The term originates from what {{uv|Street Fighter}} players call characters derived from Ryu, a phrase derived from "[https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Shotokan Shotokan]", which is a colloquialism for anyone who fights using his style in the ''Street Fighter'' series of games—typically restricted to having a [[Hadoken|fireball]], a [[Shoryuken|jumping uppercut]] that functions as an anti-air, and a [[Tatsumaki Senpukyaku|spinning kick]] that gives forward momentum. It is derived from an error in the instruction manual of the SNES version of ''Street Fighter II'', which claimed this was the branch of karate that Ryu and Ken practiced (in reality, they practice an in-universe art called Ansatsuken). Since Ken is an [[Echo Fighter]] of Ryu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', players may use this term to refer to both of them simultaneously when applicable. | The term originates from what {{uv|Street Fighter}} players call characters derived from Ryu, a phrase derived from "[https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Shotokan Shotokan]", which is a colloquialism for anyone who fights using his style in the ''Street Fighter'' series of games—typically restricted to having a [[Hadoken|fireball]], a [[Shoryuken|jumping uppercut]] that functions as an anti-air, and a [[Tatsumaki Senpukyaku|spinning kick]] that gives forward momentum.
