Team Fortress 2, released by Valve in 2007, gives the Pyro a taunt directly referencing the Hadouken fireball from Capcom's Street Fighter series, first made famous by Ryu. Performed with the shotgun or flare gun equipped, the taunt can kill a close enemy with fire damage, making it a risky show off move rather than a practical attack. Clips of successful Hadouken kills spread through early YouTube gaming videos and Garry's Mod animations, and the muffled shout remains a shorthand for the Pyro's chaotic, barely understandable character.

Pyro's muffled Hadouken taunt from Team Fortress 2, where the masked mercenary mimics the Street Fighter fireball move. Used for gaming kill and meme edits.
This is the Pyro performing the Hadouken taunt kill in Team Fortress 2, shouting the move name through a gas mask so it comes out as a garbled, muffled roar. The delivery starts low and garbled, then surges into a louder drawn out cry as the Pyro thrusts both hands forward in the classic fireball pose. Because the voice is almost unintelligible, the humour comes from the contrast between the deadly serious fighting game reference and the Pyro's squeaky, filtered mumbling, making the short clip land as both a threat and a joke.
