Listen i main orochi because i love the character. But lets be real he is not over powered. He can only attack from two directions. But here are some fixes i think would help balance him.

1.reflex guard is buggy i know you know this ubisoft and its probably a difficuly fix but if needs to happen.

2.top lights are over powered. Id say nerf the damage to 20 and speed up other lights to be as fast as top lights and make it to where he gets 2 hits from any direction that way he cant take a bar and a half off one move. the first hit should do 15dmg and the second 5dmg.

3. Speed up heavies he is an assasin all heavies should do be at least 700ms but make them do 30dmg on first and 25 on second dmg instead of 35 on top. And lighting strikes twice should be faster also

4. Destroy zone flicker its bs and give him more stamina. I shouldnt run out of stamina after fienting and doing a zone. Also off topic why is the wardens zone just as fast as an assassins?

5. Storm rush needs to be faster on startup and release. A warden thats right in front of me will beat me with a side heavy if i storm rush at the same time. When im closer it should take about 600ms to hit and 700 when im father away. It should have less frames on start up also. And should do 35dmg and cancelable later. now if parried it should be punished much harder like shinobis grab. If they parry they should get a free heavy and a light (unless its lawbringer top heavy and light). It should also start a chain it is a heavy after all. So lightning strikes should not be guarunteed but double lights should be if i attack from the right direction and seeing as how they are only 20dmg it would be a good combo but not op.

6.Rip tide strike is useless. Id rather throw out a random top heavy its safer and doesnt use as much stamina. It should be able to be held for more damage or cancelable. It should aslo be speed up on start up frames and given hyper armor. Or held for more dmg and speed up on start up frames. Just make it usable tbh.

7. Last his costumes are boring he looks the same all the time and his executions are boring. Knights have fire coming out of their *** vikings have lightning the warlord WWE'S people with his shield and orochi just cuts heads off pretty much.
