    Orochi’s rework

    I like the new storm rush mixups and kick melee but the orochi’s new deflect should be left the way it was, as in having either wind gust or hurricane blast as an option( even though I suppose at higher levels of play, players would know to dodge an incoming hurricane blast...). So I get why they wanted to change it.

    Also keep light finishers. It’s nice having the option to not do a mix up.

    I think his new deflect is kind of cool. I just wish they’d smooth up the animation a little bit because it looks a little janky. The only thing I would say that if they’re going to get rid of the heavy deflect, then his new one should cut through hyper armor. The only thing I ever used the heavy deflect for was trading with hyper armor heroes. The light deflect just isn’t ideal for that, so I wish it would cut through. As for the light finisher, I think it’s a good change. Orochi lightspam was still pretty annoying but now it’s limited to two lights. I think that the other options they gave him more than make up for it though. In general I think the changes are good but his animations need cleanup.

    For orochi’s light finisher, I still say keep it in, it makes more sense for orochi to have it if Kensei can have it too. Orochi has a lighter blade than kensei so it makes more sense for orochi to have swift three lights more so than kensei with his longer heavier blade. But then again this is a game where a fat heavy shugoki has a super sprint...

    Probably no one will read this

    but Having all three of storm rush’s directional attacks being undodgeable might be a mistake. It would be cool if you had top stormrush attack undodgeable, left side attack hyper armored and right side attack a quick attack.
    But idk, your thoughts?

    Hyper armour on one side won't work because Orochi normally gets hit before striking. As for the quick attack, the 400ms indicators achieve the same things on all sides. Making them all undodgeable on top of that was to make the move a mix-up. Perhaps its damage is a bit too high when combined with the guaranteed light.

    Truthfully the rework is fine honestly I personally feel we could’ve kept the heavy counter (deflect) but as someone who has been a main Orochi since the Alpha tests this is a long over due much needed rework since all the characters since then have reshaped (broken) the meta in this game time and time again, (cough* “ccu”) please do NOT nerf or change any further at this point because it’s just now (after 5 yrs) that Orochi is not completely at a loss with this new rework leave it just as it is in the testing grounds when you officially release it and I have 5-10 others who would agree and even those who don’t play with Orochi agree it’s a good rework.

    Hurricane blast is orochi signature, they shouldn't give up on this.

    Hurricane Blast is the coolest move in orochi’s Arsenal. That needs to stay.

    The second light after pretty much any attack is just as light spammy as before. Just 2 instead of three. Would love if you could get into a dodge quicker after just the two lights.

    The kick is underwhelming, should also have it from storm rush, as well as current. That would pair so well with the undodgeable attacks. Also I had trouble remembering that it was there so I tried mixing it up and saw some good results.

    Hurricane Blast should stay. It adds a level of gameplay to the orochi that it needs. Deflect blast and hit, light, or guard break, it’s a triple threat orochi needs on deflect

    His dodge times after attack seemed slow as ****.

    Should have increased the deflect window to match peacekeeper, keep hurricane blast, and have the new improved wind gust.

    Storm rush should be all 4 directions, this would give orochi more counterability, as he could use as a side dodge attack.
