Onizaru

Victory theme is the victory theme from third strike
————————————————————-

"祈り始める" (start praying)

Onizaru, the furious demon, has arrived in rivals in search of a challenge. Onizaru is a ferocious and relentless rushdown fighter; smothering his opponents in a barrage on non-stop attacks and combos. Onizaru is extremely agile and able to combo several of his attacks into one another for devastating damage. However, Onizaru is not as good at taking damage as he is at dishing it out, so be mindful of his low weight.

SPECIALS:
——————————————————–

Nspecial: Akuryō bakuha (vicious spirit blast)
——————————————————–

Akuryō bakuha is a chargeable projectile. it gains power as the special button is held down and can be aimed left and right with the joystick. In the air this attack becomes Kūki Akuryō bakuha, and travels downwards diagonally.

Fspecial: Taifūitsuka (typhoon strike)
——————————————————–

Taifūitsuka is a spinning kick that moves Onizaru forward. This attack hits multiple times and is great for both combos and mobility.

Dspecial: Saru no shūgeki (monkey assault)
——————————————————–

Saru no shūgeki is a forward flip that can be cancelled into several different options.

-No input: transitions into a sliding kick upon landing.

-Attack pressed: an aerial punch that spikes opponents and stalls air movement.

-Special pressed: a divekick that travels downwards diagonally. Be careful when using this offstage!

-Any strong pressed: a command grab that tosses opponents forward.

This attack can also be jump and shield cancelled before any attack followup.

Uspecial: Ten hakai ken (heaven destroyer fist)
——————————————————–

Ten hakai ken is a 3-hit uppercut that sends Onizaru upwards.

Unique Mechanic: Cancellable moves.
——————————————————–

Onizaru can cancel several of his attacks into other attacks or specials.

Jab: 1st and 2nd hit can be cancelled into specials or tilts or jump

Dtilt: can be cancelled into specials

Utilt: can be cancelled into specials

Nair: can be cancelled into specials

Unique Mechanic: Super meter
——————————————————–

Onizaru’s super meter can perform many things. Firstly, the meter builds by dealing damage to opponents, with PARRYING an attack successfully building a substantial amount of meter. When the super meter has reached a quarter of its length, Onizaru can perform EX moves by pressing the SHIELD button shortly after performing a special move or by performing a special move while the shield button is held down. The benefits of these enhanced specials are:

Nspecial ground: Becomes a 3 hit fireball that ignites opponents and travels through walls.

Nspecial air: Fires 2 fireballs that ignite opponents.

Fspecial: Deals more damage while spinning in place and pops opponents up on the last hit for followups.

Dspecial: Has no EX variation.

Uspecial: has no hurtbox during the initial start up and deals more damage and knockback.

When Onizaru’s super meter is full, he can perform his selected super art by pressing the ATTACK and SPECIAL button in unison or by pressing the special button while the attack button is held down.

Unique Mechanic: Selectable Super Arts.
——————————————————–

At the start of each match, Onizaru can select one of 3 different super arts by pressing either left, up, or right on the joystick. These supers have varying range, power, and effects on meter gain, so choose wisely based on your needs and character match up. The super arts include:

Super art l: "Jigoku senmetsu bakufū (hell annihilation blast)" A powerful, multi-hitting beam of energy that covers the entire horizontal space in front of Onizaru. Meter builds the fastest with this super selected

Super art ll: "Kamigami no zanshu (decapitation of the gods)" A devastatingly strong uppercut that goes high into the air. Can only be started on the ground and builds meter at a decent rate.

Super art lll: "Daichi o kirisaku ichigeki (strike that sunders the earth)" Onizaru smashes the ground and creates massive geysers of energy, sending opponents reeling. Builds meter the slowest of all 3 super arts.

Unique Mechanic: Revenge meter
——————————————————–

Over the course of the match, whenever Onizaru takes damage, his revenge meter will fill up. When it is full, Onizaru has access to his strongest move: Konmetsu no ma Osamu (soul destroying demon attack). This attack is performed by pressing any strong whilst holding down either up or down on the joy stick while on the ground. Onizaru will then lunge forwards. If he misses, you’ll have to get your revenge gauge back up, but if it hits Onizaru will unleash a hellish beating upon his opponent. When the attack is finished, if the opponent is at 120% damage or higher, they will instantly die, otherwise they will be left in front of Onizaru for any attack (even a super!).
