shoryuken

That anti-air dragon punch move used by the "Shotos" in the Street Fighter series. Despite having almost legendary status, it really is just throwing an uppercut and jumping in the air. Try it at home. You can probably do it. Its not really that amazing in practice except on online matches/arcade machines.
Bad Shoto Player: I'm really good with Ryu! Hadouken! Hadouken! Hadouken!

Veteran Street Fighter Player: Stop fireball-spamming! (jumps over fireballs)

Bad Shoto Player: Haha you jumped! Shoryuken!

Veteran Street Fighter Player: (Proceeds to shoryuken uppercut nOOb until he runs his 12-year old ass out of the room.
