a little easier to time if you swap the dash for a lk slide.

Did some more labbing tonight, if you do a meaty Gale setup on the opponent’s wakeup the majority of CAs in the game will whiff. More info in the video description https://youtu.be/G2vrNWKXCkQ

I have been trying to do that for the life of me… Is it possible??? I have been watching those videos for the longest and still can’t pull it off.

Double Gale combos? Yes they’re possible, just not off a tk gale, has to be a low iat Gale (jab and strong both work). It’s easiest in the corner, but can be done mid screen if you set up a fireball first. The fireball keeps the first Gale from pushing the opponent too far away for the second one to hit.

It can easily be done midscreen on your opponents wakeup, no need for a fireball.

Oh, so just kind of meaty then? Tbh I don’t practice as much meaty stuff as I should.

Yeah, hit it really meaty

Guys can we get a list of dhalsim frame traps? Having trouble locating this information on these forums. I need more setups!

Any are Sims only meaty attacks mk slide, and iat Gale???

Crouching fierce can be hit meaty. Standard frame traps are standing forward or crouching fierce off stand jab and also, you can do 2 crouching fierce’s as a frame trap.

Thanks

Alternative setup after ex flame in the corner. This is good for if you don’t wanna read the opponent’s tech on wakeup because you have to alter the timing on meaty TK Gale on Back Recovery.

Keep it up with these great vids guys. Good job.

No, Gale doesn’t hit as a cross up but damn if it doesn’t look like one. Which might actually be better because your opponent may think you’re just whiffing to get on the other side and block incorrectly as a result.

Only works on back recovery and average sized characters https://youtu.be/3L86Ph3xoew

Okay so I spent a shit ton of time labbing. I revisted my meaty Gale setups in the corner and now I’m incorporating MP and HP TK Gale. I compiled my notes onto a pastebin showcasing what options you can and cannot negate like making various DPs and CAs whiff. Here’s the link http://pastebin.com/uUDMnhTC

I made a little higlight of some ranked matches I had. You may get a kick out of it or not

I am not a Dhalsim player whatsoever but I came up with a technique that may come in handy for you guys

Cn anyone explain to me why drills are used so much in the higher ranks? I’m only silver and literally just picked up dhalsim today and going 50/50 on most games. Even just bet a super gold ( who dcd!!! )
When I seem to use drills they are always blocked and I’m punished for it. I like the idea of the offensive fchamp play but when I try stuff like drills to get in I get 40% of my life taken.
Am I missing something?
Is there any tech to allow you to safely get in or at least a setup that allows me to use X drill when X far…
Thanks in advance guys
