Introduction
By finally mastering the Satsui no Hado, the man has become consumed by it. Both his mind and soul are gone, and his body has been transformed into something that is incapable of being called human. What was once an honorable code of fighting only the strong is now a crazed desire to destroy everyone and everything in the universe. The Supreme Master of the Fist, Akuma, is dead. Now, there is only Oni, a demon in the truest sense of the word.
Oni's playstyle can be considered a combination of Akuma and Gouken's. He has the chargeable fireballs and excellent normals of Gouken, with the mindgame and lengthy combo potential of Akuma. Unlike both of them, he has his own set of tools which he is very reliant upon, in the form of his Demon Slashes, Demon Palms, and Air Dashes. However, he has also inherited the one main problem both Akuma and Gouken share - his defense is very weak. His only reliable option for a reversal is the Shoryuken, and despite him having higher health than Akuma, he is also bulkier, having sub-par walk speed and a horrible backdash to boot. His Focus Attack is also tied with Balrog's for the worst in the game. Both your execution skills and your ability to read the opponent must be spot-on if you wish to ensure victory for Oni.
