Played with Oni last night

I recorded a 22 min video of Shinwarr and myself play with Oni. Im waiting for official release to post the video. Things I’ve noticed with him are as followed;

[LIST]
[]Can’t FADC from SRK
[
]Demon flip is gone, instead he jumps in the air comes down fast with a strike. Kinda like Dudley but much faster. Tried the EX version to see if it works as an overhead but it doesnt.
[]He cant uppercut after a light hurricane kick.
[
]His air dashes work in 3 different directions and they hit as well.
[]Fireballs can be charged like Gouken for 2 hits. Normal fireballs do not go full screen.
[
]Gone is his red fireball, in his place is a denji like fireball but its blocakble.
[]His palm strike works like Gouken but its only a fireball input. The firece version crosses you up on you.
[
]Ultra 2 is like his 3rd Strike energy wave but to a lesser extent. Once it fully connects you get some DBZ/Naruto like cutsceen. It can chip you if you block it. You can also connect it after a level 2 FA.
[]Ultra 1 can be done in the air and on the ground you can shoot it straight forward or straight above you.
[
]He has a air raging demon.
[]BnB combo I used was jump in roundhouse, c.jab, c.jab, c.short, Hadouken. Another BnB is jumpin roundhouse, c.jab, c.jab, c.strong, Hadouken. Great damage potential.
[
]His normal throw, throws you across full screen.
[/LIST]

If you have any questions or request let me know. Im going back on Tuesday.

Just to clear and help you out with few things.

SRK can FADC, but only on second hit. You can’t FADC on first hit, you can’t FADC on block because the first hit push back making the second hit whiff.

You can link c.jab to c.fierce

Can you help test SRK 2nd hit FADC to red fireball.
Can you try j.roundhouse, c.jab, c.fierce, hadou fadc (target combo) back+strong, fierce cancel to shoryu and see how much the damage is.
Also can you try if you can guarantee an EX palm strike after a crouch fierce or target combo

Thanks in advance.

I wonder if you can do normal moves after air dashes, at least the forward one, as you can do air tatsu and air demon.

That I can confirm you can’t, so far I tried any kind of move, but only tatsu can cancel out of that.
If it works, it would make awesome setups, so far only setup I can make is upward air dash to change your drop to cross over tatsu or just an air dash poke

still, being able to do it with tatsu is nice too. Can you juggle after air tatsu on grounded opponent?

Does Oni have a dive kick? Also, how can the mp.air-dash be used offensively? Does it knock down like Akuma’s DF-Palm? Does it break armor?

I’ve read on other post that the mp.air-dash is not safe on hit since it’s sends you up into the air and possibly allowing enough time to pass as to allow the other player to get up and punish when Oni drops down. Is that true?

sounds plausible, you should probably use it as an air to air of some sort if you want to use it offensively.

Dive Kick totally gone, and yes that info is true, but remember you still have the tatsu cancel :wink:
But honestly, me saying using that as a poke is just an option available, not like you should use it xD

Try out ONI recently… I feel that he is more of a zoning character than a rush down typed.
He is fun, initially I thought I will like Evil Ryu, but no, ONI is more fun, just like Gouken… Also u would like to keep opponent away from u, rather than let them in your face… Again similar to Gouken… I beat a Yun by keeping him away from me

Can he do something similar to Seth’s [media=youtube]CGNEsrM_k30&t=32s"[/media] with the rising air dash (MP?) and the air tatsu?

Can the buttsplash (or whatever) be comboed into? Can it be hit-confirmed? Is it safe on block?

Can his lightning fireball be comboed into without meter use?

How far away can he hit-confirm SRK from?

Can EX Palm be hit-confirmed?

Does he have Ryu style EX tatsu? If so, does it combo into the fireball ultra?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

This will probably answer some of your questions.

New vid on front page.

I’m digging how Oni’s throw gives you some breathing distance.
