:wtf:
1)Thing is, he is VERY broken.
Can’t recurse . Has to wait a full 3 seconds after the foe has been cursed to summon cloud again. Lower damage out put by 5-8%. Problem fixed.
Please stop.
He doesn’t need to be nerfed, I want some buffs, like shangstung style turning in to other chars, namely v-13
Sup man, I actually have been able to pull it off abit online.
All I do is summon the cloud that gets on arakune. Then I dash to them they back up into the corner then you try to set it up.
Also, are you using Arakune? As a main I mean?

er… nope. complaining about ara being too good in this game is like complaining about ken in 3rd strike… when its pretty obvious that ara and ken have 2 characters above them that easily eclipse them.
i mean if aras broken, then what do you think of nu? ST Akuma?
no again, as far as not being able to recurse… i totally agree… HOWEVER it should be realized that ara is playing WITHOUT HIS DRIVE when he doesnt have someone cursed, which is a huge disadvantage. so if he cant recurse he needs a SLIGHT buff to his drive which would be it having more meter ie. 3000 instead of 2000, plus only certain moves should knock him out of curse… i think that hes fine the way he is. its just that other characters need to be brought up to his level… like bang being able to place bumpers on the ground etc. etc.
and even though not being able to recurse does put ara on the right track, there are different ways to nerf him such as, making a and b bugs not unblockable when the opponents airborn… it’s funny, my friends were all getting owned when i got drive plus close proximity plus frame advantage 'cause they always tried to jump away or spam some buttons… but i told them that they could make things ALOT harder on me if they just sat there and blocked and watched for the breakout points instead of jumping backwards and getting hit by a bug thats unblockable that i can combo off of.
that little bit of info has made it much harder on me to get free damage when i get them cursed.
also, ara’s damage is FINE. in fact he doesnt even hit hard if you take his 6c loop out of consideration… but, you didnt say his 6c loop… you said that HE needed a damage nerf to all of his moves…
should i put up a trail of laughing faces now because of how dumb your statement was?
plain and simply put ara is an all around character, he has no huge weaknesses, BUT, he does have many small weaknesses that keep his ass in check.
-dime
LOL , wow… Are we even playing the same game?
Ara is in no way broken… cough V-13
Anyways , Ive noticed something against hakumen. Seems like his sword has the perfect range to hit ara when hes doing clouds… or maybe its just me…
Sigh*
Like Seriously? I’ve seen Arakune players PERFECT V-13’s and RAPE Rachel’s, so don’t tell me they’re easily over him. And I think Nu is almost just as dumb. Why else are they both in S tier?
Of course you think Arakune is fine the way he is, he’s your main.Yeah, he might need more curse meter, in exchange for not being able to recurse, and lock you the fuck down until your Barrier is broken. And no, only having certain moves knocking you out of curse is silly to even think about.
That really isn’t a big deal.
I can say the same thing about you. His damage is far from fine. Fact is, his throw combos can take out 70% of ya life, no meter. Shit, matter a fact, that combo gives you 60% of meter. So my comment is FAR from being dumb.
You want to see the vids of said combos? Not happening.
You’re describing Jin, not Arakune.
Of course he isn’t, I mean, why else would he be in S tier?
What game are you ppl playing.
Top 3 are too strong, end of discussion.
I wouldn’t mind them toning him down a little (hell, all the top three) as long as it’s for the good of the game as a whole, and they don’t make him shit tier.
Mind you, I don’t know how they’d do that, exactly, but I trust ArcSys.
arakune is bullshit frosting on a cake made out of horseshit. unblockables, guaranteed guard break strings, high damage, high mobility, forced barrier drain strings (1/3 of your fucking bar!) mixups you cant react to.
i cant believe people believe arakune is balanced, but this is srk.
Yeah he is not balance, but he is not overpowered either. He only needs his Super to have 10 or 20% less damage. And make all his bugs blockable, that would make him more fair that what he is, well IMO.
LOL… Cry much? You talk as if Arakune is imposible to beat.
Although I agree with you for the most part, don’t use that reason. If I spend enough time scouring YouTube, I could probably find a video of Bang, Tager, or Hakumen perfecting v-13 or Arakune.
Actually, with that quote of his I think of Rachel. Really damn solid, no real weaknesses except short limbs, and it’s tough to pinpoint one thing that is really broken about her. But, I guess you could call that Jin as well.
This is Arc Sys, and with their history with GGXX, I wouldn’t expect sweeping changes. They do a good job of trying to balance the game instead of leaving it unbalanced and simply reversing the order of the characters which is what a lot of people ask for when they want balance patches. I don’t know what I would do exactly to Arakune to make him more fair and leave him fun. I hope recursing stays in, but I except the bugs themselves will cost more meter and the curse meter will be shorter. The cloud that stays on Arakune should probably be blockable as well. One big thing I would personally change is the damage on 6C-C-2C. With Arakune’s design, it’s going to be a chore to insure he doesn’t have any loops. So the best thing Arc can do is make sure they don’t do 60% life.
You know, the only thing I would really change about Arakune, something that, imo, would make him a lot more balanced?
Blocking a curse means you don’t get cursed.
That would, by far and away, be the easiest thing to change that would make him more balanced. I have no problem with him instantly guard breaking my Tao as soon as she gets cursed (it sucks, but hey, I can hurt him a lot if I hit hit him too). But when I block the damn cloud correctly, why do I get penalized by getting locked into a block string and guard broken?
Also the unblockable probably needs to go, I don’t think anyone else has an unblockable that I’ve seen.
Anyway I’m just venting, I really, really hate Tao vs Squiggly, such a hard matchup.

This vid is a good example as to why many people think he’s OP.
Not sure how many of those combos are guaranteed or practical, but they’re impressive none-the-less.
yes apparently high level players such as jiyuna alzarath and myself are totally wrong! my bad random guy!
The combos in this video are awsome but some look like they can only work on Tager
No, that’s a good reason. I can say that because, I know I could find a lot more Arakune’s Raping Nu and Rachel then any of those characters. To be honest however, I’ve seen a Tager player ONCE beat the bloody hell out of a Rachel player.
Being able to recurse MAY be ok, if they make you spend 25% of your meter.
An easy way to nerf Arakune would to just make bugs drain more of the curse meter than they do right now. Personally I’m against any change whatsoever (nine months in the arcade and one month on consoles is too darn early for a game like this to change!), but I would suspect a minor tweak like that. Hopefully.
