Obviously snafoo is not "top of the world" class. I'm just saying the dude just played mad solid vs. KarambaJulien, JS Master, Art, and others. And since it was just your opinion that he wasn't impressive, I shouldn't have worded my post like I did as if I decide whether someone should be impressed or not.
But pulling out Eventhubs and iplaywinner tier lists? Really dude? Sim/Guile being 7-3 for Sim? That shit is ludicrous bruh. Your analysis of the match is a bit off as Guile is actually one of the worst characters for Sim to get into a fireball war with. Guile can throw booms just as fast as Sim throws Yoga Fires, and he also recovers almost twice as fast so he can advance a lot easier than you think. Sim does not run away easily in that matchup at all. If Guile can push Sim to a corner and stay just inside half screen distance from you, he has a pretty good means of preventing your escape and he can put good pressure on. By the same token Sim can trap Guile pretty easily if he gets him into a corner. That match is probably one of the closest to a pure 5-5 as I think Sim has in the game, and is nowhere near a 7-3, I don't care who came up with that tier list.
I never said he was bad. He's supposedly the best Dhalsim in Canada and I can believe it. I'm just saying, I'm judging him alongside the best in the world and that's where he pales in comparison.
As for the Eventhubs/Iplaywinner tier lists- That's all we got to go on for now and the Iplaywinner one is made by FilipinoChamp (second best USA Dhalsim) while Eventhubs one is supposedly from Japan I believe.
And for Guile-Sim, all I can go on is what I've read. From what I've seen, Guile does NOT have an easy time with this matchup since Dhalsim can either avoid sonic booms (jump into drill/yoga tower), match booms (yoga fire), or trade in his favor with limbs. Can Guile advance? Maybe. I don't know how fast Yoga Tower recovers, but I see it used a lot at high levels so I assume it's pretty much safe if you use it to avoid a boom. For running away- I assume if Dhalsim gets cornered, he can yoga fire and then teleport while Guile is in blockstun so he doesn't get punished. This is just a guess though.
Anyway, I would say you know the Guile-Dhalsim matchup better than me for sure. However, I wouldn't be too quick to discount the tier lists either. I think they know the matchup far better than both you and me.
