Shoryuken (昇龍拳; Shōryūken, "Rising Dragon Fist") is a special move from the Street Fighter series, a rising uppercut. The move appeared in some Mega Man games, mainly in the Mega Man X series.

Appearances[]

Mega Man X2, Mega Man Xtreme and Mega Man Xtreme 2[]

Mega Man X2 Armor - Special Surprise

The Shoryuken in Mega Man X2.

Mega Man X can learn the Shoryuken by entering the game's secret capsule. In Mega Man X2 it is executed with →↓↘+ATTACK while X is at full health and on the ground. In the two Xtreme games it is executed by charging the X-Buster and holding ↑ before releasing the attack. X will surround his arm with fire and perform a powerful jumping uppercut in a spiraling recovery motion, causing massive damage to its targets. In X2, unlike the other Light Capsules, Light does not actually describe what the upgrade is, instead showering praise to X for managing to find his capsule before beckoning him to step inside for a special surprise.

While it is believed to kill all bosses in one hit, it does not. If the edge of the boss is grazed, it takes heavy damage, but does not kill it entirely, as it deals damage every frame rather than single hit of high damage. Morph Moth will not be killed by the Shoryuken if hit in his cocoon form, but instead will take as much damage as could be inflicted to make him shift to his second form. Sigma's viral form takes several hits to be killed with the Shoryuken, although it's possible to one-shot Sigma by trapping him on the ceiling.

The Shoryuken is not saved in passwords, but there is a secret password to start with it. Additionally, this secret password must be submitted by holding down-left, R, B, and Y together in order to work.

Mega Man X4 and Mega Man X5[]

MMX4-RisingFireC-SS

Charged Rising Fire in Mega Man X4.

In Mega Man X4, Magma Dragoon shouts "Shoryuken!" as he performs his Rising Fire uppercut attack. X gains Rising Fire as a Special Weapon, whose charged shot is a leaping fire uppercut similar to the Shoryuken. Zero's technique Ryuenjin is also a leaping fire uppercut, but with his Z-Saber rather than his fist.


MMX5-WingSpiralC-SS

Wing Spiral in Mega Man X5.

In Mega Man X5, Shoryuken is one of Spiral Pegasus' attacks, performing flying uppercuts across the arena. X gains the Special Weapon Wing Spiral from defeating him, which is a shorter jumping uppercut that emits a tornado upwards.


Mega Man X8[]

The Shoryuken is one of the techniques X can perform while equipped with the Ultimate Armor.

Avalanche Yeti performs Hyouryuushou in a manner of Shoryuken style, but with an ice effect rather than a fire one. After defeating him, Zero and Layer can perform a Shoryuken by performing Hyouryuushou while equipped with the K Knuckle. This variant of Shoryuken freezes airborne enemies on contact, similarly to Hyouryuushou, but is accompanied with the proper "Shoryuken!" voice line.

Mega Man X DiVE[]

Shoryuken, named Shōryū no Hi Ken (昇竜之火拳 "Rising Dragon's Fire Fist") in Japanese, is one of Magma Dragoon's active skills.

Rising Fire and Ryuenjin also appeared as an active skill from X (Rising Fire Ver.) and Zero.

Street Fighter X Mega Man[]

Shoryuken is used by Ryu.

Other appearances[]

As a move used by Street Fighter characters like Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Sakura, the Shoryuken is present in many games where they appear alongside Mega Man characters, such as Marvel vs. Capcom, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Namco × Capcom, Project X Zone, and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

The move is also used in the Archie Comics crossover Worlds Unite. In Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, X remarks that he had always wanted to see a real Shoryuken when fighting against Ryu.
