Dhalsim General Thread: The Longer it Gets, the Harder it Hits

you aren’t going to use the fireballs to zone. You’re going to use them for set ups. Building the super meter to use CA, is a bad idea with Dhalsim. What you want to do is use it for ex-moves

Can he keep anybody off of him is the question. His mid and close range game is too lackluster to properly zone or fight in close. Reports of air normals from Yoga Float’s lowest height restriction having little hitstun makes that a poor choice for zoning or playing in close as well.

I don’t like how the only viable way it appears for Sim to properly zone is with VT. It seems like the only truly viable gameplan Sim will be able to employ outside of VT is straight up hit and run, and limited CQ. It’s a shame because in IV he could stand his ground and zone, hit and run, limited CQ, and much better teleport mixups.

Not really. He can however run away for days. If you thought Sim matches were boring, you’re going to fall asleep now.

Old video, but uploaded recently by Art:

we are in need of more Dhalsom footage

Thank god there’s at least no more proximity guard from focus attacks since they are gone

I wanna see Sugiyama, PinoAB7 or Afrocole’s take on Dhalsim.

You want to see how Necro players are handling an Indian Necro :slight_smile:

Sure :3

Great thing that somebody puts time and effort in making such a video! But this is not the quality I was hoping for. The button input takes to much space in screen.

Nice way to see all his normals. The combos were pretty basic combo theory, but cool nonetheless

Watched the WSO stream last night. Almost the only stream that I can watch because the time difference with the UK is only a hour. There was some interesting Dhalsim gameplay to be seen. I think the footage will be available on YouTube in about two days or so. But he’s still not being used as I would like to see. B+HP wasn’t used once.

There might still me better ways to use Sim than we are seeing, but I did see b+HP used a lot… but only in anticipation. It does not seem like Sim can anti air much at all on reaction, except for st.lp up close.

I did see some good use of Sim’s forward dash that I have been waiting to see, but still I need to get my hands on him so I can debunk my dehype or confirm my fears:P

The alt colors for this game are gonna be the new default. Not neon but oh so nice.

Dhalsim looking like Papa Smurf lol

Wake up Dhalsim thread, the last WSO is finally up on youtube.
