(Fait is my 2nd main behind nix so my opinion matters for once)

Orb is close range and none of its moves have any range aside from dair (Which only hits diagonally and cant hit anywhere else.)

It relies on cookie cutter strings like s-light s-air or s-light d-light n-air and most orb players I've seen play like this and don't do anything else. Abuse this as s-light has little range and if it misses its a free punish. D-light is often a dash into move so just back dash to keep range on the opponent and to punish.

Its other moves like n-air has a small hitbox and hits at a very close and can't go into anything else basic except a recovery.

N-light is like gaunt's n-light but without the string potential (Unless its a complex string or they go to s-light s-air/d-air and thats a simple dodge.

d-air is annoying but it mostly relies on the bounce it has with a s-light/d-light and a simple dodge or back dash.

It's groundpound seems extremely good, but its a HUGE commitment where if you miss its rec frames could mean the stock. Most players won't use it unless they're confident that they'll hit it in which if u dodge at the right time (practice with a friend) its an ez punish.

Tldr Just get gud

The amount of range the Lance has is insane and how much mobility it has. Its broken in every way. The only way to hit a person out of the lance is to wait for them to drop the weapon.

Sure, only being able to go to the side, down and down-diagonally in the most obvious ways, is broken. Just get above it ffs.

Orb is at least better than gauntlets. That's why I main Dusk now instead of Wu Shang. It's better in the neutral game. You can just pick your opponent apart little by little and rarely get touched. And sl > sair kills easily.

Its still pretty hard to hit the enemy even though you're on top.

orb has a strong combo game and speed, but it kind of lacks range. apart from dair, orb's attacks don't really go very far. the orb is a strong weapon, but it has weaknesses that can be exploited if you know what you're doing.

its kinda op but still broken

[Aatgy ttv]

Orb is fast and has a lot of combos into itself,

but it's pretty read-heavy and gets countered by your opponent moving the opposite direction. It relies pretty hard on you opponent being super aggressive and trying to get into you at all times.

That being said orb with long range weapons like scythe and spear make up for that flaw and make it really frustrating to deal with

[LofiProc]

The orb is indeed cancerous. Most of the people know only one or two combos with it and they keep running away until they get an opening to hit you with that combo. When that`s the case just start playing passive, bait them into using the single combo that they know and then punish them. Make them cry.
