Description

Dhalsim throwing Cammy's over using Yoga Splash.

"Grab an opponent's legs to disrupt their balance and send them flying. Throws your opponent without switching places with them."

—Street Fighter 6

Executed by pressing down plus Light Punch and Light Kick, (or the Light Attack and Medium Attack for Modern Control) near an opponent. After grabbing the opponent by the ankles, Dhalsim pulls on their legs; causing them to fall on their back. Dhalsim does a handstand and transitions into a backbend while once again grasping the opponent's ankles. Using forward angular momentum, Dhalsim heaves his opponent across the stage, causing them to land on the back of their neck before rolling over on their stomach.

Tactics

Even though Dhalsim's gameplan utilizes long-range pokes and fireballs, he does have multiple options after scoring a knockdown. By teleporting toward the opponent as they are recovering, Dhalsim puts the opponent in a situation where they are forced to guess Dhalsim's next attack. While he could pester them with Light normals or fish for hit-confirms, Dhalsim can also use his throw to keep them on their heels, especially when they are constantly crouch-blocking. While his forward throw allows Dhalsim to get decent okizeme, Yoga Splash tosses them across the screen, creating separation between him and the opponent. Because of the added distance, Dhalsim can zone out his opponent with long-range pokes or projectiles to attack them from afar.

Trivia

• This is Dhalsim's first crouching throw. There have been throws against a crouching opponent such as Dream Driver or Horosho Chokeslam
