[[Ryu]]'s [[Final Smash]] is unique as he can perform two versions of the attack, a first for a Final Smash. They are named '''Shin Shoryuken''' ({{ja|真・昇龍拳|Shin Shōryūken}}, ''True Rising Dragon Fist''), a three-hit trapping combo, and '''Shinku Hadoken''' ({{ja|真空波動拳|Shinkū Hadōken}}, ''Vacuum Surge Fist''), a projectile. Whichever attack he uses depends on how close he is to the opponent.

At any range other than point blank, Ryu will perform the '''Shinku Hadoken''' ({{ja|真空波動拳|Shinkū Hadōken}}, ''Vacuum Surge Fist''), a powerful version of his standard special, [[Hadoken]].

Upon use, the camera zooms in on Ryu while he gathers great amounts of blue energy (''Ki'') into his hands. He then announces "Shinku... HADOKEN!!", before firing a large blue [[projectile]]. Despite the projectile's small size (being only somewhat bigger than an Input Hadoken), it has a strong [[wind#pulling attacks|vacuum ]] effect, which pulls opponents towards it and makes the move deceptively difficult to escape from. Victims trapped in the projectile take constant damage, and are sent flying when the projectile explodes after traveling the distance of Final Destination.

Considering opponents get trapped the moment Ryu unleashes the projectile, Shinku Hadoken deals a maximum of 29-30% damage (19 repeated hits for 19%, final hit dealing 10% and carrying all the knockback). The final hit's knockback is somewhat lacking for a Final Smash, only KOing at 115%; it is therefore more efficient to take advantage of the projectile's vacuum effect to drag opponents towards the blast lines, where it can KO much earlier. Finally, the projectile has very little endlag compared to most Final Smashes, allowing Ryu to quickly get into position to finish opponents who survived the attack.

If Ryu uses his Final Smash right next to an opponent, he will instead perform the '''Shin Shoryuken''' ({{ja|真・昇龍拳|Shin Shōryūken}}, ''True Rising Dragon Fist''), a powerful 3-hit [[Shoryuken]] which has extremely high KO power, but requires precise positioning and typically focuses on a single target.

Upon use, the camera zooms in, and Ryu [[stun]]s the opponent with a flash of purple lightning that cuts across the screen (deals 1%), before swinging his right fist for an uppercut (10%). He then performs another uppercut with his left fist, briefly pausing mid-uppercut against the opponent's chin when grunting the word "Shin..." (10%), before leaping upward and announcing "SHORYUKEN!!" (20%) The first two punches cause white ink-like effects, while the final blow causes black ink to surround the opponent while violent action lines focus on the Final Smash's victim.

The move deals 41% damage in total, and the final hit is extremely powerful, enough to KO reliably at 28%, although Ryu has to be close (sometimes even touching) the opponent for it to activate, otherwise his Final Smash becomes the Shinku Hadoken. The Final Smash can miss at this range as well, either due to [[intangibility]], or being too far away to be trapped; if so, Ryu performs a 6-hit Shoryuken, dealing a measly 15%, before landing on the ground.

An unique aesthetic effect of the final blow depends on whether the opponent is dealt enough knockback to be KO'd: the entire screen becomes covered in an orange background, along with a unique sound effect and Ryu announcing "SHORYUKEN!" in a fiercer tone. This background and sound effect is used in the ''Street Fighter'' series when a fighter is KO'd by a Super or Ultra Combo. The background does not appear if the last hit does not have enough force to KO the opponent (e.g. if the opponent is at 0%).

==Trophy Description==

[[File:ShinShoryukenTrophyWiiU.png|thumb|left|Shin Shoryuken / Shinku Hadoken trophy in {{forwiiu}}]]

{{Flag|ntsc}} ''Use this attack when Ryu is far away from an enemy to unleash a Shinku Hadoken that penetrates through the stage. But if you use it when Ryu is close to an enemy, he’ll unleash a Shin Shoryuken uppercut attack. When it hits, Ryu will follow up with his other fist and launch the opponent up, up, and away!''

{{Flag|pal}} ''Ryu's Final Smash takes on two different forms depending on how close Ryu is to the enemy. If he's farther away, he'll use Shinku Hadoken, a move that pulls in any enemies nearby. If closer, he'll instead use Shin Shoryuken. He'll hit the enemy once with a powerful uppercut, then follow it up with the other fist to finish the job!''

The Shinku Hadoken (also spelled as "Shinkuu Hadouken" via extra-vowel usage in romaji) first appeared in ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II Turbo}}'' as his trademark Super Combo (its name wasn't originally presented onscreen until ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter Alpha}}'') that later appeared in several games ever since its debut. In most ''Street Fighter'' games, it is a somewhat-larger, a multi-hitting version of the Hadoken which paved way for projectile durability ratings in other fighting games (when different projectiles clash with each other to see which one comes out on top).

The Shin Shoryuken (also spelled as "Shin Shouryuuken" the same way) was introduced in ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter III: New Generation}}'' as Ryu's second Super Art, which also appeared in several games since its debut. This move was first taught by his master Gouken. The version seen in ''Smash'' combines the effects of both the first two hits of Gouken's Shin Shoryuken with the final hit effect of Ryu's Metsu Shoryuken. In some games, Ryu would perform a spiraling turn true to Shoryuken-fashion at the peak of his rise (in most old ''Vs. Capcom'' series games), while in the attack's standalone debut in ''Street Fighter III'' and in recent titles he and Gouken omit the classic peak-turning motion.

The screen that shows up in the background on the final strike of Shin Shoryuken is the KO screen from ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter IV}}'', which would show up whenever the opponent lost all their health at the end of a round if attacked by a Super/Ultra Combo.

It may also be a reference to how in ''Street Fighter IV'', some Ultra Combos would change if they missed or were blocked. Some examples are Ken's Shinryuken becoming a simple flaming uppercut if it misses (making it akin to the original Shinryuken prior to ''Street Fighter IV'') or Oni's Tenchi Sokaigen being a shockwave instead of a cinematic uppercut should the opponent block it. Ryu's Shin Shoryuken in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' and his Metsu Shoryuken in ''Street Fighter IV'' also share this property, becoming simply stronger Shoryukens if they miss or are blocked (as well as being spaced properly so the initial Shoryuken connects in a way to not trigger the actual attack). Ryu's Shin Shoryuken in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' retains this as well.

*Due to the camera zooming into Ryu when Shin Shoryuken activates, the background that appears during the final blow may seem small. However, using the "Fixed" camera in [[Training Mode]] shows that the background covers the entire stage, while the "action lines" that appear around  Ryu and his victim end in a circle surrounding them.

*The background appearing is indicative of the foe's survival. If it does not appear, then the enemy was not at a high enough percent to be blasted by the attack.

*This is the first Final Smash in the ''Smash Bros.'' series that completely changes depending on range. This hence makes Ryu the only fighter to technically have two Final Smashes in the same game.

*Shin Shoryuken uses the exact same animation that Ryu's sprite uses in ''Street Fighter III''.

**The blue silhouettes that follow Ryu after performing his Shin Shoryuken are also a reference to super combos in the ''Street Fighter Alpha'' series.

*The black ink surrounding the opponent during the Shin Shoryuken is a ''Street Fighter IV'' aesthetic, however Ryu can not use the move in any ''Street Fighter IV'' game.

*If a character somehow escaped the Shin Shoryuken in the first version Ryu was released, the game would crash. This was rectified in later versions.
