I'm 191 on console I have no problems with orochi if your looking too much into his light inputs
your not gonna parry him as much as you would when you watch his animations when it comes to
parrying lights animation of the attack and timing are key plus if you don't like how good orochi is when says he's
pretty bad but not peacekeeper bad than you should try him and comfirm how good he really is
trust I'm rep 16 you I think the only thing that is good about him is his awesome deflects because
they are irreplacable and unique for all assassins

Orochi has nothing without fast lights, and primarily stems off of counters and speed. Fast lights, deflects, and counter attacks is Orochi's playstyle, and harassing with lights is his/her way of damage.
Unless the Orochi has a yucky ping, it's your fault for getting light spammed. The longer you play, the better your reactions are going to get. Go into the arena and just set a bot for light spam, and parry as many lights as possible for like half an hour to an hour. For 2 straight weeks I did this, and by the time I fought an actual player, about 90% of the attacks that would normally hit me were now being blocked or parried.
Even on console, good players will actually be happy to see a light spammer. Not because they're easy to parry, but because light spammers are predictable... They just throw three lights. All you need to do is condition your reflexes for 400ms light attacks, and that comes with practice and time.

The very existence of this thread prove that its writer is bad at the game, does not know the game, and everyone that have the same opinion is equally idiotic.
Orochi is not faster than any other hero. He have 500 ms starting light like almost everyone else in the game, warden included. His dodge attacks are 600 ms, slower than most light attacks. His back-dodge attack is also 600 ms. You know, the 600 ms speed that make people say that Highlander light are not viable? His storm rush is 500 ms on one side only, as fast as a standard light attack. His zone is 500 ms, just like the zone of Warden, Tiandi, Kensei, etc, etc, etc. Those who complain about deflect might be the worst of the bunch. The windows of side deflect is 33 ms because of the i-frame having superiority to deflect frame. Its a move on prediction only, and with a timing that boil the move to luck. If you get deflected, you are previsible, don't know how to feint, and stupid enough to blame a move that is harder to pull than a parry and deal a mere 5 more damage than a light parry, which is arguably easier to perform than a deflect.
The first who say that a "skilled player whit Orochi is dangerous" in answers to that deserve a slap to the face with a metal gauntlet. ANY skilled player with ANY character is dangerous, and they would be a lot more dangerous with other character because all other characters in the game have more to their kit than Orochi and can do more than Orochi in the same situation. If you lose against a good Orochi, you would have lost regardless of the character the player used. The only way for an Orochi player to win is for the opponent to be bad enough to not be able to react 500 ms light and 800 ms heavy, with no mix-up whatsoever except hard feinting, which is something that ALL character can do.
Conclusion, Orochi is bad, if you lose against it you are either a bad player or your opponent was so much better that they would have won regardless of the character picked. Pick whatever can heal your pathetic ego that whine over losing to one of the worst character in the game.

Orochi has nothing to trade in for improvements, his kit is about as basic as it could get for an assassin.
