Description

Abel using Breathless on Xiaoyu in Street Fighter X Tekken

Abel goes into a tackling stance, gaining Super Armor for the move's duration, and quickly leaps towards his opponent in order to grab them. Upon successfully grabbing them, he lifts them up on his shoulders and swings them around with enough force to form a tornado around him, shouting as he does so. Depending on which games, the final sequence is vastly different.

Super Street Fighter IV

Abel then throws the opponent in the air, catches them with his knee and finishes them off by rolling horizontally across the screen and throwing them straight into the side "wall" of the stage.

Street Fighter X Tekken

Abel throws the foe into the air and, upon catching them, executes the same rolling slam he uses to end his Soulless Ultra Combo in the Street Fighter IV games.

Tactics

Breathless can be charged if the user holds down the buttons, timing the leap when the opponent is most vulnerable. The user can also cancel this move if they feel it may not connect.
