The Shakunetsu Hadoken was formally introduced in ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers}}'' as a new move for Ryu, a special red fireball that could burn the opponent. In the original ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter II}}'', the regular Hadoken occasionally turns red as an {{iw|wikipedia|easter egg|media}} (originally thought to be a glitch). While the easter egg is purely an aesthetic change, rumors eventually circulated that this "red Hadoken" was stronger; [[Capcom]] thus decided to make the "red Hadoken" a separate move with actual differences in properties (such as knocking down up-close in the ''Street Fighter Alpha/Zero'' games). The main reason for this decision was to differentiate Ryu and Ken, who were functionally identical except for some minor moveset characteristics beforehand. In the ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter III}}'' (excluding ''Street Fighter III: New Generation'') and ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter IV}}'' games, Shakunetsu Hadoken serves as Ryu's EX version of the move; Akuma being one practitioner of this attack still keeps it as a separate normal special move to this day, as he performs his signature focus stance as a delay before unleashing the move (Akuma's also has always done multiple hits prior to the EX move version). | The Shakunetsu Hadoken was formally introduced in ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers}}'' as a new move for Ryu, a special red fireball that could burn the opponent.

Note that in ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II Turbo}}'' | Note that in ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II Turbo}}'' Ryu's [[Shinku Hadoken]] was also referred to as just the Hadoken, as none of the characters' Super Combos were properly named onscreen in their debut. This was changed in ''Street Fighter Alpha''. | ||
Like with many of Ryu's other moves/techniques, this is arguably the most codifying example of a projectile attack in any fighting game. While most games would only allow one copy of a projectile to be on-screen at a time, later games allow multiple copies of them to be on-screen. This is played straight for Ryu's Hadoken in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' with the latter case. | Like with many of Ryu's other moves/techniques, this is arguably the most codifying example of a projectile attack in any fighting game.
