Mumm-Ra

Could someone translate this? Its from the Arakune section of this blog. Severin made a translation but he's not sure about it.

New information from here, under "Weak conversion point" (弱化点), so... nerfs, I guess: I can't make head or tail of it, something about jC and the "bird". EDIT: Pseudo-translation from Severin: If you see a mistake in the translation do all of us a favor and point it out. EDIT: Translation from Eirei:

Arakune's D bug seems to deal less damage now too.

CS_Bang_and_Litchi.jpg EDIT: Got some info from here, under Arakune's "drive" (ドライブ) section: Looks like D bug is faster but deals less damage.

Same old, same old.

Banning stages? what's next, banning alt. colors? Although I don't care either way, so a soft ban its alright, I guess.

I'm sure that was farranpoison's point. "Tager can block shit like no other" since he can block more shit before getting wrecked. This is simple enough, try to keep up please.

Psst, Tager has more primers than anyone else.

5A>6B>j.6D is the stapple one, near the corner it nets you 100% curse. If you have enough time/balls you can go for 2C FC for 100% curse anywhere on the screen.

100% agreed.

If he's doing 360 through your blockstrings it means that you're at fault. Learn to be less predictable, or do safer blockstrings, ending your blockstrings with GH is basically asking for him to 360 your ass.

Haha, yeah. Praying for j.D to trade to be able to do ANYTHING afterwards. Good times.

Its terrible. Some say its better since Lambda isn't as good as CT Nu, but Arakune's nerfs seem to compensate for this, it could be the same as before, or even worse now, since Lambda's Drive moves are still Arakune's antithesis and now you have to build your curse meter unlike before were you only needed one hit. I'd say its 6.5-3.5 or even 7-3 in Lambda's favour.

No Valkenhayn?

ASW should implement special corner proration in BBCS2, that would fix Litchi's bullshit once and for all.

You can combo Yukikaze into Shippu with 100 heat for 6k or something IIRC. I mean since you posted the Calamity Sword FC into RC thing I felt like pointing this out. Or you can do it in Mugen I guess.

Thats not Devoured by Darkness. But seriously, I don't know if Hazama's command grab is the best, but Bang's is up there with it. Specially if you have 50 heat.

I see, I didn't thought about it that way, too many translations to a single comment. What to do?

Thanks a lot, Zong. I'll add this to the OP. アラクネの火力は言うほど落ちてないっす 微妙な感じ D虫上りとか相変わらずだし 虫 means insect Something changed about the D bug? EDIT: Rough translation from Severin: Arakune's power didn't seem to go down, or if it did, it was subtle. D bug's rising was as before

You sure? The "JC下に薄く" part basically says that JC was weakened. And I mean, what's the max damage you get from 6A starter? 7k?

Thanks Zong. I get what you mean, the text must be saying something like "6A>jC reset 6300 damage". Wich would mean that they cut Arakune's damage in half.

I think that 6A as a starter into loops deals about the same damage right now, so that wouldn't make much sense.

The last line (or whatever you call it) says something about jC being weakened, although the combo (?) listed there starts with 6A. I think its talking about the 6A>jC crossup

Could someone translate this for me? アラクネ火力減(6A＞JCから6300程度)、JC下に薄く I guess it says something along the lines of Arakune's j.C being weakened.

アラクネ火力減(6A＞JCから6300程度)、JC下に薄く Seems like jC was weakened. If my assumption is correct this would mean that they cut Arakune's max damage in half. Profound sadness
