Shoryuken

Shoryuken (昇龍拳, Shoryūken, "Rising Dragon Fist") is a fictional special attack in the Street Fighter series used by Ryu, Ken and other Street Fighter characters trained under the same style. The move is a jumping uppercut in which the user spins, knocking the opponent to the ground

Different types of Shoryuken
Shoryuken (昇龍拳, shoryūken, "Rising Dragon Fist") - a spiraling punch, moving in an upward arc. The Shoryuken is invincible while the fist is rising, but completely vulnerable to counterattack when descending

Shouryuu Reppa (昇龍裂破, shōryu reppa, "Rising Dragon Wave") - a series of two or three Shoryuken that progressively cause more and more damage to an opponent each time he is hit.

Shinryuken (神龍拳, shinryuken, "Divine Dragon Fist") - a Shoryuken that corkscrews vertically into the air, causing a vacuum effect that sucks in the opponent and strikes him multiple times. Of all the Gouken-style Shoryuken, it was self-discovered by Ken, the only user of this move.

Shin Shoryuken (真・昇龍拳, shin-shoryūken, "True Rising Dragon Fist") - the "true" Shoryuken in which the practitioner strikes the opponent very hard with one fist.

Gou Shoryuken (豪昇龍拳, go shoryuken, "Great Rising Dragon Fist") - the original Shoryuken, which is a more powerful variation of the regular Shoryuken. While this was the standard Shoryuken at the time the art was founded, the lethality of the move increases when the practitioner embraces the Satsui no Hadou. This Shoryuken knocks the foe high into the air and slices its foe as the fist is rising up. A well-placed Gou Shoryuken can be fatal to an opponent – it has the ability to kill anyone in one stroke if the practitioner is skilled enough.

Metsu Shoryuken (滅・昇龍拳, metsu-shoryuken, "Destroying Rising Dragon Fist") - User slides forward striking with his elbow and then does a Shouryuu Ken.

Messatsu Gou Shouryuu (滅殺豪昇龍, messatsu go shoryu, "Annihilating Magnificent Rising Dragon") - A stronger version of the Shouryuu Reppa. While this move does not scorch the opponent, a well-placed Messatsu Gou Shouryuu can instantly kill an opponent with the least amount of effort.
