"I'm not Gouken..." Oni General Discussion Thread

instant air Tenma Gou Zanku!
id do it for the lulz but i just wanna know is it possible?

ah okay, i was confused by mr tibbs lol… i read tk U1 as tiger knee U1 aka instant air U1, since tk usually refers to that meaning, not triple kicks… learn the lingo hehe

i still dont think its possible, but ill see if i can test it later. or maybe just wait till console version is out tomorrow lol

well thnx for everything hfz69!!!
cant wait for DAT ONI!

Akuma’s already evil. So Oni “evil Akuma” is what, even more evil? Like his attack names are racial slurs and quotes from Mein Kampf?

Akuma is a half-demon who honors the warriors code by only fighting with worthy opponents that are match for his strength. Oni on the other hand is completely demon who gets pleasure only killing opponents, strong or weak. That’s one way to get Akuma “more evil”.
And when Akuma/Gouki means strong demon or strong ogre, Kuruoshiki Oni is more like mad or insane demon.

Oni – Akuma’s final demon form, where he’s thrown off his last connection to humanity to gain ultimate power. he is oni

Let that be a lesson, hfz: Never trust a jar with a moustache.

Ever.

SOOOO hating that XBL just doesn’t update by EST.

i want my Papa Smurf says in a whiney voice NAOOOOWWW!!!

I’ve read that there’re no trials for the new characters. Sucks. Trials are the only way I learned the two combos I know with Chun Li and Makoto in Super. How do I Oni?! D:

Also, lol’d at Papa Smurf.

you dont need trial mode to learn combos…

is there oni frame data available?

specifically, what are the startup on his srks?

Oni’s Forward Hk is a godlike anti air. You can effectively keep them in the corner with that and HP air dash. Oni’s forward fierce punch is a great poke. Turtle oni is fun to play.

Didn’t think I’d like oni but he’s tons of fun.

Correct. I hate to be “that guy,” but it’s true: Akuma is more of an anti-hero than a straight up villain. Dammit! How do we know so much about a story that sucks so bad?

If I remember correctly, 3 frames.

so besides that fact that he cant fadc his srk why does everyone says hes so shitty?

He can. Just not on block.

I assumed that this was common knowledge by now. Still not really answering the question though

So we’re all clarified, can only FADC on the second hit, which whiffs when blocked.

In my (limited) experience, he just doesn’t have all the tools other characters do. Can’t FADC for safe reversals and once enough people get used to the matchup it’ll be harder to get in. He’s good, just no Twin. Still, I’mma rock it.

i think i found a possible oni mix-up.
