Hurricane Upper is one of the Avatar's and Joe Higashi's special attacks, being taught to the Avatar in Street Fighter 6 by Joe in World Tour mode.
Description
Executed by performing a half-circle back motion, then a half-circle forward motion and pressing punch, the Avatar performs an uppercut infused with wind power, launching a tornado forward that dissipates after traveling roughly half of the screen's length. The OD version fires two Hurricane Uppers with a second uppercut.
Tactics
Hurricane Upper's long vertical hitbox makes it useful against attacks that would otherwise low-profile it, such as Dhalsim's slides or A.K.I.'s Snake Step.
