Yoga Fire!

Shadaloo Bio: " Dhalsim is the miracle of India, and a master in the way of yoga. He's often the voice of reason when fighters need wisdom. Dhalsim's strict training has transformed him into one of the masters of yoga, and is almost deified by the people. He can extend his own limbs to attack opponents from a distance, and he can call upon the power of the fire god Agni to control flames."

Dhalsim is probably the Ur-Example of a zoning character in fighting games. With his extremely long reaching punches & kicks, flame attacks, unusual jump physics, and teleportation, Dhalsim had an interesting toolkit that truly set him apart from everyone else in the original game. And while his backstory doesn't make him terribly plot relevant, there's always room for a wise master character in martial arts stories, so it's easy enough for him to just come around & give advice to whomever needs it. A very well done classic character.

I rather like Dhalsim. He's a fun character with a memorable design who just fits in with the universe. Also, I have a bit of nostalgia for him; I mentioned (or will mention, depending on what order write ups are posted) that Vega seemed completely impossible to beat in the original SF2, but I actually got a lucky win over him as Dhalsim! My cousins didn't think I had a chance and that it was impossible to win as Dhalsim, but I actually did it! ...Okay, it's not much, but I was happy and having a happy memory attached to him makes Dhalsim worthy of a fairly decent place on my list.

Would I be interested in seeing him in a new game? Sure. He's not an absolute favorite or anything, but he's unique & fills the wise master role perfectly well. - FluttershyPony

Very unique moveset concept. He climbed over 30 places from my first draft of the ranking. - GavsEvans123
