I think you are missing the point I'm making.
1) Dodging is a huge part of this game - if I parried in a 1 v 2 i'm also at risk of getting lawbringer flipped, raider tackled etc. etc., a deflect out and hit would both clear me and punish my 1st enemy.
2) Orochi can parry the same as everyone else, and can punish for 22 damage off parrying a heavy with his top lights, making him one of the best at that.
3) Orochi also has deflect with the potential to deal FIFTY damage (65 in revenge!) - this isnt guaranteed however you can use it as a launchpad to inflict other damage OR blast through the rest of the trade with hyper armour to hit like an unparryable shugo
4) if you have slipped under an attack, orochis window to use his dodge attack lets you recognise this and land safe dodge attacks. These are not for use outside of a succesful dodge (like a bull fighter, tag them as they pass)
5) he has speed to interrupt, agility to allow him to dodge on reaction & punish (both side and backwards) & also remember you don't have to dodge attack, its just an option - you can just top light as soon as you pass the window of dodge attack while they are in recovery frame or GB and heavy like people without a dodge attack...
To be honest Orochi is a wrecking ball if your 'in the zone', your mind is racing 1000 MPH and your mind is working 3 steps ahead. On a good day in dominion i can score up to 1500 points, on a bad day I die horribley and change to someone simpler
