Me, being a dedicated Dhalsim (hell, I even shaved my head in his
honor), I find that Chun LI can destroy Dhalsim with a couple of moves.
One is that damn kick in the back of the head.  After doing that,
usually I try to counter throw, but I can't and Dhalsim's head just pops
out (head butt) and I get hit.  Slides don't work against it.  That
little strong chop (uppercut?) doesn't do diddly, and if you're in the
corner, that neck kick is altogether unblockable.  So, after I block it,
I must defend.  She can either throw me, or crouch roundhouse me, or
lightning kick.  The key is keeping her away so that she can't get this
move off.  Another advantage Chun Li has over Dhalsim is surprisingly,
her spinning bird kick.  When I see it coming, it's hard to get a
fireball off safely, because after burning her, her foot will still hit
you, resulting in a trade, with Dhalsim taking more damage.  I try to
fierce punch her when she lands from her spinning bird kick, but rarely
will you hit her.  A drill will work rarely.  Her legs will kick you
during that spinning bird kick.  Pretty tough, but most Chun Lis here
haven't realized what to do against me.  They all jump and lightning
kick, so I have my timing down where I'll kick them out of the air
pretty easily.  

Have any of you seen the Chun Li/Dhalsim bug where Chun Li can
continuously pogo kick Dhalsim?

I had a guy do it to me, and we were freaking.  He hit me with a heel
stomp, and continued pushing the forward button.  She would kick me, I
would fly up after being hit, she would kick me, I would fly up after
being hit, etc.....   It looked like Chun Li was climbing stairs on
Dhalsim.  After getting hit with about 4 stomps, both our characters
were WAY up over he screen.  After that he couldn't pogo kick me
anymore (hell, we couldnt see where we were).  When we both landed, I
did a head butt and stunned hit :).  We both were just yelling like
little kids, because I thought for sure I was stunned, and I stunned
him, and we both were yelling about Chun Li "climbing the stairs".
What was funny though, is that we landed at the same time at the same
speed.  Weird.  Real weird.
