Player was complete balls, and so was the Makoto player.
The Arakune player dropped loops (no idea how), dropped a 100 curse combo in the beginning of the second round of the vid you linked, didn't do any kind of setup besides the 214C one in corner (wich is super easy and doesn't really net you much damage, it did kill the makoto though, so good job?), didn't throw a B bug during the 2C to make it safe (I have no idea why the Makoto player didn't punish it), Didn't throw more than a couple of clouds in the two matches I watched, and I'm pretty sure that he was trying to do wheel instead of cloud here, almost non-existant use of IAD, USED F OF G MORE THAN ONCE, amongst other things.
So yeah he landed some air throw combos wich are easy to do, he did try to go for a standing 100% curse off 6A though, so props to that.
