This page is about Ryu's up special. For Mega Man's Mega Upper, see here.

Shoryuken (昇龍拳, Rising Dragon Fist) is Ryu's up special in Super Smash Bros. 4. Ryu attacks using a powerful uppercut; he can also use this move to recover. The move's strength depends on how long the special button is held. Additionally, it can K.O. the opponent at higher percentage. Similar to Ryu's other special moves, performing the original arcade input of a Z (side, down, and diagonally down) increases the power. Performing the orginal input also gives the move invincibility similar to the original attack.
