The Shoryuken aka Dragon Punch

Yeah but when you do these moves does Dan Forden pop up and yell "TOASTY!"? I don't think so. I've proven my point.

Yes. Mugen Edition of SF :V

 

Mugen doesn't count.

yeah but in the end there's only so many tactics you can devise with such a limited moveset. not to mention the boredom that installs itself after a while... a fight has to be beautiful and artistic. if fighting like in SF would happen in real life, you'd think Ryu would simply stick to his 4 moves? nope, because as you train, you evolve your capabilities, refine your style. he'd be able to throw aerial hadoukens from his feet and do downward shoryukens after a while. seeing him whoring the same 3 moves over and over and over again makes you feel like he's just a carbon copy, albeit better looking of his older game counter parts. just an example, mind you, there's other characters with similar conditions "guile T_T has 2..., even Charlie had 3..."

It's why theres throwing and special normals

 

yeah but maybe I prefer not to use throws, and would like to do something other than slapping with my backhand...
