Tiger Uppercut comes from Capcom's Street Fighter series, where Sagat, the tall Muay Thai fighter from Thailand, uses a family of Tiger moves including Tiger Shot and Tiger Knee. Sagat first appeared as a boss in the original Street Fighter in 1987 and became a regular playable character in Street Fighter II. His shouted move calls were a hallmark of arcade fighting games, helping players recognise attacks instantly. The clip remains popular online for edits, soundboards and retro gaming videos celebrating that arcade era.
