Introduction

Torao Onigawara is a man who values his adherence to the path of martial arts above all else. Once a renowned instructor who gave martial arts training to soldiers in the military, he has since lost everything, now forced to live on the streets of Eden. With nowhere to truly call home, all he has left is an old, tattered gi, and the philosophy he wholly dedicated himself to so many years ago -- to live and breathe karate.

Gameplay

Unlike most characters, his reverse style is incredibly useful because of his ability to switch in and out of it instantly while attacking. His LK is your main way of doing this. From there he has two moves: HP gives you a hook that knocks down and slides the opponent. The range is pretty short, but it's safe and damaging. HK gives you a roundhouse that also knocks down and has much more range, but is less safe. His escape dash attacks are instant and both knock down, and you can OTG another HP escape dash attack, but both have short range; you've got to be stepping on their toes for the HP one.

Things to know:

His HP can chain (not cancel) into his LK.

Deadly Skills

On Hit	On Block	Guard	Properties
-7	-13	Low/High	Invul f40-44 full on hit/block Increased recovery on hit/block techable on air hit
Torao dashes forward and releases a series of punches. Can use in combos, but I think his HP/HK finishers yield better damage. Good whiff punisher, and you can use it to chip the opponent to death.

Hell's Rush (heavy)

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery
-	20, 21	1, 4	29/*36

Sonic Kick (light)

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery
-	15	9	12
On Hit	On Block	Guard	Properties
-	+5	Low/High	Techable launch
Torao's main pain bringer. It's a little slow and obvious, but once it reaches its active frames it has really high priority. Use HK as a pre-emptive anti-air and LK to stuff things from a distance. Only use from a distance, otherwise be ready to eat whatever the opponent can give you.

Sonic Kick (heavy)

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery
-	16	9	14

This move is great. If you don't have a super ready, be a bit wary of using it, but if you do, whore parry-->Dosu Dragon.

Super Deadly Skill

On Hit	On Block	Guard	Properties
+68 SKD	-17	Low/High	Invul f1-15 strike Performs followup attacks on block Opponent lands on front ends in reverse stance
Your standard high-damage rush super. Difficult to combo into, unless you use j. anything --> Kenka.

Dosu Dragon
2141236+HP

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery
-	9 + 36 + 6	4	40
On Hit	On Block	Guard	Properties
+64 SKD	-	Unblockable	Invul f1-13 strike Opponent lands on front
A really good move. It does super high damage, and is invincible for the entire startup. This is why Torao is really dangerous once he gets meter: he can super you in the middle of attack strings, multi-hit moves, etc. It guard crushes, but your opponent can roll right past it if they're fast enough.
