—Dhalsim

Yoga Sunburst (ヨガサンバースト, Yoga Sanbāsuto^?) is Dhalsim's Critical Art in Street Fighter V. It is also his Level 2 Super Art in Street Fighter 6

Description

"Blow an enormous mass of flames into the air which then fall to the ground. Can be used as an anti-air attack or in combos after knocking an opponent into the air."

—Street Fighter 6

Executed by performing two quarter-circle motions forward and pressing punch, Dhalsim takes a deep breath in, making his belly enlarge. He then spits out a slow-moving giant ball of flame that arcs and hits the opponent. It can be used on the ground or in the air. The player can also make the fireball stronger by holding the punch button, increasing the hits and damage.

Tactics

Much like the Yoga Catastrophe, this attack can be used to trap the opponent. However, it is more frequently used as a combo ender. It can be used in the air following a Yoga Gale, though most Dhalsim players prefer using it after Yoga Flame for reliable damage.

While it can be used as a reversal and an anti-air, Yoga Sunburst's high hitbox makes it whiff against any crouching opponents, making it a risky option to use against a savvy opponent.

Dhalsim should not use Yoga Sunburst as a "get off me" attack as his opponent can simply throw him out of the attack (shown here).
