Why is the orochi so OP | Forums

[Rpb24]

Why is it that I can hit an orochi character and not stop their attack when this is not the case with others? The orochi is OP beyond belief, that's all anyone ever uses and it is infuriating. The matchmaking sucks, I either get people that totally blow and dont put up a fight, or people who are 3-5 levels higher than me and make me look a fool. 7/10 people i face go orochi just because it is so OP. I love this game, but good lord the match making and balancing is dog ****.

Orochi isn't OP. While its a good character they have nothing you open someone up with. Just try blocking for once and not attempting a parry every time you see an attack. Or stop attacking when they're attacking, they attack faster and their light attacks shoot out faster. Either that or make sure your network isn't downloading something, lag makes hits towards you AND hits you throw ghost through guards and register the hit. I see it happen when someone is lagging.

And If you want something to make a post about that's OP, try Peacekeeper light attacks that cancel into zone attack for a infinite combo. That will give you something to rage over.

I was raging at the time of posting it haha, I suppose my issue had to do more with horrible team balancing and getting gang banged by 4 orochi's at one time. The orochi may not be OP, but the team balancing is garbage and makes me not want to play the game anymore. If my buddies are not on, I struggle to find a game then get stuck with a god awful team superbly outclassed by the opposing team, then proceed to get ****ed.

Game balance is an entirely different issue that needs to be addressed. And any class can be tipped over to the unfair rage with 108 gear, or 6 pieces of starter level purple gear. Just learn your characters and you'll be fine. Also if you still think Orochi is OP after this, try seeing him during Closed Alpha. He was OP then, not anymore.

Yeah, I suppose I put my anger in the wrong place. Well, let's hope they fix the game up so it can thrive. I have 100 lvl purple gear right now and I can barely stand the game some times, can't even imagine someone just starting out.

I just hate that you can die from 2 double light top hits from a high level character. Outside of that I really dont have an issue with the character.

As an orochi main they are sub par and noob killers. If you realize their utilities and kit you can easily beat one. 1. no gap closing opener other than top attack or storm rush, both can easily be parried. 2. parry an orochi and they are completely and utterly useless. As long as you can survive a little frantic mix up of combos and zone attack spam, if u parry them alot, then you basically win. We are squishy glass cannons, if you stop the cannon part we are just glass, zephyr slash, storm rush feints, top light, forward top light, gb, and zone attack is it. There is a little more, but why would i tell you how to beat me easily. XD
