Yoga Shangri-La



Yoga Shangri-La is Dhalsim's second Ultra Combo. Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing triple punch while airborne, the attack sees Dhalsim stretch his arms diagonally downwards while saying "Come with me, friend". If his hands find the opponent, they will grab the enemy's shoulders and Dhalsim will repeatedly use them to pull himself headfirst into the opponent's head like a repeating piledriver from above, saying "Yoga!" each time. On the final driving headbutt, he will also rotate like a drill while saying "Yoga... Shangri-La!".

Trivia

 * The attack may be inspired by the arcane practice of trepanation, which involves drilling a hole in a person's skull to allow room for the brain to expand and attain enlightenment. In certain obscure Hindu cults, this hole is considered the "third eye".
