Sakura Kasugano first appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2 in 1996 as a schoolgirl who idolizes Ryu and taught herself his fighting style, including a smaller version of his Hadouken. Ultra Street Fighter IV, released in 2014 as the final update to Street Fighter IV, gave her an English voice performance of the move. Fans have since ripped the short shout for soundboards, combo videos, and meme edits, where its cheerful delivery stands out from the more serious male versions of the same attack.
About this sound
Sakura's Hadouken voice line from Ultra Street Fighter IV, the English version of her iconic projectile shout used in gaming edits and memes.
This is Sakura Kasugano's short, energetic Hadouken shout from Ultra Street Fighter IV, delivered in English with a bright, youthful voice. Lasting under a second, the clip captures her throwing her signature blue projectile attack, with the word punched out quickly and enthusiastically. Unlike Ryu or Ken's deeper versions, Sakura's sounds cheerful and determined rather than intimidating. That contrast makes it instantly recognizable to fighting game fans and gives any moment a playful burst of anime-style action energy when the sound hits.
