Jav1ts and I were talking and he thought it would be a good idea to share some strategy with the community in regard to dealing with Yoga Snipers for those that might be having trouble with the matchup. So, we threw together a little video demonstrating a few different ways you can punish him using several different characters.
From the desk of Jav1ts: The purpose of the video was to show that Dhalsim is actually punishable by certain characters at certain distances so it’s not really necessary to show every possible punish. My aim was to inspire new ideas so that everyone can do better in the Dhalsim matchup which for many people can be very frustrating. Good luck finding more punishes with your main character.

Punishes Used:
Midscreen:
Balrog - Reversal Fwd Smash
Balrog - Reversal Super (PPKK)
Cammy - Reversal RH Super
Gen - Delayed Super*
Gen - Delayed Ultra*
Gen - Delayed Super, Ultra*
Ryu - Reversal Fierce Super
Seth - Reversal/Delayed Fierce Super
Seth - Reversal/Delayed Ultra
As a Ryu player, I’m always looking to land the Super when I have it. I’ll sit there and do crouch block just to invite Sim players into a jumping fierce. Problem is that I’ve never landed it, the EX SRK always comes out instead
I think Bison could punish with any special except devil’s reverse. Slide would probably work too.
I play Rose, and while i can’t remember if I’ve used ultra to punish the sniper, I’m pretty sure it would. Rose’s super is just like Ryu’s so that’s a guarantee. If I want to think really complex, then maybe it’s possible for Rose to dash forward and do her :r::hk:. or maybe soul throw/spiral.
I think EX Psycho crusher gets across quick enough too. I know it does for Gouki players who jump back air fireball XD loves punishing them for it mwahah
Vega can reversal ultra about 90% of the time. Only at some specific distances the ultra will whiff. Xaaz and I will demonstrate this in the next video… stay tuned.
BizzyRok, Akuma cannot reversal ultra if he is hit by a max range yoga sniper. However, he can reversal ultra from slightly closer than max range.
SlappySlaps, Honda can EX headbutt from slightly closer than the max range yoga sniper. He can also reversal ultra but again, has to be closer.

Might be an idea to make the list bigger as we go since its here anyway now?
Anyway ,
**C.Viper: **can do EX thunderknuckle to punish, and I believe if tied correctly do her ultra, visual cue to this is if Sim crumbles and isn’t ‘floating’ otherwise ultra will whiff.
Scrap that, after attempting it a dozen times in training mode it would appear you can indeed do EX thunderknuckle to punish (it has to hit when Sim almost touches the ground again), but a ultra is impossible since by the time Sim hits the ground again he blocks. ^^
If the distance is right could you aim for a 1 hit EX TK while he’s still in the air then Ultra as he’s falling. I know for a fact that if EX TK gets only 1 hit in the air the person is in a juggle state and can be Ultra’d afterwards.
