Who is Dhalsim in Street Fighter 6?
Dhalsim, a character in Street Fighter 6, is a Yoga expert who has developed incredible control over his body. Dhalsim is particularly terrifying because of how unpredictable he is, thanks to his extraordinary ability to stretch his limbs to incredible lengths and breathe fire.
Dhalsim is described as cold and unreadable, although some characters, including Ryu and Cammy in Street Fighter 5, seek him out for training. Dhalsim resigned after a fight in Street Fighter 2, only to return in Street Fighter 4. Since then, he has become a mainstay of the series, with ties to characters ranging from the heroic Guile to the villainous M. Bison.
How to Play Dhalsim in Street Fighter 6
Dhalsim, a playable character in Street Fighter 6, is a master of deception and often defies expectations. He can fight at a distance, breach guards, and close a gap with ease because to his elastic limbs and hard-hitting projectiles. If your opponent tries an air assault, you can easily block it using Dhalsim’s basic moves.
His Yoga Arch is an arching projectile that may be used as a great spacing technique and to keep opponents at bay. With this projectile hanging overhead, regular attacks become less effective. They’ll have to use their wits on the go to outsmart him.
How to Counter Dhalsim
Dhalsim is a tricky opponent because of his agility and arsenal of tricks. Combatants with high movement speed who can quickly close the distance to Dhalsim while dodging his multiple fire strikes will have the best chance of defeating him. Combatants like Cammy, Luke, and Marisa, who can utilize armor effects to rush way down, are particularly well-suited to countering Dhalsim’s trickery.
Strategies for Dhalsim
Dhalsim is more effective at a distance, as he can steadily chip away at his foes’ health with his fire powers. If the enemy gets too near, switch between Dhalsim’s long-range sweep kicks and high assaults to keep them guessing.
- Establish command quickly. At the outset of battle, his Medium Punch, Heavy Punch, and Heavy Kick can damage Dhalsim’s foes. You may quickly establish your dominance and deal significant damage with these attacks.
- Accept the difficulty. Dhalsim’s basic punches and kicks may easily cut through an opponent’s guard and create up a hole for a deadly special move because of his ability to quickly switch between low, mid, and high strikes.
- Ranged attackers, beware! Dhalsim is one of the few long-range fighters in the game, and he is particularly good at maintaining a safe distance from his opponents while slowly draining their health. Keep the bad guys from closing in by using his fireballs and lengthy fists.
