Dhalsim's Combos

practice, that’s all the info i can give you!

That’s what i was afraid of. One day i can do it from both sides 20 times in a row, and then the next i can’t even do BnB. I wish i had Iyo’s brain my god.

BnBxxSuper is great and all, but if you are worried about not hitting out of IAT, just go for j.hp (or j.b.hp) straight into Super.
On the ground you can just hit confirm d.b.hp into Super.

The damage difference really isn’t all that much.

Why when im doing in training this combo so the lp flame missing? (while he is not moving)
teleport, Air hp, back+mk xx lp flame, super.

I think it’s because you’re not doing it fast enough to cancel the kick into flame. That part of the combo has the strictest timing, requiring you to be very quick going from b+mk into flame. I don’t do the shortcut motion but I would suggest just practicing that part of the combo over and over with whatever motion works best for you until it starts to come out more.

Seriously just stand in front of the training dummy and do b+mk xx lp flame like 20 times, switch sides, 20 more, switch back, etc. Don’t worry about the teleporting and super yet if you are having trouble with the middle part of the combo. Keep practicing and eventually you will hit it more often than not.

I remember telling myself to kind of do it like a command grab, but with two button presses; think of it as one move, rather than trying to do each thing individually. It’s a bitch to get down, for sure.

The b+mk/hp xx flame is the most important part to learn since you will have so many opportunities to land it that don’t involve jumping or teleporting w/ a hp, like after a whiffed move or sliding under a jump. You have to be able to land it at will, without any particular setups because those kinds of situations will present themselves naturally throughout the fight. You don’t want to learn the combo but only be able to pull it off with certain setups.

Once you are landing it consistently, it’s easy to mix in a teleport, hp, super, or whatever because the timing on those is so lenient in comparison to the b+mk xx flame. You’ll feel like you have all day to pull them off. At least for me, once I got the b+mk xx lp flame down, adding the super to it was cake.

Keep in mind I am a complete scrub, not an expert, just offering my thoughts.

Now if only I could stop getting accidental Yoga Blasts due to negative edging after a slide or whatever I might one day become an OKish scrub. I know what I’m doing wrong but I can’t seem to fucking stop doing it and it is killing me too fucking often. :grrr:

Now i can do always the b+mk xx lp flame, super when im in the left side.
But when im in the right side then im too slow, and i can do that sometimes only if im doing button mashing for the super…
im using ps3 controller.

Couple of questions. For the IAT BnB what are the advantages to using :l: + :hp: (in air) rather than :l: + :hk: or regular :hp: (in air)? Just wondering because :l: + :hk: does more damage and I feel more comfortable doing :hp: rather than :l: + :hp:.

Also, what are the most viable super combos? I know lk slide -> super is pretty useful, as is the BnB super. What else is good? :db: + :mp: -> super seems good. What do you guys think?

Just a side note: Thanks to whoever mentioned that :df::l: + :p: works for flame after :l: + :mk:. From this I developed myself to do the actual motion.

If the enemy is really close i keep them out of throw range with c.lk, then immediately b+lk, b+mk, lp yoga flame, super.

Once you practice this a bit you can pretty easily hit confirm the back+mk and you’re doing the yoga flame by SOUND.

So, basically. If you hear the medium kick land, you know that the yoga flame that you’re already throwing out will land, and you can continue to do the super. I do the super motion wether the b+mk lands or is blocked, and if i hear the sound of the hit then i go ahead and hit lp to initiate the super at the end.

I’m a G1 on pad, but i can not link bk mk yoga flame with my TE! Any tips on button layout, and hand position guys?

add UB to the flame:hcb::ub::lp:, let me know if it works for you, or try the DF > B +lp method :df::l::lp:

the UB method is used if you are pressing lp early or if you prefer moving the stick quickly, and turn on input display

i just need to keep consistant on P2 side bnb flame combos, any advice?

The over compensation is working ok. It’s coming back. Slowy, but surely. I used to have trouble hitting BnB inferno on pad on the 2 player side… sorry i can’t help.

Wow i’m finding that you can almost kind of hit straight down to do flame. Obviously you’re not hitting straight down, but it helps to do the DF shortcut. What control config is the best for Dhalsim?

on xbox box pad i used default A, then changed the face buttons to medium and hard, and right collar buttons to light, dident change 3x on the left collars, i now use stick the only thing i regret is using a ocatganal gate for the past few weeks,ive put the square back in.

also when i did use xbox pad i used the anoulouge thats y i thought ocatagate would be good but i was wrong and i dont reccomend them

I’m loving the square gate, but i might. I MIGHT have to reduce the deadzone just a bit. I’ll probably adjust, but having to hit the joystick motion quite a bit before hitting the button is really throwing me off.

thats why i use a seimitsu ls-56, i have to move sanwa too much

I’m loving the square gate now. It’s so easy to get the back-forward BnB shortcut going. Man i have to say though the Joystick motions for Dhalsim players is nasty violent. I have the TE stick…and i already know i’m going to break it, but i don’t care right now.

This happens to me a lot too. I don’t really have a good explanation for it. The timing is just a lot more strict that other character’s BnBs.

Don’t worry about combos too much as Slim. Seriously…

Practice the ONE IAT combo into lp.flame and you are on your way.

Lately I have been getting srk’d after b.mk and before lp.flame on block. Even copped a Ryu super once too.

Went into training mode recorded sim doing bread and butter and what do you know? Mashing srk will hit him out of the combo! I think regular srk trades while ex srk will beat the blocked combo cleanly.

Safest thing to do is if you see opponent block not to follow up with lp flame.

Sorry if this is common knowledge but I’ve only recently been hit out of the b’n’b on block.

Execution qns

Hi people, 1st of all i wanna thank you guys for contributing actively to dhalsim sub-forums.

I have been trying to execute the lk slide xx super combo, however my input is like this :d::df::r::d:+:lk::df::r:+:p:

is this input the most optimal? i’ve been unable to execute properly using other inputs.

err i use that same input, what other ones are there?
