The Hurricane Kick is one of Ryu's signature special moves in Capcom's Street Fighter series, where he spins through the air while striking with an extended leg. The move became instantly recognisable to arcade players and later to a wider audience through gameplay videos, tournaments and online soundboards. Short clips of its distinctive spinning whoosh are now reused far beyond fighting games, especially in short-form edits where a single flashy move needs to land instantly with viewers.
