Needs Help: Kamehame Hadoken

As per this Trope Talk thread, I could not get a clear answer as to what a Kamehame Hadoken is supposed to be. The main question I asked was:

Is it the cupping-and-firing motion, or is it a giant energy blast that a person fires? There are conflicting accounts and I'm confused.

And my question still stands. We have Wave-Motion Gun, but that's NOT a Ki Attack at all; it's a giant energy blast fired out of a machine. I could hammer out a general trend of wanting to split the page between things, so I can put the options here:

  • Redefine Wave-Motion Gun to include Ki Attacks.
  • Redefine Kamehame Hadoken to refer to the stock "cupping and firing" motion.
  • Create an entirely new Energy Blast trope that catches the "gigantic Ki Attack" examples.

Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.

Seems like it's more appropriate to talk about this in trope talk.
