Description
Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing kick, Oro jumps forward into the air. If he lands on his opponent, he kicks at their head twice and bounce off them, landing on the far side of them. The distance forward that Oro travels is determined by the kick button pressed; light kick travels the least distance and heavy kick launches Oro the furthest away; about 3/4 of the screen.
The attack can also be initiated in mid-air, where becomes the Jinchuu Nobori; Oro will kick at the opponent's head multiple times by tapping the kick button.
The EX Special is different depending on whether the attack was initiated on the ground or in the air. If used on the ground, the jump tracks in on wherever the opponent is standing at the time and kick at the head three times; if done in the air, the attack only travels a small distance but can kick up to nine times.[1]
Tactics
Jinchuu Watari is vital for Oro's most damaging combos. By cancelling the first hit of his Close Medium Punch, Oro can immediately juggle into a Jinchuu Watari, land, perform a second Close Medium Punch, repeat with another Jinchuu Watari, then finish his combo with a variety of enders. This attack, referred to as the Chicken Combo, lets Oro finish off with an Oni Yanma for damage, a Heavy Kick for a reset, or a super cancel. Yagyou Dama allows Oro to set up his infamous unblockable from a hard knockdown while also giving him the meter from a Chicken Combo to potentially set up a second rep of unblockables, while EX Tengu Stone leads into an incredibly damaging juggle and oftentimes stuns the opponent. However, the second Jinchuu Watari will whiff on Hugo, Yun, and Yang, meaning that the Chicken Combo should usually be cut short and cancelled into Tengu Stone as soon as possible.
Etymology
The term Hitobashira refers to an archaic and rare, but documented practice of Japanese origin, where an offering of a human sacrifice was to be incorporated into an architectural work for the sake of good luck and success. Jinchuu is an alternate reading of Hitobashira.
