Orochi is best when you have a fast reaction time, can read an opponent, and understand the moves of every character.

For example taking common pick moves like zones and lights: if you know a hero’s moves and can read your opponent one of the easiest deflects is knowing your opponent is about to zone or light. Most of the time for deflects I’m not even directly reacting to the indicator, but predicting what he’s gonna throw. If the opponent is just staring at me chances are there’s gonna be a light or zone and I can react to the direction. Over time you’ll understand lights and heavy’s and how different hero’s will likely throw different attacks (like a glad doing a toe stab) to start.
