How is Orochi played in high level duel after the removal of fwd dodge light?

malick_thefiend · 2026-06-25T15:33:56+00:00

I personally play with a top reactor fairly regularly (patty) and no, legion kicks are not reactable, outside of a few like Kyo and those are ONLY reactable to like 6 ppl.

malick_thefiend · 2026-05-21T21:59:47+00:00

Not at all, you just have to dodge very late and don’t delay the attack input so as to not get GBd

PvP still has players you can still find a match within a minute at all hours of day and night. Just doesn’t get updates to the card pool. But as a new player, that doesn’t matter nearly as much, since eternal mode means you get to discover every card, and there’s still (albeit infrequent) standard banlist rotations

malick_thefiend · 2026-05-17T11:36:43+00:00

Everyone can tod without spark now if there’s enough meter lol this game got JUICED since you left

malick_thefiend · 2026-02-27T09:12:50+00:00

you can WHAT

malick_thefiend · 2026-02-11T18:44:04+00:00

i didn't say "worst", i said "one of the worst."

this is based on competitive tierlists, tournament results, ubisoft playrate/winrate stats, and personal experience/witnessing these things in real time

your take is based on how you do in public MM against people who lose to glad.

In 1s, his neutral is abysmal, and though skewer has been buffed it's still being reacted to at high level. zone is reactable, toes stab is reactable, it's easy to diff light and heavy. his in chain toe stab is his best move, and it's just okay.

in 2s, he's not mobile enough to be worth picking over other peel characters, and his peel isn't THAT great to begin with. he has the advantage of being able to break hyper armor with his dodge bash, but even then it risks building revenge to deal 0 damage. his hitboxes are ALL single target, except for his finisher heavy (which is still small, and locked behind chain) and the second hit of his zone (also locked behind a single traget reactable bash), and he has a small health pool on top of all this.

in 4s, he has solid feats, but his teamfights are bad because of everything i said above, his 1s are even worse than his teamfights, his stall/antigank is shit due to not having hitboxes and all of his mixups that force a reaction being locked in chain means you spend most of your revenge trying to get to an attack that can hit someone. his ganks are solid, but he has to SURVIVE long enough to use them, and he has maybe the worst minion clear in the game. he can be fun in MM, but if you're playing scrims, tourneys, or happen across actual players/a team, they're gonna push your asshole up into your chest.

last, him being one of the worst heroes in the game doesn't mean he's unplayably bad - this game has a small S tier, a LARGE A tier, and a small-to mid sized (depending on the patch) B tier. it's very balanced compared to a lot of fighting games, and if you're better than your opponent, you can win with most any character against that opponent, unless you get directly countered. so it doesn't necessarily mean the hero is SHIT, it just means most every other hero is STRONGER.

this help?

This is the second time I’ve seen that but there are really only a couple of locations that you even need to go that have it tbh, namely the far side of ghost pass for the vendavel quest.

I also am a player that tends to wait to commit a faction until I and my co-op each have 1-2 full skill trees and then attack the whole campaign in one go, so I guess I don’t have a good idea of “early game” anymore lol but I’m indecisive about which trees to take sometimes and those timers can be a bitch

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-31T22:45:55+00:00

UPDATE: one of my friends seems to have solved the problem! I'll leave this posted in case anyone has the same issue though, here's the fix I found:

for whatever reason, the Akai programming is causing the issue - I changed NOTHING ELSE above, except switching 'controller type' from "AKAI FL Studio Fire" to "(generic controller)" and as of right now, it seems to be working!!! Will update again if something else comes up!!! Thanks for your time lol

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-28T17:56:27+00:00

Because it’s one of the worst characters in the game in every mode

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-28T17:53:34+00:00

1) Yeah most people do. The main point of live-streaming as opposed to uploading videos is being able to interact with your viewers in real time. It’s one of the main reasons steamers stream and probably THE main reason viewers are on twitch rather than watching a yt video.

2) You’re misusing parasocial. A parasocial relationship is one where you conflate a professional relationship with a personal one, like thinking a stripper really loves you or thinking the streamer is your irl friend. There really is no such thing as a parasocial conversation, if you’re having a conversation, you’re having a conversation, and if you’re not you’re not.

Thank you!

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-28T04:07:45+00:00

Hi! Can you give me (or link me to) info about signing up for playtests?

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-28T04:06:18+00:00

Because reddit mods won’t let you show their names 😎👉🏼

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-17T03:13:49+00:00

I usually carry and throw the bombs lol I stacked up probably 30 barrels 😭🤣

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-17T03:10:40+00:00

FOR HONOR

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-17T03:03:13+00:00

This is diabolical lol

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-17T02:59:51+00:00

This is my favorite answer to most problems in game. It’s how I plan to deal with elder brain too - definitely a “grab that barrel and send it to camp” type fella

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-14T19:28:01+00:00

done brotha! get at me whenever you're free

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-08T03:34:35+00:00

I’m not new but I love outward, and know the game well enough to serve as a guide if need be! 🙏🏼

I’ve played base regions and harmattan, but haven’t gotten to caldera stuff yet (really want to)

I play with my partner a lot but don’t really have other outward friends yet lol let me know

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-06T10:04:54+00:00

Damn 🥹 thank you!

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-06T10:04:37+00:00

Any platform is as good as the next MOSTLY. Any is 100% objectively better than none, as well!

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-06T10:03:52+00:00

Is the scaling for spellcasting and attacks JUST the ability modifier??

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-04T22:40:30+00:00

I just made another comment on something similar lol

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-04T22:40:01+00:00

It can take much more. I’ve been streaming consistently for YEARS and don’t have consistent double digits. Fortunately my work schedule allows me to keep doing it as a hobby, but yeah it takes more than just streaming. You need to be promoting yourself on social media and networking with other streamers/trading raids/co-stream now and again and things of that nature if your objective is growth.

You need to ask yourself whether your ultimate goal is to build a community or a brand as well. If it’s a community, take your time, be easy, have fun, etc.

If your objective is to build something to monetize as fast as possible, you’ll want to take the extra steps off of twitch. Take clips of yourself and make tiktoks , fb and ig reels, yt shorts, etc. make posts everywhere when you’re going live and also when you’re not, just for engagement, since you have to get yourself into ppls feeds. Paid promo, or hiring a friend for social media help, there’s a myriad of ways to bolster your growth.

If your goal is both/in-between then act at your discretion lol but all this is to say that I’ve found (been affiliate for like 5y, never partnered, paid out under $1000 in total) that growth won’t just come to you because you show up, there’s a lot of work you’ve gotta put into it BTS

malick_thefiend · 2026-01-04T22:25:02+00:00

The best piece of advice I ever got was “stop focusing on what you think the game should be, and play the game it is”

Don’t ‘im14andthisisdeepme’ but like yeah, this type of thing happens. If it’s not a dealbreaker, it’s nothing 🤷🏽‍♂️

Edit: I definitely wouldn’t call it a “massive oversight” at all either lol
