my Orochi's light-deflect (insert name) got gobbled up by both shaman / aramusha chain.
I was so happy when I deflected that Shaman..
..for about ~200MS. Then tears.
Hopefully that was a glitch or they had revenge or something I don't recall correctly, a deflect should stop their chains right? I deflected, went into light-deflect move, she starts a new light and hits me with that light attack before the deflect connects (interrupted me). Doesn't seem right..
From what I can tell of my own experience, its like Ara's lights create a stagger that will ignore reflex guard inputs (regardless of whether you try to block each direction per hit or just stay in topguard etc). Really I'm left up to the mercy of the Aramusha, hopefully he stops to do a heavy or heavy feint that inputs will read. I don't think I'm slow on my reactions, have no issue with other non-assasin heros
It is a reflex guard issue. I got wrecked the other day by an Aramusha and recorded it. Watching it again it is clear I blocked up and you can see the block flash and it made the block sound but he continued with the side light then top again. I wasn't sure if it was registering with the lag or something so capturing the video was helpful to I was doing it right. With my Kensei I have no issues, top guard stops it every time.
