xefex thought i recognized your name haha... played you online not too long ago in ranked ditto match. close match

just got the game after playing it for about 2 months at arcade. first time i really get to experiment with his throw-super combo so for all i know you all know about these... sorry! i just didn't really want to search through 26 pages :P but then again, i doubt you guys would consider these real combos since you can tech the throw(s)... throw > 236236C > 8 > air throw > 2A > 2C also i didn't really notice it in here... but 5C > 9 > 6B > 9 > air throw > (against wall: 2A > 2B > 2C) or (not against wall: 2A > 2C > 2B)

originally i used jin because he was fast and looking like he dealt hefty damage at a quick pace. as i started to play more i tried arakune, and found that his playstyle is incredibly unique and dynamic. thus i started playing him.

crossing over the dive works wonders on the ice car in my usage. using j.6a/b/c x n into j.2a/b/c is honestly one of arakune's least used but most effective mix-ups, especially against jin. maybe not on nu... but on jin, no doubt. and if you get him cursed, stay far back and j.6d while sending out a/b/c bugs, it's really effective. 2d IMO has too much lag as he can hit you pretty quickly with one of his ice projectiles. and keep a bell bug out, it's pretty useful

thanks good advice! i'll definitely be better prepared the next time i face that hakumen

hey uh... sorry to kind-of interrupt the discussion, there isn't really an arakune vs hakumen thread on the arakune boards. here's the situation: I've only fought one hakumen player at the arcade I go to and he's definitely the best player there. I have such a hard time against him, but I've recently been doing better against him by rushing close up at the beginning of the match rather than sending a cloud out and hoping for curse at the start. the thing is, when I do get to the point when I need to send out a cloud, hakumen easily 2Cs it and I really don't know how to punish it. Should I j.6D? I don't think I can attack physically without risking getting hit by it since it doesn't have much delay afterwards... then again I've only actually fought a hakumen 2 or 3 times so I don't have much experience with him. sorry to bother you hakumen players, I respect your patience with your character.
