"Yoga noogie that poop." Dhalsim General Discussion

^ Even in vanilla you could combo into bnb from rh drill if spaced/timed right. Better recovery should just make that more useful.

You obviously can’t do Rufus level crazy divekick pressure, but you can do Sim’s bootleg version of it and it works pretty well. As long as you pay attention to the spacing and hit them in the knee or below, you will be able to block a reversal or tech a throw. And yeah they DO link, much easier than before. Like in vanilla you had to hit their friggin toenail to be able to link, but now if you catch them in the shin or below you’re good.

And I have to agree w/ Adnan. Sim got EXACTLY what he needed. The Yoga Flame buffs make a world of difference, and I’m surprised at how much difference the buffs to his normals make. Like I had a Viper down to a tiny bit of health left, an amount I’ve seen a thousand times in vanilla where a j.mp isn’t quite enough to finish her off, but in super it did. Kinda threw me off when she died. And Yoga Shangri-La is the business. I don’t care if it isn’t the best for a particular matchup, I will never use Ultra 1 again. The “DONG” sound at the end is awesome, I need to keep hearing it.

I reread this three times over. Damn I can’t wait to get my copy.

even better
since u have a long range drills :wink:

woot #1 with sim online and the only player in B rank
love sim :slight_smile:

Good shit, Adnan! I usually play Sim against you, but the last few times I played you in Vanilla you countered so I went w/Guy when we played. You straight murdered me. Keep it up, son!

So finally got a chance to play super. U2 is awesome, you can still do all the traps U1 can do, I’d like to see what matchups it’ll end up being really good in. One thing that I’ve figured out is that Chun’s EX spinning bird beats it. I’m not sure if she can do it on reaction but I tried it as it was still active.

Abel player here trying to learn Dhalsim. What do? I just played a Seth a minute ago and I didn’t know what the hell I was supposed to do. Just kept dive kicking me lol.

I think I can do alreight with him with a bit of practice but could somebody please tell me how to do his insta air teleport? And also what’s his best meterless punish? Is it cr.fp cr.mk lp. flame ?

For the IAT what i do is a shoryuken motion ending in a up/forward motion and waiting a split second. Obviously there are variations, but thats what i use. It works 100% for me. I would suggest going to the IAT thread, atleast im pretty sure theres an IAT thread. Been awhile since i have signed in i usually just lurk for info. As for a good meterless punish i usually go for b.HP to MP. flame i think its 210? damage in super correct me if I’m wrong guys. Ending in super if you have it obviously.

I’m just loving U2. They like to neutral jump on wake up to get out of IAT shenanigans? Not when you have U2.

Has anyone tried an instant U2 on wakeup? When I had people jumping in on me for an attack, it seemed like there was a window where their attack would whiff and U2 would come out right after recovery and punish them as soon as they hit the ground. Granted, this only work when people were jumping in and doing normals, not in the case of something like a Psycho Crusher etc… Any confirmation on whether this is a viable strategy, or am I just playing against idiots?

Its doable, but U2 isnt a reversal, you have to leave the ground, and if the opponent times his jumpin right, you can’t punnish him with U2

what’s everyone using as a tk input for instant U2?

I havent even begun to touch U2. Right now, I’m happy with catastrophe.

^ Boo for you! You should start tonight. I put that ish on Luger during casuals on Sat. Vega has so much recovery after blocked/dodged flying attacks. U2 for free, baby!

:qcf::qcf::uf::3p:
or
:qcf::qcf::ub::3p:

qcf x2 ending in uf +ppp

basically IAT variation starting with qcf instead of f

edit: got ninja’d

I’m not going to make it tonight, Ive had some kind of flu for a week. Lets try to do some matches before next RR, though.

Okay thanks, that’s what i’ve been doing but i though there might be something quicker.

so what’s generally the best setup for U2? i can do the IAU2, but not sure in what situation i should be doing it. matchup specific?
