The Hadouken is a kill taunt for the Pyro that can be performed with any secondary weapon (other than the Scorch Shot and Thermal Thruster) or the Hot Hand as the active weapon.
Upon taunting, the Pyro winds their hands back, concentrates, then releases their inner fire energy as the Hadouken (literally "wave motion fist" or "fist of surge"), dealing 500 damage to any enemies too slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be in the way.
The Hadouken can kill enemy players and destroy buildings that are within 48 Hammer units (roughly 3 foot / 0.915 meters), past which it has no effect. Its wide range of fire is capable of hitting multiple targets at once. As a fire attack, any enemy that survives the Hadouken is ignited.
A Hadouken kill completely fills the Pyro's "Mmmph" bar if equipped with the Phlogistinator.
As with most kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates.

Counter effects
- Compression blasting the taunting Pyro can move the kill effect out of range, but usually completely cancels the taunt.
- Because the Hadouken is a fire-based non-melee attack:
- A Heavy with the Fists of Steel out can survive it if he is overhealed or under the effects of the Dalokohs Bar.
- Any class with over 125 health and a Vaccinator fire resistance ÜberCharge can survive it, with the taunt dealing 125 damage in that case.
- A fully overhealed Demoman using a Chargin' Targe can survive the attack.

Update history
June 19, 2008 Patch (Pyro Update)
- Hadouken taunt now kills people it hits.
Bugs
- If the target dies from the afterburn of the Hadouken, it shows the Flame Thrower's kill icon rather than the Hadouken's kill icon.
- If the player is in Pyroland, the Pyro's grunt as they charge the Hadouken is replaced with laughter; this is because the voice clip used normally plays when the Pyro is taking damage.
- Kills with this taunt while using the Hot Hand announce "SLAP KILL!" in the second killfeed.
Trivia
- The Hadouken is named and modeled after the signature move of Ryu, the flagship character of Capcom's Street Fighter series of fighting games.
