Explaining who Street Fighter’s Dhalsim is in 60 seconds or less

Dhalsim says he’s a pacifist while wearing 3 human skulls on his neck

[@cottonfoam20]

from what I heard those 3 skulls are the victims of some deadly incident so he made them an amulet to express his respect and condolences.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

The skulls are from children who died in his village. He wears their skulls as a reminder as to why he fights.

[@yuriusutr7284]

That's... uh, nice? Abit strange, but it could be a cultural thing, I guess...

[@Ring_student_yin_sang]

​@@yuriusutr7284 yup, I looked up and dhalsim clothes and skulls are reminiscent of the Hindu ascetics that are called kappalikas

That's metal af

[@tychambers4629]

I set reminders on my phone. Dhalsim is different for sure

[@MrWillypanda88]

so lemme get this straight, he chopped off the head of dead children, probably already buried, cleaned up the rotten meat, brain, eyes, etc, and tied them up into a necklace, as a reminder? Can't he just.... I dunno.... tattooed their names to his butt or something? seems excessive

[@owenleal]

Bold move for Dhalsim to grow a beard when his whole power has been to breathe fire.

[@Scruffy-qi3ik]

I think it’s because it’s basically illusion fire

[@lnsflare1]

I mean, it's not like beards are that much more flammable than lungs.

[@sayanhalder6470]

His fire is illusion

[@tflop9712]

"my fire is an illusion, it burns you because you believe in it" -Dhalsim

[@EddVCR]

I love Dhalsim. He’s such a cool character! He’s been my favorite since childhood.

[@MythicMachina]

I always really liked Dhalsim, even when I was younger. But no one ever really seemed to talk about him so I thought I was the only one. It's great to see all these years later that he's a fan favorite!

[@DinsRune]

I always liked the explanation I heard from TBFP: Dhalsim's not the strongest of the World Warriors, but he is the wisest.

[@EddVCR]

And among the kindest.

[@spritemon98]

He also puts brand names onto the 3 child skulls around his neck

[@shadowsnake5133]

Mates definitely gonna help ken, boys struggling out here and doesn't deserve it

[@SluggedNugg]

A cool concept if they brought back his pacifism is that whenever he's in a fight it's actually a vision brought upon via incense. So when he wins he keeps his beliefs while also enacting his justice in a way that works as a good compromise for him.

[@evangonzalez7732]

Just because I CAN'T beat the shit out of you, doesn't mean I can't WISH I could.

[@Scruffy-qi3ik]

I think that’s the case, atleast relating to his fire. Like the fire he spits out is actually an illusion to avoid harming his opponents

[@justsayingguy]

so peaceful he have decorative baby skull for jewellery....

[@teenagetj4394]

To respect them of course!

[@kruegerpoolthe13th]

Dhalsim is absolutely my favorite fighting game character ever His gameplay just offers so many strategies and is so versatile Plus his history is plain awesome

[@ellis7622]

One of the best fighting game characters of all time.

[@backtoyougo]

I love how every sf6 character looks like they are their previous variants and just hit the gym

[@shuem_]

That last shot was awesome

[@t.vampiro4800]

One of my favorite characters.

[@Qardo]

The guy looks like he is 80 years old. Yet, he is like...what? 45 to 50? I mean, if Yoga end up making me look like a walking Mummy. I am sorry, dude.

[@justaliljello5198]

I mean tbf hes probably gonna live VERY long

[@altruism6885]

It's what happens when you sit in the sun all day I guess.

[@lnsflare1]

I think that he was 45-50 in his first appearance, and it's been at least 10+ years, with him living in a village that seems to have supply issues.

[@Qardo]

@lnsflare1 No, I think he was in his late 30s when he was first introduced. Still, looked a man twice his age. Yet, fast forward a few years (not really a decade. As Kent's boy is like...8 I believe by this point). The guy looks like he is 80 years old.

[@curioushorse800]

When you indulge in advance yogas(not that stretching shit) which is only available in india right now.........and is free for those who are worthy........you will slowly found so much happiness that you will not even need food that much........thats why they are so skinny.......they dont need food like us.......their cardio is insane........i have met several yogis and 100% of them are skinny
