| - Executed similarly to a Shoryuken, both in input and execution, Sagat jumps into the air and turns his body while hitting his opponent with a rising uppercut - although with the opposite knee raised - followed by a backwards somersault at the apex of his jump to land back on the ground. In the Street Fighter Alpha series and the EX series, the move instead is done as the Tiger Blow, where it hits multiple times, as well as having a different recovery animation where Sagat spirals in a turn instead (like the Shoryuken itself).
- The Tiger Uppercut AKA Shoukou Shouda (昇甲掌打, Rising Shell Pam Strike) in Japanese, is Albert Wesker's special reversal attack. If Wesker is hit during the counter's pose, he counters different attacks depending on which attack button is used. Each pose has him place his following arm behind himself while he holds out his leading hand as it glows with an eerie purple color.

| - Executed similarly to a Shoryuken, both in input and execution, Sagat jumps into the air and turns his body while hitting his opponent with a rising uppercut - although with the opposite knee raised - followed by a backwards somersault at the apex of his jump to land back on the ground. In the Street Fighter Alpha series and the EX series, the move instead is done as the Tiger Blow, where it hits multiple times, as well as having a different recovery animation where Sagat spirals in a turn instead (like the Shoryuken itself). The EX Special version introduced in the Street Fighter IV games is essentially a "revamped" Tiger Blow; it has a slightly wider hitbox, smaller startup time, and hits multiple times. It can also be used to combo into the Tiger Destruction. The somersault at the end is replaced with a turn similar to Ryu and Ken's Shoryuken. Also notable is that in the Alpha games, selecting Sagat with the X-ISM gauge has him use the traditional Tiger Uppercut instead, having being based on his original II incarnation like with many of the other SFII veterans. In the Game Boy Advance version, Sagat says "Tiger-Tiger Blow!" as he lands a Tiger Uppercut, most likely due to limited voice clip capacity.
- The Tiger Uppercut AKA Shoukou Shouda (昇甲掌打, Rising Shell Pam Strike) in Japanese, is Albert Wesker's special reversal attack. If Wesker is hit during the counter's pose, he counters different attacks depending on which attack button is used. Each pose has him place his following arm behind himself while he holds out his leading hand as it glows with an eerie purple color. The L version counters normal and high physical attacks with Wesker putting his leading hand up front. He counters by fading away via a backward lean and warps behind his opponent, performing his standing S (the actual Tiger Uppercut). Due to this, he can followup with standard launcher air combos/aerial raves upon a successful trigger. This version is the most difficult to punish and the most practical one to land. M counters low attacks with Wesker holding his leading hand out low, and counters by leaping into the air via a sideways turn, then fades away towards behind the opponent to palm strike them (almost similar to his Cobra Strike). This version causes wallbounce on hit, but it can be blocked with quick reaction. Last but not least, H counters beams & projectiles with Wesker holding up his leading hand towards the foreground and faces away from his foe (with his hand glowing green instead). Wesker counters by ducking down into a prowling stance, then dashes behind his foe to strike them with a backwards shoulder lean (via Chinese-styled martial arts). Like the M version, this can also be blocked with quick reaction, but also provides the same wallbounce hit effect.
