Input
All appearances Arcade-Stick-Right+Arcade-Button-MPunch

Description

Executed by pressing forward and Medium Punch, Oro spins toward his opponent and delivers a back fist strike. If no directional input or button is pressed after the throw, Oro briefly plays with his turtle before returning to his stance.

Tactics

This move is one of Oro's mid-range normals. It slightly moves him forward and can be used to out-poke his opponent. It can also be used to keep his opponent at a distance. Even though it has a 10-frame startup, Oro can cancel Kaeshi Genkotsu into his special moves like Nioh Riki, his second V-Skill, or into V-Trigger for frame advantage. If Oro hits his opponent with EX Tsuranekeashi, he can link Kaeshi Genkotsu to continue the combo for more additional damage. While this move is -4 on block, it can be difficult for his opponent to punish if spaced correctly.
