Assuming we're in the corner, if you wanted to get out you could just super jump>sticky kitty> jump away. Assuming you're cursed and can't jump up to do that, what options are you left with? Counter assault gets you out, but then you have to deal with bugs or Arakune himself. Super guarantees a hit if he's pressuring you and is almost always unexpected, whereas counter assault is basically just getting out for a brief period of time. Also, what you're doing is speaking speculatively, players will rarely anticipate a wakeup super unless you've done it before.
