Shoryuken: Difference between revisions

Ryu attacks using a powerful uppercut of the same name while announcing "SHORYUKEN!!". A successful hit causes a visual effect resembling a spray of white ink around the opponent. The move has almost no startup, making it incredibly difficult to predict, but has severe ending lag if it misses, making it a high risk, high reward move. Similar to Ryu's other special moves, the damage dealt and height gained by the move increases if the button is held as opposed to just tapped: the tapped version deals 13% and KOs at 160%, while the held version deals 15% and KOs at 110% and is a powerful vertical kill option at high percentages. The knockback and damage dealt by the move decrease over its animation, meaning it is most powerful during the first few attack frames. As it gives Ryu a height boost, it is his primary vertical [[recovery]] move, especially the fully-held version.
