Hudauda, huuudha!!!
The Pyro while performing Hadouken

Upon taunting with the Shotgun or Flare Gun equipped, the Pyro will wind his hands back, concentrating his inner fire energy before releasing it from his palms as a Hadouken (also referred to as a Hadoken), killing and setting fire to any enemy close enough.

With a wide range of fire capable of taking out multiple targets if close enough, this move will destroy enemies and buildings if it connects.

The Hadouken itself is a "tip of the hat" to the neologism from Capcom's classic Street Fighter series.
