Free GB on heavy block but no deflect on block for orochi? | Forums

[Yoshimitsu_440]

I was just thinking, conqueror gets a free gb on any heavy/zone blocks, zerkers get free GB on deflect. My question is why would they nerf orochis deflect when it was triggered on block during beta? Seems like less rewarding than other two since u can actually get hit during orochis moves. How about deflect trigger on heavy blocks? What do u guys think? Just an idea.

Thanks for the suggestion and its something I can forward over to the team for consideration - but also, no bumping please

You're asking for a free unblockable light (25 damage) on block? No.

I am asking for a chance for deflect on heavy block maybe. Dont forget ur chain attacks dont stop after deflect so if u are fast enough orochi can get hit out of it. Plus zerker gets a free GB after deflect and conqueror gets a free GB after heavy block or zone block with potentially killing u in one GB if u gey thrown off the cliff.

Few classes have fast followups to heavies, those that do are not fast enough to interrupt deflect light. It's too safe of a source of damage. Dodge deflect carries some risk. If it's a feint you get guard broken. If the dodge timing is too early or too late, you either get hit or can't follow up. Auto deflect on block carries no risk. It's just a block with free damage tacked on top of it.

Excellent idea...


NOW SERIOUSLY UBISOFT: BUFF THE F**K OUT OF THE OROCHI ALREADY, AND REWORK IT.

So basically what u are saying its ok to get a free GB after blocking zone or heavy attack with conqueror, its ok to get a free GB after deflecting with zerker, but a chance for a light or heavy attack after heavy block with a risk of missing it or not able to finish it is not okay? Hm. Not to mention all of the orochis special moves very easy to parry and very predictable in late game.

I use deflects, light almost always guaranteed, heavy i use as bait for gb, takes skill to deflect, shouldnt be handed to you for moving a stick...
