Oni Q&A Thread: Ask simple questions here!

Air Dash EX Tatsu is -4 on block, but has a really nice hitbox.

His crossup tatsu is different from Ryu’s, and the best combo off of it is mk tatsu.

His air dash can be used to set up crossup tatsus, but it’s not the best.

Thanks for the tips just a few more question.

  1. Air Dash EX Tatsu is -4 on block wouldn’t the height of block make a difference on the frame data? or it just spins so fast that it will always be blocked at that height?

  2. Is it possible for regular air tatsu blocked to have frame advantage if it’s low enough?

  3. Do you have any specific setups like after certain knockdown that i can do ambiguous or just cross up tatsu (air/ground)?

Thanks again really appreciate it

Hey Kikuichimonji
Have you ever thought of making an Oni Reference log?
You know so you don’t have to keep answering the same questions/as a guide for new players.
Just the ins and outs of Oni.
Setups,mixups,not obvious knowledge.
Advanced combos, super/ultra setups etc.

I’ve seen you on plenty of forums like the Seth forums and you always know such cool detailed information but it’s all scattered.

Also while I’m here might as well ask a few questions.
Yeah, I’m here on the Wao bandwagon but damn after actually studying this character I’m impressed. He’s just like my newfound love (Ken) but slightly worse, but luckily he’s much cooler and has an awesome set of normals.
OH yeah back to the questions.

What are the setups off of:
Sweep
Back Throw
Lk/Hk Ground Pound
HP DP
HK Tatsu
(Preferably safe jumps but meatys/gimmicks are appreciated as well)

Best punish for 2 meters?
I’m assuming for 0 it’s cr.mp tc2 hk tatsu.
For 2 bars I’m pretty sure It’s tc2 slash fadc cr.mp tc2 hk tatsu but I’d like to make sure.
EDIT : After some testing I think it’s cr.mp cr.hp lk slash fadc cr.mp tc2 hk tatsu.

Frame Traps I should be using?
Right now I’m just delaying b.mp from cr.mp and doing a bunch of jabs into f.mk

Should I kara fireball/kara throwwith HK or F.mk?
Finally
Best Onis to watch?
I’ve been rewatching Wao’s gameplays at A League a lot but would it be worth it to watch Infiltration/Sanford kelly again?

Guys?

a nice combo in corner Tc2 EX hado cr.short hk tatsu/shoryuken. timing is a bit tight but i can get pretty regulary after a bit of practice. you can also cr. jab into this which makes it really easy to setup. relatively safe as well which is very nice! 337 damage.

Well after exhado you can link most if not all of his light normals so you can do [tc2,hp,cr.hp] ex hado st.l [tc2, st.hp] [special]

Someone please help me with Oni oki.
Also advice on the Guile Matchup?

Hey guys, i was fooling around with Oni today and found a strange link …
j.rh, cr. lk, cr.lp, st.lp, cr. rh

A combo into sweep???

I looked into the frame data, because of all the talk right now (onis sweep getting buffed, so he finally can combo into it).
Assuming frame data is correct, this shouldnt be linking… granted, the timing is ridiculous and not viable at all. Nothing compared to 1frame links… cant seem to pull it of reliably.

Anyone knows something about this phenomena? currently i only tested it on ryu and dan (both work)…

There is a combo video in one of these threads with basically the same combo but instead of starting with a j.Rh it started with b.Mp, cr.Lk, s.Lp, sweep.

You have to hit on the last active frame of the jab for it to be a one frank link.

Watch Wao for setups. There’s one in this video (look for EX Chicken Wing).

s.hp or b.mp xx hp xx lk slash FADC cr.mp, b.mp xx hp xx hk tatsu.

Yeah.

That’s more spacing specific than target combo for 10 more damage, and I think s.hp xx lk slash FADC is a better starter.

Far mp is a good frame trap too, as are his stomps. You can hit-confirm f.lp xx mp into slash as a frame trap. s.hp xx slash can be used to fish for damage. s.lk xx fireball is a good blockstring tool.

Don’t worry about kara fireball that much.

I would watch Infiltration over Sanford Kelly’s Oni personally, but it can’t hurt to watch anyone. Sanford Kelly hasn’t been very visible recently.

What are people doing to blow up people who os throw an empty jump in?

I love you haha.

No, you need to watch OMH(Overmostheads) or Wao.

You use his special move that’s airborn on frame one.

I’m Not Sure If This Was Answered Yet But, Is Oni Playable In Tournaments? I Heard He Is Banned…

LOL no, Street Fighter tournaments haven’t banned a character since ST Akuma.

'sup, I’ve jumped on the Wao Oni train.
This character is fun.

Quick question, what’s the best thing to do after forward throw?
I know you should slash (medium/heavy?) but I just jump forward like an idiot after that and I’m not sure if it’s safe.
