How tf do you beat dhalsim???

i just faced ts-sabin (rank 1 dude online) about 3 times now. i know he's a great player, but i literally had no answers for him. i play karin. and every instance i try to get closer he'll just teleport. his pokes never let you in. he just seems like to good of a character

1. he has a teleport that is relatively safe, and leaves you guessing, guessing in this game is deadly. plus he has an unlimited supply of this, while nash only can teleport once during his v-trigger, and its really good, just put that into perspective.

2. this game is heavily poke based. it basically revolves around poking, and sim has pokes... that go half screen... that are the same frames as normal pokes... wtf. he even has air stretch pokes, so dont ever think of going into the air with him.

3. he has 4 ♥♥♥♥ing anti airs. why.... whyyyyy. its hard as hell to get in on him as it is, why give him 4 ANTI AIRS....

4. his low kicks are slides, so if you jump at him and he isnt confident in anti airing, then he can just slide to avoid you with ease.

combine these all together you have a something that owns this games.

they made this character virtually to ♥♥♥♥ing good. there's basically no weakness. fighting sim is like fighting a boss, he has everything better than you, and more. if you have any tips, please tell me.

Get him in corner and he is done, don't jump and approach him quietly.
And watch out for teleports!

getting him the corner is the hardest thing to do, because its the only thing he has to look out for. lol

Just bully him, stay at max range and whiffpunish his pokes.
If he tries the Yoga Fire gimmiks,dash up and knock him down.
Yoga Flames are safe on block but not +, you can press buttons.
His teleports have recovery and can usualy be punished on reaction or OS.

Sim is far from being without weaknesses (he's slow and has long recovery for many moves), he just has a lot of tools made to get around his weaknesses. His whole game revolves around a very strict setup - fireball to prevent jump-ins, arm and leg stretches to avoid rushing in, slides to interrupt the player, throw to send you back on the other side of the screen, teleport in your back for overhead... Every Sim match is the really the same and the strategy didn't change since USF4.
If you wanna beat him you should then break his setup into pieces and find a proper answer to each of his attacks. For instance, his legs and arms can sure reach very far, but it also mean he has a much longer hurtbox... his slides can be thrown on hit (worst case you'll tech) and you should have your AA of choice ready for when he teleports.
I still have to beat a Sim for two consecutive rounds, but his game logic looks pretty transparent to me. A match against him is more like a puzzle game than a fighting game. A Gief may still surprise you... but a Sim mostly doesn't.

Oh and of course ts-sabin is probably a very good player too, so you shouldn't take him as a paradigm of the average Dhalsim.

Dude learn the MU.
He really isn't as tough as you think, you make him sound godly (which he is if in the right hands) but he can't hit ya if he can't touch ya.

When he keeps away, don't rush him. Wait for him to come to you, he's going to be doing a lot of lows, so what you have to do is sweep him (crouching heavy kick).

When he gets knocked down is when you have to rush the living hell out of him. He can't get pressure off of him unless if he does a V-reversal.

When he spits out a fireball, expect a teleport. The best thing to do is to mash jab, or time a medium punch combo perfectly.

If the fireball gets to close, jump backwards and do a heavy jumping kick. Trust me, it will reach him if he teleports behind you.

When he spits the fireball up in the air, you can do Karin's Ex shoulder move and punish him hard.

Basically block everything until he comes to you, if he tries to turtle you; rush him with your overhead special move attack.

That's pretty much it, don't become impatient.

Dhalsim - due to the limits of the moves of characters in this game- is very powerful. I agree- he is a bit of a beast to deal with just based on:
- damage scale higher in this game
- teleport teleport teleport
- frustration inducing player that can chip you down until you crack and make a move at the wrong time towards him.

Hadouken from mid-screen can be reacted to with a teleport into full punish combo from Dhalsim, I would not recommend trying to fireball war against him in SFV.
