Sims has always been the most unique play style on the roster. Seems to be happening again.

Love the beard and happy to see sim is returning, have always enjoyed being on either side of his zoning game.
Gonna assume 3s fans are furious "cuz necro is way better" or something.

Me too. SF5 is missing a lot of things, but having salty as fuck sim players around again is great for the overall entertainment value.
Bring on the first rush down character DLC reveal!

So like the way Dhalsim looked originally made him look like a corpse monster right? So the idea was that his opponents would be so afraid of him that they wouldn't want to fight him, which is consistent with his views of pacifism. Also I got the impression that he barely wore any clothes because they're a fire hazard. It's not like it's a cultural thing because everyone else in his village including his wife dresses like a human and not a corpse monster.
Did I just make that up to justify his design to myself? Or is that a thing? Because a friendly Santa beard and turbin ruin that.
I guess what I'm saying is that say what you want about say Ken's redesign, him dressing in more high tech athletic gear makes sense for his character. This not so much. You could say that Sim can't help getting older (like Bison) but uh... he could just keep shaving.

Both of his designs just look like an Indian Sadhu to me.

Ahh, that makes sense. If that was the intent, I guess the redesign is more accurate then.

Really digging his new style.

His flames aren't real. They are a trick, if his win quote in IV is anything to go by.
"My flames are an illusion. They will only burn if you believe them to be real."

That's really cool! Although it does fit with the "looking scarier to fool people" thing. He's like Batman! But less violent and crazy. But with more dead children.
He wouldn't be so boring if he has giant tits and a sexy swimsuit instead of a big beard and torn pants.
Saw this thread and instantly said "Dhalsim? F that shit" out loud.
<Opened thread> Well, at least he looks a little different and has a beard.
Most of the other characters like Mika, Karin, and Rashid looked fun to play in the reveals. Dhalsim looked slow, plodding, and boring.
He is.

He is.
He plays nothing like Dhalsim and wouldn't be a replacement. Doesn't matter how dope or how much better people think necro is, he doesn't cover the niche Dhalsim does.

Well they should have seen a long time ago that this game is all about Alpha characters, not III. Hope for DLC or SFVI in eight years. Ha ha.
Ha.

True. I think they did a great job with everyone that changed, even Ken. They just made his face and hair strange.
Gief am cry.
If he was in the announcement like Chun and not came after some redesigns i think he would have gotten less heat.
They've already said there's a reason some characters got a re-design and some didn't. I'm guessing there's a floating timeline in the story mode.
Oh, I didn't say he did. The statement was whether Necro was "better" which is totally subject to opinion but I think he is and would have been a "better", fun, and more interesting choice.
If it was a matter of covering niche's then it wouldn't be out of range or character to give Necro a projectile, teleport, and longer standard move set.
And fuck it, give him a beard since that's all it takes to get GAF's panties in a bunch
ofcourse. He does look much older with the face but won't see it after the select screen. Everyone is older tho.
If everyone gets a beard then Zangief should get his removed.
Gief is secretly Hulk?haha
Also reminds me of Haggar and how badly i want the fella.
That's an interesting way to explain why he's super stretchy + defies gravity + breathes fire + can teleport. I wish he had some sort of Super that's clearly him casting some elaborate illusion on his opponent, like sending them into a fiery inferno.

Basically saying make necro Dhalsim, which makes nobody happy.
This is exactly why the sf2 cast is used so much. Why make up or force shit on to other characters when you've already got the archetype covered.
My point is that you can love necro all you want, but it's not a choice between necro and Dhalsim. It never would be. Dhalsim is a true zoner, necro isn't. Both being stretchy doesn't mean anything when it comes to how they play.
To early to say, but they made Vega have viable Rushdown so they will likely do the same to Dhalsim since this is Rushdown Fighter V ft. long recovery projectiles.

I believe everything comes from yoga and meditation. He actually teleports and stretches and stuff, just the fire is a trick. But I mean you can't make real fire just from doing a lot of yoga, that's ridiculous.
It's almost like in a different game characters become different.

Not all of us can forget the death of innocents so easily.
So I just looked up Sadhu on Google images...
do they really tie their junk into knots around a stick?
I thought the fire was just an illusion, it's not real fire, but kinetic energy giving the appearance of fire, like Ken's Shoryu.
One of them has held up their right hand for 38 years straight.

I would have rather had Necro than Sim, but the days of 4 out of 19 characters not from street fighter II is over.
