Origin
Like many of his moves, it is a parody of an existing "shotokan-style" move (in this case, the Shoryuken), and is likely the result of Dan's limited understanding of the Shoryuken, gained while he was briefly under Gouken's tutelage.
Description
Executed the same as the Shoryuken, the Koryuken is also visually similar to the original move - a jumping uppercut with the fist half-extended, and the knee corresponding to the punching hand raised. In the Street Fighter IV series, the move appears similar to a Tiger Uppercut, with Dan raising the knee opposite the punching hand. However, unlike most Shoryuken-type attacks, Dan strikes with his leading hand, similar to the Forbidden Shoryuken.
The punch button used determines the damage, distance, and height; light punch has the least height, damage, and distance, while hard punch has the most, and medium is a balance of the two.
Tactics
As with the Shoryuken, this move functions well as an anti-air. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Dan may randomly flash before executing the move. Should he flash, he gains invincibility during the attack. Due to its random nature, the flash has no value as far as tactics go.
In the Street Fighter IV series, the invincibility of the move is instead determined by the button(s) used, with light giving none and the new EX Special version giving the most of the other three.[1] The EX Special also hits twice, but deals less damage than the heavy punch version.
