deflect.
dodge attack.

I can’t believe he made his way into release now. Just fought my first spammer as Orochi. Completely locked out until death. Ganking only gives him unbreakable attacks until death against multiple of you. Complete BS in my opinion. Gonna fight on to see if I can break through - at least it’s a wall I can keep hitting at to see. As for the player I’m fighting against, absolute jerk.

Ubisoft made the godly character even stronger. I don't buy that bottom tier crap they spewed for a one second. If one of them is against you, don't bother playing.

I'm hoping that data shows that people won't even play so they nerf him into oblivion. Last night I had Aras attacking me so rapidly that, aside from avoiding the very first swing, I could do nothing. Just a series of baps that I could not dodge, deflect, or block out of. You are literally stuck in their gravity well until death - which btw comes quicker now because he's been buffed for some reason.

Exactly aramusha is pure cancer, almost the same lvl as the Old centurion. Aramusha gets buffed and the playerbase shrinks unfortunatly...

And anyone who actually plays the game, doesnt care that you dont care, if you die to Aramushas LIGHTSPAM, you're a noob. If hes feinting, its not lightspam, its you being killed by mindgames and is a YOU issue EITHER WAY.

Blocking top does work for his LIGHTSPAM because his chain will get interrupted, and if he does a side light into side heavy finisher and feints that into another light then its slow enough that you can EASILY react to it (I see people grab me out of it, assassins deflect out of it and PK's zone me out of it easy) and its not lightspam at that point.

Seriously this community makes no sense, everyone cries that Aramusha is only about light-spamming, so when they give him other options to use they cry more? Damned if you do, damned if you dont... Im starting to think this is just an issue with the community hating Samurai at this point.

First off, ubisoft simply gave him options outside of light chain and the ability to heavy from GB, not even that big of a buff. They also haven't touched his attack speed, he is at the same speed since he launched.
2: ubisoft never claimed musha to be a sub par performer in matches, that was us, the players. We decided that after spending time LEARNING to counter this character.
3 hoping that another class gets nerfed into oblivion is not going to help you deal with them at all. It won't assist you in becoming better at this game, in fact it's more of a crutch that says "I can't be bothered to learn mechanics, make it easier or I'm leaving!"

Yes, musha can be countered, even by assassin classes. You just need to practice. Like with everything else in life is not going to just happen unless you make it so.

It's select few players that always seem to be having the same issues, regardless of character. I've seen these exact same arguments after centurion/shinobi were launched.
In fact the only hero very few players complained about was highlander.
What this tells me is this community had no idea what balance is or means. They simply post of the cuff, overly emotional rants about how unfair it is that they got killed by something cheap. That unless a hero under performs he is OP.

It’s really not. You on console? Go in there as an orochi the next time you’re in there and come back with the results. I’ve just watched him 10+ - 0 kd about four games in a row. I got him down to a bees inch of health without taking a hit, then that first hit I took was the end of it. I’m no god player, I go alright, and I don’t know about all Assassin characters, but it seems like no chance atm.

I run assassin characters almost exclusively (PK rep 17, Orochi rep 2 shaman rep 9, shinobi rep 3?) Reflex guard isn't reliable enough from my experience to justify blocking his attacks. So I don't bother. Even spamming dodge without timing you can land an accidental deflect. And yes, I'm on console, and his attack speed is about the only thing going for him.

I'm not just bowing smoke when I say it just takes a few hours of practice. If you are calm and don't get emotional, it is simply a matter of timing. Outside of that keep him at range till you are ready to engage, since he didn't have any viable openers.

Up voted. Good on you for staying calm. I don't think I could have with a post like that.
perhaps i'll need to take another break from the forums again. at least until the reworks drop.
