Dhalsim Video Thread

Yeah, especially if think U2 is good after an IAT.
My tips are simple:

  • never use s.hp at medium/close distance. Sagat focuses them with ease. At medium distance you must use s.mk, s.mp s.lk s.lp. Sometimes d.mp is also good.

  • learn to punish well. b.hk does the half damage of b.hp xx flame mp. Even the grab does more.

  • use instant U2 as antiair, not after a random IAT.

Your spacing is good, your zoning is good at far and close distance, not at medium yet. Keep playing :wink:

I just want to add that doing U2 after a ā€œrandomā€ teleport might be good if you predict a fireball and catch him during is recovery frames from throwing the fireball!

This is 2 matches of me versus 2 of sweedens best players yagami (DH) and keffi (GO).
In the mirror match between me and yagami, I am on the right and he is on the left. You can see he is a much more solid and defensive dhalsim and is constantly punnishing my wiffed FP and trades with my fireballs. I am a little more reckless myself, and it pays off.

Against the akuma player I didn’t play well. I miss a lot of anti airs, and fail with U2 both times I try to use it. Here my lack of defensive skills hurt me hard!

Very entertaining vid! Well played win, sir :smiley: — I almost always pick U1 in this mirror, but this match made me realize how versatile U2 can be, when Sim is so naturally prone to doing an anti-air to jump in attacks — it’ll make me think twice of how to react next time I play a Sim mirror and my opp selects U2, that’s for sure =) I noticed that it’s an 8 part video series… are you in any more of them? At work and unfortunately don’t have time to sift through them all, but I will periodically do so.

Sim mirrors are so much fun to watch (but not play imo lol).

:tup:

I’m glad you liked the vid:) There are a couple of matches of me in the part before this one, but I’m not really proud of my performance:P These are actually a mini tournament between Norway and Sweden (Neighbour countries), and it took place at Dream Hack at the night, after a whole day of tournament. I wasn’t at my best to say the least:P

Darui!

2 new vids by Darui, who I think is a stellar overseas Sim.

[media=youtube]zUXCX4fVliI]YouTube - Wildcat815 [Hakan] vs Darui [Dhalsim[/media]

Couple notes here…

1.) You can tell he really knows his aa’s — as his st.mp at 01:13 is lovely and 100% apropos for that range. How often do you see st.mp as an aa? [You know what I think is a great aa, that I never see used? Db.fp. I’ll get into that at another time.]

2.) Nice maximum punish of 'Kan’s whiffed super at 01:20 (directly after the first note heh). How many players know how to react after Hakan misses his super? Not many, I’m wagering. Before I saw this video — I’d have gone the safe route with a throw to regain zoning position, or db.hk.

***If you guys aren’t familiar with Wildcat815, you’re uncultured :slight_smile: His Hakan is just too much fun!

[media=youtube]iLXU_1BjBOI]YouTube - ACE E I RI N [Guile] vs Darui [Dhalsim[/media]

Notes on this awesome match…

1.) LOL @ Dhalsim’s ā€œcross-upā€ at 00:43. I don’t even care if I’m the only person alive who found that funny.

2.) @ 01:00 — this is why you do NOT do mid-range fireballs against chars with projectiles. We are all guilty from time to time :slight_smile:

3.) @ 02:57 — possibly the sickest Dhalsim bnb xx super > ultra setups I’ve ever seen (granted it’s corner shenanigans). Fucking splendid. The craziest part? Not ONE ounce of mashing. Watch his inputs. To be that good… sigh


Darui is unequivocally one of my very favorite Dhalsim players. Empty jumping on Guile? Are you fucking kidding me?!? <re: 01:57 — he doesn’t do crazy damage afterward, but that is not my point…> This guy has majestic, iron balls. Plus, his usage of yoga fire as a well timed aa is very nice as well.

Darui ftmfw.

Cheers, Sims!

Nice notes. I had no idea sim could juggle (a single hit but who cares) off super in the corner

that corner juggle/ultra post super would’ve been great had he chosen U2 :slight_smile:

The other player could have just jumped if he tried that beepee

IAT La while they are falling from reset. Works in training mode…

One is able to jump away from shangrila when you have been reset. Are you sure you have the training dummy set to jump as soon as it lands?

ahh…true…nevermind…

If you ever wanted to see Martin Phan (yup, Marn) play as Dhalsim, here’s your opportunity!

Fast forward to the 01:29:29 (that’s 1.5 hours in, not 1.5 minutes). Not the best action ever, but it’s worth a quick laugh and view.

found this under another thread Sim vs Yun AE [media=youtube]SWgQR8ZKJxg[/media]

^ all the vids of Dhalsim in that thread are of me haha (except the one vs Cody) I coulda sworn they recorded more of my matches but i guess he decided not to upload them

i need input

After playing some character i decided to main dhalsim, and i need a lot of input for my dhalsim

these are some of my video playing against some indonesian player

I apologize if some of the video is low quality

I already read some of match up, but sometimes it’s hard for me to play defensively and I like teleport a lot >.<

Damnnnnnn…

Nice comeback bro.

St.MP is a great AA, though it has very specific usage.

But db.fierce as an AA? No, dude. No way. I’ve tried to use it a million times thinking that I’d find a range where it won’t get beat or trade, and there is none. Check out the hitbox on it: db.fierce

That hitbox is contained entirely within a huge green hurtbox, which means any jump in attack will at the very least trade if not outright beat it clean. It just doesn’t work for AA purposes.

Now look at db.strong. The hurtbox is still there above the hitbox, but it’s pulled back a little bit to Sim’s wrist so hitting with the tip of the punch can work in specific ranges. db.strong is good for hitting things like Ryu’s jump in Tatsu, but getting the range just right is tough. I’m fucking free to that jumpin Tatsu shit still. :sad:

Filipino Champ playing AE Sim for a 28 win streak from 0:28:10 I think:
