I already posted this in the General Discussion thread, but I thought Id post here too.
At this point I just don't understand the devs logic. You somehow were able to decide that SHAMAN of alllllll the characters needed a buff. And not only did you give her a buff, but you gave her a decent one. You allow her 3rd and 4th zone hits to only net you a heavy parry punish on parry instead of a light parry punish. This change honestly wasn't needed, shaman can already soft feint that zone into 3 omni directional attacks and into a gb OR she can cancel it, it didn't need that buff at all. But then you decide for orochi that his ****ing sprint speed was an issue???????? WTF. Who the **** is running from an orochi??? I understand you all are trying to make small changes instead of doing another rework, but this is ridiculous. You have a character that is supposed to be a deflect specialist, and a character whos highest damaging move is locked behind his deflect. But instead of going with the OBVIOUS change of letting him dodge out of his heavy startups like people have been asking for years. You all decide to buff his sprint attack????? I have NEVER had someone look at me in a 1v1 and run away unless it was a noob who knew they couldn't beat me in, and that was in domninion. No one is running from us, they sit and stare at us and block and parry everything we do. You let kensei dodge out of his heavy startups, you let JJ do it, but orochi still cant?? WHY? why do we continuously have to wait months for weak changes like this instead of small changes that might ACTUALLY help us?? Being able to dodge out of our heavy startups wont be gamebreaking, to be honest it wont even be that good, but it WILL help us punish aggressive players more by baiting out attacks. I cant tell you how many deflects ive been able to get when using PK because of her ability to dodge out of her heavys, Now we are going to have to wait months to get another change that most likely wont even be impactful enough to matter. This is just ridiculous at this point.

Orochi is still underpowered. His zone is abysmal. Even using unlock tech. His lights require a top heavy to land to be fast. So blocking up is basically like putting up a wall. His back pettle is fairly good, but I rarely see people use it.
With regard to his stealth zone charge it is a free GB after it, even if it’s hits. Assuming you don’t deflect it, or just Ha through it and send them into oblivion.
He needs a severe upgrade. For one he needs a proper opener. Not a bash- bashes need to be fully removed from game. But a heavy fient, into a kick or something on those lines. It would be like shinobi’s but with key that he could fient the kick into a GB.
Unlike shinobi which can back flip into deflect
