2. Why I Wrote This FAQ
---------------------------

I'm an anime fan, and when I first heard of Oni I was pretty excited to
say the least. The concept of the game was fantastic, beating up people
with martial arts move sounded much more exciting than any third-person
game that came before it.

When I got Oni, my impressions were justified. Oni was a fantastic game,
the gameplay was great and the characters beautifully animated. I quite
liked the story as well, but it was a little predictable. The game did
have some minor problems, but the fantastic fighting action made up for
the errors that the developers made.

I've been wanting to write an FAQ for some time now, and Oni was the
perfect opportunity to get started. And because it's my first ever
FAQ, I don't expect it to be perfect. If you find a crippling error
the please e-mail me at RugbyMart@Lineone.net and i'll correct it as
soon as I can. Also, if you like my FAQ then please E-Mail me as well
so I know i'm doing a good job which will inspire me to write more FAQ's
and that's a good thing, isn't it?


-------------------
II. What Is Oni?
-------------------

Oni is a third person action game developed from Bungie and Gathering Of
Developers (GOD), that mixes elements of Beat 'Em Ups, Shoot 'Em Ups and
Adventure games. Ever wanted to unload a clip of bullets into your enemy and
then run up to him and steal his gun? You can in Oni. Ever wanted to unleash a
lethal barrage of punches and kicks onto 3 people at once? You can also this
in Oni. It breathes new life into the Third Person genre after it was saturated
to bursting poing by Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider series.

You play Konoko, a young woman who's strength, speed and vitality is greater
than the normal human. She doesn't know anything about herself because her
whole life is a mystery. Konoko works for the TCTF, a band of elite police
who put an end to crime.

The world is run by the World Coalition Government and the wastelands outside
the huge megacities is barren and poisonous to all life. And if that wasn't
enough, a large underground group of terrorists called The Syndicate have
world domination in their eyes.

III. Controls
---------------

The Controls in Oni take a little bit of getting used to, but once you've got
them you'll be throwing people over your shoulder and snapping their necks in
no time.

Default Controls

W = Run Forward
S = Run Backwards
A = Sidestep Left
D = Sidestep Right

Q = Toggle Weapon/Pick Up Items
E = Drop Weapon

SPACE = Jump
Left Click = Punch/Fire Weapon
Right Click = Kick
SHIFT = crouch

capslock = Toggle Walk
CTRL = Action

Tab = Hypo
R = Reload Weapon

It's not that hard to change the controls in Oni, but you've got to know what you are
doing. Go into the directory that you installed Oni in (e.g C:\Games\Oni) and open
up the key_config.txt file. You can then re-bind all of the keys to a new one.


------------
IV. Moves
------------

Konoko can do more than just kick and punch. She's got special moves for every
type of situation.


Escape Moves

Press CROUCH + any DIRECTION.


These moves are great for dodging oncoming attacks, and they can also set you
up in a good position to retaliate.

Jump Flip

JUMP, then press CROUCH while in mid-air

Besides looking really cool, the jump flip lets Konoko reach higher areas that
her normal jump would. She can also attack enemies with this move too!

Slide

DOUBLE TAP FORWARD to dash, then press CROUCH

This move is good for dodging laser beams easily and can also be used to hit
someone in the legs or while they're on the floor.

Throws

press FORWARD + JUMP or KICK

Throws are pretty easy to pull off, and do a large amount of damage. They also
are unblockable by the enemy, but you have to be standing right next to them
for the move to connect. And If you are close enough to throw an enemy, he's
close enough to throw you.

Running Throws

press KICK when running

This move is just like a normal throw, but you have to run into your opponent
first. This move is great for throwing opponents of ledges and building (which
kills them instantly) but make sure that Konoko doesn't end up falling to her
death as well!

Sledgehammer Heel

PUNCH, PUNCH, KICK

This move can be tricky to pull off, but if you can get it right it does a huge
amount of damage. The last move does the most damage, but it can often get
blocked by opponents.

Block

stand in a neutral position (not pressing any buttons)

Oni's not all about attacking, sometimes you have to defend yourself to
conserve you health. It's very easy to do, but can take some practice to
master.

Disarm

press FORWARD + PUNCH

Konoko will snatch the gun of the opponent if you use this move, which means
you can easily get the upper hand during a fight.

Backbreaker

from behind an enemy press FORWARD + KICK

This is an absolutely devastating move, and kills the weaker opponents of the
game instantly.

Triple Hit Haymaker

PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH

A fast and quite powerful attack, and ever so simple to pull off. Good to use
when surrounded, as the final punch knock the enemy to the floor.

Spinning Sidekick
