Eep, I hope I didnāt, as thatās way wrong. Iāll post.
I suspect Oro uses Ki in his Tengu Stone super, to move objects. masters in anime fighting shows have been know to do stuff like that before with Ki.
@SagatRyu
He most likely uses Ki or Telekenesis to levitate objects for the purpose of aiding him in combat. Sort of like a Magneto uses magnetism to levitate objects and uses them for battle. Though, I dunno Oroās limit since they never really went indepth with profiles.
@Sano I believe it takes place every five years.
Hereās Birdieās Zero 2 account from AASFZ2 and the Zero 2 mook:
Birdie from SFZ2
The Birdie
"Hey hey, donāt be joking! Youāre not even the least bit sorry!?ā
Having received from the shopās master this monthās wages, they werenāt even half the settlement amount.
āNow, the beginning contract, did you really write it off? You broke down the costs of the shopās articles, subtley from the reward, didnācha!ā
āā¦ke! Damn it you!"
The one who was to say hired as this shopās bodyguard, is not satisfied.
Not thrusting aside his own dull misfortune, his spirit was full of abusive language.
To move into the shop, having replaced several people as a muscular man, the pressure that entered in would dislodge Birdie. Those ones would accost him alone.
"Yo! Are you, really that punk rascal they call Birdie!?"
That guy, once during the period when Birdie was a show prowrestler, competed as the Baby Face (ally of justice) role among wrestlers. On the basis of being fixed for a set-up job scenario, everyday heād play the role of āa punk influenced from the USAā. Having recalled being put on airs by top stars as a third-rate wrestler all the while being oppressed in a manner of speaking as he was laboring for his cash income, his anger arose.
"Had you not noticed this place, would you have stopped doing it completely? Your gale, was great for sufficient fame wasnāt it!"
The men guffawed at him. Birdie flipped out.
Pulling the manās stomach pit toward himself with a jerk, he informed him close to the ear. āGet out right nowā¦!!ā
Those guys didnāt know. Why Birdie, had left the world of show prowrestling.
With irrationable scorn and unable to endure the insults, regardless of enemy or ally no less than 20 people wrestlers and customers were sent off to the hospital, by the sure-killing consecutive headbutts.
As if taking consecutive beatings from a machine gun, the manās face became deformed. The final blow, pulled in from behind his companions and the shopās master, knocking down even the wall.
āā¦the cost of repairs, pull it out of your retirement allowance. You donāt need help, good-bye!ā
Next time, Guy. Thanks for reading minna-san.:tup:
LOL! Birdie was a face jobber? Too bad he didnāt work for Vince McMahon: At 7ā1", Birdie has āmonster heelā written all over him!
Unrealman, itās you?!
Itās me Blue Nocturne, long time no see.
Hi, sorry for not updating lately (still canāt go online and still too busy). Just wanted to let you know that I got lots and lots of stuff submitted including screenshots (thanks Neal) of Dr. Mashiritoās Dolls (Dr. Slump) who Iām now sure of being the main inspiration for Vegaās Dolls in SFZ3 as well as a HUGE amount of HNK info and speculations.
Who would be interested in setting up and maintaining some transliterated SF quote and dialogue faqs with me? In a similar format as the CFJ faq from sano and myself. Any volunteers?
No problem Aerialgroove. And what exactly is wrong with your computer?
Since I still havenāt gotten around to giving the CFJ faq the mini update it requires Iām better off not taking on another one for now. Well 2 weeks max for the mini update. 
Well if there are no other volunteers Iāll help out, but can it hold off until 2008, after these 2 months?
Just my experience but it seems like lately Gamefaqs wants a lot of info nowadays before they call something a faq if itās not related to gameplay. So I would suggest having a lot of quotes before submitting it over there if thatās what you are aiming to do.
Thatās fine sano. My aimās what Saiki offered way back when: release the Japanese quotes, dialogues and endings, on a huge scale. As you can probably tell Iāve given up waiting for him to deliver, and for Piero to tell me about that Dan sketch, uuuuugh.
With Birdieās done, Iām now 1/3 of the way through the Zero 2 accounts. Next up will be the Z2 Shadoloo files including Shadolooās analysis of Sakura, and then onto the truly juicy stuff, the Zero 3 accounts.:bgrin:
Oh if thatās what you are doing Iād be more than happy to help out. :tup: Still gonna ask if itās alright to hold off for 2 monthsā¦ Unless someone else steps up with a bit more free timeā¦ 
Again man thatās fine.
Iāll need some time to prepare things myself.
Hey, is there any information on the the pets from Oroās new Generation cave? Are those his pets and if so, what re their names?
Iāve been wondering that for a while, especially his turtle.
Anyway, on a lighter note, Iāve been doing some research on Ken and Ryuās fighting style. According to the guide, Ansatsuken is a term used to describe a powerful killing martial art and is not a martial art itself. I know that their original style was Kyokushin Karate back in Fighting Street. But, they seem to have changed it. Itās definetly not Shotokan or any form of Okinawan Karate from what I can tell. The plot guide statted that it had elements of Judo, Karate, Koppo, and other japanese martial arts. It sounds alot like a style known as āNihon/Nippon Kenpoā
Developed in 1932 by Muneomi Sawayama ,Nippon Kempo is a Japanese martial art that engages in full-contact bouts using a full range of techniques wearing specially developed protective gear.
the art places an equal emphasis on striking techniques using hands and feet, immobilization and controls, projections and take-downs. Nippon Kempo is a defensive art that does not restrict students in methodology. It has gradually developed through the years and has become widely known and popular ? especially in Japan and Europe.
From a technical point of view, Nippon Kempo is a martial art system based on techniques of striking and kicking, (atemi-waza), blocking (uke-waza), throwing (nage-waza), reverse joint locks (kansetsu-gyakutori-waza) and ground combat (wrestling and submission holds). Nippon Kempo uses techniques that are present in other arts like judo, jujutsu, aikido, karate, and wrestling. In Japan, Nippon Kempo is practiced in over 100 universities and is part of training with many police forces.*
History:
Fighting Stance:
Hand Strikes:
Leg strikes(Note* the resemblance of this attack to Ryuās standing foward in Third strike):
Evasion:
Throws:
Kata:
(Notice some resemblance to Ryu and Kenās move sets)
Some more notes:
Nippon kempo is a practical combat sport which is not steeped in the usual martial dogma associated with most traditional martial art forms.
Nippon kenpo is scientific. However, it does retain in training some of the traditional, spiritual and ceremonial aspects of the Japanese martial culture, which aid efficiency in training. Sawayama studied numerous fighting forms and created a system that incorporated whatever was realistic and practical from each.
I donāt believe that the animals with Oro are his pets, or have any special recognition besides being in his cave background, but lemme do some checkingā¦
Since you brought up ansatsuken and Nippon kenpo The Illuminati, in the past I had mentioned that Capcom USA wouldāve done much better to say their style was shidokan rather than shotokan karate. Also Iāve never seen it stated that their style was originally kyokushinkai (only Saiki stated that long ago as well), but it was at least implied from Ryuās real-life inspiration being a kyokushinkai practitioner himself.
Shidokan, Iāll check it out, but the resemblanceās to Nippon Kenpo are staggering.
Nippon Kenpo

Ansatsuken
[media=youtube]pH7EqLB52ho[/media]
*Their stances are similar and have the same type of bounce
*Both use a combination of kneeās and Slams for in-fighting
*They both indicate a Combat sports type background, ansatsuken practitioners wear boxing type gloves.
I dunno if itās my imagination running wild, but they even have same greetings in some instances. Both ken and the Nippon Kenpo practitioners start out in a crouching position. . .weird. They have the same feel sort of, So, Iām thinking thatās where the inspiration comes from. Iām gonna examine this further.
Very different fighting stance in my opinion.
The turtle seems to belong to him. Maybe just as a symbol for age (maybe it has his age) or to show his Muten Roshiness.
Yeah, that pic does illustrate a difference, but when you watch them in motion you notice a few similarities. The bouncing for one is a big give away, and the position of the inside hand is the same. The big difference is the outside hand.
