Tsuranekeashi

Tsuranekeashi (連ね蹴足, Lined Up Leg Kicks^?) is one of Oro's special attacks in Street Fighter V.

Input

Street Fighter V	+

Description

Executed by performing a quarter-circle back motion and pressing kick, Oro swings his leg forward to kick his opponent. If Medium or Heavy Kick is pressed, Oro brings his heel down on his opponent to perform an axe kick as a follow-up. The EX Special version has Oro follow up the axe kick with a somersault kick that launches his opponent into the air.

Tactics

This is one of Oro's newest moves in the game. While the startup frames aren't as fast as either Nioh Riki or Oni Yanma, it can be still be cancelled into most of Oro's normals to inflict decent damage. This move doesn't require a charge motion to perform. Tsuranekeashi is mainly used to end combos or blockstrings to push the opponent back to a position where it can be difficult to punish Oro.

The startup, range, and damage output is determined by the strength of the kick button pressed. The Light version has the fastest startup, but inflicts the least damage. It only hits the opponent once and is +2 on hit. Oro can cancel into Light Tsuranekeashi to create separation from his opponent with the risk of taking a punish combo. Medium Tsuranekeashi hits the opponent twice, dealing more damage than the Light version. Despite having a longer startup, it also leaves the opponent in a standing position and brings them in closer on hit, allowing Oro to maintain pressure with Crouching Medium Kick, one of his ranged unique attacks, or even a throw. The Heavy version has the longest startup. However, it has the longest range, inflicts the most damage, results in a knockdown. Oro can dash forward to get decent okizeme or keep his distance while pestering his opponent with projectiles. Each version can be cancelled into Oro's Critical Art.

The EX version has the same startup and damage output as the Medium version. However, it launches the opponent into the air, allowing Oro to follow up with another attack for additional damage. He can link with Kaeshi Genkotsu before cancelling into a second Tsuranekeashi. If Oro is equipped with his second V-Skill, he can perform the short hop toward the descending opponent and follow up with either the overhead chop or downward kick. The punch follow-up leaves the opponent closer to Oro, while the kick follow-up is better for extending combos.

If equipped with his first V-Trigger, then he can cancel either version of Tsuranekeashi into his command grab. The opponent must be on the ground in order for Oro to perform Kishinriki. If he has his second V-Trigger active, Tsuranekeashi becomes the go-to special attack when dealing hits and damage to the opponent. Because the Medium version leaves the opponent standing, hitting the opponent with Medium Tsuranekeashi allows Oro to continue the combo for additional damage while the objects crash into them.
