Dhalsim

Although greatly opposed to violence and its antithetical nature to his yoga practices, Dhalsim has become one of the most powerful warriors on the Street Fighter circuit thanks to his intense training, meditation, and practice with the yoga arts. Originally, he entered Street Fighting as a means to financially save his village from an epidemic but, after discovering the corruption and evils behind the workings of the circuit, Dhalsim has vowed to purge the world of these evils and continues to fight as a means to that end.

In a nutshell

The epitome of the keep-away character. As always, Dhalsim is designed to consistently punish and anger his opponents, then use their frustration to lead them into a fatal mistake that costs them the round. To that end, he utilizes the immensely long range of his limbs to control his opponent's movements and keep them locked in the corner. With his Yoga Fire and extremely slow jump, Dhalsim can also fake out his opponents with a sudden Yoga Teleport that can potentially lead into a shocking mixup. The price of this strategy is that Dhalsim is forever cursed with one of the slowest movement speeds of any character, as well as one of the lowest stamina amounts in the game. One must have a very calculating mindset and quick reflexes when playing Dhalsim, and always remember that you can keep the opponent out for 90 seconds, only for them to suddenly get in and win in 9. Such is the life of Dhalsim players.
