If the palmstrike connects, it is possible for Rufus to use [[Space Opera Symphony]] while the opponent is vulnerable. The attack has [[Armor Break]] properties and works slightly differently depending on which punch button was pressed. If light punch is used, the spin is very brief. If either medium punch or heavy punch is used, Rufus can move toward his opponent while spinning by holding forward. When the move is performed, each hit from the spin itself (not the palmstrike) can nullify a projectile. The [[EX Special]] version, albeit stationary, sucks the opponent towards Rufus in a vaccuum effect (similar to EX versions of [[Ryu]]'s [[Tatsumaki]] and [[Chun-Li]]'s [[Spinning Bird Kick]]), no matter the horizontal distance, and performs its final palmstrike with a different pose which inflicts more damage.

The Galactic Tornado is one of Rufus's special attacks, introduced in Street Fighter IV. It has a much more powerful version that serves as his second Ultra Combo.

Input
All appearances Quarter-circle forward + Punch

Description

Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing punch, Rufus will spin like a top, going towards his opponent. He will then finish off by throwing a palmstrike at the opponent's midsection, launching them.

Tactics

If the palmstrike connects, it is possible for Rufus to use Space Opera Symphony while the opponent is vulnerable. The attack has Armor Break properties and works slightly differently depending on which punch button was pressed. If light punch is used, the spin is very brief. If either medium punch or heavy punch is used, Rufus can move toward his opponent while spinning by holding forward. When the move is performed, each hit from the spin itself (not the palmstrike) can nullify a projectile. The EX Special version, albeit stationary, sucks the opponent towards Rufus in a vaccuum effect, no matter the horizontal distance, and performs its final palmstrike with a different pose which inflicts more damage.
