Top Hat Gaming Man, you should do a Street Fighter character documentary video on Rainbow Mika.
Hey TopHat big fan bro keep doing what you doing really do appreciate and enjoy your videos such great content just love it 💯🙏
Do Karin or Kolin next pls
Can you do Ryu next please? :)
It is good that Dhalsim is still going strong to this day. He has gained new moves as well as having his lore improved over the years.
it is impressive he is still around in SF games...
even made it to sf6 now. respect to capcom.
@@krishrama They did well. Yes.🙂
@@krishrama he’s a street fighter character stop acting surprised
Dhalsim and Blanka were the first bizarre fighters in the franchise that set the tradition for future games in the universe to always have at least one weird character in the roster.
I didn't like him that much at first when SF2 came out, but eventually grew fond of him. great character!
I await to see Necro and Oro again in SF6
According to the Street Fighter Canon Plot Guide, a Japanese writeup in "Hadouken no Nazou" claims Dhalsim's fighting style is based on kalaripayattu. His training in Yoga is what gave him his flexibility and stretching abilities, while the ability to breathe fire was already covered in the video above.
I remember hearing that the skulls he wears are from 3 children who died in his village. I also heard Balrog once punched 1 of the tusks off of 1 of Dhalsim's elephants
Yeah that's truth
@@jeremyhall2727 Both?
i heard he breathes fire because of spicy food. Even if they retcon it, for me it will always be Spicy Food!
@@VictorHernandez-nj2lo first is definitely true. never heard 2nd, might not be canon anymore
So why does he wear them? Kinda creepy
Dhalsim wasn't one of my favourite characters when I started playing SF2 but he became one of my favourites later on. Infuriating my mates no end.
Props for mentioning Master of the Flying Guillotine, love that movie.
Now THIS is one i've been waiting for! Dhalsim has always been iconic yet I did not know about his past...the joy of seeing he was a good man! Thanks Top Hat Man!
I always thought Blanka would be the one with the shocking history.
A good Dhalsim player is a nightmare matchup for many characters. He is not easy to master but is a force to be reckoned with once he is.
Kabbadi is great stuff to watch. They used to have it on channel 4 years ago. Absolutely mental game.
Master of The Flying Guillotine is still one of the best kung fu movies of all time. Change my mind
If he was named after lentils and beans that explains how he can produce gas for his fire techniques.
awesome video as always. I'm not the biggest fan of dhalsim, but I'll always be down to learn the history behind the characters!
Dhalsim was my first character I ever chose in the SF2 arcade back then. I thought his long limbs would give me an edge, I was wrong xD mainly bc I had no clue what I was doing, lol.
while i hated fighting him the most in sf2(with how clunky it was he always tripped me the second it started.) i always liked dhalsim's history like his fire being from agni/how in the comics it's illusion based by expecting the pain long enough to be striked,his son being friends with guile's daughter,being the reason cammy broke free and thought it was cool in 5(also funny he just kicks ibuki & birdie out of the helicopter when they invade the shadaloo base.) he teaches the police officer to breath flames like him really alongside other characters showing anyone can learn their techniques in time.
also thought it was a bit funny in svc chaos he calls mai shiranui fat when she's not that different from other snk games(would say chun li's more closer.) outside maybe 15 and was my favorite part of street fighter 2v(liked the way ryu learnt the hadoken alongside exploring an ancient temple to focus his spirit fighting the illusion as an akuma esque monster to see he and ken were fighting each other to control their strength and actually remember an old video of dhalsim teaching ryu & ken hado where it explained his techniques being real life teachings.:3) being what i wish they did with him in the animated movie after he sensed ryu's energy(would've liked him being the calcutta girl's father and after ryu saves her alongside sensing his energy he helps ryu train alongside e. honda.)
which i like is extending to the games with 5 that i hope continues to 6.(would love him,oro,karin & rose/menat being ryu or the player characters guides.)
another great video, its really interesting how many characters start from stereotypes that evolve to be more than the sum of its parts
Obviously the Dark Stalkers series didn't go very far, but Dhalsim's unconventional move set would have made him a really cool unlockable character in that series.
Also, his long range attacks would be fun to use in a beat 'em up game.
His yoga drill mixups were a problem back in the day.
Guile would clearly be named Cheese Burger
Either that or something else like "Sammich".
Limb burger
Wow! Thank you! I've been asking for this video for a while! You delivered top hat!
Did you know, the voice actor of dhalsim in street fighter 2v was steve blum.
Street fighter 2????? reall???
Zangief's presidential kossack dance is the most memorable to me.
Another awesome vid!
wtf his name is based on Daal and Sem??!!😂😂 bwahaha! gonna tell my friends and siblings about this. I'm Indian btw and those dishes are like regular at home.
I wonder if Dhalsim being Indian while also being able to do the move that Hamon users can use is a nod to Tonpetty, William Zeppeli's master.
Thank you for all your time and work on these !
Awesome video Top Hat Man, liked it and subbed to your channel. Word.
This was unbelievably enjoyable 👌
There's actually a set of Hinduism that he more resembles. But it's one that actually deals with things that are defiling on purpose. They do wear skull necklaces and do stunts. I forgot the name
The fire breathing thing is also a street trick.
The Aghoris... Sometimes they're covered in ash. Hence why one of his sprites is gray.
The irony in Dhalsim’s name (beans/lentils) “Vegetarian Cannibal” or “vegetable guy” as a side effect of consumption of narcotics which makes him weak and slow in movement .
The AGHORIS apart from consuming the corpse, the tribe members practicing cannibalism utilize the dead body to the fullest. For instance, they transform human skulls into bowls and carve pieces of bones into jewelry.
Every Aghori possesses a human skull which they use as a bowl. Why? Because according to their belief system, the human life of a deceased clings to the skull’s top.
Additionally, for them to transcend, they need to face death directly. Due to this belief, the Aghoris gather the human ashes from the cremation grounds, smearing them on their whole bodies - from head to toe.
This act, according to them, brings them closer to their Lord Shiva and protects them from future diseases. After smearing the human ashes all over, the Aghoris meditate and pray.
Today, the Kāpālika tradition survives within its Shaivite offshoots: the Aghori order, Kaula, and Trika traditions.
Thanks for all of your videos on the history of all of the Street Fighter characters, I'm a Huge player and fan, Great Job, I love Dhalsim in the Street Fighter 2 V cartoon series
Watching to support after your refreshingly honest post about this character, well played man ✌️
Great video , huge fan ,thanks so much!
Stretching one's limbs... does it count for EVERY limb and is it possible to learn this power?
Asking for a friend...
Guile would be Tater Tot.
Which Street Fighter Returning Characters that weren't not present in Street Fighter 5 should appear in Street Fighter 6 for me Fei Long and T Hawk
I mean, considering his bio always says he is less than 6 foot tall and like 110 pounds, they sure make him tall and enormous muscularly.
Thanks for covering Dhalism . Much ❤
This one is long overdue.
Pop-Tart 🤣. U always taking cheap shots at my home country and I'm here for it.
I had to pause the video at that part and check the comments to see if anyone else laughed as hard as I did
i vote to call his fighting style YOGATSU
I read recently of an India cannibal tribe called the "Aghori". I thought maybe Dhalsim was based off that. Like he was part of the tribe at first then denounced the ways of it and started practicing Yoga. Because it does seem odd that he's wearing skulls which would be the "yang" and doing yoga is the "ying". IDK. Just a theory that's probably wrong, although that would make a great repenting backstory for him.
One of my favorite Street Fighter characters. Great job.
FINALLY!!! Been waiting for this one!! "Yoga!!"🔥
You're the one who has been saying that all of my moves are cheap and that my arms are stretchy and that it is not fair how dare you sir!
Based on his name Dhalsim could have been an Indian Saiyan. 🇮🇳💪🏾
As always very interesting video.
Keep it up big daddy! 😊👍
Er when u meditate it calms the mind and gets rid of anger or anxiety , now that you mentioned it after 30 years or so you playing it , u cannot meditate and destroy! .............I guess playing the game so much and loving it for so many years you tend to miss these things.
Hey nice! I think you're pronouncing his name right 😅 out of character for you lol. Love your vids bro, thanks for all your hard work for the community
We eat Dhal all the time!
This dude was a nightmare in SFXT especially if you pair him up with someone who covered all his weaknesses
His teleport/ overhead mix up game was 😬
Please do a videos on Ryu, Rolento, Ibuki, & Elena
Wait.. is it just me or does the outfit of the guy in the movie resembles Fang's outfit?🤔🤔
Street Food Fighters lol
DLC Chowder..ha-food-ken
Actually That Movie was the 1st World Tornament Movie with each character having their own theme music costume from the respective Countries.
Jimmy Wang Yu main actor and director of the one arm martial series which Flying Gullotine is apart of.
The theme for the evil blind monk is frickin epic everytime his character shows up.
Master of the flying guillotine is an awesome movie.
Actually,Dhalsim was in the original version of SF4 as well
Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man! Can you please do a Street Fighter character documentary on E. Honda?
Besides that stretchy-armed guy in the Justin Trudeau flick, I'm sure that a large part (especially the minimal clothing and emaciated look and dislike of violence) comes from Mohandas Gandhi (and maybe some other gurus).
Vindaloo Narrative sounds like the best name ever for a band.
Nice video.
I like the story line of Dhalsim is 1 of the 4 grandmasters among Gouken, Akuma & Gen but Dhalsim & Gen are both declining and the next among the 4 are Sagat, Ryu & ChunLi because Akuma just refuse to retire and die!!!
Please cover YUN AND YANG!
Thanks!
who knew yoga could be so deadly :) Yoga flame
Like Zangief who was meant to be named Vodka Gobalski after Punch Out character Vodka Drunkeski/Soda Popinski (1984/1987) an USSR wrestler champion also “Bear Hugger” (1987) punch out an canadian hillbilly or lumper jack .
Good stuff , I wasn't aware he was named after Indian food 😃
4:22 - lol alot of SFII's cast were themselves racist caricatures 😅
I love these videos
I prefer to call him Bindi Bhaji. or Cornershop.
The naming strategy is legit. I mean Kobe Bryant was name after a Japanese steak dish.... lol
Demitri Maximoff please!
Look up Street Fighter Red Tape,the clip on Dhalsim XD
It’s just Reed Richards
Pop tart? You’re giving the US pop tart? It should have been hot dog! 😅
Do a video on all the Dolls
USA = gullie = pop tarts 😒🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's hilarious top hat
Quite awesome indeed.
Street fighter ex plus alpha music in the background!
Dhalism is an amazing street fighter.😀👍🇮🇳🇺🇸🎮
Dalshim and Blanka the real street fighters
Love it. ⚡🥘⚡ Yeahhhh.
Dhalsim’s only L wasn’t even an L, bro just got distracted by a stronger ki.
Dhalsim was thrash in street fighter 2. As a teenager most teenagers dismissed him as thrash tier. And when teenagers the minority who did pick him. They 9 times out of 10 got bodied and quickly dropped him 🤣. He got absolutely destroyed at every arcade by majority of the cast. When street fighter 2 turbo came around. Dhalsim once again was the pathetic bendy punching bag. What a joke he was. Alpha games he got destroyed once again. He only got good in sft 4 and sft 5. His best appearance is street fighter 5 without a doubt and possibly street fighter 6
That’s actually quite shocking. I guess it does take more than stretchy limbs to make you top tier.
Came here from the short 😤
Dhalsim would be 69 today per the English manual.
The skulls are creepy Knowing they are children
Master of the Flying Guillotine was not racist, any more than Street Fighter 2 is racist. Merely representing an Indian martial artist as a fighter with traditional Indian clothes doesn’t mean that character was meant to be of an inferior race.
We gonna ignore how he has three skulls around his neck?
Did they apologize to India like they did Brazil?
Woohoo!!! 😁
Ah yes my main
Dhalsim's fire has been changed yet again being stated as an illusion created by him that give the feeling of burning, i guess it could fit dhalsim's pacifist nature and it is much more plausible
A curry house isn't that bad.
There are much worse things you can be names after.
Your pronunciation is weird. Raiyu instead of Ryu, brief instead of breathe, wiv instead of with.
Fun character…difficult to master.
love him
At what point did Dahlism started to take HGH or steroids cuz he went from skinny cut up to bodybuilder size
lolz. ...well around alpha series era. he got a slight redesign. more buffed.
always found that odd and interesting capcom did that. i think its also
inspired from the epic SFII animated movie. which capcom tooks tons
of ideas from as well.
Went into a Caloric surplus lol
Who is from south asia and has the ability to stretch limbs ?
What in the world is payela? I think you meant Paella. Pronounced Pa-eh-yah
Yoga!🔥🧘🏾♂️🐐
True martial arts of India, Kalaripayattu Shastar Vidiya Kushti Inbuan vajra mushti gatka
Dhal taste so good 😊
I never picked Dhalsim, moves too slow.
