"Shoryu-reppa is the ultimate combination move!"

"Here I go! Shoryureppa! (行くぜ! 昇龍裂破! Ikuze! Shouryuureppa!?)"
Ken

The Shoryureppa (昇龍裂破 Shouryuu Reppa?, "Rising Dragon Rend Blast"), also referred to as the Shadow Dragon by the manual for Super Street Fighter II Turbo (its debut), is one of Ken's special attacks, which frequently appears as a Super Combo.

In Street Fighter V, the Shoryureppa serves as Ken's EX Shoryuken while the Guren Enjinkyaku is his Critical Art.

Origin[]

Taking place during the events of Street Fighter I, Ken first used Shoryureppa during the Pan-American Fighting Championship against a fellow karateka (who non-canonically turns out to be Allen Snider in Street Fighter EX), he was able to counter Shoryuken by guarding then attacking Ken when left defenceless.[1] Ken counter-combos with a technique against the karateka who tried to attack after blocking the first Shoryuken, but was blown out of the ring when Ken unleashed the second Shoryuken.[2]

By the time the events of Street Fighter Alpha occurred only several months after, Ken begins his journey to find and challenge Ryu with his upgraded Shoryuken that now has the ability to engulf his hand with fiery ki-force, this being born from the individualism he sought (the storyline explanation being shifting ki into his fist during the uppercut in order to channel a fire elemental). Ken combines this with his Shoryureppa to completing it into three Shoryukens into one powerful technique.

Description[]

Ken performs a series of multi-hitting Shoryukens that sometimes light the opponent on fire, normally from a light "grounded" version to a stronger version per attack (normally two Shoryukens total). Higher levels of the move as well as certain versions in specific video games often involve three Shoryukens instead.

This move's very scheme also paves for a variety of similar looking attacks during its time, with one example being the Messatsu Gou Shouryuu.

Tactics[]

In all games, the move generally works well as a combo ender. However, it has a long recovery time as a result of the fierce Shoryuken at the end, and is easily punished if whiffed or blocked.

  1. However, in the final, it was different. The big man in the blue dogi, who is probably a karate practitioner, tightened his guard as if he had predicted the timing of the deciding technique, Shoryuken, and caught the falling defenseless Ken and slammed him into the ring. (しかし、決勝戦では勝手がちがった。おそらく空手の有段者であろうその青い道着の大男は、決め技の昇龍拳のタイミングを予測していたかのようにガードを固め、落下中の無防備なケンをつかまえて、リングにたたきつけた。もう昇龍拳は通用しない・・・・・・ケンは一気に、窮地に追い込まれた。) from All About Street Fighter Zero 2 page 18
  2. The opponent grinned and had his guard up. Did he win or lose...... It was this moment that’ll decide it. However, it was the big man in the dogi who flew out of the ring immediately after that. Use the first Shoryuken shallowly, then fall in front of the opponent, and then use the next Shoryuken immediately...... It’s a continuous technique that Ken himself wasn’t sure if he could pull it off. (相手は二ヤリと笑い、これをガードした。勝敗はついたか・・・・・・だれもがそう判断した瞬間だった。しかし、その直後にリング外に吹っ飛んだのは、道着の大男のほうだった。最初の昇龍拳を浅めに撃ち、落下予測点を手前にすらし、間髪入れすにつぎの昇龍拳を放つ・・・・・・ケン自身もできるとは思っていなかった連続技である。) from All About Street Fighter Zero 2 page 18
