Hadoken is one of the special moves for several characters such as Ryu and Ken in the {{uv|Street Fighter}} series. It involves the user thrusting their palms forward to fire a blue fireball projectile, or a surge of spirit energy, or Ki. It is normally performed by the player moving the joystick or D-pad a quarter circle forward towards the opponent from the down position, then pressing a punch button. The creator of ''Street Fighter'', Takashi Nishiyama, credits the 1970s anime ''Space Battleship Yamato'' as the inspiration of Hadoken, based off of a missile called Hadouho.

Hadoken (波動拳, Surge Fist) (sometimes called Hadouken) is Ryu's neutral special in Super Smash Bros. 4. This move appears to involve Ryu charging up and releasing a large energy projectile. Performing the original arcade input for the move increases the power of the move, while moving the control stick in a half-circle will unleash a Shakunatsu Hadouken (灼熱波動拳, Red-Hot Surge Fist).

Origin

Hadoken is one of the special moves for several characters such as Ryu and Ken in the Street Fighter series. It involves the user thrusting their palms forward to fire a blue fireball projectile, or a surge of spirit energy, or Ki. It is normally performed by the player moving the joystick or D-pad a quarter circle forward towards the opponent from the down position, then pressing a punch button. The creator of Street Fighter, Takashi Nishiyama, credits the 1970s anime Space Battleship Yamato as the inspiration of Hadoken, based off of a missile called Hadouho.

The Shakunatsu Hadoken was originally introduced in Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers as a new move for Ryu, which is a special red fireball that could burn the opponent. During the Street Fighter Alpha series, excluding Street Fighter Alpha 3, the Hadoken could briefly take on the appearance of the Shakunatsu Hadoken when the Heavy Punch button was pressed whenever Ryu used this move. For the later games, Shakunatsu Hadoken would serve as an EX move, as the EX version of the Hadoken (by contributing a small amount from the Super Combo meter when using it). Aside from Ryu, his counterpart Evil Ryu and Akuma can also use this move.
