Top 10 Best Street Fighter Special Moves

RYU – SHORYUKEN

The Shoryuken might be the most famous attack in all of fighting games. Capcom references it in their own games often, but it has homages in Tekken, Super Smash Bros. and even a few Mario games.

Several characters in Street Fighter have their own variations on the Shoryuken, including Ken’s fire-powered uppercut and Sakura’s uppercut that hits up to 10 times.

There’s a good reason why Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono ends many of his speeches by getting the crowd to “Shoryuken” together. Everyone who plays games knows the Shoryuken, and it’ll continue to show up everywhere for years to come.
