In November 2014 they announced a hiatus. James is currently producing a solo project, and Dan, Nick, and Chris are members of Cast of Lions alongside Stefan Abingdon of The Midnight Beast.



* {{Crunkcore}}: Not exactly, but the Nu-Rave scene was basically the UK equivalent.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Once per album:
** Leap of Faith during the EP era, their only experiment with a straight up rock song.
** Declaration of War on MFAAC.
** Evil on For the Masses
** The Vortex on Every Weekend



** Their EP era was [[DancePunk New-Rave]] done ironically.

** Also, any remix they do can feel like this, as James tends to add his own verses, sometimes changing the perspective of the song.

* RearrangeTheSong: Live versions of the Every Weekend tracks feature guitars and bass replacing some of the keyboard layers, and live drums on a semi-acoustic kit as opposed to the programmed drumming on albums.

* CreatorCouple: Alice and James.



* OldShame: They don't play many EP era songs anymore.
* OneOfUs: They're named after a StreetFighter move, and their early music tended to sound like chiptune mixed with guitars.
* PerformanceVideo: Most of the videos before their third album.

* TakeThat: Their first song "Superstar" is a take that at... someone named Luke (he was in another band, but that band didn't become famous enough for anyone to remember who the song was actually about.)

!Hadouken have examples of:
* AlbumTitleDrop: ''Every Weekend'' is their first album to do this, being dropped in the first song, "Vortex".
* AnimatedMusicVideo: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfjuVCyzToY Mecha Love]]. There's also an alternate video of Oxygen featuring Stop Motion animation of Action Man figures.
* TheArtifact: Dan, Nick and Chris. They haven't been on a new song since 2010. Though they're still full members of the band, and live arrangements are switched around to feature them. This isn't a case of them being hated, just that the band's main output is electronic music, not rock.
* AudienceParticipationSong: Mic Check
* {{Bishonen}}: The male members of the band before late 2009 all had sweep fringes and effeminate clothing. However these days:
** Chris and Nick have quiffs.
** James has short hair.
** Dan has grown his hair out.
* CoverVersion: They've covered Blur's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKzTQ-y9rV0 Song 2]]".
* CreatorCouple: Alice and James.
* ExcitedShowTitle
* LargeHam: James during live performances and Blogdouken.
* GenreRoulette
* GenreShift:
** Their EP era was [[DancePunk New-Rave]] done ironically.
** Their first album mixed re-recordings of these songs with ElectronicRock
** Their second album drops the rock elements, aside from lead single "Turn the Lights Out".
** Their third album mixes in {{Dubstep}} and DrumAndBass with the previous electronic sound.
** Their newest song Midnight is HouseMusic.
* HarshVocals: On a lot of songs live, the general shouts are replaced with these.
* IAmTheBand: Not much, but every time James is a guest vocalist, he's credited as Hadouken!.
* LyricalDissonance: A way to tell if a fan listens to the lyrics is if they think they were serious with the New Rave era.
* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: Generally ranges from 4-8.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: They come in at a 7, occasionally going down to a 3 or going up to a 9.
* MoodWhiplash: On ''Music for an Accelerated Culture'', as the New Rave songs were dotted around the more serious electronic songs.
* NewSoundAlbum: All of them, even the first one.
* OldShame: They don't play many EP era songs anymore.
* OneOfUs: They're named after a StreetFighter move, and their early music tended to sound like chiptune mixed with guitars.
* PerformanceVideo: Most of the videos before their third album.
** Subverted nowadays. Their last performance video was released in 2011 (not counting live videos) and highlighted a problem. Neither Chris nor Dan actually do anything on that album, so they were just stood there playing keyboards (which is actually Alice's job).
* TheQuietOne: Alice, deliberately or not, wasn't heard speaking until a brief moment in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u8f6XSlpKs Blogdouken 18]], nearly 6 years into their career.
* PissTakeRap: a lot, though James can rap, and has done so more seriously on recent songs.
* RecordProducer: James, who previously made straight Grime music under the name Dr Venom.
* StealthParody: People thought they were serious with their partying IndieRock image. Probably why they changed it.
