Character Overview
A pure zoner relying on spatial denial and evasive repositioning.
Dhalsim’s long limbs and teleport game create a wall of control. He wins by frustrating opponents into mistakes, then punishing with high-damage Yoga Float setups and drills.
Key Strengths
- Full-Screen Control: Dominates long-range exchanges.
- Teleport Utility: Can escape corner pressure or create ambiguous cross-ups.
- Anti-Air Options: Multiple reliable anti-airs covering every angle.
Key Weaknesses
- Floaty Defense: Slow jump arc makes him vulnerable to air-to-airs and corner traps.
- Close Combat: Weak buttons when pressured at point-blank range.
- Execution: Requires mastery of instant air inputs and float physics.
Counter-Strategy
Advance behind Parry and occupy the space left by his recovering limbs. Punish teleports with delayed buttons. After a knockdown, maintain meaty pressure to stop him from floating or sliding out, then cycle between throws and short frame traps.
