Whats the one orochi move?

[The_Dark_Wall]

I've seen people do it but never get a good look at it, it also doesn't seem to be in the movelist. It looks like some sort of parry, but it's not the deflect. He does this smug little chuckle and hits you or something. Looks almost like a grab of some sort.

Its the deflect move you need to dodge an incoming attack in perfect timing.

:) Is it not ?

Maybe you mean the Upper Heavy in which first s/he steps back and then crushes down from above with a front step?

[The_Dark_Wall]

No, it's not that either. It's odd because I know it's orochi who makes the sound because I've had it done to me in a 1v1 orochi mirror. It almost looked like some sort of weird grapple, but it happened so fast that I couldn't see much more. Also the deflect moves don't make that sound. I know it's weird going off of a sound for a move, but having played him to prestige 2, I've only seen this a hand full of times and never done it myself.

...taunt?

So far i've seen s/he talks while doing three things:

1. Backstep Heavy Upper
2. Deflect into Light
3. Deflect into Heavy

Other than that i've never heard him/her saying anything. Fought plenty of 'em. Used Orochi to practice the deflect on a lvl 3 Orochi Bot though nothing seemed out of order concerning the move sets.

This. I played an Orochi in the beta up to rep 2 and play an Orochi now up to rep 4. I've never heard of what the OP us talking about. It's strange.

[The_Dark_Wall]

It is really strange, I'll have to record it next time I see it, I'm on ps4 right now. Also, no it wasn't a taunt because it stopped my incomming move, it seems to get used like a parry.

[taud]

Well.. i assume it's the heavy deflect then. It's barely used because you can easily dodge out of it or even counter it if you are in a combo and get a hit in before it connects.

To confirm.. if you get hit by it, it does a lot of damage. ;P

[The_Dark_Wall]

Actually, no, I don't remember it doing that much. Like i said I use the character, and I would recognize that move with the fact that it has the orange flames. I even went into practice to see if maybe some other sound effect made the noise, but nothing on the distinctive chuckle. I don't think he chuckles in any of his taunts, unless I haven't unlocked one where he does.

I mained the Orochi to Rep1 recently.
So you mentioned that there is no orange flame and looks like a grapple attack. Did a guardbreak happen?

That's what I was thinking but the only "Unique" Orochi throw is when you roll over their backs. At least I think that's unique to the Orochi anyway.

I believe everybody can do the "back throw."
The Viking use the end part of the staff to throw the enemy away. Peacekeeper does the jump kick. Nobushi does the kick from the staff. And as mentioned, Orochi rolls on the back and pushes.

Ok, so I heard the trademark laugh again. I was fighting an orochi who blocked a light attack. Surely it's not something so simple, since I never hear it when I block myself. Curse this mysterious orochi easter egg! Orochi the mysteriously cocky samurai
