I picked up kof97 and am having trouble beating Orochi. I was hoping for tips from people here.

Easy. Don't jump around too much. Wait for him to do his special where he pauses and lightning strikes the ground. After the first one, he'll do another one. Immediately run and roll towards him. Then perform your favourite combo or throw him to death. Don't jump around too much.

Also, when he does his soul stealer DM where he turns blue and tries to draw you to him, push your joystick back away from him, then once you're free from his magnetism, jump and CD him.

easy,

always start with walking forward and throw him as soon as you get close to him as the round starts. always works! <IMG SRC="smilies/eek2.gif" border="0">

do not attack him urself becuz most of the time he wins. better strategy is to start countering his own moves like following:

If he start throwing his huge and fast fireballs
------------------------------------------------------
then immediately roll forward to avoid them and counter him with an attack as soon as u get close and recover from the roll.
Iori and Leona's DMs can get through under his fireball if performed at a certain distance.
one thing to remember here is that do not attempt to roll through his fireballs if he has a power stock because he usually follow it by his full screen DM which will cost u almost a whole team member

If he start perfroming the move in which an energy beam fires from the earth
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
he usually does this move in pattern and keep repeating it if u doesn't get close to him.
when he is continously doing this move then, run forward and immediately perform roll as he follows with another beam, then immediately perform any good DM or move when u recover from the roll. Orochi takes agaes to recover from this move and u will succesfully perform your (rush) DM on him even if u are half screen away.

If he performs his Full Screen arse DM
--------------------------------------
then u will have to block it, u can't counter or roll out of it. but as soon as the Dm is perform u can perform you own attack or DM becuz orochi also takes time to recover from this DM. u will even have enough time to perform a rush DM from full screen distance.

If he performs his Pulling DM
-----------------------------
he usually perform this DM when u get close to him. move or jump backward to avoid it first then, attack him with a jumping attack or even a DM like Athena's, which can be perform in air. Do not try to attack with DM like Iori's cuz his DM has most priority against any ground attack. You can also try a fireball or fireball DMs. and one more thing here that do not let him corner you cuz he usually perform this DM in corner where u can't escape it by moving backward or by rolling.

What if he starts walking slowly towards me?
--------------------------------------------
he usually do this to perform throw and its so sudden that most of the time u can't avoid it by trying to perform any move. to get away with immediately jump backward or forward with a kick. simple!

hope this will help u <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
