Description[]
- "Envelop your fists with the Power of Nothingness, enhancing moves such as the Hadoken and Hashogeki. Leave you wide open, making the timing of its usage critical."
- —Street Fighter 6
Executed by pressing down twice and pressing punch (or any attack button for Modern Control), Ryu's body is enveloped with energy and electricity, thus enhancing his next ki moves.
Tactics[]
Denjin Charge amplifies Ryu's next Hadoken-based move like the Hadoken, Hashogeki, and their Super Art counterparts Shinku Hadoken and Shin Hashogeki. It has a 39-frame startup, making it mildly risky to use in the neutral. If Ryu scores a knockdown with a Shoryuken or High Blade Kick, he can sacrifice okizeme to perform this move safely before his opponent can recover. Alternatively, Ryu can perform it directly after Fuwa Triple Strike or High Double Strike while still being advantageous. However, Ryu can only store one Denjin Charge at a time. It also does not carry in between rounds.
Enhanced Hadoken gets an extra hit, more damage, a massive speed boost, and extra juggle potential for further combos, while also being safe on block. Enhanced Hashogeki is plus on block while being massively rewarding on hit, launching opponents in a spinning state meterless while the OD version causes a crumple. Only the Heavy versions of Hadoken and Hashogeki are amplified, allowing Ryu to surprise the opponent by using the Light and Medium versions while saving his enhanced versions for combos or breaking through other projectiles.
Enhanced Shinku Hadoken and Shin Hashogeki both gain an additional 400 damage. However, both Hadoken and Hashogeki lead to routes for both Super Arts when enhanced, making it better in certain scenarios to spend the charge earlier.
