An Energy Blast is an attack or maneuver performed by an individual who channels some sort of energy (usually 'ki', but sometimes 'qi' or 'chi') into a violent stream directed at the target. There are many types of energy blasts and we hope that you don't get them confused, because all the morons do.
Projectiles[]
Some energy blasts come in the form of a projectile, which is flung at the target and causes destruction.
Fireballs[]
If one's master over their ki is great, they can channel the power of fire - or something firelike - and throw a blast of fire. Sometimes the fire is blue sometimes the fire is red sometimes the fire is purple, who the fuck keeps track of these things anyway?
Hadokens[]
Only students under the masterful teachings of Goutetsu's famous martial arts can perform Hadokens. Except Black Mage, but other than that I dunno.
Hadookens
This is what Ryu uses in Street Fighter 2, but this is part of a continuity error involving Hadokens.
