Well Ubisoft.... At first I was so excited for the new reworks, I don't mind the PK rework, it's a well needed fix, but I'm concerned with these reworks, I can't tell if these reworks are going to create a more enjoyable atmosphere. As a dedicated Orochi main I was pleased With the riptide strike and the faster light speed. But Storm Rush? really? sure it looks cool but it's only going to be effective for a week if even.
What Orochi really needs and will most definitely need is an opener. What the hell is Orochi supposed to do without an opener like Kensei and his top light jab he has orochi needs AN OPENER, NOT COOL LOOKING MOVES THAT WILL BE PARRIED IN LESS THAN A WEEKS TIME AFTER THE RELEASE OF SEASON 7.
I think Orochi will be still below the tiers. The orochi has nothing to offer as a way to initiate a fight. Sure he is a counter attacker, but how can you counter attack someone who will not attack first. I don't know about people who play Peace Keeper but these two hero reworks were no where near what I had hoped for. Talk users might want to be happy that she didn't get a rework because the first reworks were very solid and was a phenomenal change for the quality of those heroes. Orochi got new chains( which he should) But where is the juicy stuff. Where is the RE-WORK in the character. It was nearly no more than a BUFF and a change in how the moves look. Ubisoft this is not what orochi needed, I hope you guys will really look into the importance of the moves that Orochi needs. I'm not upset that he has no bash but no unblockables? Maybe it's time I move away from the character that I have been dedicated to since the release the game and go grab a character like berserker with great feints, an unblock able, and hyper armor orochi has none of these, so I dearly hope that Orochi will be further looked into so that Orochi will have the moves that he actually needs to keep him up to meta.
Honestly I see orochi needs another buff or rework by the start of season 7 if nothing further is added to his kit.
Thank You- Don Don

Everyone who uses the orochi knows that the wind gust is the go to, when deflecting because it flows better. I believe that the hurricane blast is needing a small rework to get people to use it more often like maybe it pins someone similar to the cent, or it should add a bleeding effect similar to pk, something awesome that I should thought of would be a throw move similar to the gladiator after the move hits you could do a quick throw in a direction of choice.

I just come to forum to say that, thank you for that first.
Like u said, orochi doesnt need 3 storm rush which maybe isnt easy to parry at begin but will BE EASY TO BLOCK. They add a undodgable attack which should scary people, but for what reason? people just will block it, The quetion is , ok u did everything faster,and he has now more chains, but my dudes, every middle skilled player can block everything, orochi might be better now for 4v4 but 1v1 still cant do nothing vs turtles ! ( in close to every 1v1 u see , its all about how u punish people out of stamina, and without unblockable or kick or bash u cant PUNISH , people will stay and block everything u throw at them, i,m not talking about people which fall into a feint heavy or something without stamina , i,m talking about >middle skill )
An idea maybe ( i know will never happens but let me say ) : u have the new execution of orochi after the third attack he kick / tackle the opponent, this kick could be the opener and the answer for turtles .
I,m orochi main aswell and i dont know why didnt orochi get a unblockable, atleast ONE for love of forhonorgod.

as an orochi myself i have to say unblockables are a crutch, i parry them a good 95% of the time and melee bashes are a joke very few of the heroes have one that will open a turtle, the storm rush can be fainted later which means more time to fool the opponent change direction is nice cause it gives you options, i have to question if you guys really play rochi or just concerned you may start to lose against him now he's not so telegraphed.

Musashi do you actually play this game !???! U cant come around and say unblockables r crutch becaus u can parry them?!? lol
In 1v1, in 3 cases u can hit an enemy 1. Ur opponent make mistake and fail a block ( it could be normal attack or a feint attack ) 2. ur opponent fail to parry , u will have this animation that it feels like u get parried but u hit at the end 3. Ur opponent is out of stamina and u can punish it with feints ! NOOBS try to parry everything even if they r out of stamina which means if u fail to parry u will fall down and ur opponent can do heavy damage , middle skilled and good players never parry if they r out of stamina , they just block attacks , When u play a hero like zerk these days u can play with top heavy finisher ( unblockable ) to do damage and make people to try to parry it or try to dodge it, which give u the chance to punish it with a feint to grab or feint to parry punish . SO UNBLOCKABLES r need for this situations, if ur hero has NADA of these unblockables u cant do these things anymore, which make ur hero very weak at the end of they day, the new orochi has a lot of attacks but noone of them bring u these advantages . The feint storm rush to grab can be painful at begin but after a few tries u will find out that u should stay and just hold the direction of the attack to block ( if u try to parry u can fall to feint grab ) and if grab come just rgrab. I dont tell that these changes r not nice or useless at the end of the day BUT its not enough to have orochi on top after a rework at least in 1v1 ! WE WILL SEE IT ANYWAYS brothers and sisters.
