The Shoryuken (known colloquially as the "Dragon Punch" or "DP", which comes from the SNES version of ''Street Fighter II''<ref>''"YOU MUST DEFEAT MY DRAGON PUNCH TO STAND A CHANCE!"''[https://tcrf.net/Street_Fighter_II:_The_World_Warrior_(SNES)#Ryu]</ref>) is one of the special moves used by [[Ryu]], [[Ken]], and various other characters in the {{uv|Street Fighter}} series.

It is a rising uppercut, involving the user jumping off the floor with a fist raised and a full-body spin. Ryu's Shoryuken hits only once and knocks the opponent down. Though it possesses invincibility across its many incarnations, it is very unsafe on whiff and block at higher strengths, leaving the user vulnerable during its recovery. | ||
Since ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers}}'', Ken has had the ability to perform a fire-based Shoryuken with the Heavy Punch button, something that is incorporated into ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The name of Ken's advanced Shoryuken in ''Ultimate'', Heavy Shoryuken, refers to the original method of executing it with the Heavy attack button. | Since ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers}}'', Ken has had the ability to perform a fire-based Shoryuken with the Heavy Punch button, something that is incorporated into ''[[Super Smash Bros.

*The in-game tip for Shoryuken uses wordplay, as the final three words in the tip, "''SURE YOU CAN!''", sound like ''Shoryuken'' when spoken quickly. This is also referenced in Ryu's [[Palutena's Guidance]] in ''Ultimate'' and is a common pun among fans of the series. | *The in-game tip for Shoryuken uses wordplay, as the final three words in the tip, "''SURE YOU CAN!''", sound like ''Shoryuken'' when spoken quickly.

*Ken's original Super Combo, "Shoryureppa", was also originally named Shoryuken in ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' since no Super Combo was originally named on-screen prior to ''Street Fighter Alpha'' (much like the case with the [[Shinku Hadoken]] being called the [[Hadoken]] in that game). | *Ken's original Super Combo, "Shoryureppa", was also originally named Shoryuken in ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' since no Super Combo was originally named on-screen prior to ''Street Fighter Alpha'' (much like the case with the [[Shinku Hadoken]] being called the [[Hadoken]] in that game). | ||
