I bet Hakan wants one.
comboing into ground pound is so satisfying, i messed up the input lesser now… still gettin that slash… apparently hcf input leniency > dp input leniency lol
If you’re trying to bait, the back air dash is usually a pretty safe option – even if they did nothing, most characters don’t have great punishment options at that range.
It’s “any B”, “any D”, “F”, so yes, very lenient.
I just said what had to be said. It was starting to get a little whinny in here with some of the comments and i felt, as a future Oni user, that something had to be said to add a little balance to the mix.
BTW who else, besides me, is going to main Oni?
Lol…this thread reminds me of the SSF4 makoto thread before Super came out…everyone on the hype train…“OMG MAKOTO YES I WANNA MAIN HER”…
Game comes out…almost no one actually mains her because she’s terrible, now I’m not saying I think Oni will be as bad as makoto, just not as good as people are thinking he will be.
I saw a post earlier in a thread (might have been this one) where there were “possible vortex” options…this character isn’t Akuma and doesn’t play anything like him…closest things they have in common is like their super, cross up tatsu, and probably a couple other things.
Might just play him to understand him and for the fun of it.
But to main him, so far doesn’t seem to be in my plans.
Hype train? There’s hardly any in this thread besides a few of the early posts. It’s all just discussion on his bad points and possible set-ups. i guess people see what they wanna see…
Yeah the “possible vortex” thing is in this thread. It was just a little theory, not much else. Relax.
He is going to be my 2nd main character.He seems a fun character and also, i like his personality.Yang is my first main and Oni is my 2nd!!its goin to be awesome
I aim to second main him alongside Abel. I’m still real free though, so it’s an uphill battle either way. He just looks to be so much fun.
I’m not sure about maining him, but I’m definitely using him as an alt to Gouken. Besides not having a free FADC for blocked srk, his wake up isnt’ any different than any other shoto, and if they are getting their srk’s stuffed it really doesn’t matter if they have the meter on wake up or not, but that’s just how I see it.
Definitely going to give Oni a try. He’s the only one who I could potentially take seriously as a character choice out of the 4 new ones.
Main = Akuma
Secondaries = Oni/E.Ryu
whats funny is that he has several mix up options and i think hes definately gonna be sick ive started playing or wasting my money trying to use him at my arcade i like his air punch options really deep if you ask me and definitely a force in the near future , once we can get him in taining mode
^ I’m pretty sure we will find something as I’ve already spotted a couple of different things already. He has COMBOS! and he can link to anything from jab hit confirm, something we can’t currently do with Gouken, and from what I can tell his ground pound is an untech, so I wonder what’s the max range combo you can hit confirm > ground pound… I’m pretty sure you know what I’m getting at.
I’ve always been told that Gouken wasn’t that good either… and maybe he’s not for most people, but a quick ass whipping or holding your own changes all of that crazy talk.
NO EASY BUTTON for ONI!!! YEAH!
I’m definitely giving Oni a shot if for no other reason than that laugh he does after cinematic U1.
Tiger Knee motion backward air dash then land and fire a fireball, some interesting trick to break fireball and quickly fire another one as you land.
Anyone can try this and confirm and put it in a useful strategy?
You might be over-thinking it.
Saw daigo use yun’s third costume on the Topanga stream during the finals. Would that mean that oni will have a third and possibly fourth costume? he should, right?
Pretty sure that is Yun’s 2nd costume color #10.
