Yes, I have, and all lack the sheer kick-ass that is Dhalsim.

I've been playing SFII since I was a young lad, and I love me my Dhalsim. No one can come close to him in this love.
Good to know someone plays as him. I just don't see the appeal, which has worried me about him. Until now, of course.
Some dude won a huge tournament playing as Dhalsim. It was pretty insane.

Listen scrub. There are ways to get around people who spam fireballs and uppercuts. It takes time and practice to learn these moves and be able to implement them into a fight but it is possible to beat people who only play as ken, ryu, etc. Also, go play a game and try to spam fireballs all match and time them so that the other player cant avoid its acutally more difficult then you might think to never miss a single fireball.

I'm surprised Ken is still used that much...he's such a low tier character in SFIV, and Ryu has a very similar moveset.

He's definitely a niche character, and not one that most people would choose first. The zoning power he has though just... I don't even know, it gives me goosebumps.

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but is this game worth getting, if you are only going to play it with a regular Xbox 360 controller? Because I really want a decent 2D fighter, but don't want my experience to be diminished by the fact that I am not properly equipped to play it.

The "Shotos" are not the problem... i can't get the Charger down (Guile, Blanka, Honda)... and i have over 5000 matches now. Blanka is damn unstoppable for me... i am just too slow (cry)

Ah well. Good luck *g*

He got major buffs in super. He's actually viable now. In fact the only 'bad' character nowadays is Dan, who was never supposed to be good anyway.

TC, ummm don't you think that Ryu & Ken are going to be popular as they have starred in any and everything with the words "Street Fighter" next to each other? Some people have their favourites. Thats all I'm saying.


If you go outside in the rain, don't be shocked when you get wet.

Fireballs are what I have negative problems with. I know how to get around them with the characters I play. My main beef is their high-priority anti-air attacks. More often than not I get too close and end up eating a Shoryuken.

Now that I've had a good deal more time to play the game, I've come to the conclusion that the computer cheats when it gets a hold of the Shotos. And T. Hawk. I fucking hate T. Hawk.

T.Hawk is a douche. I've got a friend who only uses him and only ever does the Mexican Typhoon. Then he gets surprised when he loses all the time.

I'm sitting here with my Juri. Trying to figure out a way through Shoryuken spamming.

Because Juri only has one really patheric ranged attack, the rest of her specials involve closing the gap between opponents. And I often run head on into a Shoryuken.

Cammy user here, I must admit, I'm sick of seeing Shoto characters. I don't begrudge their use, just how fucking broken in terms of power and priority. When I get close enough I just lay the Cammy smackdown, using focus feints and just generally baiting them into making a mistake.

That would've been Iyo, the tournament was Super Battle Opera, the Japanese counterpart to EVO.

I believe they crowned him champion of Japan at some point. Don't know for sure though.
