Hot damn, what a sick redesign. It really is amazing how much better beards make everything. Gameplay looks tight as hell too and they are -killing- it with the animations in this game, seriously.

lol yup

give me a full beard on m bison, not that stupid goatee

also slap a white beard on zangief

just make all the sf2 characters older, with white hair, and beards

 

[m_shortpants]

YOUNG ART Is dead

He looks like a great redesign, both gameplay and visually.

 

[DR2K]

wat

All those resources and ideas could have gone to a better character. But they did the best with what they got. Same with Geif and Vega.

 

[vg260]

He looks and plays cool it seems. Another waste of a slot, but whatever.

And last but not least, we have confirmed that Dhalsim will be joining the initial roster as the first true zoning character in the game.

I'm not big on the character design in general, but the bold + a classic character makes this not a waste.

 

[Leafhopper]

Hot Ryu, now Hot Sim.... Ono-san, plz give us more hot SF dudes!

#teambeard

Wasn't Dhalism always...hot?

:v

Don't bother. I don't care for Dhalism myself but, I am not going to cry that X character didn't get in over X.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

nice

 

[NEO0MJ]

Thinking about it I feel they should have saved the past character review for the last character. oh well.

 

[Lulubop]

nice

Is that Sally and his son right there?

 

[Off-Kilter]

By far his best design my god

 

[Pompadour]

lol yup

Why would you put on a beard on one of the best chins in gaming?

 

[Prototype]

Man watched it again, I've never been a fan of Sim , but damn if he doesn't look as good as he ever has. The animation is amazing.

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

Fuck , they actually made Dhalsim look badass.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Also I'm down for more Beard Fighter.

 

[Swarna]

Seems like all his mechanics and abilities are tailored towards him being a grey-damage high-pressure machine.

Also:

 

[Saint Gregory]

The last original character may end up being the boss unless he/she isn't playable at first. That may be why they handled the reveal this way.

 

[biosnake20]

Dhalmammu

 

[Crocodile]

Dhalism looks a lot more "human" for lack of a better word. Still exaggerated but in a more palatable way if that makes any sense. I approve. Also seems to have a lot of crazy moves

 

[Baleoce]

Beautiful.

I can hear Arturo's "YOOO aaaAAAaaaa" from all the way over here.

I was thinking the exact same thing xD

 

[Omega]

gotta say i was disappointed when he was leaked, but it looks like Sim might not be boring as fuck

I would have had a different roster but this game is shaping up nicely. I'll just have to pretend they're new characters since they play differently

 

[Red Liquorice]

He looks great, and glad he's included he deserves his spot and I've been playing Sim since WW.

I really love what they're doing with classic characters like Bison, Sim and Gief, it gives me hope for other "anticlimactic" returns like Guile etc - they're bound to receive a fresh coat of paint but still should retain what makes them, them.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Whoa! He looks awesome.

 

[Heypoppy]

I guess I'm the only one that's sick of world warrior characters...

 

[BizzyBum]

Old Sim for Old Art.. perfect

 

[vulva]

I guess I'm the only one that's sick of world warrior characters...

Then play 3s with the other five people left and let others be happy

 

[Vex_]

They need to give every character a beard now. Even the women.

Just make it beard fighter V

 

[kodecraft]

He finally looks great, turban + beard = best Dhalsim.

 

[BoSox06DH]

I never used Sim in SF4. I was disappointed initially when it seemed Sim was the next character reveal. But, I've been swayed. I'm planning on using him since he really, really looks amazing to use.

 

[Mudcrab]

Fuck yes what a great design!

 

[jerry1594]

Alright found a main. He looks so sick.

 

[Numb]

Wish Gief got anything.
Even having full hair instead of a mohawk would be cool.

 

[Mizerman]

Well now...

Dhalsim is rocking a beard.

 

[alba]

An amazing redesign. Loving this.

 

[DasPrints]

Nice makeover. I wonder why his marking aren't consistent, though.





Muscle power!

The one you can see on his legs in the top picture are on the back of his legs in the bottom picture. Vice versa for his arm markings. The marks are consistent he just doesn't have them on both sides of his limbs. If what you meant was why his markings are present in some pictures and absent in others.

 

[Veal]

Looks like I'll be playing Dhalsim in V. This is THE first time this character has ever appealed to me.

 

[Fersis]

Wish Gief got anything.
Even having full hair instead of a mohawk would be cool.

Well, he already had a beard!

 

[Nose Master]

So the Flame Carpet is a DoT. Huh.

EDIT: Well, not a DoT. It just does persistent damage as they stand in it.

 

[ViciousAnchovy]

So, was Dhalsim officially called "Sim" in some version of one of the games, or is "Sim" just slang?

 

[Gren]

Just slang. Like Rog or Gief.

 

[FSLink]

Shorthand slang.

 

[16BitNova]

DAT BEARD
DAT TURBAN
DAT INDIA STAGE

...dat boring ass super.

Seriously this game has a whack mix of cool and dull supers. It's like Capcom know people will expand the meter for EX moves that they didn't bother with some of them XP

Well based on the trailer you cant tell if its his Super. Could be his V trigger.

 

[Baroquemantic]

He looks amazing. Game looks amazing.

 

[Ronabo]

Yoga Beard!

 

[mrmickfran]

Well, I was kinda disappointed at first, but then I watched the trailer. Hovers, teleport shenanigans, a good CA and by the looks of things a flame carpet? It turns out we're not really getting dhalsim, instead...

The power of the-
The power of the-
The power of the-

 

[Kyuur]

Quite possibly one of the greatest redesigns I've seen art-wise. Looks great.

 

[Tizoc]

Well based on the trailer you cant tell if its his Super. Could be his V trigger.

There was a close up of him, of course it's his super.
We already saw his V-trigger before that; it's Yoga Stream from SFA3.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Looks great. Such a creative character.

 

[FSLink]

Well based on the trailer you cant tell if its his Super. Could be his V trigger.

It's his super. Here's his V-Skill and V-Trigger:

V-Skill: Yoga Float
Upon activation Dhalsim hops into the air and floats for a few seconds. During this time, all airborne attacks and specials are accessible. This can also be activated in the air.

V-Trigger: Yoga Burner
Dhalsim shoots out a stream of flames that stays on the screen on the floor for an extended period of time. If the opponent stands in the flames, they will slowly lose life in the form of recoverable damage. Once they step out of the flames, their life will begin to recover.

 

[NEO0MJ]

The last original character may end up being the boss unless he/she isn't playable at first. That may be why they handled the reveal this way.

That's why I think it would be more fitting.

The one you can see on his legs in the top picture are on the back of his legs in the bottom picture. Vice versa for his arm markings. The marks are consistent he just doesn't have them on both sides of his limbs. If what you meant was why his markings are present in some pictures and absent in others.

Aha, I see.

 

[Nzyme32]

Totally digging the Dhalsim design. Looks fantastic. Exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for. Shame some of the other characters are pretty meh

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hope Auturo Sanchez recorded a reaction video.
