I'm sure Kid Aphex was expecting this much sooner.
Me and him played SVC rather extensively last evening. All day he'd been telling me to "Get ready for Dhalsim!"
What he proceeded to show me is perhaps THE MOST broken character I've EVER seen in any fighting game, EVER.
Now, I'm no slouch at this game, I can do pretty well on level 5, so its not as though I don't know what I'm doing (especially with Terry) but the HORSESHIT Ray was pulling was ab-fucking-surd.
-Yoga Fire has ZERO recovery time, nobody else in the fucking game can dish out projectiles fast enough to deal with it.
-Dhalsim's slide move has priority over every fucking move in the game, save specials (my only saving grace was to smack him with a Blaster Wolf in mid-slide) AND BLOCKS. 8 times out of 10, blocking low I STILL got hit with this slide.
-Dhalsim has ZERO recovery time between most attacks except for his low attacks. However, since the slidet trips you, by the time you get up, he's ready to fucking assault you AGAIN.
-Yoga Flame DM does tick damage like a whore. Even if you block, you've still got to wait for it to hit 9-10 fucking times before being allowed to move. The total damage from blocking this attack is roughly the same as being hit with a regular attack.
I still love this game to death, and even Ray understands that Dhalsim is broken to the MAX, but we were still having fun seeing just HOW fucking invincible this pile of noodles is.
EDIT: Oddly enough, besides the three MIRACLE times I beat him, the only other match that came close was when I played as Mars People on a whim. Their move sets are very similar, but a jumping in C with Mars People just about snakes around every possible attack.
