What are Oni's changes in USFIV? (Discussion welcome!)

Oh, well the post I quoted was saying he couldn’t combo anything on hit

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?

I feel like they took away the fun of Oni.

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.

p.s sorry for the necro.

yooo wassup.

npnp, i get it. gotta keep that rep up!

Edit: I do think it’s about time for a lock.
