BatousaiJ Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 You guys weren't kidding about arakune players mashing 5A. I just played this guy penuma and he was mashing that shit like his life depended on it. Also, he was mashing 2A. While I was in the air. Must be a secret anti air that I don't know about. Anyway, I couldn't stay for long since I've got stuff to do but GGs to penuma and lovebird. Shoutouts to lag.
Zeromus_X Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I don't like fighting Arakune. Everyone says that match-up is free for me and then I feel pressured to not screw up but then I do and lose in the most amazing ways possible. ^^

Shoutouts to lag. Them were fun matches. I got a bit annoyed you were mashing tsubakis antiair and i'd see it activate 3x when I was on the other side of the screen. Point was not made I guess. Usually I'd just f of g aa mash but tsubaki crouches. Anyway ggs

It's like when I mash TK crescent cancel full screen against a spark bolt-less Tager.

Anyway ggs You gotta delay j.d bug me if I'm trying to anti air you too much, you weren't doing that at all so I really had no reason not to anti air you every time you were in the air. At that point I can see that coming and just air grab you but at least at that point it becomes a proper guessing game which would be more interesting. I tend to abuse stuff that's in my favor until you give me a reason not to(i.e. unblockables/antiairs etc) and that's just the way I like to play fighting games in general. I don't see a lot of arakunes out and about these days so I'll play ya again sometime.
Godlike Assault Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I don't see a lot of arakunes out and about these days Can we switch places?
BatousaiJ Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Can we switch places? No, I don't want to main Ragna. I'm totally allergic to winning for free.
pneuma Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 J.d too risky since ct. I can deal with aa, usually not a problem if I keep my trajectory speed varied. I just got to a point where I thought things were getting lolzy. I hope you at least appreciated my blocking your dp and mashing 2a underneath you. For any arakune players, I've found the legit best crouching aa bait is delay jump c fc 214c 5d dive loop. Trolly or not I enjoyed fighting you
Godlike Assault Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 No shit man,i play tager. But i'll just send you all my arakunes,and give me all the scrubs you have. I'm allergic to bugs.

Just be a bitch and play hard to get and you will usually beat most people.
BatousaiJ Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 It's all tactical. You're also not from Europe... are you? MINDFREAK. Also, you guys are complaining about match ups but honestly, I'll play anyone with that I have a good connection with no matter what character or skill level. I only play semi-seriously against people I feel that are noticeably better than me and just do whatever the hell I want all the other times. It's the way I have the most fun =d. Just do it if you know they will AA. Just be a bitch and play hard to get and you will usually beat most people. No man, Arakune is a rush down character and must stay grounded at all time and stay in front of the enemy at all times to be successful.
pneuma Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I don't think he's either. All mind games till curse then lockdown and crossup. I've been pretty salty with myself since I switched to stick. Yomi is no good when my j4s are accidental 1s and I get random dives. Aa bait is typically empty jump barrier back away. Then you can get a good read on when and if it's coming. I'm so helpless att because I can't punish stupid because of lack of confidence. Jc fcs are so so hype. and I miss them.
Herbal Grey Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) arakune is immune to anti-airs. when done properly, j.b iad j.b beats all aa's, jump a-teleport => 5a beats aa's midscreen, and if you can't do rising j.b (like against litchi) then bait aa with jump forward => jump backward => iad j.b ask anyone that i play about trying to aa arakune btw, most arakunes have terrible curse pressure cuz they mash all the bugs in the same place which is freakin retarded and y'all should be exploitin that shit. not to mention their actual pressure is complete ass bc they don't know how to use instant overheads and since they are usually using 6a or 6c, it's all blockable. what usually happens is i don't even need to mix ppl up cuz they're too busy running into bugs like dummies.

I actually just hit Arakune, that is all I can really do. Tager Backdash will blow up arakune's j.B at certain instances but those are very few.
Star-Demon Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Yo I got woken up because someone's getting served at 8AM and won't answer the door. Practice and or games?
AdmiralKorngold Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 When ara instant overheads and b iad b is breaking news, it's really obvious that there aren't many ara players. I kinda want to pick this game back up, but I'd have to relearn matchups and remember how long to block against different characters. Is it easy to find matches now or does it take effort and timing?
gli Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Morning: dead Mostly JP players on. Not much luck finding randoms. Afternoon: dead Maybe a few US rooms on. Ranked is still sparse. Evening: half-dead As populated as it gets.
