"Known for his atypically long limbs that are used to pester opponents from a distance, Dhalsim has been given the added benefit of combo potential thanks to the Cross Rush system giving him access to chains that allow him to easily confirm into a full combo. Whereas his close range normals were originally only accessible via holding back during hit buttons, they are instead tied to normal inputs while the “zoom” variants of those normals are reserved for F or DF. His teleport is still a very strong tool that allows him quick escapes from any situation that could lead to a crack in his defense, and his teleport can be Tiger Knee’d to lead to an instant overhead guessing game from the front or the back. Even if the opponents block, he can still cancel into a Yoga Fire that put the situation back in neutral, at which point Dhalsim can begin his next point of attack. However, he relies heavily on the Cross Rush system as his solo combo potential is quite limited. Dhalsim is best used in the front as his zoning can set the tone for the rest of the match and put pressure on the opponent to mount an offense significant enough to make up for how much time was lost trying to get in on him. In the meantime, Dhalsim should be able to create an opening where his partner can finish things off in ways that he cannot." | |||

Dhalsim
Ideal Team Position: Point
Dhalsim is a very mature and disciplined man. He is a pacifist but for some reason is one of the most recognizable Street Fighter characters. In this game, Dhalsim is partnered with Sagat.
I think we all know how Dhalsim plays by now, but I'll go over it anyways. Dhalsim is a keepway/zoning character. He has extremely long range normals, good special moves make to keep them out, and pretty much everything you'd want in a keepaway character. However, Dhalsim is lacking in literally every other aspect. His health is awful, his jumps are extremely floaty, he has terrible dashes and slow walkspeed, he doesn't do much damage, and doesn't have very much combo potential. Dhalsim relies on partners to cover his many weaknesses. However, what he does, he does well and can be a very valuable teammate since his keepaway is so good.
