Discuss: What if Orochi has a dash cancel? | Forums

[MisterGuyMan]

So I was just contemplating Orochi's envisioned role in FH. He's supposed to be an agile counter-attacker. Most suggestions for Orochi focus on his counter attacking and a desire for more openers. But what if he just flat out had a dash cancel to address his agile description instead? So anytime you dash you can press the feint button and you just stop but it would require a lot of stamina. I haven't thought it through but if implemented properly, Orochi would actually look like how he was intended. Dash Cancel should be expensive so three Dash Cancels should result in exhaustion, maybe two. It also wouldn't really be overpowered since all it really does is reset everything to neutral but with less stamina for Orochi. This would also give some variety to his openers. His dash attacks would still be faster and cheaper in stamina to do. And if they don't take the bait, Orochi is actually worse off.

Again, I haven't really thought this through so it's possible I missed something. Thoughts?

Looks like Shinobi gets the Dash Cancel I wanted for Orochi. It's even really expensive on stamina just like I suggested too.

I think lot's of you guys missed the "In Revenge". Usually it's easy to dodge that chain, but in Revenge where it doesn't topple but throw you to the ground then it's over, unless the Valk really screws up. If you do it right your enemy has literally no chance at all to get away with his life unless one of his allies joins the fight. Shield Bash, Top Heavy, Shield Bash is not survivable when the Valk is in Revenge State. Same for Lawbringer, Conqueror, Warden, everyone who has a bash atack. And yes, that needs fixing. Keep it at toppling, don't make it a fall-to-the-ground thing.

You could dodge an attack, cancel and top light. It would be blockable but it would stop the Dodge attack from being an automatic block/parry.

The shinobi doesn't really have a dash cancel. He can dash again during the current dash to change direction. You can't just stop and open up on someone.

You're completely right. My mistake. That sort of dash cancel would still really help Orochi's game too IMO. I'm trying REALLY hard not to be envious at all the cool stuff Shinobi has so forgive me.
