Messatsu Goshoryu

(Akuma's Super Art/Super Combo)

(Evil Ryu's Ultra Combo)

Messatsu Goshoryu (Obliterating Great Rising Dragon) is a special attack used by Akuma and Evil Ryu.

Description
Messatsu Goshoryu is functionally a stronger version of the Shoryu Reppa, and has a similar series of Shoryukens/Gou Shouryuukens. While this move does not scorch the opponent, a well-placed Messatsu Gou Shouryuu does a massive amount of damage. The level one and two versions consist of two Shoryukens, while the level three has three Shoryukens, though without flame.

In Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, the move appears as Evil Ryu's 2nd Ultra Combo. Evil Ryu begins the combo by shouting "Die!", and performs two 3 Shoryukens. Sometimes, an animation plays after the third uppercut, in which he charges ki in his hand and uses it to slam his opponent into the ground (similarly to Misogi) while yelling "Death's embrace awaits!" He then pulls his hand from their chest/torso.

The damage output can vary depending on how many hits are landed. The first Shoryuken does more damage than the second, but both must land (with the first being a Counter Hit) for the full animation to play.
