How about this Orochi fix? | Forums

You are completely right.
Personally I would like lights to generally be 500 ms, just because that is fair to all players, can't be spammed effectively because it's blockable by most and, as you said, 400ms lights are parry bait on higher levels anyway.
400ms has it's place, for example in conjunction with a bash for guaranteed, but low(!) damage.
But Orochi needs something else, so that he doesn't have to rely on just lights anymore. His existing moves are cool in theory, but simply don't work.

I think the best buff would be as simple as expanding his ability to cancel chain finishers into a dodge into the ability to cancel any recovery into a dodge. Just look at the options its opened for black prior in terms of combo extensions and also fits with the agile nature of the champs

I hope they get around to doing some sort of re work or make changes soon he's painful to play atm... not having an unblockable is so limiting -_-

Why?

Edit: the limiting part. There are asssasins with UB & then nuxia as well. Orochi is the swift counter. Just needs to be swifter on the counters.

The recovery into dodge lets you go fluidly from attack to defence and vice versa, which is much more orochi than an orange top heavy

^^ do you even play orochi bud?
I am PC.... I don't play duels.....

It might be more orochi to "be swift on the counters" BUT unfortunately he isn't viable at all at the moment.... but yeah, countering HA goes really really well : /

I used to think he really needed an opener but then they changed raider and LB to be offensive and now he just gets abused, small health pool, 0 soft feints, small stamina pool, 0 identity apart from that age old "we want orochi to be the faster counter attacker" ********....

You have to work your ASSS off to get anywhere against hito as well since you don't have a counter at all.

The assassin class is in a horrible horrible mess, reflex guard is a huge nerf now it's basically been normalized for everyone else, Deflect is a joke, with side deflects being nerfed recently...

Nuxia is a gimmick class that no1 plays... or just throws light spam.
