Hadouken debuted as Ryu's signature projectile move in Capcom's Street Fighter series and became famous worldwide with Street Fighter II in arcades in 1991. The name combines Japanese words for wave and fist, matching the cupped-hand fireball Ryu and Ken throw. Players shouted it along in arcades, and the sampled cry later spread to forums, flash animations and early video memes. Because it instantly signals a classic fighting game attack, creators still reuse the sound for parodies, rematches and any over-the-top throw, long after the original cabinets disappeared.

The iconic Hadouken shout from Street Fighter, Ryu's signature fireball attack cry used in gaming edits, anime fight scenes and meme battles.
This is the short, punchy Hadouken cry from the Street Fighter fighting games, shouted as Ryu or Ken launches a blue fireball from his hands. The voice hits hard and fast, rising on the final syllable with the whoosh of the projectile behind it, so it reads instantly even without the visual. At just over a second it lands like a verbal punch, turning any thrown object, lunge or sudden attack in an edit into a joke arcade move. Viewers who grew up with arcades recognise it immediately and expect an impact right after.
