[CS2] Arakune's Loketest Metamorphosis Discussion

[Stafy]

That is quite nice, more work for 100% is alright with me, though j4a ja isnt that hard with practice.

Is 6.8 with or without the supers?

So our blob is apparently not S, but SS tier upon week 1.

Personally, I'd like to know why.

[Mumm-Ra]

Can I get a source on that?

Most of Arakune's game can still be played in CS1, but perhaps a lot faster due to D bug. You can do Wheel --> 6C loop --> dive midscreen/near corner to 6.8k. And since j.B is down, more players have to use j.4aa which can lead to 100% on execution. So curse goes out faster. There also might be more unburstables since D bug is faster.

This is the first week, however. I can see him going to S tier in the longrun.

Well it is still day two, things might change a lot, I can't see Arakune up there for long.

I also read somewhere else that general consensus said that Hazama was a contender for high tier with his new zoning game, but in this list he's near bottom, who's the one lying?

EDIT:

First BBCS2 Arakune footage, guess who's the opponent this time?

If you guessed anything but Lambda, then you're wrong!

Since the matchup will always stay free for Lambda we don't get to see much, is Arakune's jump that slow? I don't see that much difference, also 2A>5A gatling's there, Bell Bug appears at mid-screen, and j.6D seems to be quite far now... will 6B>j.6D connect?

Same opponent, different Arakune? Well, thing is it's still Lambda

D bug first phase is super fast now, I don't know if thats more good than bad. Wheel loop doesn't work after third repetition? 4 reps = 4k damage, meter gain is still good. Is dash any faster? Seems like it, not sure.

I wouldn't take that Tier List too seriously. I strongly doubt Hazama is low tier, looking at his changes. I two things I thought made him great was Chains and Jayaku. Chains have been improved and Jayaku has been untouched. Plus, this new Arakune seems to be based around resets and the like. It's the sort of thing that would get people who are not used to them, and yet, worse against someone who knows what they're doing. Kinda like all resets really.

Still, this looks good. Thanks for the videos Mumm-Ra.

Completely wrong thread for this kind of discussion guys, this is for the loke tests, not the release. I'm (finally!) closing this thread.
