THIS IS WHY DHALSIM SHOULD NEVER BE TOP TIER

Justin Wong learns harsh lessons against a phenomenal Dhalsim player during a trip to a Japanese arcade. Mukai's command of the character reveals why this often-underrated fighter deserves serious respect in Street Fighter Alpha 3's matchup landscape. Through extended play, Wong discovers how Dhalsim's zoning tools and spacing control can make nearly every character in the roster feel significantly worse than their typical tier placement suggests. The video captures genuine moments of discovery as a top-level player encounters a specialist who forced him to reconsider his approach to the game and what it takes to navigate Dhalsim's unique neutral game. Rather than dismissing the character, Wong acknowledges the skill required to master these fundamentals and commits to deepening his understanding of Alpha 3's depth.
