Random rare objects, such as Sean’s Basketball or Blanka-chan, will add some extra damage or stun depending on which item you get. Oro pulls in three objects above his head that can create combos that weren’t possible before.
Oro’s “Tengu Stone,” also makes a return as his V-Trigger II. With his eyes glowing blue… snatch your opponents on the ground… …or in the air! With Oro’s V-Trigger I “Manrikitan,” his eyes burn blue and give him access to his command grab “Kishinriki” on the ground and “Kishin Kuchu Jigoku Gurama” in the air. “Kaki Otoshi” hits overhead and can lead to a combo! “Eda Uchi” closes the distance. The kick, “Eda Uchi,” is a move that closes the distance and is difficult for opponents to punish on block if you hit them with the edge of the attack. The punch follow-up, “Kaki Otoshi,” is an overhead. Oro’s V-Skill II is “Minomushi,” a short hop that can be canceled off of normals and has two different follow-up attacks.
Pro tip fromDirector Takayuki Nakayama: “The best time to activate ‘Onibi’ would be after knocking back the opponent with the heavy version of ‘Tsuranekeashi’ or the EX Version of ‘Nichirin Sho’, which is another projectile that chases after the opponent and is hard to avoid.” Get the most mileage from “Onibi” after throwing a projectile or a knockdown! This orb can bounce at three different trajectories depending on the direction held when activated and it can negate opponent’s projectiles. His V-Skill I, “Onibi,” is a bouncing orb projectile reminiscent of his “Yagyodama” Super Art from SFIII. Oro’s V-Skills and V-Triggers are a combination of older moves from SFIII, as well as brand new moves that give Oro a variety of options for attacking his opponents.

We’ll briefly cover some more in-depth details here. We’ve gone over Oro before, in the SFV Spring Update, so check out that blog for a refresh of Oro’s moveset. Oro’s playstyle in SFIII has allowed for a variety of gameplay strategies and his SFV iteration is no different. Returning from the Street Fighter III series, the wandering hermit is set to show these young kids how it’s done.
