    Good list.

    This probably doesn't count, but theres nothing like the satisfaction of making a flying Pokemon faint by using Sky Uppercut.

    All I took away from this article is "They should make a new Killer Instinct." Great article btw. I like this poor-man's-Top-7; you should get a radical "Gaming's Most" logo on each article.

    They say if you twist your arm right before you hit somebody with an uppercut it adds fire element, its true that how ken does it.

    No Shin Shoryuken from Tatsunoko vs Capcom? I am disappoint.

    What about Donkey Kong's awesome uppercut in Donkey Kong Country 2?! That one was EPIC! 03:40 - 03:50 in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UoJjq57978

    You guys actually put in Lightning Screw Uppercut? Sweet. I thought the majority of Gamesradar HATED Tekken.

    Kazuya is actually doing the Electric Wind God Fist in the Street Figter x Tekken screen shot. I think that's more satisfying that landing the Lightning Screw Uppercut. Especially when you connect 4 or 5 in a row in one juggle!

    This article is totally biased against the Roundhouse Kick. The upper cut must have paid Mikel a ton of money. That must how they afforded Vegas on their meager editor salaries!

    Breakdown on the original xbox had some pretty satisfying uppercuts. First-person-lightning-flowing-through-your-fists satisfying.

    nothing beats a good kidney punch. NOTHING.

  • Tenfey - September 28, 2010 11:02 p.m.

    All great uppercuts involve Jungle cats.

  • Nin10DOH - September 28, 2010 11:01 p.m.

    Allright! Dan is awesome!

  • 510BrotherPanda - September 28, 2010 10:42 p.m.

    Hooray, another concise, informative article by Basque-paraz about punching stuff!

  • sutrebla15 - September 28, 2010 10:41 p.m.

    You forgot Gouken's! Which is basically Ryu's, but still!

  • TheWebSwinger - September 28, 2010 10:39 p.m.

    GamesRadar never finds ceases to find silly gaming minutiae for Mikel to turn into an article. Thank god for that. Awesome, awesome article. @RedEater: #1 - Brett's.

  • mEgAzD - September 28, 2010 10:38 p.m.

    You forgot the Ume Shoryu, the Daigo variation of the Shoryuken lol.

  • FNG - September 28, 2010 10:28 p.m.

    THE FALCON PUNCH IS THE BEST KIND OF PUNCH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • Redeater - September 28, 2010 10:25 p.m.

    I'm waiting for the article gaming's most satisfying dongs.

  • Valcrist - September 28, 2010 10:25 p.m.

    Mmm, isnt the uppercut in the last part of Dan´s super/ultra actually a Koryuuken?
