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

Isn’t that just a different color? Just like Sakura’s color 10 with alt 2 is a completely new outfit. I’m pretty sure it is, and I read so somewhere, but unfortunately can’t remember the source.

Yep. Its color 10.

Oni’s alt right now only has 2 choice of color.

fuck it. i thought that since everyone has 3 alts, oni, e-ryu, and the twins would also have 3 alts.

lol chill I’m sure he is going to get new alt/color soon.

long hair… like ssj3 goku :smile:

nah, ssj3 wont be cool… his alt1 is already broly lol

So… anyone know any nice option selects for oni yet?

Sorry if this is old news, but has anyone noticed that his palm slice motion is actually HCF+K, not QCF+K?

Yeah Kinda awkward to make it a half circle motion, maybe so it won’t mix too much with the ground slam input.

E. Ryu’s kick is a hcb motion as well. Really weird.

Well, at least you can do it after walking forward if it’s HCF.

Capcom learned from the problems associated with gouken’s parry and tatsu. both kinda shared the same input while blocking and also the same button when attempting a low parry(kick button).

it would’ve been nice to have different motions for each special, but that won’t happen. SF4 needs move hc’s.

LP SRK links off of LK Palm Slice on hit?!

cr.LP > st.HP xx LK Palm Slice > LP SRK FADC Ultra 1!?!?!

If this is the case, shouldn’t you be able to do something like b.MP xx s.HP xx LP slice, s.LP, b.MP xx s.HP ss LP slice etc? I’m quite sure the dev blog said you can’t link into s.HP.

I am 100% sure st.LP links into st.HP. I did it multiple times yesterday - maybe it was 2nd active frame nonsense but I felt like I was pretty consistent with it. I think there would be too much pushback to use it as an infinite though…

But I will definitely try later tonight.

hes thinking of sweep. oni cannot link into sweep but he can link into hp

No, he’s right, the dev blog does say you can’t link into st.HP but I’m absolutely positive that you can.

Will do more testing as soon as I have an opportunity.

Also, given EX Palm Slice’s long startup, does anti-air st.HP or cr.HP xx EX Palm Slice cross up just as your opponent lands? That shit would be godlike.

ZOMG work needs to end so I can go to the arcade!!!

Shit. I think I’m mistaken.

The video that I watched involved Oni FADC’ing Palm Slice, not linking LP SRK after.

Damn, now I’m all disappointed.

we will figure this out once we get the frame data. until then we only got youtube and players xp to go on.

I have video evidence that st.LP links into st.HP on my phone, but I don’t have the cable with me at work to upload it and it is taking forever to email.
