A.K.A. Mexican DP, Mexican [Dragon Punch]
Slang in OG [FGC] (fighting game community) that gained popularity during the Street Fighter 2 scene when a player that does not know how or want to do proper Dragon Punch (aka. DP, Shoryuken) special move and just does a basic crouching uppercut move instead.
In Street Fighter for shoto characters like Ryu, Ken, Akuma/[Gouki], the move is done with Down HP (aka. Down Fierce, 2H, [2HP], 2Fierce) and you see the character crouching and doing an uppercut.
Very well known phrase that is still spoken about in the FGC. Still talked about by pros and veterans, such as Alex CaliPower [Valle] of Southern California.
