Line 7:
Has nothing to do with Guile's signature move from ''[[Street Fighter]]''.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[The Big O]]'' does this ''all'' the time. Often the robots will send off a shockwave by merely moving their limbs.
Line 38:
* [[Shaolin Soccer]] takes this to utterly ludicrous levels.
* A large number of recent ''[[Wuxia]]'' films love to add shockwaves whenever powerful fighters clash, like ''[[The Storm Riders]]''.
* In ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'', this is [[Yin-Yang Clash|what we get]] when [[Thor]]'s Mystical Uru Hammer hits [[Captain America (comics)|Captain America]]'s Mighty Shield.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Power Rangers]]''. However, a punch or kick generating a shockwave tends to indicate it's nearly a finisher-class blow. This'll stagger even the [[Big Bad]].
* Also used in Kal-el's ''[[Smallville]]'' incarnation. Clark's flight effect relies on the same style of visual effect. His fight with Zod had the boom.
* As far back as the late 1990s, Singapore's local Chinese-language wuxia drama shows had a lot of such visual effects edited in. This also applies to other such series made in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan.
