I posted a little while ago about how I was attempting to learn how to play with Dhalsim. Needless to say that didn't go so well, hence the title of this blog. Whatever the reason I couldn't get to grips with his play style. His defensive nature and having to plan moves in advance proved to be hard for me to master. Also his crappy health, bad ultra and slow movement doesn't help matters. However, I am sure there are plenty of people who have a play style more suited to him (in fact I've played plenty online and know if you play well with him, you can really annoy your opponents)

This is the 3rd match of 5 in a playlist which you can view here

Cool, I hope as time goes on the kens and Ryus get weeded out of competition. Not that I dont mind a good ken or ryu fight, but due to all the noods, it was all I fought against for the first month. Maybe now the more serious players will start using more variety of characters like you are doing.

I have never played a Rufus online. You'll definitely have an advantage because no one will know how to play against him. ;)

I started well, but you got better too... I miss the ultra at 2:10 and 3:30 from the exact same set up. He's not my main but i find i have the most fun playing as fuerte (but hate playing against him). Almost got a perfect too, that ex messiah kick is like a get out of jail free card.

EDIT: Also if you prefer the english voices your'e a bad person, sorry pal.

" @Iggins:  Yeah, ex messiah kick is very useful.I have the british and american characters set to english, so cammy and... Ken, Guile, Rog, Rufus and Viper. The rest are jap. I just prefer it like that :)Anyway, good matches. Don't get to play many fuerte players so good practise. "

Well if your playing on the ps3. Ill just tell you some tips based on the matches you posted.

• Most other Rufus players that ive seen turtle a little too much with him. You seem to be in that catagory so start getting up in peoples asses. Rufus is all about pressure pressure pressure! If you give people the chance to reset their position on screen you might lose getting in on them.
• Start lowering your dive kicks. If you dont know already if you do them at the height that you are doing them now people will start throwing you right after you do it. So start dive kicking as soon as you jump. This will lower your chance of getting thrown and increase your chance of getting a combo.
• Know all of Rufus ultra setups. He has over 8 ultra setups which puts him up there with ryu. And if you cant hit with the target combo to ultra dont keep doing it. Its best used as a punish so there is no need to do random ultras also. If you hit the target combo at least you know its a 100% hit.
• As for Fuerte. I think he is one of rufus' counter picks and the only real way to get out of his splash is to back dash out of that shit. Or you could go for a ex jesus kick if you can.
