Orochi is broken

[morb]

Am I the only one who thinks orochi needs to get nerfed with its unblockable lights? I legit hate fighting against an orochi because all they do is spam lights.

Orochi is the coolest hero. If you played the campaign, it narrrates them as the "finest warriors the world has ever known", the story shows them as the more skilled and simply the best. He is very important in the story ending. He is just that typical badass samurai (unlike Kensei who looks fat and has weird wood armor behind the sholders". For his charcteristics and style I wanted to play with him long before knwoing he was considered "broken".

Yes but a samurai ass raping a knight in full armour? I dont think so lol.
Then again this was never historical.

No, not in the slightest.

Raider has his amazing dodge guard break.

Raider has an unblockable zone that doesnt have the ♥♥♥♥ feint window of Shugoki's charged heavy. Also his zone has way better tracking than Shugoki's charged heavy

Raider has stunning tap soft feints.

Shugoki's hyper armor isn't that much of an effective tool, it just slows down the fight.

Dodge GB is probably the only strong thing he has.
Raider's zone is actually has a sh*t deint window, because can be feinted only on early frames, 1 sec delay and you can't feint it. Against Raider there is no need to dodge his zones at all, just w8 and or parry zone or top light. I have more people baited on Shugs unblock while OOS than Raider.
Stunning tups are his curse. Because it's actuallt ez heavy punish for enemy. Besedes of dodge+gb, foent in to tap and zone fients, he has nothing. I prefer to read enemy with Shug and play whole 4 minutes of match, than just die over and over again as Raider.

Directional attacks all have the same feint window. You can also delay feints in the same way you delay attacks in a combo.

Stunning taps are meant to be used on occasion combined with hard feints into top attacks.

What kind of unique attacks Orochi posesses? Storm Rush and Riptide Strike. Lightning Strike and Zephyr Slash are easy to block or even parry. Every other hero can deflect, Shaman/Gladiator/Pisskeeper have better deflects.
So, only two UNIQUE moves, Riptide Strike can be baited and punished, only Storm Rush can be effective.

Average human reaction time is fast enough to parry his light attacks.

Skill > size and armour. Samurai also have good armour.
Aha yes, this video is tnteresting. It says when knights and samurai coexisted, knight's armour was much worse, not as in the game.

LMAO thats game theory. That video has been proven false so many times lol. Armour doesnt mean much when u got a blunt weapon. Not every knight used a sword. Sam armour was mainly made to stop slashing and piercing. LOL when all ur ribs are cracked anyway ur f*cked.
A katana can't even get through viking chain mail lol let alone plate armour.

let me get this straight
The only reason why Orochi side light r fast is because that's their only way of inflicting damage on direct combat.other than that theyr lacking offensive tool unlike PK.

Orochi best trait is actually their back dash light which is so good. Their heavy dash has lil bit usage but still getting outranked really hard by dat backward light.
