Game Debate to the Death! Dhalsim VS E. Honda photo

Last week was a battle between bosses, and there's no reason to prolong the results. M. Bison made Shang Tsung his bitch:

  • Shang Tsung: 7 votes
  • M. Bison: 64 votes - winner!

This week's fight is between a fatty and a freak. Will Honda slap down a hundred hands for the win? Or will Dhalsim stretch past him for a victory? The sumo wrestler and skinny pacifist are both are deadly in their own ways, and it's up to you to decide the winner. Who is the better fighter, and why? Cast your votes, give us a reason for your decision, get some friends to vote, and check back next week for the winner.

Also, this long first round of the Street Fighter versus Mortal Kombat tournament will be coming to an end next week. There's one more battle bracket after this week, and then the debates should heat up even more as round two begins.

I really disliked Dhalsim. He was freaky, and I got no satisfaction out of contorting his "pacifist" body to inflict pain on others. But for every one time I won with E. Honda, there was a dozen times someone else beat me when playing as Dhalsim. So I've got to vote for Mr. Stretch this time, although I hope he gets destroyed in the next round :)

To master Dhalsim is an exercise in patience.

I fully expect Dhalsim to lose this round, but he is the better fighter.

I went through a "Dhalsim" phase (as I did with nearly every original SFII fighter) and discovered that played correctly, just by knowing every single move by heart and the timing of each, you could pwn.

The same goes with nearly every fighter but the thing with Dhalsim is the utter frustration you could cause in your opponent because they were not used to playing someone skilled with this character.

He's so damn slow. Winning with him pisses people off.

That alone makes Dhalsim a winnar.

In conclusion. Fuck E. Honda.

E. Honda, no doubt. Back when I played Street Fighter II in the arcades, I used five of the eight characters. The three I never used were Ken (because he was like a gay Ryu), Zangief (because he was too slow), and Dhalsim, because he was freaky and gimmicky. A boy raised by electric eels who can control electricity as a result? Fine. An indian dude who can stretch halfway across the screen? Now you're just pushing it, Capcom.

Hmm, I think I'm giving the edge to Dhalsim. Teleportation and all that fire to burn that bacon.

Here's the list why dhalsim powns
I can't say I ever really connected with E. Honda. Probably because my friend would stand in a corner and whore out the thousand palm slap.
Besides, it's just hardcore to be able to dislocate your arms and legs at will.
Icing on the cake:
the actor that was Dr. Dhalsim was in the SF movie was in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Kalima ftw

He's not an Arab, he's a medieval cannibalistic yet Ghandi like Hindu.

E. Honda. He helped me in my youth to understand how the morbid obeses can have their advantages. I guess he'll share that special spot in my heart forever with Fat Albert.

Dhalsim easily. Teleportation + yoga fire + yoga flame + corkscrew attacks make fat boy Dhalsim's bitch.

@ Fronz: "this long first round of the Street Fighter versus Mortal Kombat tournament will be coming to an end next week" - With two Street Fighters going against each other, isn't it really coming to an end this week? I think we're discovering what we've known all along - Street Fighter pwns Mortal Kombat.

Anywho, my vote's for Dhalsim. I hate the slow sonofabitch, but teleporting is FTW. The red stripes on his head are pretty cool, too.

E. Honda, Flying Headbutt and 100 hand slap are way better than that dhalsim's queer stretching and bad breath.

I'm probably going to vote for any street fighter character with the "First Inital - Last Name" setup going on.

E. Honda just never had what it takes to make it past third-string tacked-on cheap character. Sure, he's pretty mean in CvS2, but that alone can't tackle the incredible powerhouse that is Dhalsim. The 'Sim for the Win.

What? Only one more bracket? I hope you mean T. Hawk vs. Nightwolf. I've been waiting for that one.

Oh. E. Honda, btw.

Do most pacifists wear a NECKLACE OF SKULLS all the time?

Still, yoga fire is pretty awesome, so I vote for Dhalsim anyway.

Did we mean to leave the Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat idea behind?

Anyway, Dhalsim. Kicking ass with a sumo wrestler? It's been done. Ghandi? Pwns.

Dhalism.

Although, I'm rather confused. I thought this was supposed to be Street Fighter V.s. Mortal Kombat? This week is SF v.s. SF?

Dhalsim just because he's got the fire and the teleportation thing goin on. Dhalsim is hard to use well but that just makes it more rewarding when you figure him out.

Dhalsim. He'll use Yoga Flame to burn off all E. Honda's lard, thus taking away the source of his power.
