What game was Ascending Dragon Fist originally born in?
Many players have ridiculed it before, it is "Super Mario". Because Mary makes a "Ascending Dragon" movement every time she jumps, when she tops the mushroom, it looks like she is using the Ascending Dragon Fist to destroy the wall.
Of course, this is just a joke. The real founder of Dragon Fist is Takashi Nishiyama and his Street Fighter 1.
In this work, Ascending Dragon Fist is an invincible existence. With the continuous update of the version, the Ascending Dragon Fist has become the most representative move of "Street Fighter", and even a culture.
After the failure of the lawsuit with "The History of the Fighter", the 2D fighting games released by other game companies in the later period basically have the shadow of "Street Fighter". Ascending Dragon Fist and Wave Fist became standard, and even more developed in the "King of Fighters" series, using more and more characters.
In the original generation, only Ken and Long could be used, and in Street Fighter 2, a Shagat who used "Tiger Rising Cut" for short as Rising Tiger Fist was added.
Reds, whites, and Shagat's Ascending Dragon look alike, but there is a big difference in practicality. Long's Ascending Dragon Fist is vertically upward, does not lean forward, and is invincible for a long time;
Later, it developed into the Extinction Dragon Fist and the True Ascending Dragon Fist
Ken's Ascending Dragon Fist leans forward slightly, and he can pick up more moves, and in the later stage, Ken learns the "Divine Dragon Fist" and can punch more gorgeous segments.

And Shagat's "Ascending Tiger Fist" is the only Ascending Dragon in the game that does not have an invincible effect, although the move is fierce, but it is prioritized, but it is often cracked by ordinary moves, and there is no chance of winning when fighting hard with Ascending Dragon Fist.
What is the reason for this?
If we look closely at Shagat, we will see that the hands and feet are in different positions during the ascending dragon.
Some netizens ridiculed before: The ascending dragon in the assassination fist is all closed with opposite hands and feet, so that the knee can defend in front of the ascending dragon, and there is an instant invincible effect of the move. And Shagat's knee is on the other side, revealing a big waist, and anyone who looks at it wants to poke it, and the defect is obvious. So whether Ascending Dragon is authentic or not depends on which leg raises the knee.
If Shagat's Ascending Dragon wants to be invincible, the posture should be like this. It's embarrassing to watch!
However, by the time of "Boy Street Fighter", Shagat's "Tiger Ascension" already had a series of attacks, and the damage hit completely crushed the "Ascending Dragon Fist".
SNK launched the extreme flow karate represented by Ryo Sakasaki and Robert during the "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger" period, and they have a relatively powerful unique move "Tiger Roar", that is, the Ascending Dragon Fist in CAPCOM.
With the advent of "The King of Fighters", more and more characters using Ascending Dragon appeared, not only the "Dragon and Tiger Team", but even the "Super Power Team", "Hungry Wolf Team", "Japan Team"... Metropolis, it seems that the ascending dragon has become the standard for the characters and is the main anti-air ability.
The fiercest ascending dragon in the "King of Fighters 97" period should be from Kagura Chizuru, who has a certain amount of invincible time, even Chen Guohan, who is the best at cracking the rising dragon, is a little difficult to deal with.
By the time of "The King of Fighters 98", the most perverted Ascending Dragon came from Ryo Sakasaki, and the little Ascending Dragon was almost invincible throughout the whole process, simply full of thorns, and the speed was too fast to react.
Ryo Sakasaki's Ascending Dragon looks different from what we are familiar with, facing the audience. This innovation may also be to distinguish it from Street Fighter Ascending Long!
Years later, in order to show that he was the creator of the Ascending Dragon, CAPCOM used the True Ascending Dragon Fist in "Shōnen Street Fighter" and "Street Fighter 3", and the effect was also aimed at the audience.
From here we can see that the posture of Ryo Sakasaki uses Shoryu and Takashi is completely different.
Comparing the assassination fist with the "Ascending Dragon" of the Extreme Stream, the effect is more obvious.
Ryo Sakasaki actually has a dragon fist with his back to the audience, which appeared when he made a cameo appearance in "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf". and used later in The King of Fighters.
Lily Sakasaki and Ryo Sakasaki's Ascending Dragon are more similar to the poses of Street Fighter's Shagat.
The "tiger roar" of the extreme flow has to be played by Takuma Sakasaki to be the best-looking.
The role of Ascending Dragon Fist, no matter which game is more important, was initially only used to contain and fight the air, and gradually developed super special skills in the later period, and became a regular operation of the continuous segment.
So, who has the best Ascending Dragon Fist pose in Street Fighter or The King of Fighters?
The "King of Fighters" series is a perfect blend of story and moves, and each fateful enemy has a number of corresponding moves. Among them, Yagami-an and Kusanagi-kyo's "Oniyaki", as well as Yan no Chris's "Oniyaki", Kura and K''s "Crow Bit"
These moves are more popular precisely because they are supported by a strong story.
Lukar's "Extermination Cut" has always been the shadow of game hall players!
"Ascending Dragon Fist" is no longer just a move, but also a culture. In the fighting games that appeared in the later period, as long as they were similar air moves, we directly called Ascending Dragon Fist (fuel consumption).
That's right, these are fond memories that belong to the arcade era.
Nowadays, when we see these games again, we always lament that the years are not spared. The arcade gamers of that year are long past the age of playing, and the time to play games is getting less and less, but the nostalgia for the arcade is growing day by day.
Oh, yes! I am very fortunate that I can access so many arcade games in the past, and the bits and pieces of the arcade are still fresh in my memory, after all, this is our best youth!
