[@superlarryman]

I think your damage numbers in most of your Shugoki review were wrong except for that instance, because you were up against another Shugoki, who takes 25% less damage while HA is up and 25% more damage when it's down. So his 50dmg attacks are actually 40, his 19's are 15, and his hug is only 40dmg as well. And the charged heavy is always max punish for an opponent knocked down.

Bet you didn't miss me. Here are some corrections/additional info: *Kensei* Kensei's helmet splitter into unblockable is unsafe, only do it when you know your opponent is going to die. *Shugoki* When fighting as Shugoki, try to predict opponent's GBs and punish them with a light, just don't spam it. You can drift with Shugoki, not useful, just neat. *Orochi* When playing as Orochi, abuse his chain lights, they are unreactable when delayed so anything like a heavy, Storm Rush or even whiffed light can be used as openers. *Nobushi* When the enemy is behind a wall, Nobushi's OOS punish changes, it now is: side throw > bleed light > light > kick > heavy (it will hit since the kick can wallsplat). She can also cancel her heavies with a backwards light, maybe it will hit, maybe it won't, who knows. *Shinobi* Shinobi can use his double dodge mechanic to dodge infinitely, basically, you can cancel the recovery of your double dodge by holding the heavy attack, and you can cancel your charged heavy with a dodge, so... i'll let you figure it out by yourself Shinobi's slide tackle only guarantees a singular light, just one. *Aramusha* Aramusha can buffer his all-block during chains, wich means that, if you're fighting against an Orochi and you get caught in a light chain, you can full-block the next light, guaranteeing a 30 damage top-heavy (sometimes, it's inconsistent) At low level, its a good idea to abuse his deadly feints since they're unreactable, but if you get into a level where people start backdodging, you can punish they backdodge by hard feinting your heavy finisher and doing a side heavy after, if they try to roll that side heavy, feint it into a foward dash top heavy.

[@CroJordan]

and Shinobi's forward roll into kick doesn't guarantee a ranged heavy. Only the regular kick that you access from the dash does that

[@Rebelian189]

For noobs the thing about Orochi is good info. But, heres some additional know-ledge about countering Orochi. Once you get to the point where people can parry your heavies when playing Roach, never use them unless you get a GB or are feinting them in a chain. A feint from neutral is one of the most predictable things Orochi do and it never works. Storm rush isnt all powerful and you should never panic when you see an Orochi do it. If you light and depending on distance, heavy attack while the Orochi is coming in it'll stop him completely and at most will result in a trade which Orochi cant combo after. Always keep guard in the direction his zone comes from until he attacks. And remember always block and never parry anything unless it's a dodge attack or his top lights. Orochi cant open people up for shit and needs YOU to attack first to really get any real damage in.

[@blackhood5223]

[@heccmcgee4352]

[@LaserThemTheGirl]

@@Rebelian189 Those are some good tips but an Orochi can use that in his favor aswell, especially regarding Storm Rush, a lot of the times on mid-high level play Orochis will use their Storm Rush to bait out attacks and counter them, so in the end, it's mostly mind-games.

If you want the 100% hug off of fall down then watch the animations. When the character falls and hits the ground they will go flat and stay still for just a second before they start to get up. The SECOND they start to move and get up, initiate the hug. You'll get it every time once you get the timing down.

[@GraveDeath101]

Quick lil shubroki max punish tip: if you throw an oos enemy, and change your guard twice (ex: if you are looking top, switch to right/left then back to top) and charge a heavy, you can get the 60 dmg charged heavy and not be vulnerable to gb. The timing is a bit tight, but once you’ve done it once, its really easy to pull off. Like so more ppl can see!

[@markuscaesar670]

For Shugoki’s Guaranteed Hug on OOS punish 1: Throw the opponent forward 2: Immediately dodge forward 3: During the dodge, buffer a stance change (JUST ONE) 4: During the stance change, buffer a grab. The grab will get them on wake up, but ONLY IF YOU’RE AT POINT BLANK ANY FURTHER AWAY AND THEY CAN DODGE. The buffered stance change provides the 100ms delay you need to catch someone on wake up without them A: Being able to dodge it B: Bouncing you off with the wake up Armor It took me an hour and a half to perfect this, and even then, sometimes I hit GB before I’m pushing down, resulting in a failed GB

[@vanakis]

Good video, just as always! Somebody probably already said that, but you can get a *free GB* after top deflect as *Kensei* Forward dash heavy is laughably slow, and I learned in the hard way. Do no get too attached to it, it's a bad habit, that will cost you games. *DO NOT get too dodgeattack-happy* too. It will work on lower ranks, but as you progress, that habit will be your demise. Many players that I've met in matches do not know about the possibility to *dash-softfeint* an unblockable into a *GB,* which works quite well. Be unpredictable, do not use the same move out of 14 you have. In team modes do not swing left and right too much if the enemy is not focusing you. Your top attacks are a force to be reckoned with on their own. If enemy team is not too good I like to just stay on a point, where there are less teammeates, and just battle every wild enemy that appears. May your Nodachi be sharp and good luck.

[@freefishsticks5887]

My phone glitched when and turned the volume all the way up immediately and scared me when it seemed like marco yelled for honor

[@SomeRandomDude821]

Correction for nobushi: oos parry punish is a dash in the direction of the parry for a bleed light, then dash forward and top heavy. Also, the best way to clear minions is to lock on and spam dodge heavies. With body count, you can do this for ages and demolish waves like nothing.

[@Rodrianius]

Yesterday I encountered a Rep 60 Kensei with a Profile Rep of 64 in my Team, and a Rep 3 Kensei in the enemy team. It was such a joke to watch the Rep 60 get his Ass handed by everyone in the Match but especially the other Kensei

i know i’m very late, and i don’t know if nobody else knows this but if you manage to get a wall splat with nobushi, you can do a vortex with her kick and heavy attacks, since you’ll be constantly wall splatting them you’ll be (hopefully) granted a free side heavy followed by another kick and then another heavy attack and so on. (which can hopefully give you a free execution if you don’t run out of stamina by the time you can get the final hit on the opponent.)

[@Modernshinobi12]

As an orochi main here’s a few tips: don’t be afraid to top heavy twice, most people don’t expect it. Make sure to deflect the first move in a chain and go for a charge deflect, it works well against moves like wardens dashing heavy. If your fighting against a turtle try fainting your dashing strikes, dodge back use your running heavy cancel it and go into another which might work once or twice but if you feel their going to dodge attack or parry it feint it into your back dodge strike which is jumping back and pressing a light but be warned it’s considered a light and can be predictable if you do it consistently. Just know that orochi is tough to use in this meta, even with spamming lights a good player can shut down most of orochi’s abilities but I know once you get past the light spam phase you’ll open your eyes to the true potential of orochi. Never get discouraged, no matter who you fight no matter who you can’t beat keep at it even go defensive. While we are Assassin we are a counter fighter at heart wait for them to make a mistake and show that bitch the most honourable death he’s ever seen. I’ll see you bois out there.

Also, I learned this from Alernakin's videos, one of the best ways to clear B (or C, because shard has to be s p e c i a l) is to lock and spam Sidewinder Form (dodge heavy), because you cancel the recovery with another Sidewinder. With body count, the health and stamina you restore lets you just do this all day amd come out of it with maybe 2 damage chipped off.
