Tatsumaki Senpukyaku

Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (竜巻旋風脚, shortened to Tatsumaki and sometimes referred to as Hurricane Kick ) is one of Ryu's signature moves debuting in the original Street Fighter that appears as his side special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Ryu performs a spinning kick, moving forward and a whirlwind surrounding his body. He spins only once if the special attack button is pressed and three times for up to three hits with increased power if the button is held. The Tatsumaki stops moving, but still kicks if Ryu reaches a ledge. The move can also be used in the air, slowing Ryu's descent. By inputting the original Street Fighter inputs (down, down-back, back + any attack button), the move strengthens and travels farther.
