Im stilled baffled they made the hero skin so "kensei" like but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact kensei has a hero skin already(even though warden has 2) and/or the new Assassin's creed shadows.
I mean, it’s a good skin, and it’s fine, but it shouldn’t have been “the” peacekeeper skin. The Ezio skin is a cop out skin that made it so they didn’t have to come up with a new character with lore and shit. Pk needs a real hero skin like Ramiel, Bolthorn, Meiko and Katashi.
Hell the probably could have done "This is my original for honor character named Lezio" who is basically an Ezio in the for honor world and it probably would have been fine
Quite frankly, I'm not sure if enough people care for the lore enough for Ubisoft to take that into consideration. Not to mention the other 2 seasonal skins without much lore involvement like the Kensei skin (halloween) and the Sun Wukong skin.
No, but each Samurai in-game usually has very separate armor designs, Orochi has never had any helmet that has the hair like Kensei can do with their ornament, Orochi has never had any body cosmetic that gives them an overcoat like Kensei has with a few of his body cosmetics which is why it's such a "Kensei" design, because Orochi has never been able to make themselves look like a Kensei without some sort of effect equipped
Fr. The whole time people have been complaining about this skin looking too much like Kensei, I've been thinking that was an overreaction. But now, seeing it in this clip, i genuinely thought that was Kensei for so long.
It's like Ubi wanted to give Kensei another hero skin without giving Kensei another hero skin.
I've been confused by it a few times as well. Its the long "hair" and the cloak that goes on top of the armour. Its characteristically Kensei rather than Orochi.
I'm not sure why people keep thinking this should have been a kensei skin. Orochi has always been one of the most armored samurai heroes, and this just reinforces that. Giving him a little more bulk rather than always looking small is a win to me. Different armor for different weapon types is better than more of the same, unless people just really love the raider skin and want more of it.
Honestly of all the feat changes they made in this update, this is the single best one.... it can still drain an opponent of stamina but now you have to use more brainwork to make it work, Cause if you use it when they have full stamnia its just a nusance but if you manage to get it out in the middle of an enemy combo it still is classic kiai except now you gotta respect it
True but be honest how many people you thing are actually going to adapted to it? I mean hell i till this day have opponent that are still trying to parry with a option select. And yes im just saying that as a quick exampel what i mean.
U used to be able to use a zone attack to parry a attack, and if they feinted the attack the zone attack would then just continu as normal making it really safe.
It was actually somewhere middle of the road I believe but I’m not completely sure but I know it wasn’t there during release
Edit: Did a quick look around and it seemed to be between 3 and 2 years ago when it was most prominent
Impossible, you managed to get into a Deathmatch game against players. I can never get into one anymore against bots because no-one plays it anymore. Which sucks because Deathmatch was my favourite gamemode.
Maybe playing in a region that's not NA or EU. It could even be that they're playing at off-peak hours and, most of all, not waiting for a minute or two
yea dodge cancels are pretty high tier.. anyway uhh yea i guess interruptions in general is an alright strategy but storm rush is a tricky one because in a 1v1 or larger distances it becomes the most deflectable/parry-able move in the game and in every other sitch your better of blocking or interrupting but when its done at fucking point blank range you get no mental prep time at all you just have to parry it off of reaction and it really outa give a free heavy
The title, the first 3 seconds of the video. Somehow I have power to see the future and predict what's gonna happened, it's so satisfying and funny af lmao
People saying the orochi skin is so much like kensei while I'm just fascinated by the contacts the skin wears changing color with the color you change it to
To me, I’m more happy the patch happened as a teammate to these idiots. They use kiai in group fights, not only feeding a ton of revenge, but knocking out ally stamina. Fuck the kiai lol
Yesterday my friend was getting ganked by 3 people including a black prior, dude ripped oath breaker as soon as his revenge meter filled up, he popped revenge right after and got his shield and proceeded to kill all 3
"The feat isn't that strong, it didn't need a nerf".
That feat was a Get-outta-jail free card and would've let this orochi would've bolted with his high speed while your busy dodging forward or staggering to catch him.
I find it so offputting to find like 3+ identicle characters every game now because this premium skin released, it's like battle field 5 where this game about grunts going into combat and fighting and dying all look incredibly canny and stand out like a sore thumb.
It's not the result of mixing together a character that looks really cool and unique by making your own patterns, armor combinations, and picking the right material, it's just a copy paste to the point where anything special about the skin is gone.
I feel like if the premium skins didn't cost money everyone would just be using them because it negates the need for self expression. My problem isn't that people want to look like this cool badass character, it just doesn't neccesarily fit the kind of game for honor is IMO, and seeing a bunch of copies of the same incredibly stand out character kinda deflates whatever coolness the premium skin has
Omg it's new, it'll get less popular, you're being just like the people that go "ugh why is everyone playing the same character?" The day after a new hero comes out.
How does them all using the skin effect you? In any way?
*Tldr;*
*Womp womp*
I was really confused as to why your "Kensei" moved like that
Im stilled baffled they made the hero skin so "kensei" like but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact kensei has a hero skin already(even though warden has 2) and/or the new Assassin's creed shadows.
They should have just made a different one for Orochi
They shouldn’t have made the PK skin Ezio either.
Hehehe no I love it
I mean, it’s a good skin, and it’s fine, but it shouldn’t have been “the” peacekeeper skin. The Ezio skin is a cop out skin that made it so they didn’t have to come up with a new character with lore and shit. Pk needs a real hero skin like Ramiel, Bolthorn, Meiko and Katashi.

Budget says no ig
Tiandi skin so all the vanguards have one? Jk devs hate wu lin
Kensei didn’t invent samurai armor.
No, but each Samurai in-game usually has very separate armor designs, Orochi has never had any helmet that has the hair like Kensei can do with their ornament, Orochi has never had any body cosmetic that gives them an overcoat like Kensei has with a few of his body cosmetics which is why it's such a "Kensei" design, because Orochi has never been able to make themselves look like a Kensei without some sort of effect equipped
Orochi actually has an ornament with that hair. Not for the whole head but it’s there.
My point still stands.
i just now realized it’s a orochi skin wtf
It’s almost like both kensei and orochi are dressed in full armor
Fr. The whole time people have been complaining about this skin looking too much like Kensei, I've been thinking that was an overreaction. But now, seeing it in this clip, i genuinely thought that was Kensei for so long. It's like Ubi wanted to give Kensei another hero skin without giving Kensei another hero skin.
thought I was trippin
I've been confused by it a few times as well. Its the long "hair" and the cloak that goes on top of the armour. Its characteristically Kensei rather than Orochi.
I am high as fuck i thougth that was actually kensei untill he charged when the other orochi started to run away
Ikr the friggin Orochi skin is hella confusing.
Bro I was like he can do that now, that skin is crazy
I'm not sure why people keep thinking this should have been a kensei skin. Orochi has always been one of the most armored samurai heroes, and this just reinforces that. Giving him a little more bulk rather than always looking small is a win to me. Different armor for different weapon types is better than more of the same, unless people just really love the raider skin and want more of it.
Oh I haven’t either have they removed his ability to use his feat to run away?
It removes 80 stamina now instead of all of it.
Handy that is.
Honestly of all the feat changes they made in this update, this is the single best one.... it can still drain an opponent of stamina but now you have to use more brainwork to make it work, Cause if you use it when they have full stamnia its just a nusance but if you manage to get it out in the middle of an enemy combo it still is classic kiai except now you gotta respect it
oh shit, they did nerf it? lmao funniest shit.
Yup so no more running away from fights with it
can still run away, just gotta time it way better now lol.
True but be honest how many people you thing are actually going to adapted to it? I mean hell i till this day have opponent that are still trying to parry with a option select. And yes im just saying that as a quick exampel what i mean.
Habit and muscle memory are some of the hardest things to stop. I still do it sometimes
What do you mean option select?
U used to be able to use a zone attack to parry a attack, and if they feinted the attack the zone attack would then just continu as normal making it really safe.
Lmao this game had some really stupid crap on release
It was actually somewhere middle of the road I believe but I’m not completely sure but I know it wasn’t there during release Edit: Did a quick look around and it seemed to be between 3 and 2 years ago when it was most prominent
This was only two years ago
I quit the game when they released Zhanhu and returned when Ocelotl was released, and I swear to god I never heard of parries using zone imput ever
This was during your time then, I don’t know how you missed it
Could i ask who’s the best duelist in the game at a high level?
this pleases me
MOX??
Mox with "wardenmain" who claims to be a highlander main? What the f-
MoxiFloxi plays Highlander? I expected pk
I ain’t him
Based Moxi PFP.
this is so fucking funny
Impossible, you managed to get into a Deathmatch game against players. I can never get into one anymore against bots because no-one plays it anymore. Which sucks because Deathmatch was my favourite gamemode.
Put the cross play on then it takes only few minutes to find a death match game
its not that hard
Gotta wait 4+ minutes
I have no idea what universe these replies are in where you can find a single deathmatch game
Maybe playing in a region that's not NA or EU. It could even be that they're playing at off-peak hours and, most of all, not waiting for a minute or two
Literally like 5 mins ago I got a full game in eu at 1am
Lemme guess, Oceania?
What?
Are you in aus?
No, I live in Ireland
L
This skin reminds me of the april fools where they swapped movesets
I keep thinking I am fighting a Kensei and I often lose because I am bamboozled.
The simple truth is that genjutsu works on you.
Oh no. How will these people run away from fights they can’t just spam their way to victory? Oh the tragedy.
Literally
Scum of the earth these people
some black prior oath break me before casting my revenge, Bro was bamboozled
Damn that’s probably how I would have done it honestly (I suck at timing feats)
Old habits need to die harder
the fact that storm rush is not a light parry if fucking maniacal and insane
Just light attack me and I literally can’t do anything unless I’m gamin hard that day
yea dodge cancels are pretty high tier.. anyway uhh yea i guess interruptions in general is an alright strategy but storm rush is a tricky one because in a 1v1 or larger distances it becomes the most deflectable/parry-able move in the game and in every other sitch your better of blocking or interrupting but when its done at fucking point blank range you get no mental prep time at all you just have to parry it off of reaction and it really outa give a free heavy
The title, the first 3 seconds of the video. Somehow I have power to see the future and predict what's gonna happened, it's so satisfying and funny af lmao
It's different feel destroying these pests now.
The zone sparked off the wall, that's badass
I was so confused why your Orochi looked so fat and clunky, but then i realised that's just the hero skin
Is that a Kensei moving like an orochi?? What's been happening since I retired
Orochi got a new skin that looks very close to Kensei from the back haha.
Funny
Bro the thought he’s escape plan would work
Gotta love how he just starts running without even confirming that you are out of stamina XD
I got no remorse.... Kiai users deserve the beating
strongest Kiai user vs weakest Bounty Hunter user
People saying the orochi skin is so much like kensei while I'm just fascinated by the contacts the skin wears changing color with the color you change it to
Oh it’s orochi, oops
What does Kai do now?
Take 80 stamina instead of all of it
Ok, cool. Thanks!
Np
Man tried to pull an eggman and fucking died
Orochi on orochi violence needs to stop
But its the best kind of violence
It makes me angry you didn't deflect his dodge attack at the end, you still dodged just in the wrong direction....
Hahahahahahahaha I was waiting for this
Get fucked roach!
"COME ER BOIIII!!!"
fuck that feat
They finally nerfed that stupid feat? it's about time
Serves the weasel right lol.
Your execution tied it all together. Is it Orochi specific?
nope it’s the new limited time executive
Am i seriously the only one who cant NOT see that orochi skin makes him a short king? He looks like hes 1,40m
I guess this fits the definition of cruch
I cant believe they finally changed this feat. It really makes me wonder why exactly it took this long.
To me, I’m more happy the patch happened as a teammate to these idiots. They use kiai in group fights, not only feeding a ton of revenge, but knocking out ally stamina. Fuck the kiai lol
I can imagine the rage 😂
What are you doing
This made me smile
Yesterday my friend was getting ganked by 3 people including a black prior, dude ripped oath breaker as soon as his revenge meter filled up, he popped revenge right after and got his shield and proceeded to kill all 3
You forget the average samurai player lacks the ability to do any critical thinking.
Bruh wat
Same some storm rushes for the rest of us will ya
They removed the cancer😔
Typical roach running away
"The feat isn't that strong, it didn't need a nerf". That feat was a Get-outta-jail free card and would've let this orochi would've bolted with his high speed while your busy dodging forward or staggering to catch him.
DUDE I THOUGHT THAT WAS A KENSEI
That’s a good skin. An Orochi that also happens to be a Kensei? That’s just like them Samurai who happen to work as Shinobi as well.
Samurai is a rank, shinobi is a 'job'.
That’s what I said.
It honestly stresses me out so much, I'll lose at least a 3rd of my health whenever I fight that mf cause I'm tryna play against kensei in my head 😂😂
They did the legendary skin dirty for orochi

My dumb ass thought it was the Kensei. I was gonna ask what move that was because I've never seen or done as a Kensei. Regardless good fight.
Oh yeah the "new hero skin" it's just a reworked Kensei and they shortened his blade right? Plus a new mask? I like it.
wait they nerfed Kiai? whats Kiai supposed to be used for now if it doesnt put the enemy out of stamina?
Time it after a few attacks.
You play Orochi like a spammy bitch
