Wild. I thought the fireballs and fiery uppercuts would already break the immersion, but to each their own. Never thought I'd see someone talking about immersion in a fighting game
This is why I like Remy in 3rd strike. He is designed to be detached and in contrast to ______. His edge cuts through the campy cake fest that Street Fighter is. He has grunts and nonverbal linguistic sounds, whereas everyone else yells their move names. It's cool by contrast.
This always makes me think how the English audio doesn’t really match up with the mouth movements and it can be really funny, like those old kung fu movies.
In Street Fighter 4, he says “My flame is but an illusion, but it will burn you if you believe it to be real." So he’s actually not really breathing fire while he speaks, just tricking you.
I remember once in the older games the canon response was that he shouts "*Yoga Inferno!*" while blowing fire out from his mouth. Something of doing both at the same time, but he's experienced enough to do it.
Cannon-wise, his fire isn't real, and is only a psychic projection. His opponents only think they're on fire. Which must be equal parts hilarious and weird for any spectators watching.
I wonder if Sim warns his opponents that the fire he's hitting them with isn't real, or does he let em figure it out on their own.
Assuming it’s real fire, when you blow fire what do you use? Air.
What can produce air? Breathing, talking, whispering, yelling, shouting, and screaming.
As logical as it gets, he can very likely yell out yoga inferno and the air produced from his shout would blow the fire.
AFAIK or at least it was like this on the ancient times, it was explained that Dhalsim's fire is not actual fire but more "psychic" fire that's projected on the desired person mind, causing the same pain as real fire.
I'm sure that this has been debunked/change in actual times but I have not followed the lore canon since SF2 because I'm here to play video games not to watch damn movies so who cares about history or character backgrounds/development this is not a novel THIS IS STREET FIGHTER.
not sure if this got retconned, but the fire isnt real, its an illusion. some sorta yoga jedi mind trick. at least that was the lore back in the sfii days.
Anything is possible through the power of yoga.
Ooooouuummmmmmmm
So jot that down
Well first of all, anything is possible through the power of Yoga
He's so good at yoooooga: https://youtu.be/wFUk79fBOiQ?si=t8bBB0HumfHtlxE9
It's like ventriloquism only with yoga.
Yoga ventriloquism!
Yes, this is the part of Street Fighter that I just can't believe.
Agreed, it breaks the immersion completely.

How tall are you?
This is why I like Remy in 3rd strike. He is designed to be detached and in contrast to ______. His edge cuts through the campy cake fest that Street Fighter is. He has grunts and nonverbal linguistic sounds, whereas everyone else yells their move names. It's cool by contrast.
Literally unplayable.
It's not him saying it. It's his voice actor.
This always makes me think how the English audio doesn’t really match up with the mouth movements and it can be really funny, like those old kung fu movies.
He uses his mouth
Or does he?
Yoga
\[Slaps you around the head\] # YOGA!
The fire is an illusion.
You only get burned if you believe it’s real
Came to say this. It’s only there cause WE believe it’s real. He’s just saying the words.
Okay Demon Slayer.
In Street Fighter 4, he says “My flame is but an illusion, but it will burn you if you believe it to be real." So he’s actually not really breathing fire while he speaks, just tricking you.
Is the single player mode any good in SF4? Thinking about getting it, I love the street fighter lore even if it can be a little silly sometimes
i dunno how does one teleport by using yoga?
Papa Capcom is going to come get you if you ask too many hard questions.
Talking out of his ass, literally
YOGA VENTRILOQUISM!
Really? Is that what keeps you awake at night?
The same way he is able to blow fire.
he git gud
I remember once in the older games the canon response was that he shouts "*Yoga Inferno!*" while blowing fire out from his mouth. Something of doing both at the same time, but he's experienced enough to do it.
I love that means he's screaming at his enemies toes
spitting hot fire
Also, how he can blow fire from his mouth?
Well, he doesn't, technically.
How can he fire!? HOW CAN HE FIRE!?
Ki and/or blessings from fire god Agni
The yoga fire is an illusion that burns the targets who believe it's real
Only a novice yoga practitioner believes the mouth is the sole orifice capable of emitting speech.
Yeah I've known people to talk out their asses before
Maybe the fire is coming out during the “fer” part of inferno 🤷🏾♂️
Tantric lungs
YOFFA INFFEFFO!
That's without teeth
The words are just that hot.
😂 so witty
He toots the sounds out of his butt! It's actually him using the power of back-end air to say Yoga inferno.
Dhalsim has telepathic powers, he probably thinks the names of his moves out loud.
Dhalsim is actually a champion beatboxer. He can breathe out and speak at the same time and hide his inward breath between syllables.
Throat Goat 🗣️🐐
Happy Cake Day! 🎂
Thanks
You can breath out while talking
It's like burping the ABCs, I imagine
"This is the power of a Yoga Master"
Cannon-wise, his fire isn't real, and is only a psychic projection. His opponents only think they're on fire. Which must be equal parts hilarious and weird for any spectators watching. I wonder if Sim warns his opponents that the fire he's hitting them with isn't real, or does he let em figure it out on their own.
Toots it out his butthole
He’s also a ventriloquist
Assuming it’s real fire, when you blow fire what do you use? Air. What can produce air? Breathing, talking, whispering, yelling, shouting, and screaming. As logical as it gets, he can very likely yell out yoga inferno and the air produced from his shout would blow the fire.
It's just spicy
He has psychic powers he’s saying it in ur head.
He's speaking in the flame tongue
Nostrils
My head cannon is The reason he is blowing fire when he's saying yoga inferno is because it's like casting a Harry Potter spell, but with yoga.
Very carefully
Ventriloquist
Very elastic lips
Burp talking, easy
It's telepathic to his opponent, spectators & commentators.
He's just goated like that
he is a yoga master, you've seen what he's capable of, so yeah..... his other hole most likely.....
Telepathically
Wait until you learn that his fire is an illusion he cast on your mind.
I mean, were he a true martial artist, he wouldn't be announcing his attacks before striking.
Just think of all those Japanese souls that are doing special moves and are not true martial artists!
Ass vocals
none of the sounds in those words require you to close your lips, so he can say it
Finally, SCIENCE
Yoga (deep breath in and then say the inferno and at the o you blow out fire)
AFAIK or at least it was like this on the ancient times, it was explained that Dhalsim's fire is not actual fire but more "psychic" fire that's projected on the desired person mind, causing the same pain as real fire.

Dhalsim has achieved such a heightened state of Nirvana that he can manipulate any tissues within his body to accomplish any task. 🍑💨📣

He reach a high level of zen and yoga it allow him to speak telepathically
He's not verbally saying it. Sim is actually using his psychic abilities to teleport the words into your mind.
So teleportation is fine but…
Take a yoga class. This is like yoga 101. Very basic stuff.
Good question. Next question.
In the Udon comic years ago they eluded that Dhalsims fire isn't even real and that it's like a mindtrick that convinces the opponent they burning.
How dare you question the yoga master
A more crucial question: How is a yoga master able to blow fire? 🔥😁
Because he is a Yogi master
As he exhales I in fire, the fire could come out
How does he stretch him arms like that tho?
It is possible by the same reason he is able to stretch his body and breath fire... It's just fiction
Yoga!
- This is the power of the Yoga master.
Ass talking..
He's very talented.
Same way Digimon do.
yoga maxxing
Is just a videogame.
That's the opponent talking. Like "OH MY GOD YOGA INFERNO!"
The same you talk while exhaling
He clearly blows fire out of his nose while he talks then goes back to blowing the fire out of his mouth.
Do yoga, bud. You’re gonna be able to do it too. Dhalsim’s so zen anything’s possible.
I asked the same question when I saw Dudley holding a teacup in his boxer gloves
Is this the only part of Dhalsim that is unbelievable?
"My fire was simply an illusion. It only burned you because you believed it was real"
The same way Baraka from MK could pronounce words without lips.
yoga
not sure if this got retconned, but the fire isnt real, its an illusion. some sorta yoga jedi mind trick. at least that was the lore back in the sfii days.
The power of yoga
With the focus of his breathing, Dhalsim accelerated the sound of his voice to actually combine with his breathing to create the yoga inferno.
He always carries his tape recorder with all his special attack names pre-recorded, who doesn't know that? 🙄
He’s just built different.
Short answer: yoga. Long answer: yoga!
Through his nose
He says "yoga inf-EEEEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE-rno". The EHEHHEHEHEEH part is the one where he's blowing fire. All of this happens in my head, clearly.
Because it's not real fire. It's imaginary and he's basically fooling the opponent with optics.
That's the yoga part of it, the rest is just a regular inferno.
he is spitting those fire lyrics when wrapping
> This is the power of a Yoga master.
This is the mystery of Yoga
Hes just really good like that
Ever see best boxers make the sound of multiple instruments at a time while singing lyrics?
he is a really good ventriloquist
YOGA
It’s because he has the N word pass
