Shotoclone	comment	Perhaps the most basic form of Fighting Game character. Usually Jack of All Stats, this fighter's two most notable Special Attacks are a fireball or other projectile attack, and a rising physical attack, usually an uppercut (the standard versions of these are the Hado(u)ken and Shoryuken). Their third attack is either a Spin Attack or an attack that rushes forward, or both (the standard version being a Hurricane Kick which can do both). Wearing a gi or headband is optional. As you may have guessed, this character is essentially "inspired by" Ryu, the protagonist of the Street Fighter series. Note that having a projectile and something vaguely resembling an uppercut will get this label slapped on a character regardless of which moves are actually their most notable (a "true" Shotoclone also uses the same Quarter-Circle Forward and Dragon Punch (Forward+Down+Down-Forward) joystick motions respectively). The term Shotoclone (or "Shoto") comes from the English localization of Street Fighter II for the Super NES, which misidentified the fighting style used by Ryu and Ken as Shotokan Karate in the instruction manual. The martial art of Ryu and Ken has never been given a proper name in the Japanese versions (or in the games themselves), although the backstory in later games reveals that Gouken (Ryu and Ken's master) developed the fighting style from the original assassination art called Ansatsuken (literaly, "assassination fist"note Hence the name of the webseries, Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist) he learned with his brother Akuma from their master Goutetsu. For the record, Ryu and Ken's original moveset is largely based on Shotokan karate (no, not the special moves!), while in later games Ken's technique — notably his kicks — moved towards Kyokushin, in a textbook example of Divergent Character Evolution. The equivalent term of "Shotoclone" used by Japanese fandom is "Ryu/Ken-type"note ãƒªãƒ¥ã‚¦ã‚±ãƒ³ã‚¿ã‚¤ãƒ—, All About Capcom Head-to-Head Fighting Game 1987-2000, page 285 (or "Ryu-type" for simplification purposes). Also subjective to Inconsistent Spelling, since the romaji of "shoto" can also be typed/written as "shÅ�tÅ�" or "shoutou" (hence, "shÅ�tÅ�clone" or "shoutouclone") due to being modeled after the karate term that's also subjected to thisnote Shotokan/ShÅ�tÅ�kan/Shoutoukan; lit. Pine Wave Halls, but this largely depends on the writer. Subtrope of Fountain of Expies and Moveset Clone.

Shotoclone / int_18ce5aab	comment	Samurai Shodown: Haohmaru is the samurai equivalent of Ryu, possessing a projectile and rising uppercut that use the same inputs as the Hadouken and Shoryuken. The key difference is that these moves are done with a katana instead of hands, while the classic Tatsumaki Senpukakyu input causes him to attack his opponent with a sake jug rather than a flying kick. Charlotte has her similarities. Ironically, in II her inputs are reversed: the dragon-punch motion is for her 'Tri-slash' projectile, while a quarter-circle (albeit DB-D-DF) will bring out her 'Power Gradiation' uppercut.

The main character, Ichigo, is also a Ryu-type. He differs from most Ryu-types in that his projectile is a tall arc of energy that travels along the ground, and his anti-air hits on the way up and on the way down.

Shotoclone / int_1e3b270	comment	Darkstalkers: Demitri Maximoff and Morrigan Aensland pull it off as well, but also remain distinctive. The fact that one is a vampire and the other a succubus helps a lot. Lilith (from the third game) also counts as one, but being born out of a part of Morrigan's life force, her projectile attacks aren't as powerful. For Morrigan it's made more explicit in Super Gem Fighter, where she's given Lilith's Hurricane Kick-style move (Parasite Roll) as well as a super version that's a direct rip-off of Ryu's Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.

Shotoclone / int_2029a797	comment	Hinata shares some traits with Sakura and Dan, though without the latter's drawbacks. Her projectile is a short-ranged burst of ki (something Sakura would be shown using in Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Ultra Street Fighter IV's OMEGA Mode), and Project Justice even sees her throwing it one-handed like Dan does his Gadoken. Her Sunrise Punch mimics the Shoryuken and Sakura's Shouoken, but can begin with a sidestep feint depending on the button combination. Fiery Dance Kick is a series of spinning kicks that cover ground, with one version being an exact duplicate of Sakura's Shunpukyaku. And, in line with the general wackiness of the setting, she has an air projectile a la Akuma... but uses her shoes as the projectile.

Shotoclone / int_25f6f1a0	comment	The Umineko: When They Cry fighting game Spin-Off Umineko: Golden Fantasia: Battler, being the main character, gets this moveset: Blue Truth is a projectile attack similar to Ryu's Hadoken. Blue Strike is an anti-air Shoryuken-style attack. Sommelier Finger moves Battler forwards while attacking, similar to Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Of note is Blue Raid, which doesn't directly correspond to any Shotoclone attacks, being a Diving Kick. Black Battler, the SNK Boss, has slight variations of Battler's specials: Black Truth is not quite a projectile, but it creates an explosion near the opponent, fulfilling the purpose of ranged attack. Black Strike is similar to Battler's Blue Strike. Deathfinger is his version of Sommelier Finger, which moves much faster. Beatrice also has special moves that fit the archetype: Arise, Seven Stakes! is a projectile attack that travels much farther than Battler's Blue Truth. Red Truth is her Shoryuken, although it's done straight up while Battler's Blue Strike is at a more diagonal angle. I Am The Golden Storm! lets Beatrice attack and advance by splitting up into a cloud of golden butterflies. Seal of Misfortune is a unique attack that can only be used in the air, creating a large damaging seal in front of Beatrice.

Shotoclone / int_275c56fe	comment	Marvel vs. Capcom: In X-Men: Children of the Atom, Cyclops plays this trope the straightest with his own Hadoken (Optic Blast), Shoryuken (Gene Splice), and Hurricane Kick (Cyclops Kick), though he wouldn't fully gain this distinction until X-Men vs. Street Fighter. And while Cyclone Kick is a reasonable Hurricane Kick, it is a bit more limited in terms of range. One of his Limit Breaks (Mega Optic Blast) mimics Ryu's Shinku Hadoken, particularly the Kamehame Hadoken version seen in the Vs. series, though he has another variant (Super Optic Blast) that is narrower and able to have its trajectory altered mid-attack. In Marvel Super Heroes, both Captain America and Spider-Man are this (the former a Jack of All Stats, the latter a Fragile Speedster), but also more distinct than Cyclops as they replace the Hurricane Kick with their own rushing attacks — Charging Star for Cap (a charging tackle) and Web Swing (Exactly What It Says on the Tin) for Spidey. Additionally, Spidey's Spider Sting slaps an opponent back down to the ground with an additional input while most Shoryukens keep them airborne, a distinction that wouldn't be seen in later, non-crossover Capcom fighters until Sean's Dragon Smash in Street Fighter III: New Generation and Second Impact. Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes: Mega Man plays with the Shotoclone archetype. The only Shotoclone move that retains its original input is the Mega Upper, an obvious Shoryuken expy. His fierce punch is an automatic projectile with his Mega Buster (which can be charged), while his crouching fierce kick is his slide, which can hit enemies and dodge high attacks. His other special moves revolve around switching and using different Robot Master weapons.

Shotoclone / int_33acebd8	comment	Guilty Gear: Sol Badguy plays with this trope. He as a ground-travelling fireball, jumping uppercut and advancing spinning kick. However, instead of being a Jack of All Stats, Sol is more based around rushdown and getting opponents to the wall so he can wail them in even further. This makes him easy to grasp for beginners but with a really high skill ceiling. His moveset also takes more overt inspiration from Terry Bogard's than Ryu's. Ky Kiske is a more straight example: He has several fireballs (all with different strength and travel time), a jumping uppercut, two different gap closers, and a lack of specialization while lacking any major weaknesses. True to the archetype, Ky rewards players who have mastered fighting game fundamentals.

Shao Kahn is also one, having the Light Spear or Explosive Ball for a projectile, the Charging Spikes for his forward rush, and the Uplifting Knee or the Upward Shoulder for an anti-air attack. In MK3 Sonya took the Shotoclone spot with her purple Energy Ring projectile and her Rising Bicycle Kick. This is one of the few instances wherein the role of a shotoclone does not apply to a series' main protagonist (Liu Kangnote While he does have a fireball and two advancing moves, he lacked an anti-air special move until 1.) or the mascot character (Scorpion).

They even have the classic inputs for their corresponding versions of the fireball, jumping uppercut, and flying/spinning kick. The thing that makes them unique compared to other Shotoclones is the fact that they have follow-ups for each of their moves. Bonus points for K' being the protagonist of his Story Arc and Kula his rival, and extra bonus points for them to share moves and be Shotoclones but ultimately not be considered clones of each other. And if that wasn't enough, they have Kyo's DNA and are considered "clones" of him, yet are very dissimilar from him in terms of playstyle.

Shotoclone / int_617e92c0	comment	Advanced V.G.: In the original game, Yuka Takeuchi and Chiho Masuda had the same basic moveset, with Yuka being the more balanced one. However, the sequel introduced Tamao Mitsurugi (essentially TGL's rendition of Sakura), making her the series' new secondary Shoto character. So Chiho's old moveset was scrapped in favor of making her more like a traditional ninja. Averted by Satomi Yajima, who plays more like gender-flipped version of Kyo Kusanagi instead.

She has a Divine Buster as her Kamehame Hadouken, Accel Smash as her Shoryuken, and Revolver Spike as a Round House Kick. She's a Fragile Speedster rather than a Jack of All Stats, but becomes a Lightning Bruiser when she's in her Sei'ou Form. She would later become a Boxing Battler in ViVid Strike!. Due to the different game mechanic of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable: The Gears of Destiny, Vivio's moveset works very differently than a shotoclone's. Her Divine Buster is a grab move, her Accel Smash is her high long-range move, and her Revolver Spike is her block attack.

The only Shotoclone move that retains its original input is the Mega Upper, an obvious Shoryuken expy. His fierce punch is an automatic projectile with his Mega Buster (which can be charged), while his crouching fierce kick is his slide, which can hit enemies and dodge high attacks. His other special moves revolve around switching and using different Robot Master weapons.

Shotoclone / int_6b85085e	comment	Mortal Kombat: Johnny Cage became one, starting in Mortal Kombat II where he first gained his Shadow Uppercut. Shao Kahn is also one, having the Light Spear or Explosive Ball for a projectile, the Charging Spikes for his forward rush, and the Uplifting Knee or the Upward Shoulder for an anti-air attack. In MK3 Sonya took the Shotoclone spot with her purple Energy Ring projectile and her Rising Bicycle Kick. This is one of the few instances wherein the role of a shotoclone does not apply to a series' main protagonist (Liu Kangnote While he does have a fireball and two advancing moves, he lacked an anti-air special move until 1.) or the mascot character (Scorpion). Cassie Cage, due to her having multiple gun projectiles, several advancing moves (like her command normal Shadow Kick or her optional special Shoulder Charge in Mortal Kombat 11) and an anti-air move (Glow Kick). Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat 1 finally conforms to the archetype with the addition of his anti-air Dragon's Breath special move, complementing his fireballs and Dancing Dragon (a reworked Bicycle Kick). His flying kick is also reworked with Dragon's Tail being another fireball which transitions into the kick on hit or block unless the enhanced version is used.

Shotoclone / int_75972e28	comment	Rival Schools: Batsu Ichimonji (and all versions thereof), Hinata Wakaba, and Hideo Shimazu all count, employing the standard "projectile-rising uppercut-forward advancing attack" kit, though with some variation. And since Rival Schools takes place in the same setting as Street Fighter, this often gets lampshaded, either in-game or in crossovers. Despite his status as the intro character, Batsu changes it up a little bit more compared to the other shotos; his projectile (Guts Bullet) is a ball of thunder that lacks the full-screen range of most traditional fireballs, his regular Dragon Punch (Guts Upper) is an anti-air flaming uppercut that doesn't require him to leave the ground (Burning Batsu's Burning Elbow is a jumping elbow strike followed by a flaming punch), and his Tatsu (Crescent Moon Kick) is a crescent kick that travels in an arc. He also possesses the Shooting Star Kick, a Diving Kick more analogous with Akuma's Tenma Kujinkyaku though much quicker. Hinata shares some traits with Sakura and Dan, though without the latter's drawbacks. Her projectile is a short-ranged burst of ki (something Sakura would be shown using in Capcom vs. SNK 2 and Ultra Street Fighter IV's OMEGA Mode), and Project Justice even sees her throwing it one-handed like Dan does his Gadoken. Her Sunrise Punch mimics the Shoryuken and Sakura's Shouoken, but can begin with a sidestep feint depending on the button combination. Fiery Dance Kick is a series of spinning kicks that cover ground, with one version being an exact duplicate of Sakura's Shunpukyaku. And, in line with the general wackiness of the setting, she has an air projectile a la Akuma... but uses her shoes as the projectile. According to supplemental materials and official character bios, Hinata actually learned how to fight from online correspondence courses taught by none other than Ken himself. In Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2, Hinata directly claims to be a student of the "Masters style of Karate", a reference to Ken, which explains why some of her special moves have a flame effect to them (though this was apparently something Hinata picked up on her own rather than through Ken's teachings). This is referenced again in Project Ã— Zone, where pairing Batsu with Ryu and Ken has Batsu remark that several friends of his took Ken's online correspondence course on "Shotocon karate." Ryu then admonishes Ken for teaching school children an assassination art. Hideo's Shimazu Style has his own versions of the Hadoken (Seihaken), Shoryuken (Jicchokken), and Tatsumaki (Shin'en Kyaku), with most of the same strengths and drawbacks, though his Shin'en Kyaku spins slower and the number of kicks/rotations is dependent on button strength. He also has an aerial Seihaken that can fire twice not unlike Shin Akuma and additionally possess an anti-air projectile (Taikuu Seihaken) — something that wouldn't be seen in Street Fighter proper until Gouken's debut in Street Fighter IV. (Sakura had access to diagonal Hadokens in her Marvel vs. Capcom appearances as well as Rival Schools, but couldn't use them in a mainline game until SFIV and SFV.) In Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Batsu refers to Ryu's fighting style as "Shimazu fighting style", and says "it seems like everyone's using it these days." Roy Bromwell is mainly an expy of Terry Bogard, but also borrows Ken's Shoryuken, Shoryu Reppa, and performs a twin Shinryuken with his tag team partner as his Team Up Attack. Sakura from Street Fighter also makes an appearance in the first game as a Guest Fighter, bringing over her classic kit that riffs heavily on Ryu's.

Mario himself would diverge a bit from this from Brawl onward as his spin was made a normal attack, but he still largely fulfills the other functions of the "base shoto" otherwise. Mario and Luigi mirror Ryu and Ken further in that Mario's 'Hadoken' is powered up into his Mario Finale Final Smash, and Luigi's 'Shoryuken' is powered up into the Fire Jump Punch if he connects with the beginning of the attack. When Dr. Mario returned for 3DS/Wii U, he got his own variant of Mario's Final Smash, powering up his Hadoken.

Additionally, Spidey's Spider Sting slaps an opponent back down to the ground with an additional input while most Shoryukens keep them airborne, a distinction that wouldn't be seen in later, non-crossover Capcom fighters until Sean's Dragon Smash in Street Fighter III: New Generation and Second Impact.

Shotoclone / int_a0112f3d	comment	Within the Tekken franchise, the Mishima family of characters (Kazuya, Heihachi, Tekken 3/Tag 1 Jin and his Devil variant from 5 onward) have superficial similarities to the Shotos (they tend to wear gis or pants to partially evoke Ryu and Ken, and the Thunder God Fist/Dragon Uppercut and the Hellsweep were possibly inspired by the Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku respectively). With fireballs being almost completely absent until more recent entries, they instead form their own eponymous archetype centered around shared tools like the Crouch Dash, Flash Punch Combo, the aforementioned Thunder God Fist and Hellsweep, and the iconic (Electric) Wind God Fist. Also unlike the Shotos, the Mishimas have a reputation for being among the most execution-demanding characters in the cast. Characters like Armor King and Bob are also considered "Mishima-lites" for sharing a few of the tools, primarily the Crouch Dash but usually lacking their own "Electric" variant of their respective "Wind God Fist." Tekken 7 finally puts an official Shotoclone for the Tekken franchise in the form of Eliza (she was actually introduced in Tekken Revolution, but in that game she lacked the Shoryuken to properly qualify as a Shotoclone), and Akuma from the Street Fighter series is also present as a Guest Fighter.

And while Han Baedal is Korean, he seems more faithful to the legendary Karateka also from South Korea, Masutatsu Oyama than Ryu is. For Kim Hoon, his look and stage match Ryo Sakazaki more than Ken Masters. In fact, Fight Fever's developer Viccom was SNK's Korean distributor who exchanged ideas with SNK while KOF '94 was in development at the same time and had the Art of Fighting characters' stage take place in Mexico (Which is likely why Kim Hoon is Mexican in spite of being named Kim Hoon).

Their special moves consists of a Shoryuken-esque jumping hand slice (Rekkuha) and a Hurricane Kick (Ryubisen). However, instead of a projectile, their Hadoken command move is a flying double punch, "Soushuga" (however, it's replaced with a proper projectile during their transformed state). As if that wasn't enough, Billy's main super move is an enhanced version of the Hadoken-style move while Jimmy's main super move is an enhanced version of the Shoryuken-style move, just like Ryu and Ken respectively. (It should be noted that while the Ryubisen is based on the spin kicks from the original Double Dragon games, neither move predates Ryu and Ken's Tatsumaki.)

Of all characters, SpongeBob SquarePants is the shotoclone; he has a bubble Hadoken, an uppercut, and a Hurricane Kick. He's even dressed up like Ryu! The next game had two playable SpongeBobs, with the main one having a more comical moveset and "Classic SpongeBob" remaining a Shoto.

Though he and his Kamehameha came before the first SF game, the thirteenth DBZ movie introduced his Ryuuken/Dragon Fist. In most of the more recent video games (particularly starting from the Budokai), Goku has a Kamehameha as one of his basic special moves, and the Dragon Fist as one of his ultimate moves. In some games, he also has a rushing or another physical attack that compensates more or less for his lack of a Hurricane Kick. In Dragon Ball Fighter Z, his Kamehameha and Rapid Kick rush even have the same functionality and button inputs as Ryu's Hadoken and Tatsumaki.

Shotoclone / int_d02cde59	comment	Art of Fighting: Ryo Sakazaki qualifies, as his design, moveset and even name were almost directly copied off of Ryu, but with a few unique tools of his own. While he has the traditional projectile and anti-air uppercut, his Hien Shipuu Kyaku is a tad different than a Tatsumaki. And even Ko'oh Ken varies between an actual projectile and a close-up burst attack. He's also got his classic Zanretsuken which is a powerful, close range tool, giving a little spice to the archetype mold. Robert's moveset changes depending on the game. In the first two parts of Art of Fighting, he was essentially the same as Ryo, while in games such as KOF 2000, they're only loosely similar, due to Robert having charge motion inputs and different moves. And in KOF 2002 and NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, his moveset consists almost entirely of kicks, like Kim Kaphwan and King.

Shotoclone / int_dba1e8d8	comment	Akatsuki Blitzkampf: Akatsuki is a rather curious case, in that he has quite the inklings of this, but by looking closely at his movelist and especially at his three-hit Hurricane Kick, one can see that he takes more leaves from Kyo Kusanagi's book rather than the traditional Ryu/Ken emsemble. (Granted, Kyo was a traditional example of this archetype at first, but then received a nearly complete overhaul of his moveset in KOF '96, becoming more of a rushdown-oriented character with a string of chainable special moves.) Additionally, Elektrosoldat has almost everything included in Guile's moveset. While his original, Adler can considered to be one as he's the Shoto Guile than Elektrosoldat's original Guile playstyle. EN-Eins, the protagonist of the sequel EN-Eins Perfektewelt, plays this straight as he has EN Pyrokinesis (a projectile), EN Teleport Raider (a screen traveling attack), and EN Levitator (a Dragon Punch with an additional input that knocks the opponent down), though in practice he's more of a rushdown, combo-oriented character than a traditional Shoto. To degree, Kati can be considered this as she has Roaring Karusell (a Tatsumaki) and Splendid Wirbel (Shoryuken). However, she lacks a fireball, with the closest thing she has to one being to extend to her wand and, depending on the input, reel in her opponent and whack them like she's swinging a baseball bat.

Shotoclone / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	Mega Man: X, in Mega Man X and X2, alternately can get the Hadoken and Shoryuken as secret moves, with the same joystick input as Ryu. He can't have them both at the same time, though, since they appear in different games. The Xtreme Gaiden Game series have a secret capsule allowing X to use both. Mega Man X4 features Magma Dragoon, who is an Expy of Akuma and uses many of the latter's moves, actually shouting the names for the attacks. Defeating him gives Zero a Shoryuken-style move. X only shoots fireballs upwards, but if charged he does a proper Shoryuken. Mega Man X8 also grants X the Shoryuken as an unlockable move. The two arcade gaiden games for the original series (Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters) give Mega Man a very shoryuken-esque attack, and Bass' victory pose in the second game has him "powering up" like Akuma. (Though not the same pose, the similarity is apparent.) Stretching the definition a bit, Zero is basically a shotoclone. His main attacks are short-range, and he complements them with techniques that vary from game to game — but the two you can count on are a long-range projectile (e.g., Z-Buster, slash wave) and a rising slash move that's usually on fire. His signature attack is also a blade spin while jumping, though it's a vertical spin rather than horizontal, so it's a little different than the usual Hurricane Kick. He can also be counted on to have a move involving a ground punch and energy (or rocks in one case) blasting upwards. Akuma would later have a similar move in Kongou Kokuretsuzan, though more often than not it's unusable in gameplay.

Although Jin kinda subverts it by not having a rising uppercut move, though the moves he does have with the traditional input (Forward, Down, Down-Forward) functions the same anyway. Interestingly, they aren't the only pair like this as Makoto Nanaya and Tsubaki Yayoi have similar moves and functions. Both of their "Shoryukens" work in the traditional way, but their "Hadokens" are different (Makoto needs to set hers and then launch it and Tsubaki's has a completely different input than the norm). Celica A. Mercury, debuting in Chronophantasma (the third entry of the series), is a straight example as she was intentionally designed for newcomers. Her Type: Shooter "Breunor" and Type: Slasher "Griflet" function as her Hadouken and Shoryuken respectively and she even has a hurricane kick style rush move in the form of Lance Quiche. Her Shoryuken is different from the standard input though (236 + C like the Hadoken motion rather than the traditional 623). Additionally, her fireball has an aerial version and Celica possess a jumping command grab/overhead in the vein of Akuma's Zanku Hadoken and Demon Flip. Es, who debuted in Cental Fiction, is a straight example. Her Arc GrillÃ© and Hache Rotir function as her Hadoken and Shoryuken respectively and she even has a Hurricane Kick-style rush move in the form of Type: Slasher "Mordred". Her Shoryuken, unlike Celica, has a standard 623 motion.

Shotoclone / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros.: Most characters in have at least the uppercut portion of this trope. In a game where the only way to lose is falling off the stage, it's important to have a move that grants extra recovery. Given this, quite a few of these characters end up loosely adhering to this trope by also having a projectile or energy move and spinning and/or rushing attacks: Mario, Luigi and Dr. Mario play the role of the game's "standard" shotos; they have Super Jump Punch for the jumping uppercut, fire balls, and the Mario/Luigi/Doctor Tornado instead of hurricane kick in the spin jump. Mario himself would diverge a bit from this from Brawl onward as his spin was made a normal attack, but he still largely fulfills the other functions of the "base shoto" otherwise. Mario and Luigi mirror Ryu and Ken further in that Mario's 'Hadoken' is powered up into his Mario Finale Final Smash, and Luigi's 'Shoryuken' is powered up into the Fire Jump Punch if he connects with the beginning of the attack. When Dr. Mario returned for 3DS/Wii U, he got his own variant of Mario's Final Smash, powering up his Hadoken. In the fourth game, Ryu himself is Downloadable Content, and is a Mechanically Unusual Fighter that brings his native Fighting Game inputs and combos into a Platform Fighter. The Hadoken, Shoryuken, and Hurricane Kick are all there in their raw pure form. Ken was added in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the same inputs as Ryu and the slight differences that he had in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Mega Man has direct analogues to the Hadoken (Charge Shot), Shoryuken (Mega Upper), and Tatsumaki (Top Spin), but the rest of his moveset is projectile-based. DLC Fighter Corrin functions as one, with a flying kick follow-up on their Side B being a Hurricane Hick analogue, a basic projectile as their neutral B special and, of course, a rising anti-air mirroring the Shoryuken. The Game Mod Project M turns Lucario into a straighter example, with chainable attacks and the three signature Shotoclone moves, complete with an alternate costume somewhat resembling Ryu himself.
