Fix orochi top light attack | Forums

[BABONIM]

okay this has been going on for a few weeks now but orochi top light attacks are supposed to get a guaranteed extra hit should the first one connect.

However, I have noticed of late that about 60% of my top light attack that connects does not chain into a free hit instead it becomes a side attack and gets parried.

This is horse **** please fix soon ubisoft.

Funny, none of the oroaches that I've fought have had any problem connecting 2 top lights on me.

If I had to guess here's what I think might be going on:
1. Lag. You input it fine but the game rolls back the game a bit and your input is lost for whatever reason. Kinda like how sometimes you get the execution prompt but they're fine a half second later.

2. The second hit is only guaranteed if the first connects. Are you whiffing the first light, hitting the second light then expecting the third light to connect? If so, that could be it.

Aside from that... I have no clue. I'm an Orochi main Rep 9 and I don't have this issue.

I definitely connected on the first light attack but when I try to chain it it leads into a side attack which gets parried 100% of the time. This issue is very annoying as I know for a fact that I have double clicked on a guaranteed top light attack and it fails to register. Also because I feel like my input is not going through I sometimes over click on my mouse resulting in a third chain of light attack that gets punished once again.

This issue is honestly one of the more game breaking bug for orochi class and needs to be fixed now.

It is interesting to read this since I've experienced it at some point. It turns out that I did the attack before or while I was moving the mouse up and so it was triggered before I am in the top block position. That results in an attack that comes from the side.

What I am thinking is that you are so fast to press the LMB that you virtually do it before you get into the top position. Just be sure to move the mouse up and then press the button, you shouldn't have those issues.

BTW just for the info, I find it that doing the double top light one or two times and then doing one top light followed immediately by a GB connects very often. Ppl are so used to expect the 2 attacks that it is a reflex now to wait for them in top block.

most of the people I fight always parry my third light attack if i chain it. I think this is because they are looking for a parry after getting double attacked out of no where. I can sometimes land it because I do a side light attack which people dont see coming, but none the less it is very hard for me to chian all three light attacks.

fix top light? people always guard top cuz we can dodge in and light. but how about fixing me dyng to my nose getting a chunk taken out by a raider or law-bringer cuz i dodged backwards then did the overhead dodge back and forward heavy with perfect timing. not to mention im 99% sure I cant parry if im not in range of my weapon but in range of theirs which is ******** cuz irl it would be easier to knock away the tip of the blade than the bottom of it. or how about me going to parry the sound going off that i did but i still get nuked and then cant recover from the onslaught of spam from being behind in frames compiled with even a perfectly timed backwards dodge isn't enough to get out of.. and how about take a look at how long it actually takes an orochi to kill a shugoki conq warlord with light attacks cuz its impossible to get a heavy off without it looking like a glitch.

You shouldn't try the third light after the top lights - it is extremely rare to pull it off and only with new players.

Top light x2 > ZA > Heavy feint > GB (countered) > StormRush prepare (cancel)

That is one of the easiest paths to do dmg and get back to safety.

same problem here, always strike the second hit from side instead of top, and get parried, seems to be the connection problem, like input delay or something, the best solution I can figure is to turn down the mouse sensitivity, but then it's hard to play against PK valk or berserker.....

Work on your timing.

You have to press the button, then the first light hits.

At first, I was not able to pull off the double light with the warden - now its basically a 100% thing.

Keep practicing and don't give up.
