A style of Karate practised by Ryu and many other Capcom fighters. The three basic moves in 2D fighting games are the Hadouken (fireball), Shoryuken (rising dragon uppercut), and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (hurricane kick). Any warrior that can perform a variation of at least two of these moves can be considered a pseudo-Shotokan warrior and a variation on Ryu.
