Enchanted Moves (Kai)

236a (Kai), Enchant puts an "Enchant Circle" around Orju, which powers up his other special moves. Likewise, his 236c "Super Enchant" will also put an enchant circle around Orju. These Enchant circles will modify the special move properties depending on what Enchant type it is, and what Shift you're in. The effect of the circle fades after use or if enough time passes. Range of 5c projectile also reduces as the rings shrinks over time.

All damage numbers are for when you are in that particular shift.

Unshifted Enchant:

Ring lasts for 20 seconds.
5c shoots invisible projectile in area of ring, doesn't launch, dissipates ring on hit. 800dm, (85%)
214a has blast trail that follows behind him. Does massive damage. Up to 16 hits, 2141dmg, (44%). In corner, up to 16 hits, 2263 (37%). On jumping opponent landing in the trail, up to 20 hits, 3000dmg (??%). Can chain from 5c before ring dissipates.
623a increased damage, priority, and range from the "blast ring" that circles him. If only first hit connects, 800dmg (85%), if both hits connect 1293dmg (68%).
236b leaves an energy "dot" behind that will launch the opponent if connected. 1000dmg, (85%)

Monster Enchant:

5c shoots invisible projectile in area of ring that knocks down (launches), one use only. 479dmg, (95%)
214a creates a "time stop" field around where he performs the move, causes opponent to lock in place for a short period of time. Hits only at end of dash, otherwise may pass through opponent dealing no damage. 1343 dmg, (80%).
623a increased damage, priority, and range from the "blast ring" that circles him. If only first hit connects, 1099dmg (85%), if only first and second hit connect 1781dmg (68%), if all hits connect 2494dmg (57%).
236b energy dot hits once and knocks down -- dot persists after it hits and becomes impassable and locks opponent near it. Opponent can't walk, dash, jump away from, or attack the dot to power break you (good okizeme in corner). 959dmg, (85%)

Tranquility Enchant:

5c Creates an enchant circle that acts as a timer. While the new enchant circle (timer) is on the screen, the enchant circle that surrounds Orju will collide with any of the opponent's hit-boxes which will cause a powerbreak on whoever has the lowest points (if Orju has lower points, he will be power broke). If points are even, then the ring does nothing.
214a Creates a trail of slow-floating leaves behind him. Leaves can hit for very minor damage or chip for better damage (good okizeme).
623a increased damage, priority, and range from the "blast ring" that circles him.
236b energy dot hits (2 hits max) and launches -- dot creates an enchant circle around opponent if it connects. This causes the opponent to slowly lose health while they have the ring around them after they are hit by the dot, the amount of life drained is added to the damage counter when you perform other moves. Multiple rings stack. The ring disappears when the opponent hits Orju.

Freedom Enchant:

5c multiple use, empties remaining Freedom % approx. 15% per use or recharges shift charge gauge by same amount when unshifted. Lasts approximately 17 seconds.
214a creates an unblockable blue trail behind him that launches, does no damage. Good meaty move since it's unblockable. Best used after shift ends while you still have the shifted enchant circle, or hitting an opponent at very end of the dash. Dash may hit for 299dmg (90%).
623a Increased priority, and vertical range from the "blast ring" that circles him. Horizontal range reduced. Leaves behind an enchant circle that acts as a timer. While the enchant circle is on the screen the opponent will fall very slowly, but you can't summon another enchant circle until it dissipates. 119dmg, (90%)
236b creates impassible energy dot that does not hit and lasts for approximately 10 seconds. Opponent can jump or backdash through it, but can not walk through it.

Super Enchant:

- Level 1:
Lasts for 5 seconds.
5c shoots invisible projectile in area of ring that freezes (can OTG), multiple use.

Strategies

Orju Is a really good character if you have a handle on the games engine. Orju has some strengths and some weaknesses. Each particular groove is made the help cover some of Orju's weaknesses and add to his strengths. For those who are starting to use Orju, It would probably be wise that you start off with the tranquility groove. The reason for this is because of the fact that Orju gains so much from this. He has extremely good oki as well as a variety of tricks at his disposal.

Orju is lacking in the area of several things. First off he doesnt really have a reliable anti air. This allows characters such as Katze or Othello to consistantly jump in on Orju. This because a serious problem because this limits Orju's options offensively and defensively. In order to make up for this, Orju has to make sure to keep them out of the air by keeping them on the ground. There are several ways he can do this. He can Keep them from jumping by hitting them at the beginning of the jump. That way, your opponent gets knocked down and gives you a bit of an edge. While enchanted, Orju has better options against repeated jumpins; 623a Is a pretty good AA when normal enchanted. Your opponent more than likely will be more careful jumping in when they get hit by this move. 5a is a pretty decent situational anti air.

Sidenote: Outside of Enchanted 623A Orju's most reliable AA would be Standing B (or 5b)

Your main goal with Orju is to try to stay normal enchanted(236a not shifted). While you are enchanted, Orju has alot more options. Read the specials moves section to get more of an understanding of what being enchanted means. Another thing you should do while playing Orju is be VERY patient. This cannot be stressed enough. You cannot recklessly attack with Orju because his pokes really aren't that good.

Your opponent for the most part will be able to backdash alot of your attacks with easy(backdashing is invincible at the start up) You can do the following to try and catch a backdash if you believe your opponent is going to backdash:

662 C
66 B
66 A(probably your safest option, Use pretty often)
Dash up Throw

Shift specific's

Monster shift

While Monster shift gives all special attacks The ability to do more damage than normal, Orju doesnt really gain anything from this. Orju's Shifted Enchant (236A) Does not give orju enough of an advantage over anything. While enchanted(during shift), 214a Becomes a type of "timestop" Freezes your opponent for a very limited amount of time. However, There are not any known ways of making this a very formatible move. Shift enchanted 623A isnt really too much different from the normal one. The dot (236b)Enchat shifted, If it hits, it will knock your opponent down. If they get up it holds them in place (keeps them from moving in the direction the dot is in). Overall. Monster shift does not gain anything from being shifted. Only play this if you feel like being different. Other than that, You really will not gain anything from playing this shift. It would be best to play Freedom or tranquility.

Freedom Shift

First To have been thought to be pretty Crappy, Orju in this shift has VERY unique style of play. Unlike Monster and Traquility, Orju In this shift has a VERY serious rushdown, Very hard to guess frametraps, Unblockables, damaging combos, And last but not least, He has extremely good mixups. Shift Enchanted 214A allows for unblockables due to the trail following the move. In other words, Free KnockDowns. Very valuable to Orju in this mode. Orju in freedom has really good Okizeme as well. 214a shifted is REALLY fast. You can do these after a knockdown midscreen to get a seriously hard to guess oki game on your opponent. Freedom orju is also pretty advanced to play. Requires alot of patience to learn his combos and master his different style of play to that of Monster and Tranquility Shifts.

Tranquility shift

Orju's best shift. In this mode, It is extremely hard to keep orju down while shifted. SHifted Enchant is really powerful(Read the move lists above for detailed descriptions on what his shifted in chant is able to do) 214A has alot of autoguard, so its really easy to deal with Pressure situations for tranquil orju. 236B Shift Enchanted is REALLY REALLY good.(Once again read above for information regarding this move)

Combos

Orju Isnt exactly a combo machine. So don't play Orju believing that you are going to do alot of cool combos.

-No meter-

2aab, 5c, 214A
2aab, 5c, 66a, 214a
2abc, 662c, 214a or 236a (This combo sets up an enchant which is very important for Orju)

-Shift Cancels-

Any shift:

2aab, 5c, 66a, 214a, shift, 5c, 214c, 5c, 66c, 236a
