Its really not random…
And there are some combinations you simply will never see, for example, 3 robots, it just cant happen. It is largely down to chance, but the moves you do can infact determine what combination you get, it certainly is NOT random. You can give yourself a slight statistical advantage.
Generally, you’ll find that you’re safest to do things like uohs when you have a large stone or slab farthest away from the opponent, because if you do an attack, its the last to hit the opponent, therefore you end up with a greater frame advantage even on block, and you can carry on with your next move. Because of all the combinations of stones you can possibly get, there are in fact more combinations where a big stone or slab appear to the very RIGHT of oro, therefore, weirdly, you’ll have more success chipping away when the opponent is in the LEFT corner.
Whether or not you believe the stones are random, you still have to think hard about what to do when you see what objects you get. Theres a 3/32 chance of getting no large objects when you activate, and to be honest you’re not very safe at all with this combination, because the opponent will have a lot of oppurtunities to throw even if theyre just blocking, and an easy guess parry = win for them.
On the other hand, theres a 7/64 chance of getting 3 large stones or slabs, and when you get this you’re absofuckinglutely laughing. Just make sure, if you’ve scored a knockdown before activating, that you hit meaty enough, so maybe 1 or 2 of the stoneshit the opponent, because these stones take a bit longer to recover after they hit, even tho things like the big stone do infact rush onto the screen quicker than any other object:looney: So once you’ve pinned the opponent down, chip away with uohs all you like, but id strongly recommend cr.mk too. It does tonnes of damage and has 3 active hit frames; which means if any stone is totally idle (ie has returned to its original position) itll attack again if one of the cr.mk hitframes is active at the time. Also, if you happen to NOT get any stones fly in during cr.mk, the block will cause oro to slide back… But you’re still in range to land another cr.mk, at which point you WILL get stones hitting, and you can simply walk in again to get close.
So far as I can tell, it only works on the twins, their hitboxes and the hit box of the slab are perfect to do this combo, but chars like chun and ibuki still duck under it, sadly. Itd be quite suicidal to use normal tengu against chun li anyway.
