It's all fine and good to talk about balance but don't spread misinformation please. He doesn't get free hits from anything in his kit. You're just not used to the speed. Or the new orochi. And you're seeking to blame something besides yourself. Give it time. and practice against him in training.

I dont know Raime, had plenty of occasions where my guard just does not come up against him.

Haven't played since January. Have they fixed the timesnap removal issue for consoles yet?

New Orochi is very good. Storm rush((The heavy attack one)) is really REALLY powerful. Its extrmely hard to dodge any of the 3 attacks due to hte range and its a guessing game cause it doesn't tell you what direction it is from until the very last moment, and with its speed, its a very safe move. The new Orochi is hands down extremely powerful.

He changed from being a counter attacker, to a relentless offensive attacker, like most of the assassin classes. Borderline unreactable speed, and tons of mix up options.

Forces people to turtle sadly.

I have to agree that the new Orochi is borderline ridiculous. They changed him from having a unique play style to something we already have a lot of.

used him for the first time I just spammed lights and literally my opens couldn't parry or block quick enough, and mixed with his storm rush and swift strike he is an animal.

Its not just a console issue. Its bad on PC as well (I play on both). Orochi as he is right now is amazing for anyone who plays as him. That however doesn't make him "good" and "balanced". Due to his speed and moveset he's a hero with Zero-Risk High reward play.

He can now get 2-3 free hits if the first isn't blocked because the opponent's hero can't recover his guard stance (black indicator) by the time the next two attacks land. Multiple heroes are currently shutdown outright. Shugoki and Warden are the ones that literally can't do anything unless they manage to OOO the orochi somehow. There isn't a single move that a warden or Shugoki have that can match the speed of any of the Orochi moves. So even attempting to heavy + feint + heavy or even heavy + feint + light is practically suicide because in the time you do one or the other the orochi can land 2-4 hits.

His storm rush is ludicrous now. Not only is it a near guessing game from which direction it might come, but it gives the orochi another free attack if it lands. Add to this the ridiculous distance it can close especially if initiated with a top attack which further extends the reach AND if the tracking kicks in right at the end it will extend slightly further still.

Right now hes is just as frustrating to fight as a Cent or a competent Shinobi. Not fun at all.

While i agree lights are too fast.. i don't on evrything else as you talk like if he was impossible to fight.. specially with warden.. man in a duel Rochi/Warden i would pick Warden..

Here is my suggestion to stop light spamming: Slow down light attacks. Crazy right? Oh wait, they will become utterly useless... unless: https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...fense-Overhaul
