I remember trying to get my friends into fighting games, they looked at Arakune and straight up went "wtf is that" my response was literally "you don't wanna know, just leave it there, it's not here"
I swear man, arakune is one of those characters where you can be whooping their butt, and be like yeah there's no way they're coming back.......and then BOOM you got roaches and other exotic insects jumping you as your health bar gets deleted lol.
In CT, any thing that touched you cursed you. And it was permanent until you hit him or made him block. Only due to the fact that Rachel and Nu existed was he not top 1.
The best way to put it, Eternal Hangnail (the arakune) is one of the most known in the BBCF community for top arakune players, holding your own or even beating his ass is an achievement all on its own, he also has a scary amane that shouldnt be ignored
basically any time i see a one-touch curse combo initiate i burst it, i can not deal with what happens otherwise. i do play es though, who tends to be able to dominate him pretty well in neutral to keep him from getting a curse in the first place and doesn’t get much mileage out of her OD
This is some impeccable timing, Just yesterday I got into watching BlazBlue content (really wanna play someday) and watching top Arakune players go ham is just incredible! Gonna be fun watching you weather the storm of bugs
Arakune is like Jack-O, but always have all the level 3 house available and the servants are invincible. at least that's how I feel like when I fight him lol
Remember when Arc thought letting him curse you off of one bug was the wave? Everyday I wonder if they shouldn't have been bankrupted right then and there
Also on your point about Arakune stealing your burst all I gotta say is Chihiro thought it was safe to hang around No Face too and you saw how that went down
I feel confident saying that the only people that really "like" Arakune are the people who play him. Other than that he's justifiably pretty reviled for being a gigantic bundle of confusing, nondescript bullshit.
@@jwithextrajj Neah liking his design is totally understandable. He's super cool looking and his bizarre structure allows him to have all sorts of unique and wank hitboxes. It's more how it all comes together to play against a good Arakune that makes him such a miserable fucking experience.
Hearing the BlazBlue soundtrack again given me big smiles. What's your favorite track Kizzie, or ones that's really up there? I love awakening the Chaos II and Active Angel.
Sol Strive f.S is not a war crime. It's a criminal offense, yeah, sure. However, Arakune's existence just puts you into a Gutenberg Trial esque judgement just for playing.
Agreed this game is amazing! I’ve been a 3rd Strike/Gundam Versus/Tekken primarily but always dug BB and wanted to get into it (I owned CT on 360 but only played it very casually), I picked up BBCF recently and am dedicated on at least getting respectable at the game. I picked up Noel, anyways love the game and all your content as well. Miss the panda 🐼 stuff I can’t lie Sorry for the novel, take care!
Tbf arakune is so difficult to play that almost every arakune player could learn a different character and get better results w the same time investment
arakune's explosive mixups allowed blazblue to have a character with really weird and intresting neutral cause of his movement to not be a completely unusable joke character and that's why i think he's way cooler than most characters in this game and respect the arakune players. its the Mai and susan players i despise imagine coming to fucking blazblue of all games just to pick white bread and water without ice and the worst part is you're characters are still good when they are being uncreative as fuck.
so I have been wanting to buy blazblue for the character that looks like a cat, but I don't know how easy is it to get into this game, it looks fun but at the same time difficult
I like arakune both game play wise and lore wise unfair I haven't bosought Playstation plus so I can't play online when I am not playing arakune I play hazama or notao
@@tyronjasonhuff Mai. Also Es is pretty simple to learn too, she's almost like another shoto. I would say Makoto is easy to learn as well, though the charge mechanics to her drive may take some getting used to when it comes to her more advanced combos
But even worse because the curse skull has no cool down and he has TONS of way to inflict the curse again without waiting for his pre-existing curse period to run out.
You spell Testament wrong. Seriously, Arakune was created because they wanted to create a character around just one FREAKING move from Testament's skull special. If BB has balls, I double dare you to put AC+R Testament in any Blazblue game.
Arakune is probably my least favorite designed character in any fighting game. He's so annoying that winning doesn't even feel fun cuz winning is just "You beat him in neutral before he got curse" and whenever curse is active, there is 0 interaction. It's way too lopsided for both outcomes
You talk like getting curse is easy, to play him is easy to do shit with him is easy. In fact he's one of the most technical and hardest character to learn with very shitty normal
Tbh at a high level and with ample runbacks, his bugs are kinda easy to block. Fuzzy some, block others and be wary of side switches and extra buttons. My boy hangnail and I fight pretty often (Bullet v Arakune).
@@ONIGIRIKINGU I don’t care if he’s good or not, it’s not fun lol. I don’t think he’s broken, I think he’s poorly designed where matches are always stomps and it’s just a matter of if it’s Arakune getting stomped or not. If an infinite unblockable loop was hard, it still wouldn’t be fun, and getting good at the “hard” Arakune stuff is just a matter of time before you get it consistently.
I remember trying to get my friends into fighting games, they looked at Arakune and straight up went "wtf is that" my response was literally "you don't wanna know, just leave it there, it's not here"
The allure of warcrimes is everpresent.
Hey man I'm the Arakune player. Hella ggs, you're somehow scarier than I imagined and hope i get to play you again sometime (:
You did fuckin amazing man your confirms were clean as hell
“Lord forgive me I got hit by arakune 5A” - man who was not forgiven by the lord
God I love this character
Lmao hahahahahahahaha
For this statement, you have received:
The blazblue community’s undying hatred.
Do you accept?
>yes. >yes
@@HabitualThinker yeah I accept that
I swear man, arakune is one of those characters where you can be whooping their butt, and be like yeah there's no way they're coming back.......and then BOOM you got roaches and other exotic insects jumping you as your health bar gets deleted lol.
Ara pros are a_holes...no question.
Arakune is a literal FG character equivalent of a war crime, change my mind.
Just block the invisible guardcrush crossups 5head.
an aerial low...
C-Roa
That's why I love the character
If I remember correctly, in both Calamity Trigger and Chronophantasma Arakune was able to fill his cursed meter to the fullest in just about 1-2 hits.
In CT, any thing that touched you cursed you. And it was permanent until you hit him or made him block.
Only due to the fact that Rachel and Nu existed was he not top 1.
Remember when the bugs weren’t big….you couldn’t even see them
This arakune:
✅ Did not mash
✅ Makes the most off of every confirm he gets
✅ Great movement and neutral
Player is 🔥🔥🔥
bro this is ma boi hangnail, he is no shit one of the best arakune players there is
@@AwkwardArrirn good shit
Fighting Arakune in curse mode is like being in the pits of Hell, meanwhile Arakune is singing "Oh Happy Day".
Shoutout to my fellow Arakune players. Bring chaos to the world.
Hope you lose your car keys bro

Arakune is what happened to Zappa after he got drafted, experimented on captain America style, and deployed.
I got even worse for you. Arakune is the NERFED ver. of Testament.
basically any time i see a one-touch curse combo initiate i burst it, i can not deal with what happens otherwise. i do play es though, who tends to be able to dominate him pretty well in neutral to keep him from getting a curse in the first place and doesn’t get much mileage out of her OD
Arakune is fun to watch. Don’t know how you guys can see through all that craziness.
Glasses fam lmfao
We can't
Arakune is such a crackhead ass character
And I love him for it
Same sadly lmao
Arakune Overdrive is like a domain expansion. He can say gg at literally any point in the match.
Domain Expansion: All-Consuming Infinity Swarm
@@Ramsey276one More like vermin rush

No one:
Players fighting arakune: *gets him to a sliver of hp*
Arakune: *Jabs them once and its a counter*
Players fighting arakune: "Guess ill die"
I got mixed by that same side cross up of kizzie at 4:08
Arakune mains find their combos on Live leak because of how gruesome they are
Ice climbers players be like " this character is fair"
Being burst baited into curse is worse. With Sols 6S at least I can just say bs. Being baited and then cursed makes me feel the stupid
Bro they took all your money in the bank and wallet when they take the burst
@@Kizzie_Kay THEY SPEND IT IN FRONT OF YOU TOO
Arakune is one of those grappler-in-disguise characters
Lmfao in disguise
Arakune is like Jack-O, but always have all the level 3 house available and the servants are invincible.
at least that's how I feel like when I fight him lol
A good Arakune is the scariest thing ever.
Edit: I'd eat a Sol f.S every day over Arakune burst fails.
Clicked for the Arakune pain only to be hit with the CT character select nostalgia and all the pain just went.
6:08
The classic "MICRODAAASH" moment in BBCF
It looks really fun playing against a character that is visual puke and know more about their character than your own in order to fight against it.
It feels like a dark souls boss to be completely honest hahaha it is fun
Did you know he has an invincible teleport that has a startup that looks exactly like it's walking animation?
Arakune was my go to just for his creepy astral. And I love the little blob from satan
Remember when Arc thought letting him curse you off of one bug was the wave? Everyday I wonder if they shouldn't have been bankrupted right then and there
Also on your point about Arakune stealing your burst all I gotta say is Chihiro thought it was safe to hang around No Face too and you saw how that went down
Never forget Calamity Trigger Arakune, makes this version seem like a kitten. Then again, that's probably CT in general.
I feel confident saying that the only people that really "like" Arakune are the people who play him. Other than that he's justifiably pretty reviled for being a gigantic bundle of confusing, nondescript bullshit.
I just like him because I can't think of a single fighting game character that looks like him. Haven't played him much except in the story mode.
@@jwithextrajj Neah liking his design is totally understandable. He's super cool looking and his bizarre structure allows him to have all sorts of unique and wank hitboxes. It's more how it all comes together to play against a good Arakune that makes him such a miserable fucking experience.
1:41 Took me a second to realize those crazy sprites weren't added by the video editor

I like the editing
That phrase applies to half the blazblue cast XD
Best fighter.

What's your favorite track Kizzie, or ones that's really up there? I love awakening the Chaos II and Active Angel.
🔥🔥🔥❗️❗️❗️We makin it out the Embryo with this one❗️❗️❗️🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Is this what Player Expression looks like cus if so maybe Strive is better off without it
Lmfao hahahahahahahahaha u stupid
"But muh Strive boring I can't even 120 hit combo just to get a corner advantage"
Expression my ass.
"I don't have to spend 1000 hours just to get to a decent level this game is too easy"
@@henriquefinger935 Lol who hurt you???
Your Editor is killing it.
This guy is the char I can never beat
Just got into blazblue and he drew my attention immediately kinda like zappa in ggxx
i'd hate to think about what an Arakune mirror would look like after witnessing this lmao
It's my favorite matchup. It's so fun and jank that it feels like home
This is The only character that makes me wanna play this game. Lets see what he's about.....
Ragna Dead Spike Dash Cancel is +2 too lol
Sol Strive f.S is not a war crime. It's a criminal offense, yeah, sure.
However, Arakune's existence just puts you into a Gutenberg Trial esque judgement just for playing.
Arakune players are equivalent to roaches that realized they can fly and starts terrorizing everyone

I wonder if double from skullgirls was inspired by this character's design
Ik that player anywhere I still got nightmares
This character is legit just a bullet hell for fighting games
Mu-12
XD
I'm a Bedman player and a Zappa player. So naturally Arakune is my BOOOOY!!! Completely fair and honest character. 😇
I need a doctor!
“Just Sleep it off...”
Roy: W..tev...r
XD
Venom and Alex Mercer.
Sometimes the best method against an Arakune player is to ✨report them✨
Doesn't this dude have like an invincible unblockable move
this character reminds me of double.
Personally I don't like my chest caved in by fS, but it's all down to preference honestly
Arakune and izanami are the reasons I quit cf in 2018, never happy to see them back lol
i feel like arakune stole the teleport move from bang...
Tbf arakune is so difficult to play that almost every arakune player could learn a different character and get better results w the same time investment
Fs at least you just get blown up. Arakune you gotta still try to block that curse for the next 10s or whatever and think about your life choices.
BECOME ONE WITH THE *SOUP*
XD
Melty composition character ftw lol
BlazBlue beautiful
arakune's explosive mixups allowed blazblue to have a character with really weird and intresting neutral cause of his movement to not be a completely unusable joke character and that's why i think he's way cooler than most characters in this game and respect the arakune players.
its the Mai and susan players i despise imagine coming to fucking blazblue of all games just to pick white bread and water without ice and the worst part is you're characters are still good when they are being uncreative as fuck.
Oh, it's ma boi Arakun
Brooo that arakune is my irl friend let's goooooo
Bro, **** Arakune.
That's your gasly friend from nesica blue cab edition
Ei, Kizzie!! Will we be seeing a Jin guide soon?
2:28 lmaooo
Yo hangnail is one of my sparring partners I’m so jealous

Which cat we talkin bout we got like 3
@@maidenlessbhvrprobably Jubei
You asked if arakune is worse than sol? I don't know anyone who hates strike/throw characters more than I do but compared to arakune it's no contest
I dont play BB but i just wanna say that you shot my homie the other day and that shit was hillarious
I like arakune both game play wise and lore wise unfair I haven't bosought Playstation plus so I can't play online when I am not playing arakune I play hazama or notao
Still think Lambda and Nu much more cursed than Arakune,but thats me.
Is the rollback thingy still active?
Judging from the in-game Rollback Frame counter in the bottom right, yes
Hey kizzie I got a question who’s the easy character to main
Jin, ragna, ol girl with the bostaff I forget her name, kaguya maybe
@@tyronjasonhuff Mai. Also Es is pretty simple to learn too, she's almost like another shoto.
I would say Makoto is easy to learn as well, though the charge mechanics to her drive may take some getting used to when it comes to her more advanced combos
tsubaki has been pretty easy to pick up imo
Nine
@@tyronjasonhuff You were right up until you said Litchi and Kagura lmao, those are not easy characters especially Litchi.
Isn't Testament kinda similar?
But even worse because the curse skull has no cool down and he has TONS of way to inflict the curse again without waiting for his pre-existing curse period to run out.
Arakune made me quit BBCF. The most guaranteed tech against this character.
Like the fool i am… i play ps4 currently, and in knowing bbcf doesn’t have rollback i picked up unib(clr) them servers dead af
i personally think anything involving Arakune is worse
Yo BB community coming back in 2022?
You don't play against trap characters much do you? Makes me wonder if you played against a serious testament in guilty gear
People who pick white Arakune are they same people who pick white Zato and for the same reasons.
Theres a How i met your father?! Omg it must be terrible.....i have to see it
I love and Hate Arakune!
You spell Testament wrong. Seriously, Arakune was created because they wanted to create a character around just one FREAKING move from Testament's skull special. If BB has balls, I double dare you to put AC+R Testament in any Blazblue game.
Special is a funny way to spell cursed
And cursed is a funny way to spell amazing
The only character I banned from ever fighting against..Yes I called my rooms no arakune allowed and kick anybody out who showed up playing him
Coward smh
Arakune is the most annoying to play against on god.
I have to say, Terumi and Tager are also unique, and because I loathe Arakune, I would prefer those two get recognition.
God, I hate this character lol
He's cool, but I prefer the improved version in skull girls.
