Street Fighter 6: All Dhalsim Moves & Combos

The legendary yoga master, Dhalsim, is making an epic return in Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 as the best Zoner in the game. He is still very annoying to play against but he has been given a few knicks here and there to help bruisers like Ryu brutally punish his mistakes.

Who Is Great Yoga Master Dhalsim In Street Fighter 6?

Dhalsim is an iconic part of the Street Fighter 6 character lineup. He was originally introduced in Street Fighter 2 in 1991. At the character reveal events, the developers did not reveal Street Fighter 6 Dhalsim’s age. However, inferring from previous titles, he is the oldest Street Fighter character.

In Street Fighter 6 Dhalsim’s story is one of the most captivating, involving self-growth and the incredible pursuit of justice. In lore, he is known to guide lost and broken souls back to the path of righteousness. Ironically, he is not a fan of violence but his hatred for evil trumps that in every fight.

Dhalsim has some of the most crucial interactions with other characters in the previous titles. His most notable one is serving as a guide for Ryu to help him become more powerful. He also gains the title “Great Yoga Master Dhalsim” after saving his village.
