are you reffering to the fact that akuma can get a combo off on dp fadc on hit(crouch jab, stand fierce into whatver) and oni gets a crappy knockdown instead? despite akuma being able to safely back dash on dp fadc blocked and oni cant?
They make it like they buffed the fuck out of him but that isn’t the case.
I am, by no means a total Oni pro. But in ae. 2012 I used him heavily and I have a few pointers.
The dp FADC is fucking useless for Oni because it causes people to play like a scrub on wakeup. And the loss of invincibility hurts aswell. Nothing sucks more than what was once one of the most dominant dps cop a trade off a jumping hp.
Oni honestly had problems getting in considering his step kick can get beaten out by a cr.mk and what did they do? They took invincibility away from mk demon slash for projectiles.
I feel like I’m ranting so please forgive me, there are some good things too. I like the fact that red focus is really useful for him and I like the fact that his ex dp is still awesome but I feel like overall Oni is shitter then before. Because lets get a character that isn’t the best and lets nerf him and buff C.Viper and Yun because… why not?
yes that was me i had almost like what 20 mins of practice that day and they had us play on these kinda clunky hori sticks. i couldn’t land a single combo or do anything i even got to practice. and the Rolento match up was so damn new i was not ready for something like that at all.
