Dhalsim's Combos

It almost feels like cheating, but:

so after some more practice in challenge mode I can jump up and then do HP, then into MK -> Yoga flame for 3 hit combo (finally!)

however when I try to combine that with the teleport to the other side the medium kick always seems to push the light yoga flame just out of hit reach… am i doing something wrong?

Im not sure, sometimes they get out of my range too for some reason. But Im not using it in my game yet, I cant fully do it. Maybe we’re not fast enough in our cancel?

Heres a nice simple combo for you guys, IAT b.HP land cancel, (thats not the right name is it?) Super.
I cant remember how much damage it does off by heart, but looking at the frame data its 70+350=420 dmg. Easier way to Super if you havent got the IAT b.HP, b.mk xx LP Flame xx Super combo right yet. With this theyre still in hit stun from the Headbutt so youre fine to hit them.

Also, anyone else notice the weird hitbox of the Super? If you block a Shoto DP and they land right in front of you, the whole Super wont connect. You’ll get 2-3 hits. They have to be like half a dash away or something.

questions

hey guys,

i have been messing around with him for awhile.

bread and butter for me is tele, in air HP, db mk, light flame or in air hk, db mp, light flame.

i haven’t played alot of high level players yet but i have also been alnding his ultra like this…

after an anti air or you knock them down… throw the ultra and if they are duck blocking do the jump away HP or if they are stand blocking throw a ducking mp… then throw a super if you have it.

? for you guys though? concerning his hard combo challenge 1.

i understand that to land a light flame after a crouching mk or mp you have to do the full circle back motion and when you are on db you hit mp or mk then complete the flame. butttttttt i cannot land a standing mk to light flame.

any tips? do you just having to do it crazy fast? i saw a post saying you can just do a quarter circle back motion but i couldn’t get that to work either.

just saw this… so you only have to hit df then b after landing the mk? i gotta work on this. good post

please help with the bmk to flaME

Seriously I play like over 1000 match with dhalsim (no joke), my success rate for B+MK,yogaflame is like 30%…

I try with ps3 gamepad, saturn gamepad, X-arcade Joystick. I guess now i have to buy some sanwa or happ custom joystick …

Any good suggestion for joystick for dhalsim ?

Your posts are organized, well-thought out and extremely helpful… What I love about Dhalsim is the almost infinite possibilities for combinations. Creativity counts.

/shrug I can do it fairly well on a gamepad, and I’m sure using a stick will help, but if you can’t get it down with a pad, a stick probably won’t magically fix your problem.

For me, my biggest issues with B-Mk, L-yflame are two things.

  1. Getting the motion down. Often times, I hit F instead of DF when doing the flame, and get a dumb overhead jab chop. Make sure you hit DF then B, and not F then B.

  2. Getting the timing down. You gotta do it really fast, every time. Pretty much immediately after inputting the B+MK, you stick (or pad) should be already at DF and moving towards B.

actualy i execute the full motion without hesitating on a joystick it took my one houre f training but since its a cancel its just speed and easyer than links :slight_smile: train train train^^

today I managed to do the following vs fei long, twice:

yoga fire, kick IAT, j.hp, j.hp

mixed up my teleports by coming up in front of him, I saw the fire hit but I wasn’t close enough for the BnB combo, so I just used a hp and then thought I’d go for an instant overhead hp but instead it came out as a 3 hit combo. quite cool.

Hey guys, Iv looked over this thread and there is some great stuff. Im trying to get used to combos finally. Iv been avoiding it for a month, Sagat was enough of a beast that I could win without it, but I need a little extra damage with Sim. Anyway, Im trying to piece together one of his bnb, the IAT, b.hp, b. mk xxx lp yoga flame xxx super. (sorry if notation is wrong). I can do mk into lp yoga flame, but I can’t do lp yoga flame into super. I can do it with mp or hp yoga flame, but not lp. Iv noticed the animation is exactly the same for all three for the player who gets hit, its just the startup time of the flame that changes. Any suggestions on how to get quicker. Im doing the shorter input command for yoga flame.

Dont wait for the flame to come out, as soon as you finish inputting the commands for the Flame start the Super input.

4 PErsons Who Cant perform IA tele’s

i think think the motion is this

up right, right arrow,down arrow,down right its easy en usefull:p

To IAT you just input the teleport motion, but instead of a fowards or backwards at the end, its a JF or JB.

i’ve been practicing with sim for quite some time now. the IAT > j.HP > b.MK > yoga flame > super, i can only get that about 1 out of 5 times. i find that doing IAT > j.HP > db.MK > yoga flame > super is a lot easier for me. this is on the ps3 controller d.pad btw. the db.mk has shorter range than the b.mk though, i think that’s why everyone uses the b.mk. works for me tho’, can’t complain much.

instant air tele (IAT)

your do the normal tele motion buy you add an up/forward or up/backwards guys.

i agree. damage wise you take just as much away if you use

j.FK, d/b mp, light flame

you hit d/b medium punch as you are doing the half circle back for the flame then you hit the lp for the flame. i can hit this 95% of the time

the bMK to light flame works really good for me if you are backed into a corner

**Well wy does nobody replace back hp or hp in the IA tele combo with back back hk its beter en does 100damage **

I’m not sure, but it may have to do with the angle.

Since HK goes upwards, and FP goes downwards, when you IAT FP will hit standing opponents just about right in the face/chest (depending on where you teleported). With HK, if you use it too high, it whiffs where FP would hit.
