Itsuki (Dhalsim) vs. Dragon Boy (Ken)

[FIxt00l]

Zoning and spacing at its finest...I deeply respect both players, unlike other many "top-rated " players that are nothing more than lousy fireball spammers and pathetic turtles.(Cough Cough)

[farhannius]

At 1:53 Ken found out Dhalsim had an affair with Eliza...

[ZomgZomg007]

that would have been hilarious if it connected

[love2punk]

does anyone use vega in these things?

[MasterHi0b]

this ken is so much fun to watch!

no matter how good a dhalsim player is, dhalsim is and will be -boring. it's that simple

[soesoesoe]

@MasterHi0b boring to watch? hmm mb if u dont get a clue on this game, but if u realize how patient and carefull iyo plays, you mb get ur fun seeing him confusing his opponent and keep them guessing (wrong)

[MasterHi0b]

@soesoesoe yeah maybe im not enough into dhalsim's game, i'll keep an eye on him.

[KrumpetNylon]

0:27 - 0:32 made me lol

[Simonio8]

i wish i was that pro with Ken

[GodzzzSon]

1:54 - 2:10 has got to be the funniest shit i seen... ownage.

[enricofermi]

literally took his whole life in 16 seconds

[kronos2560]

Dhalsim takes no skill to use.

[Ravenex2]

@kronos2560 Dhalsim requires significant skill and decision making because he has low stamina and low damage output...nub.

[kronos2560]

@Ravenex2 Lmao, what ever dude. Dhalsim needs 1 button to play. thats not precision, thats more like compensation for lack of comboability. "Ok, this guy is gonna be slow as shit, so lets give him the best range fighting games has ever seen and never let anyone even get close to him." Thats Dhalsim in a nutshell. NUB!

[Ravenex2]

@kronos2560 So because you can't close the distance, he's OP? You simply suck at breaking down Dhalsim's defensive and zoning game and even though it is very good, Dhalsim has his weak points (weak and low damage). His moves don't have priority like the gold 'ol Dragon Punch either. Please stop bitching and learn the mechanics of the game. Generally speaking, every character is fairly well balanced in Super. Perhaps a few adjustments need to be made, but nothing major. You simply can't adapt.

[mikolyyyy]

@Ravenex2 Dhalsim requires knowledge and planning just ignore the h8ers

[Urzawtfbbq]

yeah one chip and he was dead, would have been funny to see it work though

[Mozzinrath]

One mistake and these guys wipe out half the life bar in no time!!!

[topbluffa1]

why did i get - thumbs for my comment?

its true and its stupid.

[jackhudson1392]

@topbluffa1 its not true goukens hits aswell as does abels and a few others maybe if you used other characters apart from ken you'd know this.

[ldzatoichi]

1:28

give these people an inch and they take a mile

[fatbuffalo]

err yoga teleport ?

[SmartFist]

Woulda been nice if he caught Dhal's arms with the ultra =)

[linkerDA]

3:10 ok what was that for? he gave up? lol

[Vito126]

no, he thought that the dhalsim was going to extend his arms so he tried to catch it with the ultra but guessed wrong.

[linkerDA]

oh i see nice one :)

[F0Xhound009]

kinda of but not really, if dhalsim did an extended reach fierce punch the ultra would have hit. with a sliver of power ken had left he was just throwing it out there in an attempt to possibly get lucky

[skullkid50]

YOGA YOGA YOGA YOGA

[Vito126]

i know its random but, is a fight pad worth it, will my game change compared to a normal 360 controller?

[starcraftnewbie]

if you wsih to play competetively, then yeah a fight pad is totally worth it, I don't see playing street fighter 4 without it.

[Vito126]

k thanks

[PhinnyCobbler]

Get an arcade stick - a good one.

[tyreecestylz]

another good ken but dhal just has some sick range prolly not the best match up for ken who would be the best match up for dhal anyone?

[sharkl11]

pretty cool how you see the flame reflecting on kens face when it nears. also thats the best outfit/color w/ ken. just sick.

[shooterman12]

Man, these guys are good.

[MaceAce7]

damn,ken just raped 2nd round

[suneel7]

ownage at 1.30

[buffguy86]

i think the first round super was a waste he had that round with just a plain yoga flame combo finisher

[kkam030]

you realize he yoga flamed into super right?

[buffguy86]

yeah, i meant he most likely would have won the rest of the round without using his super since ken had basically no health left, but i can see why he wanted to guarantee the round

[HwarangOfFaith]

yeah man, even if ken was left with few pixels of hp left, anyone in the pro-level can make a comeback with just couple of good combos, especially with ken.

[killweir]

Lol!

[PSTRIPPLEE]

He finally court him and made him dizzy lol 2:00 those punches awsome thats why i love using low punch low kicks

[topmcat]

1:26 is just NASTY!!!

[LivingStradivarius]

Ken should pursue with aerial LK, which can counter Dhalsim's anti-air knee. LK aerial tatsumaki can also counter Dhalsim's anti-air if timed right. That or turtle and anticipate Dhalsim's teleport.

[realbodizzle]

Shit was hilarious when Ken rushed down Sim. Good match, Dhalsim's always prevail.

[Dridokof]

What the hell was that last whiff?, must have tought he was going to teleport in.

[KaalVeiten]

He was trying to yomi what he thought would be a jumping fierce, but it was jumping jab to bait it.

[Noraa3903]

I think he was fishing for just a plain attack by dhalsim. If he got lucky and the Dhalsim player tried to hit him with a plain move the ultra would of landed. The Dhalsim player was smart to do an empty jump there

[XBUGMANX]

nah, he was trying to hit his extended yoga arms. watch the vid again he was trying to connect ultra to his arms

[sunike07]

Dhalsim is riggied! he's like Sentinel from MVC2; long range attacks!!

[XxRumble]

Awesome Dhalsim. His winning quote is hilarious.

[spunkstermunkster]

Dhalsim's victory phrase is "YOOGA YOGA YOGA YOGA"?

Do Japanese people think that the entire Hindi language consists of just one word?

At any rate, the ending to the first round was EPIC. Dhalsim FTW.

[erikrh]

hahaha dhalsim is like a pokemon you know xD

[datriadx18]

You could say the same for sagat... 'TIGER' everything.

[hirowazunaga]

lol i know right

[Zekestah]

wtf at the ken ultra whiff ... pro skills in both parts,

[tomoyuki]

trying to catch a limb.

[Elfbomb87]

lolz you try playin ken vs sim at 1% life across screen for the last match

sim ftw :D

[StreetTrooper]

players are alright a little heavy on the same buttons repeated but besides that they aint that bad

[Rippinkitten18]

then don't watch it. When I play online, I barely get to play any dhalsims because all these gay noobs either use ken or ryu and use the fireball uppercuts all the way.

[xr1x]

oh thanks for your great advise dude, i had never thought about that (not watching the match). Or maybe i should watch how pro players play against these over defensive dhalsims. I'd rather fight against a good ken than against a good dhalsim,

who cares about noobs, if you don't wanna play against them just select people of your level.

[Zeeshan73]

dhalsim is slow deliberate defensive cuz he has to be. i cant stand ppl that play shotos like bit--es with low fierce anti-air and kick/sweep as their strongest punishments. dynamic ken-ryus with variable strategies are the beauty of street fighter.

[Noraa3903]

I agree with u but the shoto users that irritate u like that don't get very far. I love how much depth there is to the shotos now and just how much they vary. And for anyone who disagrees check out skilled Akuma Ken and Ryu players and notice just how different the three of them are

[Zeeshan73]

call me a noob if u want. im an old man who played in tourneys on sf2 in 1992. and yeah im a ken player

[PSTRIPPLEE]

thats why i hatte online and love arcades. all the online people there nobs ther dont no how to playy and same move every time no combos nothinggg pisses me off. when u searching for a player language japanese u might find good players thats why i set the language japanese so i can play thm rather than usa or uk nerds

[OGRedWill]

you cant always connect to them, and ive seen some japanese players online that are garbage. Still though, i agree with what yer saying.

[lolh4x]

Jesus how old are? 5? Learn to type, retard.

[Mugen123456789]

Wow wtf i kinda like watching the vids without spoilers. First thing i see is "WOW dragon boy lost"

Stfu please im sure everyone under you knew that don't have to ruin the shit.

[gerry135]

Definately agree with that point lol

[Renolidor]

you just ruined it for me dude

[Noraa3903]

A good Dhalsim is very tough to beat. Its easy to say u can memorize his pokes and throwin the L srks but i'd like to see someone really manage to do that. Hell the only times ive beaten good ones i honestly believe that they made a few mistakes cus a good one wont let u near them. Especially as a shoto.

[Dovieandi23]

Man, if only DB had landed the psychic Ultra at the end. Would've been epic.

[blasphemy06]

I am guessing he did that by accident because it cost him the match.

[buffguy86]

yeah cause he had it until then...

[sakeido]

The full ultra would have landed if Dhalsim did FP in the air, he was trying to be psychic but the Dhalsim didn't go for it

[OneStoryNation]

No, he did not do it by accident. He was trying to be psychic and predict that the dhalsim would j.fierce.

[Roghman]

A Ken beating a Dhalsim would have been epic? Oh my...

[9272madman]

lol....dont know why people thumbs down you for saying that

[Roghman]

Because Ken players think their wins are just as impressive as say, Gen or Dhalsim wins. lol

[9272madman]

Ahh i took that as sarcasm as he was making fun of another guy who said dragonboy landing the ultra would be epic.

[tehbomb]

great match!

dragon boys ken is awesome as usual

nice stuff from itsuki at 1:26

[Whitefloat]

Man if you want to call anyone a scrub that match, you could call Dhalsim a scrub. Poke poke poke all day long. 24/7

[datriadx18]

er... thats dhalsims entire game. He cant come up close because he takes damage like a bitch, so his only real tactic against rushdown is his teleport and pokes. Get in on him with a good string and he's beyond phucked.

[itsallenwow]

ya go spam shoryuken online with ken like every other bitch on xbox live while people try to play other fighters.

[datriadx18]

*facepalm*... wow. u obviously r a scrub. I'

[venomchris]

lol what a fag u are, if anything thats an advantage, most all stretchy hits can all be countered by a L srk. if dhalsim does that jump back and punch u can even hit that with kens full ultra no matter how far back he is. so if u memorize his pokes, its over

[huuuuuumpy]

pro shit on both sides there

[vet3600]

ken is a scrup carether the one the i give thumps up to is the guyt the play us dalshim the take fucking skills

[BaldieBasher]

isn't dragonboy ranked as lyk the best ken in jap?

anyways as stated before dragonboys combo's with ken are amazing.

[keisukeMamoru86]

I give thumbs up to your spelling

[OneStoryNation]

Dragon Boy is one of the best Kens in Japan...you have no right to say that.

[UrielSeptum]

Sick dhalsim

[donangry]

As true as that is, that Ken was horrid. I see better Kens on xbox live than that. A lucky string of corner hits is the only reason he even took a round.

[OmniCloud987]

Lol...whaaaaa???! Most players can't even block string let alone pull off the combos that Dragon boy can with Ken. He was simply outplayed, If they would've played 10 matches in a row you'd probably see a balanced win ration between the two, especially as they learn each other's fighting habits. You cannot be serious to think that Ken won the second round with luck...lol I'm don't want to call u a scrub, but seriously that took mad skill to link together and crazy timing.

[MichaelFolorunsho]

agreed, that ken was good

[OldEQlvl60]

amen, well said.

[jspec180]

its still kinda hard to do. i was messing with it yesterday and i cant do it consistently. its fucking tight tho

[jspec180]

well a 2 in 1 is where you cancel a normal move into a special move. you have to do it fast so its almost like 1 motion for example shoto's always crouching mk into fireball. thats a 2 in 1. so for dhalsim youre gonna do back mk, then quickly do flame, then super and if you do it fast enough it will all connect. this combo's in dhalsim's trial mode if you wanna practice it on console. i think you can do it in st also but im new to dhalsim

[CxSalamander]

ahh, i see what you mean. thanks

[jspec180]

hold back when you press mk so he wont outstretch his leg. you know how to do the teleport part right? well you have to 2 in 1 the back+mk to flame then super. kinda tricky but its fuckin dooooope

[CxSalamander]

what do you mean by 2 in 1

[CxSalamander]

How do you pull that combo off with dhalsim at 1:26. i try so hard to get the m. kick and the flame light flame to go off but it won't. does anybody know?

[Zekestah]

yeh excellent dhalsim

[sfaremix]

Friggin intense. I like ;)

[mannymatrixofwar]

really nice ken combo at 1:54

[snowbonez]

i was surprised to see a pro get stunned, rarely happens.

[Mariodoot]

Really excellent Dhalsim and Ken play. watch this closely, people.
