Interesting realization: I have about 1,600 matches played thus far with Dhalsim online. Of the 35 characters in the game, I only have 100% ranked wins against one character: Dan (naturally). I have a lot of 80-90% matchups. I’ll give you one guess as to who my lowest win % is against?
Nope. Try again.

I’m sitting at 37.5% wins in mirror matches. whines like a bitch WOW. I was honestly pretty surprised. This only means that I’ve played 8 Sim mirror matches though in ranked, of which I’ve won 3 (I have lost to 3 frequenters of the Sim forums, Satyamdas, ShawnMcCool, and MrBuster707 — all 3 clearly superior Sims).
Anybody else have a losing record in this mirror match? Truthfully, I’m not a fan of the matchup, and I groan when I come across another Sim… but I love watching Sim mirrors, if that makes any sense. Pardon my hungover rant, just thought it was interesting and worth mentioning. In fact, I’m going to screen shot my win % against the cast to get notes from others.
Hey guys, as a whole I think we should try to help each other in the Dhalsim mirror match. I have a feeling that vs Dhalsim is a weak point for most every Sim player. Sometimes my friends randomly choose Dhalsim against me and usually get very close to winning despite the fact that they don’t know the character. It may help us better understand some of Sim’s weaknesses, as well.
I think that our match-up threads are GREAT. I think that the matchup index thread should be renamed to the Dhalsim Forum Table of Contents and include all valuable threads, then be stickied at the top.
Couldn’t have verbalized it better myself. I’m down for a first to 5 with anybody in this forum =)
Note: Which ultra do you guys use in this mirror? I stick with U1 personally. But I’ve seen Sims go U2, and don’t think it’s a bad decision, I just think U1 has more versatility in general in this matchup.
If we put some thought into it, I’m sure we could make U2 a good choise in a Sim mirror:
-Fireballs have slow recovery and can be ultraed if close enough, or easily by a teleport->ultra if you predict a fireball
-Drills are popular in this match and Im sure they are easily caught by U2
-IAT could probably be ultraed if they are close enough to the ground. I did this once and I remember I did most of the ultra motion the way the other dhalsim was teleporting from, and he landed behind me. I expected the ultra not to come out because the crossup iat had screwed up my inputs, but instead I ended up doing the ultra the wrong way (If I remember correctly). Haven’t gone in to training mode to figure out this, but it would be usefull.
-Some Dhalsim’s refuses to have this matchup be random as well (:P), and they try to stay solid and anti air and react. This can be taken advantage off: If you jump in on another sim and he tries to anti air, this can be ultraed on reaction.
I’ll play some dhalsim mirrors tomorrow afternoon if you want to send me a f/r on xbl. I feel like there’s no real strategy, just IAT as soon as you see your opponent IAT.
hey, i’m a bison player and i’m planning to go to a tournament here in cali soon. i’m trying to identify the options every character can use to shut down the EX Psychocrusher as a getaway option on bison’s wakeup. For example, after the knockdown, ryu has jump in OS DP, chun li can downforward roundhouse and kick from behind, and she also has an OS c.hk or s.hk upon jump in.
What are dhalsim’s options to beat this escape option? If you are extra generous, please let me know how you option select/straight up beat EX Devil’s reverse and teleport as well
Alright I know you’re just copy and pasting the same thing in every character specific forum, but do you really think dhalsim has viable option selects to shut down bison on wake up? He’s a keep away character…
i didn’t think so but it didn’t hurt to try, did it? maybe dhalsim has a way to punish bison’s escape if you knock him down and do U1? although blocking is probably his best option, teleporting might be annoying to get out of this setup.
It really comes down to just waiting for the other person to teleport (in which you can just jump and drill him for free with). If not, continue blocking if they get a pre-emptive fierce while you are still in range of getting hit. It’s kind of hectic up-close cause you’ll be surprised how good Dhalsims grab range is and how he can grab you outside of light kicks range.
I came across Saymandyas(sp?) the other day and played a mirror. Anyone know who this is? I’ve seen the name around. I barely lost but the match was funky.
Its funny how we think we are Sim expects but can’t fight ourselves, lol. In Sim mirrors, i find myself playing out of character. I seem to fall for the basic Sim tactics, like instant overheads and even raw teleports sometimes. I played IplayW1nner at a tournament once in casuals and I literally died to overheads.
isn’t that Satayman or whatever the #1 Sim? He solid, but I don’t know much about him. Unless he just an online guy.
