The Hadouken is the signature special move of Ryu, and later Ken, from Capcom's Street Fighter series, first appearing in the original 1987 arcade game and made famous by Street Fighter II in 1991. The shouted Japanese phrase roughly means surge fist, and the blue fireball became one of gaming's most imitated images. Through arcade culture, tournaments, cartoons and internet memes, the cry spread far beyond fighting games, and creators still use it today as instant shorthand for unleashing hidden power.

Ryu's iconic Hadouken shout from Street Fighter, yelled as he fires his blue energy blast. Perfect for attack scenes, comebacks and power-up moments.
This is the legendary Hadouken battle cry from Street Fighter, shouted by Ryu the instant before he hurls his glowing blue fireball. The voice is sharp, forceful and slightly echoing, stretched over a rising rush of energy that snaps into the impact. Even at just one second long, it instantly signals a devastating attack is coming. Viewers who grew up on fighting games feel a jolt of nostalgia and hype, while newcomers read it as pure over-the-top power, which is why the clip lands so hard as a punchline or finishing move.
