Shinkuu Hadouken (真空波動拳, Vacuum Surge Fist) is the name of a Super Combo used by Ryu, Sakura, and Ken (in crossovers only). Ryu has had the Shinkuu Hadouken ever since Street Fighter Alpha, where it was referred to as "Burst Fireball" or "Vacuum Fireball". There are also a few variants, such as Sakura's, called Shinkuu Tengyou Hadouken (真空天仰波動拳, Vacuum Heavenly Command Surge Fist) and Shinkuu Soukuu Hadouken (真空蒼空波動拳, Vacuum Blue Sky Surge Fist). Akuma possess a similar attack called the Messatsu Gou Hado. Dan has a parodied yet somewhat stronger version of this attack called the Shinku Gadouken.

Description
The Shinkuu Hadouken, as with most Super Combos, are simply a bigger and more powerful version of a special attack. In this case, it is Ryu's Hadouken, only with one extra quarter-circle forward movement before pressing punch. The move itself is a large, multi-hitting Hadoken which transverses the whole stage, but it is also often easily jumped over. The Shinkuu Hadouken has a unique property that lets it break through any projectile, such as a regular Hadouken or a Tiger Shot, which usually catches foes by surprise. The move can easily be used for a combo by landing a standard Hadouken, and then performing the Shinkuu Hadouken.

It makes its return in Super Street Fighter IV as Sakura's 2nd Ultra Combo and Ryu's Super Combo. Sakura has two versions of the move: a standard ground and an anti-air version. The ground version is done using the 3 punch buttons, whereas the anti-air version is performed using the 3 kick buttons.

In the crossover games, the Shinkuu Hadouken is actually a large laser resembling the "Kamehameha" from the Dragon Ball series (coincidentally, the very move that inspired the original Hadoken), though the attack strength and dodging it remains unchanged. In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the move returns as one of Ryu's Super Combos, and can be fired in multiple directions. In Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, while under the influence of "Denjin Mode", the Shinkuu Hadouken gains the ability to bounce off of walls.
