After being double perfect’d I give a ton of credit to Daigo for adapting and making this a really great contest. Watching someone use Dhalsim to near optimal effect is extremely satisfying.
not........nearly optimal i don't see any of them sim combos i see everywhere but then again this guy already has unreal levels of awareness you can't have everything i fear the day that this guy finds out about the 7.5k dmg corner combos sim has............
I was thinking this. It's subtle, but there's a point where it seemed like the exact distance from which he could safely jump in and not get anti aired.
The reason why Daigo is called "The Beast" is not only because of his ruthlessness or calmness but also his adaptivity to different opponents and fighting styles, and ability to evolve against his opponent during the match. That's why he almost never loses in long matches.
@zackmilder9504To be fair, for grand finals it's possible for Daigo to come in on Winners side and this would just reset the brackets, so you never know.
@zackmilder9504That's not how it works, the guy you encounter at the evo final is usually well known and you had time to analyze his gameplay. That's why at the end of the day people you see wining major tournaments aren't #1 in online ladders, being good online and offline are 2 different things
@zackmilder9504Really smh? No disrespect but you don't know what you are talking about. Common sense says it's too early to be talking about somebody being in trouble for EVO.
Watching Daigo literally study and adapt to an opponent is something I never get tired of watching. Especially when he just closes the space and beats the absolute shit out of a zone character like Dhalsim.
@@nomadred5847 oh for sure. Great use of the character to zone someone like that by Sim but you gotta be so damn patient to play that type of game. I was rooting for Daigo to get it done haha
Sim is cheap piece of shit ever since they gave him float and ability to change the timing of his moves and movement, essentially a game breaking character, which defies the physics of the traditional game. And yes I will want to hear any rebuttal you might have. Because you know I am right.
people keep talking about how Diago adapted and not understanding the star of this video is Dhalsim. That character is ridiculously hard to use compared to Ken. This was crazy impressive what he was doing with Dhalsim and people are just looking right past that. fan mentality!
I have no experience of SF6, SF4 was the last one I played. I watched a lot of SF4 tournaments and I am just back for some SF6 to get updated. When you say hard to play do you mean link, combo, special execution then it is generally not a main concern for a professional tournament player... at least not most of the time. But if you are talking about lack of options, especially matched with some type of characters like close distance, aggressive ones such as Cammy, Akuma, etc... that one I can emphasize with. I also admire players that play partially handicapped characters. But, I have a different angle to offer to you, Daigo wins all the time mentality is a hell of a mistake and as time passes more and more. I root for Daigo just because of guess what... for his age handicap. He is just 20 years older than most of his challengers and this is certainly not a game for the old
OP is 100% right, it's tough for Dhalsim to land 30 hits even at long range to Ken's 10 hits at medium range. Much less do that 5 times in a row (including 2 perfects!) against one of the best Ken players!
Back in the original arcade SF2, I used to piss everyone off at the arcade with my Dhalsim. I'd play for 2 hours straight and no one could knock me off. The only character at the time that would give me fits sometimes was a very good Guile. Ken and Ryu were the easiest to defeat with Dhalsim.
@@YoungHaveNot Nice so you countered novaangelus' point with the exact same point they made but using a synonym for adapt -.- If he "adjusted" he adapted, stop being pedantic. The comment you replied to was a bit rosy so I see where you're coming from though. Daigo got beat for sure. He did start to find openings and compete at least though
@mrsurprise2294 Chipping has pros and cons. In one way it caters to zone specialists but in another way, the absence of chip damage enables turtles. It's much harder to not get hit by attacks completely instead of just turtling up.
The coolest thing about Daigo is he still competes at a high level despite his age. I grew up in the scene playing in many SF and Tekken tourneys back in the day. Now at 44 I have a hard time with reaction speed. It's awesome to see him adjust and still be able yo compete
Age doesn't have that much of an effect as long as you continue with the craft. If he stopped playing for a few years and then came back, you would see a more obvious decline, but continued play will prevent an obvious decline.
Maybe the government will give you MIB-626 then you would have no problem. Don't tell anyone I told you the name of something that isn't out yet for public lol
That dahlism was insane!!! Best Dahlism I have seen. Watching Diago deal with this character was amazing too, awesome matches! Respect to both players, very entertaining!!
I grew up playing Street Fighter 2 and over 30 years ago I first played at the corner store they had one arcade game. I’m glad to see the game still kept it roots through all the decades 👍
If you go back to playing Street Fighter 4 online you will see that there are excellent players playing Dalshim. You realize that you are going to lose at the beginning of the game due to the number of combos your opponent can make with your character.
I love that moment when you can tell Diago is in the zone and just starts demolishing his opponent, stringing incredible combos together and there's nothing his opponent can do. The worst thing someone can do is let Diago get some momentum going
Nice to see how the dhalsim player is so far ahead that after his 2xperfects he just chills out so that the newbie has a chance. When Dhalsim saw that daigo was no treat, i am asuming he startede to play much more relaxed, may one handed or something.
It just shows you what a good Dhalsim player can do. He can totally control the distance and has a lot of tools. Daigo was figuring him out. You can see him progressively taking the upper hand during the match.
Quite a match, daigos catching up reading was really well done. The moves were so on point and on the spot. The dhalsim player was pretty good, but defintely was a pattern player and knowledgeable of the game. Quite a match and many times daigo should have had the player, but that super giant fireball tripped him up two or three times. Dhalsim is such a contender in SF6, and that's even without resorting to patterns.
Lmao that wasn’t the intention. I didn’t want to put #1 in Japan in the title because I wasn’t sure if it would show the entire title in the previews when people are browsing. that’s why I put it in the description 😎
What a stressful match to watch, I feel as though I was in it. As a Ryu main, I take a deep breath every time I see Dhalsim come up on the screen. I know I'll need all my patience, all my attention, all my carefulness, and all my mental resources to deal with him. You gotta play the long game, and punish every mistake consistently. By the time I'm done, I just feel spent. Such a hard match-up for Ryu.
@@lessonman_3961 Hm... well, I don't know that Ryu DOES anything better. I can tell you Ryu's fireballs can hit Ken's tatsu (whereas Ken's fireballs do not hit Ryu's tatsu), for example, there are a few things like this going on. But I play Ryu because I've been maining him since 1992 when I started playing SFII. I like the lore of the character, his story and mythos. I like his style, his journey of self-improvement, his respect towards adversaries (whom he sees not as enemies, but opponents who can teach him something even when he loses a fight), his take on life, and his personal philosophy. Personally, I just relate to him more. But there's nothing wrong with Ken, I've played, and play, with him from time to time, he's fast, and aggressive, great if you want to apply speed and fierce dynamics to your gameplay. But I ended up maining Ryu more for his character and overall style. Doesn't mean he's better. In fact, often it's been the opposite: historically, Ryu has never, I think, been considered an S-tier character in the SF franchise.
I hate playing Ryu lol, 90% of you guys don't block, y'all jump around like maniacs. It's free damage for me but damn you guys don't have any fear waking up jumping and jabbing.
I can appreciate a great Dhalsim player, cause I'm brushing up on him myself and to do all those move and string up combos with the slowest yet most flexible (in more ways then one lol) character in the lineup, is amazing to see!!! 💯
Daigo in a nutshell: A)First and/or second round - analysis B)If you perfect him - expect a manual Raging Demon somewhere in the next rounds C)If he gets a pixel life - 80% chance the round will last longer than expected and he'll win
Really love finally Daigo playing Ken. And we can see several clips with different opponents he lose. I guess he still learnings. And really wonder how OP if he played Guile.
Well he literally has it all. Teleport, grab, hover, fireball, his kit doesn’t end. If you know how to use him like this guy you can really put the pressure on and not let them breathe. He is hard to punish so he can just keep attacking because some of his moves act as passive defense. And the reach on this guy is not fair imo.
The second round of the fifth fight was my favorite. The technical skill between the two is amazing. Great match! Would luv to see more. Well done. I could only imagine being that talented. And I’m a decent player. Just not in their class. Kudos. They could both win tournaments. Would be a great finals matchup.
This video deserves a Like. I enjoyed watching this. That Dhalsim is a madman. Ken adapted great, especially after that first match, but Dhlasim still proved masterful.
Very cool, it is a nice highlight of dhalsim and you can see ken beginning to adapt to the playstyle as the match goes on. Those wakeup supers are tough to punish it looks like if you are too close, which is what dhalsims keep away trains the opponent to want to do. Really entertaining
In the first two rounds where Diago is perfected, I think it woulda been wise to use Drive Impact. Infact, Drive Impact against Dhalsim would be a great strategy.
Dhalsim is at least A tier if not S. He's very technical but has tools to answer everything. He just needs to time his spacing right and many of his pokes are + if placed correctly.. not to mention his magnetic throw that felt like it's sucking you in.
This is why Dhalsim is my main Even though I am nowhere near that level with him(because I never had the time to really study his stuff) I know he is versatile as hell and can be a freaking beast I hope to have the time to really learn the character and get good with him
What are you even talking about? Dhalsim is a great character in SF6. Always high ranked in most of the tier lists, even higher than Ken in some of them.
There is no tier list anymore bc of SF6. Any character can win. They all have pros and cons and are all fairly matched depending on how good the user is. Perhaps there are less talented users for certain characters but all the characters are capable.
@@cagethelonewolf Not being popular doesn't mean it's bad. There are characters that are way more cool than Dhalsim. Ken, Ryu, Chun Li, Cammy... I rather play with a character that I think it's cool than a character I think it's busted. I guess 80% of the community thinks this way.
Daigo studies and fights real time. Dhalism guy was impressive too, but he plays a certain way where it just looks like he’s memorized how to cheese. Daigo watches his spacing and baits his opponent, but Dhalism is just a powerhouse that can do it all. I mean he’s almost impossible to punish because his kit is so freaking cheese.
@@Ytremz exactly he makes it look easy cheesy. Very good player no doubt, but come on that’s just shutting down everything while not relenting. Very fun to watch, but It made me want to root against him lol.
Even though Daigo lost, it felt like he was the better player. Sure, he choked at match point, which is something he has been doing more over the years. But it didn't diminish the fact that he demonstrated real-time adaptation, reads and discovery of better answers to Sim's moves like an anime protagonist.
Ken has to do too many things to get into Dhalsim. And Dhalsim just needs to use his long distance pokes and teleport out to escape or in to do a combo. It feels unfair for Ken, who needs more skill to win these matches, but a win is a win.
@@Dragonflyetclmao it’s the same level of skill both ways. It is hard to keep Ken out as Dhalsim plus Ken has a variety of tools in his kit and regarded top 5 by most pro players. More buttons to hit doesn’t equate to more skill.
@@user-wy1et9dk9wThis isn’t exactly correct. There are simply MORE players in EU and NA. Traditionally, Japanese players have shown some of the highest execution levels, dedication, and fundamental skill. There’s a reason that most SF legends are from the East. But by the Law of Large Numbers, yes, you are technically correct.
I would love to agree but it’s actually not easy to be a good sim player. I think hes actually fine but this sim is insanely good and probably has faced hundreds of good kens unlike daugo who doesnt face sim as often as other characters is guess. Another point is that ken is probably a bad matchup fir sim but im not too sure.
@bigboyfinesse8310 dude I could just stand with my back to the wall waiting for your move my reach would smoke you its simple that's why pros don't use these type of characters he was op in sf 5 and he's even worse now I dojt care about pros I'm playing the game online and all I fave is cowards sitting in the corner game is 0 for me
Nothing is hard playing him except actually putting this stuff into practice. If the play style and mindset doesn’t come somewhat naturally or if you are not experienced learning the nuances of this character it is very difficult. Why do you think there are so few dhalsim players in almost every version of this game

C)If he gets a pixel life - 80% chance the round will last longer than expected and he'll win
The #1 ranked Dhalsim is Mister Crimson.
That might have been my favorite set of street fighter I’ve ever watched!! Bravo guys!!
Really love finally Daigo playing Ken. And we can see several clips with different opponents he lose. I guess he still learnings. And really wonder how OP if he played Guile.
Dhalsim is a monster when is well used 😮
You just described every characters.
Well he literally has it all. Teleport, grab, hover, fireball, his kit doesn’t end. If you know how to use him like this guy you can really put the pressure on and not let them breathe. He is hard to punish so he can just keep attacking because some of his moves act as passive defense. And the reach on this guy is not fair imo.
Yes his reach is fair you nitwit. Ken's corner carry isnt
@@stern2701 Is there a charcter without grab?
Dhalsim low damage.
The second round of the fifth fight was my favorite. The technical skill between the two is amazing. Great match! Would luv to see more. Well done. I could only imagine being that talented. And I’m a decent player. Just not in their class. Kudos. They could both win tournaments. Would be a great finals matchup.
holy shit that dood is badass with dhalsim
This video deserves a Like. I enjoyed watching this. That Dhalsim is a madman. Ken adapted great, especially after that first match, but Dhlasim still proved masterful.
This guy Dhalsin skills are sick, but Daigo is really a Beast 😅
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 that's the best dhalsim player I believe I've seen yet! Hella good match!
His technique is God tier Amazing 💪🏾😱
This was the first SF6 video I've actually enjoyed.
Damn, that 10:18 combo was awesome
What a marvelous cenario look at the lion back behind 09:48
Never knew Dalsim could be this strong.
It depends on the player
Yeah and it always takes for a pro player too show that instead of ya know.. experimenting with characters on ya own?
Very cool, it is a nice highlight of dhalsim and you can see ken beginning to adapt to the playstyle as the match goes on.
Those wakeup supers are tough to punish it looks like if you are too close, which is what dhalsims keep away trains the opponent to want to do.
Really entertaining
In the first two rounds where Diago is perfected, I think it woulda been wise to use Drive Impact. Infact, Drive Impact against Dhalsim would be a great strategy.
Good idea. But, it's impossible to think of that while you play.
@@morninglift1253 I'm sure Diago has a billion and one strategies. But it's top of mind for me
Sims yoga flame beats DI free
@@macgawain3645 But still gives him something to think about
Wow Dhalism upgrade.
I’m impressed how your defensive movements against Ken, generates an attack at his vulnerabilities.
I
Wow didn't know Dhalsim could be this obnoxious to go against
It’s been like this for almost 10 years
Always has been.
Check out ST or sf4.
It's like if zoning required effort in a fighting game
@EdgieAlias obviously skillful as hell, just boring to watch.
love the count down at the end
Two perfects!?! That was an insane match! SALUTE
That match 2 adjustment after match 1 was amazing. Daigo is one of the Goats
a good dhalsim is so annoying
Dhalsim is at least A tier if not S. He's very technical but has tools to answer everything. He just needs to time his spacing right and many of his pokes are + if placed correctly.. not to mention his magnetic throw that felt like it's sucking you in.
Man do I love a good zoning Dhalism. The sweet science of controlling space, mind games, and trickery
Ken getting hit by the wake up super makes me happy
Hahahhaha
Holy hell that Dhalsim is incredible!
Wow that’s a great game. Kudos to Daigon that learns and evolves during a game, but that Dhalsim was actually the Beast!
That's what I was thinking
This is why Dhalsim is my main
Even though I am nowhere near that level with him(because I never had the time to really study his stuff) I know he is versatile as hell and can be a freaking beast
I hope to have the time to really learn the character and get good with him
aways nice to watch High level Dhalsin matches
Double perfect 💀
I loved these matches! Absolutely beautiful play!
This match shows how useful are tier lists.
What are you even talking about? Dhalsim is a great character in SF6. Always high ranked in most of the tier lists, even higher than Ken in some of them.
There is no tier list anymore bc of SF6. Any character can win. They all have pros and cons and are all fairly matched depending on how good the user is. Perhaps there are less talented users for certain characters but all the characters are capable.
No? How many dalishims you think Diageo fought, man needed a match to learn
@@cagethelonewolf Not being popular doesn't mean it's bad. There are characters that are way more cool than Dhalsim. Ken, Ryu, Chun Li, Cammy... I rather play with a character that I think it's cool than a character I think it's busted. I guess 80% of the community thinks this way.
@@GustavoRevz who
Damn, this was really satisfying to watch! Thank you!
Daigo studies and fights real time. Dhalism guy was impressive too, but he plays a certain way where it just looks like he’s memorized how to cheese. Daigo watches his spacing and baits his opponent, but Dhalism is just a powerhouse that can do it all. I mean he’s almost impossible to punish because his kit is so freaking cheese.
This is Torimesi we’re talking about… he’s literally godlike with Dhalsim.
@@Ytremz exactly he makes it look easy cheesy. Very good player no doubt, but come on that’s just shutting down everything while not relenting. Very fun to watch, but It made me want to root against him lol.
Amazing control of both of them. Nice video.
Even though Daigo lost, it felt like he was the better player. Sure, he choked at match point, which is something he has been doing more over the years. But it didn't diminish the fact that he demonstrated real-time adaptation, reads and discovery of better answers to Sim's moves like an anime protagonist.
Nah.... the better player, is the winner.
Ken has to do too many things to get into Dhalsim. And Dhalsim just needs to use his long distance pokes and teleport out to escape or in to do a combo. It feels unfair for Ken, who needs more skill to win these matches, but a win is a win.
@@Dragonflyetclmao it’s the same level of skill both ways. It is hard to keep Ken out as Dhalsim plus Ken has a variety of tools in his kit and regarded top 5 by most pro players. More buttons to hit doesn’t equate to more skill.
More like garbage player 😂
damnnnn ... perfect'ing daigo 2 rounds in a row .. damnnnn
Isn't Mistah Crimson #1 with like 70k LP?
who care?DID YOU SEE THAT DOUBLE PERFECT?
That's correct but Torimeshi is rank #1 in Japan (and rank #3 worldwide on Dhalsim Leaderboard).
06:12...08:40...10:17...such great predictions by Daigo. Incredibly close match anyway.
1st Dhalsim is Mister Crimson and yes it's important 😉
Correct. Torimeshi is #3 in the world but #1 in Japan.
@@Xuses and #1 in Japan it's very important 😉😉😉😉
@@air99flare that is like #1 in universe, lmao
@@air99flareI mean… Japanese lose to top players in EU and US frequently, there are just better players in general over there
@@user-wy1et9dk9wThis isn’t exactly correct.
There are simply MORE players in EU and NA. Traditionally, Japanese players have shown some of the highest execution levels, dedication, and fundamental skill. There’s a reason that most SF legends are from the East. But by the Law of Large Numbers, yes, you are technically correct.
dam the first round that boy was cooking! Yoga!
hard to find the lights were on but no1 was home lol
Crimson is the 1st dhalsim but torimesi is insane 🤝
Always amazed watching good dhalsim players
Dhalsim is a joke tbf its a boring play style nothing is hard playing him his reach is stupid
I would love to agree but it’s actually not easy to be a good sim player. I think hes actually fine but this sim is insanely good and probably has faced hundreds of good kens unlike daugo who doesnt face sim as often as other characters is guess. Another point is that ken is probably a bad matchup fir sim but im not too sure.
@bigboyfinesse8310 dude I could just stand with my back to the wall waiting for your move my reach would smoke you its simple that's why pros don't use these type of characters he was op in sf 5 and he's even worse now I dojt care about pros I'm playing the game online and all I fave is cowards sitting in the corner game is 0 for me
@@nathanjones6145 Blud said sitting in the corner. Yeah, you definitely use modern controls lmao.
Nothing is hard playing him except actually putting this stuff into practice. If the play style and mindset doesn’t come somewhat naturally or if you are not experienced learning the nuances of this character it is very difficult. Why do you think there are so few dhalsim players in almost every version of this game
@UFACIL use mouse and keyboard actually on classic actually im somewhat sort of cammy player I like to experiment:)
That Sim was scary asf. Like perfection of the character already
