Fragrance Palm

Fragrance Palm is one of Rufus's Unique Attacks in the Street Fighter IV Series and Street Fighter X Tekken.

Description
Rufus does a forward thrust and extends both of his arms outward in opposite angles.

Street Fighter IV
Fragrance Palm has very little use in this game. It has very slow startup and can not be comboed into by Linking, rather it has to be used as part of Juggles, and even then this attack has to be spaced very specifically. Furthermore it sends the opponent a full screen distance away, which for the kind of character Rufus is he generally wants to be up front. Even against Grapplers, a character archtype Rufus rather stay away and poke at with his long normals against, can be better dealt with by way of his 1 frame close LK to close HP into Galactic Tornado.

This attack only provides comboability in the Corner, where this becomes one of Rufus's ample ways to combo into Space Opera Symphony. In that role though there are better options, such as a Galactic Tornado or a Messiah Kick, Light Kick, then cancel the Light Kick with Focus Attack, then BackDash and use said ultra.
