Hadouken! Options

[ofconfidence]

Hadouken! is a band from the UK and they're pretty huge there.


They are by far one of my favorite bands ever and i was just curious to see if anyone else knows them, likes them or has even better seen them.

Listen to them here: Hadouken!

If this is your first time hearing them, what do you think?

awww.

I think they got the name from an action figure or something.

a fictional special attack that originated in the classic Capcom fighting video game series Street Fighter. The practitioner thrusts his or her palms forward, sending a surge of spirit energy flying towards the opponent. It is normally performed by moving the joystick or D-pad a quarter circle forward towards the opponent from the down position, then pressing a punch button; which is usually written in manuals and guides as "↓↘→P".It is referred to colloquially as the "Fireball", even though most versions of the Hadouken do not involve the use of fire.

The Hadouken is the archetypal projectile attack in 2D fighting games. Almost all fighting games of the sprite-based era used projectile special moves, and while the actual type of projectile launched varies from game to game and character to character, the execution and behavior of these attacks are almost always identical to the Hadouken. These moves are sometimes informally referred to as a Hadouken or fireball, especially if the equivalent directions and buttons are used to perform it. The move is used to control the horizontal playing area, and often used to force an opposing character to jump towards the player, since most characters using the Hadouken can also use the Shoryuken as a follow up.

urghh, no one's heard of them.

[LoveToMySilas]

I spent a good minute trying to figure out how to pronounce that. But since they're Indie/Pop, which is amongst my favorite genres, I guess I'll give them a go. I like their songs: Get smashed, Gate crash and That Boy That girl.

^ No doubt, I'm saving up for a PS3 right now so I can approach the status of a true gangsta by buying something expensive. I can't wait for this game.

Are you trying to sass me?

I was thinking it had something to do with street fighter. I could make a thread called Hadouken then ask "So who has heard Ryu's Theme Song from the animated Street Fighter 2 movie."

Ryu's Hadouken > Hadouken! band

I was totally expecting something related to Street Fighter. :[ No I haven't heard of this band that copied Ryu's move.

I'm saving up for a PS3 right now so I can approach the status of a true gangsta by buying something expensive.

Hadouken! are really th epinacle of mediocrity, and I have pretty forgiving taste.

They aren't BAD, per se, but they really don't deserve such high praise.
