Dhalsim effectively turns this match into a treacherous obstacle course. Offensive characters like Gen can either find a way to make it over the hump, or die a slow, agonizing death.
players: Yeb (Gen) vs FilipinoChamp (Dhalsim)
observations:
Probably the nicest trick in the whole video happens at 3:52, when Dhalsim knocks down Gen and throws an LP Yoga Fire, then teleports in place. Yeb attempts to block the other way and gets hit, because he’s conditioned to expect a crossup teleport. But of course, none of this would be possible if FilipinoChamp wasn’t so precise with his anti-airs and overall spacing. He knows exactly when to use B+HK, B+MP, s.MK, B+MK, Yoga Catastrophe, and jump back fierce.
