Top 5 Most Iconic Moves in Fighting Games

5. FALCON PUNCH (SUPER SMASH BROS. SERIES): The Falcon Punch is so famous that it transcended Super Smash Brothers. Captain Falcon first appeared in F-Zero and has become an absolute hit since then. The move itself is rather slow, but quite powerful and will often result a one-hit KO. (Image credit: Nintendo)

4. WIND GOD FIST (TEKKEN SERIES): The Wind God Fist is a signature move of Mishima family members in Tekken and a couple of other characters. It's basically a charge and an uppercut. Wind God Fist is hard to react to and new players often have difficulty executing it. (Image credit: Bandai Namco)

3. RAGING DEMON (STREET FIGHTER SERIES): Akuma's super move is the Raging Demon, also known as Shin Goku Satsu. While it's technically a command grab, making it easy to avoid, once landed it'll inflict massive damage to an opponent. (Image credit: Capcom)

2. SCORPION'S SPEAR (MORTAL KOMBAT SERIES): Get over here! Scorpion has been the mascot of Mortal Kombat for years and for a good reason. His spear move is often used to promote the franchise, whether it's a new movie, or a game. The move itself is rather risky and can easily get you punished if not used correctly.

1. THE HADOUKEN (STREET FIGHTER SERIES): Easily the most recognizable move in the fighting game genre. The Hadouken changed fighting games forever and you could even say it defined their core system.
