Help please. Im an arakune player, and i know not what to do in this matchup. Any tips you mu players would be willing to give? this matchup seems like hell for arakune.

Arakune's 5a, j.b , 2c (it's now safe on block at the right distance..... fortunately for us, It's no longer a FC) are still just as annoying as before and his new spiders prevent Mu from setting steins statically.

edit:

Also his j6.a, j.6b and j.6c is pretty much as fast as our j.c and rivals our range in the air because he moves forwards with it

So apparently if you block Arakune's 2C during the later active frames, it becomes neutral on block. Something to keep in mind if you block a YOLO 2C from across the screen, it's not always a guaranteed punish.
