Oni Q&A Thread: Ask simple questions here!

Yeah, I’m doing the backwards jump, but maybe my instant air dash > tatsu timing is off, I’m terrible with setups like this, lol.

I’ll tinker with it some more tomorrow. Hope I’m not coming off like a jerk-- I’m not trying to belittle your setup or anything, you probably know more about setups than I do haha. Just trying to figure out if I personally think it’s practical or not. If it doesn’t beat jump back fierce, I don’t think I’ll bother with it since that’s a thing that a lot of people will do and it will nullify it too much imo (maybe not too much for other people’s preference, though).

I’ll also blow the Mr. K whistle and see if he can figure anything out since he is the kind of person who is good at stuff like this, unlike me :stuck_out_tongue:

There’s a frame or so on wake-up where the opponent is forced to stand up, which allows you to do garbage they normally could crouch underneath. EX tatsu should make it work better. You might be able to combo into mk tatsu on hit (or b.mp or f.hk).

The fact that you can’t crouch it makes me strongly suspect that you can’t do anything but block, uppercut, or wake-up focus. Jump back fierce is like an 8 frame move if you’re still grounded, you have 4 prejump frames and then the start-up of your air normal. You should be able to time it so they have to block, just like a normal crossup. You can probably be autocorrect uppercutted or ultra’d.

Different character heights and wake-up timings will make stuff like this character specific but I think you should be able to hit everyone if you adjust their timings and get them to stand.

Are there any safe jump setups for oni? I havent really seen anything around about it. Maybe im not looking hard enough?

This is pre 2012 but I don’t think much has changed

I recently got SSF4, and have been looking to obtain AE to be able to play Oni and Evil Ryu (Knowing full well they are supposed to be terrible).

What character would be a good one to practice with before moving on to Oni?

Gouken and Akuma except you are going to find oni’s tools are weaker than both of them. He borrows mostly from them.

What are some good setups for a normal cross up tatsu off a knock down. I’ve seen OMH do it a couple time but when i do it, I always seem to whiff. I would lab it myself but a friend is borrowing my copy of SF at the moment.

Adon is one of the most annoying matchups for Oni, smh. Well, for me.

Space him out with f+fp and anti air with st.fp I find that match up easier that most because his jag kick loses to f+fp and you can use it preemptivly.

Which ground pound move should I be using as Oni? Why?

LK does the most damage in combos. Mk is airborn on frame 1, making it into a ghetto reversal like C. Viper’s Flame Kick. HK is the only one that’s safe on block.

So I’m playing Oni for fun. Is his general gameplan to get within cr. jab range and then TC1 into LK slash? I’m just trying to get a general idea of what I should be focusing on.

Idk if you guys have been keeping up with the topanga b league but Wao is putting in work. Anyone have footage of this?

it would be hypocritical of me to say don’t ask for pirated links of the video after having seen them myself. Let me just say google is your friend and a certain Chinese video sharing site has some of them.

Would you happen to recall what you might have been googling when you stumbled across the video sharing site?

quick question here

Infiltration going against momochi’s akuma:

at 2:05 you can see him perform a kara demon but I didnt see him do any inputs before the F+HK was kara’ed

anyone knows what kind of input it was ?

I usually go for things like: b+mp (2x st.lp), F+HK ~ st.LK + st.HP

in this video infiltration only walked backwards…

EDIT: thinking about it, maybe he did the inputs during his forward dash…

That to me looked like he just did a Kara f+MK Demon really quick

so he would have just done f+MK(+2 LP) Forward, LK+HP

I could be wrong though!

Link wise, are any of Oni’s practical/necessary combos one-frame links?

No.

Hi guys, new to the Oni Forum, actually usually don’t play too much shoto in general however trying to learn Oni here.

I was wondering if there’s anywhere I can find tips on Oni’s air tatsu, like when and where to do it, how to use it effectively and how to use it with his air dash, and maybe some hit/block properties i should know about.

I tried searching for some of this info but honestly the search on this website kinda sucks.
