Description
Executed by performing a half-circle backwards motion and pressing punch, Dhalsim inhales deeply and breathes a large mass of flame that burns the opponent. In early Street Fighter II the original input was a half-circle forward motion which overlapped with the usual projectile input for Yoga Fire, which later resulted in the input change.
The EX Special version introduced in the Street Fighter IV series has no startup time and a longer horizontal range; it hits twice and deals nearly twice the damage.
Tactics
This move is ideal for counters and combo finishers as well as keeping opponents away.
