With Orochimaru it is similar to Kakashi. Kakashi was named "copy ninja" and was famous for mastering over 100 techniques. And how many of them he used? Around 10 maybe? Both just got too little fighting time, especially in Shippuuden (Orochimaru, after unsealing his arms, had no real chance to fight anyone as first he stopped to help Five Kages, and when he got to the battlefield, Madara was already in OP mode and unleashed IT soon after)
