Arekonator is right in saying Orochi is as popular as he/she is due to been the most stereotypical Samurai. Even before For Honor when I heard the term “samurai” a figure like Orochi would come to mind.
Orochi is one of the most predictable and easiest class to counter if you know what to look for. That’s why when you come across a good Orochi who deals damage you know they are skillfull if they manage to down you with such a limited move set. Unless you aren’t that great of a player. Back in the day when zone flicker was a thing, that’s low skill with Orochi.

Actually shaman has faster dodge attacks.Originally Posted by Tecknoterrorist Go to original post
Shaman is also the fastest (if we're talking sprint speed)
If it tracked you you dodged early. or connection problems. his forward dash is actually awful.
You're blaming the game instead of yourself. Classic.
Also not an orochi main. I main centurion/aramusha.
I can understand the frustration in fighting an Orochi buddy. Even with a limited moveset, it feels as if a good one can chunk your health down quickly. I really struggled against him in beta but here are some tips that may help:
1.Guard top: his double too lights are pretty quick and they hurt.
2. React to zone: his zone is quick but has a very distinct animation (spinning) and always comes out on the same side.
3. If the orochi is fronting a lot into gb, prioritize blocking over parries if you are not comfortable feinting your oarry into cgb.
4. Feint and punish dodge attacks (if the orochi is using them often). The dodge attack cannot be fronted and is a pretty easy parry in the direction of the dodge.
5.Punish storm rush. If an orochi is finishing a storm rush, it is easy to time and comes out on the same side. A single parry is enough to deter an orochi from trying it again.
6. If the orochi is good at deflecting, avoid predictable patterns or overly telegraphed moves.
I know it can be frustrating but hang in there and practice keeping in mind that his strengths are very counterable. You will be decapitating orochi in no time. Hope this helps!
