They just stand back and spam the HP/projectile trap. I quickly become helpless. Anything that I can do to avoid or pass through the projectile is negated by the HP. Blocking has some effect, but both the projectile and the HP knock me backward.
Is there anything I can do to at least make the opponent try another move?

Jump forward > instant knees will often stuff sim’s kick. If you sweep a low punch you will get an untouchable knockdown which allows you to get in.

KKK lariat them limbs dawg

Jump forward MP beats Dhalsim’s jumping MP if timed correctly. So does headbutt, but that’s pretty obvious.

Also, if you turtle and eat an instant overhead, it gives you an opportunity to get a free green hand to move forward. Then you can mix it up by either doing a KKK Lariat because he might try to poke you, EX green hand if he fireballs, or short jump->SPD if you’re in range to bait a back roundhouse.

For Zangief-Dhalsim and Zangief-Seth, I play the full-screen footsies game with them, patiently pushing them into the corner. This is much easier against Dhalsim than it is against Seth, but if you can predict a FB is coming, LP Hand so that you’re in front of it, and either block or EX Hand while during their recovery frames. Like any other matchup, I jump sparingly, and even more sparingly if my opponent’s reaction time is good enough. The Dhalsim matchup is slow, so take your time to download his tendencies.

I try to bulldog Dhalsim. He teleports I have a nifty little greenhand for him. He uses jumpback fierce from a bad angle I lariat.

@WorstGiefEVER- that is good shit. I will definitely try those out, thanks. Played Henry Cen’s Sim last week and it was not a pretty sight. I had to play borderline insane to pass his optimal range. I think I took one round barely and he nearly perfected me two rounds.

I’ve never even THOUGHT of trying to sweep his low punch. Do you mean his st.hp (it looks low) or does it only work on his cr.hp? Do you have much luck with this? Is it difficult?

Also, just tossing this out there, I’ve had some good look with using cr.mp against Seth’s j.hp. It doesn’t get a knockdown like a lariat would, but it seems to be hard for Seth to stuff and you’re not spinning around like an idiot if you happen to whiff.

^Headbutt Seth’s j. fp and get instastun, lol

I’ve done that. And it’s epic when it happens. I actually once had a Seth player message me and say “Thank you” because he’d heard of it but never actually seen it until I did it.

Anything is better than PPP on reaction to a seth nj cuz seths learned a long time ago lariat beats it clean, but you have to predict it…grrrrr. Pure bait.

Cr.mp?? HB?? Hmmm need to try that.

I’ve had moderate success with superman punch over a boom if he’s using j.hp to tag you in the air

What a disgusting matchup

Hoping those jumping arms get nerfed to HELL in AE
