dhalsim trivia

some trivia about dhalsim, found on wikipedia:

  • Dhalsim can talk while blowing fire.
  • Dhalsim apparently does not, or did not always, have an oath of celibacy, as he has a wife, Sally and son, Datta. His family can be seen in Dhalsim's ending in the Street Fighter II series, and in updated versions of these games, Datta is re-drawn to look less like an offensive caricature. Sally can be seen in the background of Dhalsim's Street Fighter Alpha stages cheering him on.
  • Dhalsim often associates with elephants and with the elephant-headed god Ganesha. Elephants are visible in both his Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter II series stages. Ganesha is present as a large statue and on a tapestry in both series, respectively. Upon winning the original Street Fighter II with Dhalsim, he returns home riding an elephant named Kodal. Balrog once killed one of his elephants.
  • The skulls Dhalsim wears are those of children from his village who died of plague, not those of enemies, as Dhalsim will not take a human life.
  • Despite being a secondary character, Dhalsim has appeared in many of the crossover games.

I hate you Jim. Your post prompted me to go find out about the street fighter characters on wikipedia. Each one has their own likes, dislikes and special skills!

Balrog sounds like my kind of guy!
Special skill: Gambling
Likes: Women, Bourbon
Dislikes: Fish, Effort, Math

Also I think Zangief is just as much of a bender as his bearish exterior would suggest:
Special skill: Drinking vodka in one gulp, enduring the cold
Likes: Wrestling, Cossack Dancing
Dislikes: Projectiles, young beautiful women

Apparently, Balrog killed Dhalsim's elephant with a "Gigaton Punch". Sounds nasty.
