    Orachi viability

    I'm a bit of a new player here, I was just wondering how viable the orachi is against high tier players. I've heard he is quite bad but he did get a buff recently.

    Thoughts?

    Heyo! I'm not an orochi player myself, but I brought this up with a bunch of people in the Koto Samurai discord server here: https://discord.gg/WxTQ2u8

    I'll share their responses here

    At higher skill levels, you will encounter enemies who are very capable of parrying your light attacks. They will also fall for feints much less often.

    Your main opener is going to be heavy/Storm Rush > 400ms chain light. Make sure you throw the light from a random direction every time.

    Storm Rush is a very fast move, but is also easily countered by people hitting you out of it. You need to feint it frequently, to the point where they start to expect you to feint. That's when you let it go.

    feint heavies to bait out attacks and pick from either light deflect, heavy deflect, parry, gb, zephyr strike, storm rush or just light

    keep feinting heavies
    but sometimes
    don't

    If you light spam then stop playing him
    Because they get parried often
