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 is one of the special moves for several characters such as Ryu and Ken in the {{uv|Street Fighter}} series.

Hadoken (波動拳, Surge Fist) (sometimes spelled Hadouken) is Ryu's neutral special in Super Smash Bros. 4. It involve Ryu charging up and releasing a large energy projectile of the same name. As with most of Ryu's moves, performing specific direction inputs changes the properties of the Hadouken.
Types
- Pressing only the special button performs the standard Hadoken, a small blue energy projectile, while Ryu voices out "Hadoken!" in a slightly stern voice. This version has low speed and damage, and travels only half of Final Destination's length. Ryu can only fire one projectile per second; attempting to fire another while one is still in play makes him do the move's pose with only a puff of smoke appearing from his hands. Deals 5%.
- Inputting the original arcade input for the move, down, down forward, special makes Ryu perform a stronger Hadoken, with him voicing out the attack with a fiercer voice. The projectile becomes slightly larger and minutely stronger in the process, doing 6-7% damage, but still travels slowly and has a range of half of Final Destination. The attack emits a tiny spark if the player successfully inputs it correctly, similar to the spark seen by fast falling fighters.
- Performing the move while moving the control stick in a semicircle (back, down, forward, special) will unleash a Shakunatsu Hadoken (灼熱波動拳, Red-Hot Surge Fist). This Hadoken is coloured a blazing red, does flame damage, and deals multiple hits before exploding upon hitting an opponent. The projectile deals a total of 7-8%; like other versions of the move however, knockback is weak and distance is unchanged. Ryu voices "Shakuna!" when using the move.
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. The move was included due to a glitch in the original game that would occasionally turn the regular Hadoken red, leading to rumors that this "red Hadoken" was stronger. Capcom thus decided to include an official "red Hadoken" that actually did have different properties than the regular blue Hadoken. 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 and could only burn the opponent at point-blank range. 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. The command for performing this in Smash is actually the one for Dhalsim's Yoga Flame, since the real Shakinatsu Hadoken command would probably be harder to pull off.
In the Street Fighter series, Ryu's Hadoken cannot be performed in the air. However, in crossover games, such as Marvel Vs. Capcom, Ryu has been able to do so.
