Of all the characters in Ultra Street Fighter IV who spend their time bouncing off walls, teleporting, and generally making themselves a hassle to pin down, Rolento may be the worst. This is due in no small part to his evasive and annoying EX Mekong Delta Attack. Not only does this special spring from an ambiguous situation, but on block it leaves Rolento safe against many attacks.

Balrog in particular finds this attack difficult to stop, but as JavitsArias shows in the video below, a proper read of the incoming roll followed by a backwards jump can leave the boxer at prime distance for a massive punish.

Of course, this sort of punish applies to more characters than just Balrog. Give your own character a try and see what sorts of punishes that you can come up with!
