Mysteries of Yoga Exposed! - How to COUNTER Dhalsim

[@UltraScipio]

I’m not gonna lie you should do this with every character I’ve been looking for someone to give a breakdown on how to counter characters and your one of the only ones that gives a thorough breakdown on how to counter. Everyone else just explains how to play the character awesome vid

[@Zades145]

100%, most counter guides don’t say much other than ‘this special move is minus!’. not enough channels cover the basic setups and what your counter options are, and this game is FULL of little knowledge checks

[@bryansutt7077]

As a Dhalsim player I hate that this video exists and would dislike it, but I'd rather upvote and comment to help the algorithm in your favor. Thanks for all your training resources, Get those views!

[@Kroogles]

Longtime Sim main here. We get better when our opponents get better. Bring it on!

[@bryansutt7077]

@@Kroogles Not me, I just die a lot lol

[@Sehkem]

I didn’t think Dhalsim was that formidable in sf6 for a video like this to be done…Hmh…Sim is my main. I’m starting w/ AKI now.

[@ComputerFace24]

@@Kroogles Well said! Also a Sim main here.

[@bigdunks4eva]

As someone who uses Dhalsim a fair amount, people usually defeat themselves simply by not being patient. Dhalsim is a scrub killer against people who are impatient, or can't adjust their strategy

[@jamesw5713]

As a Dhalsim player 8:20 made me laugh, so so true 😂

[@markmelancon2914]

Currently climbing to master with Marisa and videos like this are so unbelievably useful.

[@TheAce1183]

Thanks for making this. Whenever i ask for tips vs dhalsim i always get vague answers or stuff I assume dhalsim players want me to play like. Never been able to win without going unga before so its nice to know a somewhat consistent way to deal with some of his more annoying tools. Thanks again

[@ThirdGuard]

Fireball into slide is also a common gimmick. I’ve never labbed it tbh but noticed you can get a punish counter throw before the fireball hits you

[@shinobiwannabe]

Depends on the spacing, If he hits early then you can punish counter. If he spaces it it’s 0F on block

[@Doma8307]

Thank you for this video. This is one of my worst matchups.

[@jpVari]

Thanks. Very helpful. Edit - I've thought about it a lot, I think he frustrates people because he feels so pre emptive. So it either feels like he read your mind or that he's just flow charting and you walked into it. Neither feel good. Of course it's not that simple I know he's very hard to play, just talking about how it feels to get bonked from across the screen. Looking forward to being able to approach things more calmly now that I have more knowledge on what to do. I vaguely knew some small parts of this but having it as concrete, and especially adding context like why a response is okay based on what the dhalsim spent for that opportunity is invaluable.

[@ComputerFace24]

Sim player here. Very solid tips in this video. I think knowing how to deal with float, teleport, and yoga fire/comet will get you 90% of the way there for most ranks of Dhalsim. Definitely make sure you're taking advantage of the forced juggle states you can put Sim in. It's also really worth learning the stuff your individual character can do. Zangief for example obviously struggles a lot in this matchup, so it's worth knowing how to use his armored heavy punch after drive rush to beat a lot of float options. Biggest thing is probably just not cracking and playing obvious, because that's what Sim wants. And be extremely cautious if you're going to jump as Sim as some of the best tools to deal with that.

[@mattbrn4369]

Yo bro. Be quiet now. You giving our tips up. Haha just kidding. In the end the power of Yoga is futile to resist 😅

[@karsa3038]

Thank you Strider, as a Marisa player this really helps!

[@jettmanas]

First vid I've seen for fighting him. Thanks.

[@turbofrog_froggy]

This is an AMAZING breakdown, and super applicable to any character, not just Marisa. I've been struggling with 1400-1500 MR Sims for a MINUTE, and every time I ask for advice I get stuff that isn't super actionable or is too general. A+ watch, and I'm feeling like I've got some fun stuff to practice.

[@turbofrog_froggy]

Follow up to this. It's only been a week, but seeing massive improvement in handling this matchup. Seriously, the amount of frustration this video negated for me is insane. Tell all your friends (I'm def telling mine)

[@ashfallen1]

Thanks for the tips! Now I won’t have a meltdown when I see Dhalsim on my screen.

[@outthefryinpan]

hell yeah, always had trouble with this one. thanks for just drilling the basics cause thats where i struggled

[@JayTdub13]

Thanks for the video. Gief struggles with this match up. I played you years ago in SF4 in OH. We're old now bruh.

[@timthaman5778]

Seasons beatings?

[@JayTdub13]

@@timthaman5778 I believe so.

[@Droptima1]

This is exactly what I needed. Please do one for Marisa vs Jamie too. Something about this matchup is just absolutely tilting when they can just turtle/drink and throw DR HP to blow out my armor and skip neutral. It basically these 2 killing me in Masters

[@foxyfarhadgaming]

Us SIM players taking notes on what players are now looking for 😂 13:05 it wasn’t mentioned so I’ll provide a free tip in case you weren’t aware…if you hit SIM with anything while he is still holding/charging the super, it disappears. No need to wait for him to release it. In the words of SMUG - thank you and you’re welcome 😁

[@gracefulleo8471]

Thanks man! As Marisa player (sub main), I actually see a lot of utilities from a superman punch. You can basically skip the neutral with it against Dhalsim, and they can not really punish it that much, especially if you not just mindlesly mash it nonstop, but be more mindfull about it.

[@co81385]

A great video! I wish that a video like this existed for SF5 Dhalsim!

[@timthaman5778]

This is the most important Marisa video yet. I have a very solid win percentage, outside of Dhalsim, Luke and Kimberly! I used to have problems with JP too, prepatch. Not anymore! LOL

[@Violent_Mitch]

thanks a lot for this video Also 8:20 VERY accurate 😂

[@r3so1ute]

i'm a dhalsim / marissa main. i'd say the main thing to look out for is his lvl 2. I can't tell you how many matches i've won because of that. It's my only real wake up reversal, so i just play around that all game, I only do SA3 when I happen to have it. I also almost never use s.hp only really as a way to mix up my fb set ups. Really sim's rushdown style is where he shines, it's like he's always mixing you up.

[@arkimpierre1731]

Gus is just reading minds at this point!

[@GearSecond8555]

*bows* thank you Strider-sensei

[@woozy1885]

this is the best video of all time

[@shaieresmirnoff]

Crimson just picked up gief that’s crazy he’s old school no matter what

[@berrycremeyesplease3585]

Thanks for this, literally was sitting down and looking for replays on how to deal with this character

[@rainofpain9820]

after seeing this... i wish that dhalsim from earlier would run it back again XD

[@franman6076]

Yep these dhalsims are cooked now 🔥🔥🔥

[@timeisnotaline]

This is the one I've been waiting for

[@lukusridley]

Thank you for exposing this yogic scam artist he has been running his fraudulence far too long

[@DB-cm4lf]

You're like a chill stoner dad giving your nephew some advice after his gf left him

[@corinfgc]

I've needed this.

[@jamesw5713]

God, they need to make his level 2 move horizontally like his SF4 ultra 1. Bit of Oki on knockdowns again.

[@Color_me_grey]

If you ex float fireball you can delay the teleport so there's the counter answer 7:05

[@801striderFGC]

Yeah, but you can just wait and react to tp before committing to the air to air

[@aledantih6524]

Thank you for the vid Strider, I honestly hate Dhalsim more than JP

[@LucianRudeboy]

This is great! I hardly ever play sim but last rank session I played 4 or 5 of them and damn near uninstalled the game lol

[@Apemopo]

Gurus hate him!

[@benjaminsimon362]

Awesome video learned alot

[@joshlister4938]

I love you for this 👉👈

[@Zarock01]

8:08 Exactly me.

Good shit gonna lab this with Ed

[@Pichoniix]

I really need this I always lose against this character.

[@raishijtenobles3103]

God thank you for this video

[@Raikuu11]

This a great video I play ryu and def need the help 😂

[@GForce4]

Any tips on sims that even close range float they AA Pretty much im at the range of jmp smp and the sim will insta jump float and ping me with safe air/ground normals and jumpi i get AA

[@purefire21]

I run him down with Guile and he can’t run

[@MessatsuInMemphis]

Is there a way to beat teleport easier with Luke? I’ve been using cr.hp but sometimes it gets clipped and st.lp is too slow and often whiffs. Crosscut dps aren’t reliable for me either

[@shinobiwannabe]

Jab

[@RandomPerson28337]

👍

[@realmadebypete]

LOVE THE CONTENT!! With all this knowledge I'm still going to lose to Sim ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@polkunus]

how do i whiff punish that and follow up with a combo with manon

[@yamcher_]

you can try to do back hp into qcb mk

[@polkunus]

@@yamcher_ whats a good button to whiff punish sim's heavy punch because manon's hp isnt cancellable.

[@yamcher_]

@@polkunus Im talking about back+heavy punch, not neutral heavy punch. You can combo into qcb+mk or even a spin kick on hit. b.hp doesnt extend her forward so its hard for sim to punish it even if you just throw it out randomly hoping to catch something

[@Ruby-yb8kk]

By the way dhalism can cancel crouching medium punch into di

[@shinobiwannabe]

This is legit how I got to diamond 2mp wait for DI, over and over and over

[@Ruby-yb8kk]

​@@shinobiwannabeyeah it's way too effective especially if your opponent is DI heavy

[@dmen0563]

I've never needed a guide for this character I just bum rush him. Only the bot ones and maybe the true great players give me issues

[@Ruby-yb8kk]

You're evil😂😂😂

[@XCT82]

hey strider, delete this please... lol?

[@alexanderperez2096]

As a dhalsim main it took you guys this long to figure out out counters to dhalsim. Shit isn’t that hard play patiently and bait out teleport. Not hard at all you can basically throw out normals all day.

[@Mr14041985]

Play Filipinos champ’s dhalsim and tell me he is not that deep😂😂😂

[@MrBornUnique]

I'm glad that you're showing me what you're looking for against Dhalsim mains and this will help me to change up a lot of my strategies against Marissa players now 💪🏾✊🏾👌🏾⚔🥷🤣💯
