Shoryuken, meaning rising dragon punch, debuted as a signature special move for Ryu and Ken in Capcom's Street Fighter II, released in arcades in 1991. The shouted move name became one of the most recognisable voice lines in fighting games, alongside Hadoken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. As Street Fighter II spread to home consoles and tournaments, the clip was ripped, remixed and reused in videos and soundboards. Its brevity and unmistakable delivery keep it popular for gaming edits decades after the original arcade release.
