I'm a Rep 50 Orochi , my GamerTag is ABINAEL , right now i'm the Orochi with the most kills on Xbox. I want to bring back the Orochi from Year 1 , double top lights damage today are RIDICULOUSLY LOW , bring back the Year 1 double top lights and if you want you can leave the light deflect and the riptide strike how it was before in Year 1.
In high level combat , riptide strike is almost useless , and the enemy just have to doge back with a heavy while you can't move or even the new Kensei combo that cancel his top heavy unblockable to s side heavy Tracks you if you are trying to do the riptide strike and he can execute you , and if you say that I just have to wait and parry , the are a lot of options for the Kensei with the top heavy (let go the unblockable , light attack with hyper armor , doging attack , jumping front attack , hit you with the pommel of the sword ,and even guard break after fainting the unblockable , side heavy attack with tracking , or just do light attacks , even his zone is very quick now). Orochi has nothing to defend himself now , the only thing that he had were his top lights , now it feels like you are hitting enemies with a pillow. the other things are the Deflects , going for a deflect against a good player is a suicide , he just has to do a faint to make you move in that direction and he gets a guaranteed guard beak wille you at dogging , the only guaranteed deflects are when you deflect the enemies light attack , and with some character there is not possible to deflect their attack , like Aramusha , once he starts his infinite light chain there is no possible way to deflect , the only thing that you can do is a normal block , you can't even parry.
Orochi just had 2 Moves for high level combat, those were Double top lights and zone attack , every thing else that the Orochi throws it gets parried in high level combat ,the only thing you can mix are some faints and every character can do that.Orochi has no kicks, shoulder bash , shield bash , head but , pommel hit , demon's embrace , stampede charge or anything else to push your enemies or disable them , Orochi also has no unblockables (Hurricane blast is a deflect and even if do it everyone else can gank you and kill you with heavy attacks , or even for trying to get a deflect they can get you with a guard break) a lot of characters can force you to go for the parry with an unblockable and get you with a guaranteed guard break if they get you trying to go for the unblockable just when you start your heavy to parry them.Other things that other characters can do is force you to doge and then get you with a guard break , like when you are out of stamina and a Raider steps back and then they start running at you , you don't know if they are going to do the stampede charge or the guard break , if he gets you with the stampede charge , he could probably ledge you or throw you to a wall and get a light and then and other 50/50 appears , he can faint the unblockable while you can't see and if you go for the parry while you are out of stamina he can land a heavy an his unblockable zone attack ,and also he can get with a guard break if you try parried again , and if there are no walls behind you he can let you fall into the ground and get an unblockable from that.
right now there is no way to beat a good conqueror with the Orochi because he can go from his full guard stance to his zone attack and never be at risk against an Orochi , and the only thing that an Orochi can do is wait for him to waste his stamina because if you get close to him for get the guard break and then he does the zone , for don't let you to do a guard break on him an Orochi has no unblockables or pushing attack to counter it and there is no time to waste in a dominion match or tribute and skirmish.
I even calculated with how many double top lights I have to land to kill an enemy , (I tested this with the lvl 1 Raider bot) (this comparison is using the same gear) , in year 1 I just had to land 4 double top lights to kill the Raider , and now I have to land 6 double top lights to kill him , That is One Third of the Work for killing an enemi, that's ridiculous , a third of a battle is an extremely huge difference between winning and losing.
Also before it felt imposible to kill a good LawBringer in a 1v1 , because he could turtle a lot and with just blocks and push he could put you un an 50/50 between the light attack or the guard break and now with this nerf is almost really imposible to beat him.
Even the Warden can do his Vortex when you are out of stamina and other 50/50 between the shoulder bash and the guarbreak and when you have stamina they can cancel his shoulder bash and make you do a zephyr slash , so he parries that slow light and he gets a to heavy on you.
BRING BACK THE YEAR 1 DOUBLE TOP LIGHT FOR THE OROCHI !!!! (and give him something to push your enemy (like a kick) or give him an unblockable) ( the kick and the unblockable are optional) I JUST WANT MY DOUBLE TOP LIGHTS BACK , THIS GAME IS NOT FUN ANYMORE WITH THE CHEAP DAMAGE.

Sorry, but I disagree. He was way too powerful, and way too easy to use at the same time. I played with him earlier today (first time since updates) and Orochi still feels like it's in a good place. You just have to re learn how to use him. Don't leave because of that though. Try Aramusha, that class is definitely the meta right now. Aramusha can kill with two-three hits quickly.
