The Zanku Hadosho (斬空波動掌, Air Slash Surge Palm) is one of Oni's special attacks, introduced in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.

Description
Executed in mid-air by performing a quarter-circle backwards motion and pressing punch, the attack sees Oni fire a small Hadou from his palm, propelling him in the opposite direction from it. Depending on which punch button is pressed, Oni can go in three different directions: light punch shoots a burst of ki backward which propels him forward, medium punch shoots a burst of ki downward which propels him upward, heavy punch shoots a burst of ki forward which propels him backward.
Tactics
As well as giving Oni greater maneuverability in the air, the Hadosho is also an attack which can damage the opponent: Oni can thus use it as a way to poke at the opponent's defenses while also moving away from attempted counterattacks.
Oni cannot use any other attacks during a single jump, as punching or kicking during a jump and then attempting a Zanku Hadosho will result in failure. Performing a Zanku Hadosho and then attempting another attack works. However, notably, the Zanku Hadosho can be canceled into Oni's aerial version of the Raging Demon.
