Dragon Ball FighterZ has outsold Street Fighter V. FighterZ has sold more than any Street Fighter game.

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2021/may/21/street-fighter-sales/

Outside of Smash Ultimate, SF5 is still trying to catch up to many of its other contemporary competition as well, as Tekken 7, Dragon Ball FighterZ and Mortal Kombat 11 have all sold well over 6 million at this point.

Ooof

Ooof indeed

I say hadoken based on the fact it gets more pop culture refrences in other media.

Not hadoken but in the deadpool video game he even says shryuken at one point uppercutting a bad guy through a window

Weirdly they are both pretty much the same move just one is just a ball while the other a beam. Though ryu did have a beam version in MvC

I hope you haven't look at how many players, viewers, and pop culture references SF has had over the past 6 years.
I never said SF not a cultural phenomenon. But you saying DragonBall isn't is laughable.

These DBZ fans are nuts. Hadoken is the signature fighting game move-- tons of games have copied it (even JRPGs like FF6) and the move combination itself is iconic.
The Kamehameha predates the Hadouken, and was probably a direct inspiration for it. The franchise is also more popular.

Goku is more popular for people more into geeky things. But ryu is more known in mainstream. Like for example someone who neither watches anime or plays video games is more likely to know ryu

Kinda like saying superman ia the most well known comic book character. Hes definitely not the most popular but people not even into superheroes know who he is.

...neither is db

Dragonball Super literally took down dozens of websites more than several times whenever something big happened in it.

The streets of some countries, specifically Latin American countries, were filled with stadiums of people watching it on a big screen when the universal survival arc aired. It even came on the news. Hell, they had BILLBOARDS up with Goku vs Jiren as if it was some legendary boxing match.

And then you have the Broly movie which broke records in various countries.

TC, people may know Ryu as martial arts game guy, but they dont know hadoken.

This isnt who is more iconic, Ryu or Goku?.

Youre asking specifically about their attacks. I really dont think if you do the motion for either, people would think hadoken before Kamehameha.

This here is the most hearted vid on tiktok using #hadouken in its description. #hadoken is the alternate spelling but has way less hearts and views.


This here is the most hearted vid on tiktok that uses #kamehameha in its description.


The discrepancy in hearts between #hadouken (73.8k) and #kamehameha (566.3k) is staggering.

Also the total amount of views across the entirety of tiktok for #kamehameha is 129.1 million vs #hadouken/#hadoken at 6 million. A 123 million views gap! It seems like kamehameha is a more popular attack than hadouken/hadoken among the zoomers and gen alphas that make up the bulk of tiktok's demographic.

I voted Hadoken because Ive seen it used more in pop culture outside of its source. If were talking about whats more well-known, probably the Kamehameha because Dragonball is still very popular even beyond anime nerds while Street Fighter is basically only followed by fighting game fans these days.

However, DB has like 4/5 iconic things about it (SSJ transformations arguably being more iconic than the Kamehameha), which dilutes it somewhat in my mind, whereas one of the only things your average person finds memorable about Street Fighter is the Hadouken and maybe Shoryuken.
