1. From Japanese Ha Dou (Wave or Surge) and Ken (Fist, Technique, or Attack); a blastwave or fireball formed from a martial artist's life energy (or ki/ch'i). The hands are brought together, heels of the palms touching, and moved to beside the fighter's waist (which is as close as one can get to the center of the body, where the most ch'i gathers). The energy is then focused into the hands, and when both arms are thrown forward, palms outward, the energy wave is fired in the same direction as the double palm punch. Very similar in nature to other ch'i-based fireball attacks, including Son Goku's _kamehameha_, Piccolo's _ma kou sen_, the fireballs used by Liu Kang and Johnny Cage, and other cast members of Mortal Kombat, Fatal Fury, and especially Street Fighter. The Hadoken technique itself was developed by the shotokan karate master Gotetsu, who taught it to his disciple Goken, who in turn taught it to Ryu and Ken Masters, along with his other special techniques, the ShoRyuKen (Dragon Power Fist) and the TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku (Hurricane Kick).
2. In the webcomic _8-Bit Theater_, by Brian Clevinger, the character Black Mage casts a 9th-level spell called Hadoken. The spell seems to be a pumped-up version of the Final Fantasy I spell "NUKE" (also called "FLARE" in later sequels of the game), though in Final Fantasy I, there were only 8 spell levels (9 being the number of spell levels traditionally used in Dungeons & Dragons).
You do not yet have enough power to produce the Hadouken.

Hadoken is first used in the StreetFighter games by Capcom. It's a martial arts move performed by Ken or Ryu which unleashes a sort of fireball flying into the opponent.
In the japanese language hadoken doesn't really exist, but if you break it down in syllables it makes sense: "ha" = wave "dou" = motion "ken" = punch
Also used in the webcomic 8-Bit Theatre as Black Mage's most powerful spell.
Stand back, i am going to perform some hadoken on his ass.

Hadoken the japanese word meaning wave or surge often mistaken for fireball. hadoken most famously used in the video game Street fighter by Ryu and ken masters. this technique is 'properly' used in Street fighter II the seires where we she ryu actually summoning the hadoken. he moves his hands in a circular motion one hand moving in both directions. by doing this he releases the energy or Ki or chi from with in him an had the ability to form it into a ball and release it as a shockwave blast.
the ki formed from the hadoken can be used in other ways like Shoryuken (dragon punch) or TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku (hurricane kick)used by both ryu and ken. also more famously characters from dragonball z use the Ki as weapons using it to form Ki balls and use moves like Kamehameha.

1. A move performed by Ryu, Ken, Sakura, Akuma, and Dan in Street Fighter 2-Alpha 2 and many other games that involved Capcom characters.
2. Black Mage's most powerful spell that looks like a Kamehameha, but does not have the same affect. It nukes forests.

It is spelled HadouKen not hadoken... Hadou is when life energy is used as martial arts. Hadou has many forms. Hadouken is only one form. This is a very strong attack used by Ryu or Ken Masters.
He's preparing to execute the Hadouken!!
