Orochi has no chance. | Forums

Is it even possible for Orochi to open a turtle up? I have a decent at best over top light and a decent zone attack with small range. The odds my arsenal give me to hit my opponent is 50%. If they block in the direction of Zone Attack it turns to 25% if I feint and they go for parry then yes I can open them up but against anybody with half a brain and doesn't go for parries then what?
I just feel like the Orochi is slow as hell and it becomes literally impossible to open a turtle up. I do the fake Storm rush step in cancel and that works well but even that becomes a big risk because if I go through with the Storm Rush they can jus parry or play it smart and jus go for theblock waiting for the cancel out.
My point is if they just go for the block and not go for parry Orochi has NOTHING that can hit the turtle because the only 2 moves they have that aren't slow as a slug is the overtop light and the zone attack. That is all.

Zone attack slow lol.....orochi had PLENTY of way open up a turtle you have

*storm rush cancel into guardbreak
*top light (that's kinda meh)
*zone attk
*after you storm rush cancel into guardbreak once you can storm rush again but don't cancel it and they will think your going guardbreak them

How many ways do you need open someone up? Do you want a unblockable headbeat or Sholder bash lol?

Feint bro, Orochi is cancer against turtle classes

Orochi only needs 2 moves to destroy anyone, light overhead x2 and area attack. So annoying. Then you have dodge, deflects, backdash and hit , extremely far GB and huge damage. Come on man...

I main with the Orochi i don't have any problem opening up turtles.

If the opposite player is really good at turtling, you are screwed. An Orochi has no way to open up a turtle,. Top light or ZA, despite being fast, can be block or even parry by top players.

Actually orochi's zone attack is reactable its not as fast as people think it is. the better people you play the more you'll notice they block orochis zone attack on reaction. In my opinion they need to make it faster thats all orochi needs to compete at high levels

That wouldnt fix him. Still all he would have is top light and zone. Thats not enough for high level. All his moves are useless. He needs a rework imo. But before they balance top 5 and get rid of flickers and other exploits its pointless to do anything.

Id like to call bs on this... I see pros get hit by it more often then not. If you spam it ya it's easy block. But they are blocking it out of prediction not reaction

Maybe not fix him completely but atleast he would have a viable 50/50 option to get damage on people thats something not alot of character have well beside top tiers. Right now as it is he literally has no options his zone is too slow
