If arakune has a million haters, I’m one of them. If arakune has 100 haters, I’m one of them. If arakune has 1 hater, that’s me. If arakune has 0 haters, I must be dead. So long as blazblue central fiction has arakune, I’ll hate him.
Imazume and Rachel Alucard are broken in the way they can fuck themselves badly if they misuse their broken shit. Arakune makes it so that you jump from being a "weak" normal character into an unlimited character.
I'm gonna have to test that, I learned with Jubei the game has a FORM of Crossup protection where if you're still in blocktstun and get crossed up it won't count but I don't know how else that'd work. (I've also learned as Amane that if a stylish player runs out of barrier, they don't take bonus damage lol.)
When I brought up how downright dreadful it was to fight an Arakune player, someone opted to ask, "Well would you rather fight a Racheal or Carl player instead?" Hell yeah I would, because at the least I can actually SEE my own character amongst the tricks they pull-
People who actually play the game know the pain of fighting 'screen vomit the character' and chars like that in other FGs. The people who don't know will disagree otherwise because they don't have to put with that experience ever.
Not only it's pretty annoying to find enough mid-level Arakune players to practice against, when you do find them in events, they're so unintuitive to deal with, it's miserable. It's not like I would beat a high-level Arakune on a different character, anyway, so that's probably fine lol
My brother bought this game when it came out, claiming it was the best fighting game created, then played it exactly once. That left me playing single-player alone, and Arakune was the only fun thing I found in that.
I once had a friend when blaz first came out who played arakune and I used rachel. He often argued with me that rachel was the easiest character to win with because she was top tier and I told him lets switch and I will just mash with arakune and he kinda knew how to use rachel. I beat him like 10-0 and he disconnected and unfriended me, real life. We had played against each other in several games too and I kinda viewed him as a real friend.... guess not.
On behalf of the izanami council I am here to remind you all to not question what you are told believe this man bug blob is your only enemy. You can trust us
The crossup at 3:29 is also extra gross because of the guard crush bug. You not only have to get the side right, you also need to barrier block it, but in this game if you switch block while pressing barrier, you get a B attack and get counterhit instead. You need to execute very, very carefully to block what are already supremely nasty mixups lol
i see and understand your point, and as a person who's started getting into bbcf no more than a week ago, i will now become the bane of my friends' existences
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI Lol true, but realistically the tiers were much more spread out in Calamity Trigger. No curse meter to fill in CT, Arakune D attacks were all instant curse and you could recurse the opponent. Most characters in the game could literally do nothing against him.
I always like the idea of high execution=high reward characters, this video is actually what made me pick up Blazblue Centralfiction, and yes I’m currently maining Arakune.
Man, I agree with this vid title so much. I remember in Continuum Shift iirc, they made it so even if he got hit, the curse would still stay on. I was like wtf?!
I remember when blaze blue got rollback and I figured I’d try the game out and I was having fun playing matches until I faced articune and literally had no clue wtf was happening and stopped playing the game
I'm a blazblue enjoyer, I play casually with my friend. Being able to curse from any combo is not as easy as it seems, and Arakune is one of the most technical character I play. I barely succeed at cursing my opponent when I play Arakune. I'm not hating him, he's one of the "wtf is he doing" kind of character, among with Faust in Guilty Gear. Please, be nice with Arakune :)
i like em as a concept really unique. Always liked the out of place characters. In gameplay.. honestly i think he should have floating and grab moves. In the VA stuff he doesnt even have bugs But... Roy means swarm. (Lotte Roy Carmine is his name) The closest is Roy the human hearing buzzing. His whole point is he eats people so grabs and maybe some kind of bleed effect maybe?
its not even about character balance either. Its just a vile way to play and win throwing vomit on the screen and expecting your opponent to try navigate all of it.
Ok but you making this video means that Arakune trials might be upcoming in your future big dawg. Lots of comments about this characters trials in Panda videos. Have fun mr. Illuminate
I play Izanami, Hazama, and secondary various other characters, and while this character is extremely difficult to play, it does not mean I won't hate this character
Arakune is one of the coolest characters in all of fighting games. There is no other character like him anywhere and playing him is like playing a different game than your opponent, it's great.
My friend asked me to get into bbcf, I told him that I value our friendship too much to do that. When he asked what I meant I simply said that Arakune and Rachel are the only characters that appeal to me, he never asked again.
Arakune at least need to hit you and he have bad mobility. Zappa, on other hand, just need to pop that damned sword while everything else about him is either decent or good.
It's already frustrating to fight against capable zoners when you're not at a level where you understand how to get past their projectiles. But Arakune is a menace at all ranges. And it's both boring and stressful to deal with his onsalught of bugs. I already cannot deal with zoners, but this is not a zoner. This is a genuine spam character.
People already curl in the fetal position losing patience fighting against 'traditional' zoners. But Arakune isn't even that. Because for one any decent player would like to keep track of whats happening on screen with the char they are fighting against. But with Arakune its full on screen vomit. The whole curse thing is just cherry on top.
As they say, before you judge the clown, walk a day in his shoes. Arak is frustrating, sure, but so are his inputs, especially try jD juggles gor the first time, it is frustratingly uncooperative with timings between when you can hit your opponent and when it's recovery time.
Okay I have one more question regarding Central Fiction & Rev. 2? Are these games balanced? Not perfectly balanced, but in a way that if someone were good with one character, would that player be able to beat another similarly skilled player with his/her own character ??? Balanced in a way that the character strength doesn't negate the player skill ... Also, you're one of the rarest persons on RUclips to answer & give a heart to comments on age-old videos. Thanks Sire! We all appreciate it !!!
"He's the blemish on an either wise perfect fighting game" Man speaks the truth. Real talk, what is most annoying about him (aside from *EVERYTHING) is that there isn't much expression to him. Every Arakune player plays the same, so you don't get much player identity from him. I can tell Sonfrost from Betadood, Kizzie from ScrubP, Kira from Monarch, Julio from DLZ, Jiv from Edge....not so much from Arakune. **Everything: stupid ass buttons, weird ass hitbox/hurtbox, hard to catch if you aren't a zoner or privileged, Curse is just an excuse to put Mahvel 3 mixups/combos into a non team FG, the matchup is just a race to not get caught in Mahvel mixups/setplay, looks stupid, stupid name, stupid.** ***I'm not biased as Naoto main I swear***
The OG Arakune from Blazblue was disgustingly overpowered. He didn't have to fill a bar in Calamity Trigger, he just had to hit you *once.* He is incredibly oppressive and requires a time investment to learn that doesn't carry over into any other character.
I think the biggest problem with Arakune is the shire ammount of visual garbage he puts on the screen i think his gimmik could be made fair and balanced if it was just tuned down a little and made less hard on the eyes...
If arakune has a million haters, I’m one of them. If arakune has 100 haters, I’m one of them. If arakune has 1 hater, that’s me. If arakune has 0 haters, I must be dead. So long as blazblue central fiction has arakune, I’ll hate him.
My brother.
I have a good match up against Arakune (Mu) and I hate him.
I lov arakune, fav character
Imazume and Rachel Alucard are broken in the way they can fuck themselves badly if they misuse their broken shit. Arakune makes it so that you jump from being a "weak" normal character into an unlimited character.
Preach brother
Do you hate Arakune? Worry not, just pick stylish mode and block all those curse mixups with double barrier and crossup protections
Average technical mode fan vs Average stylish mode enjoyer
Strongest technical mod fan vs Weakest stylish mode enjoyer
I might try this.
I'm gonna have to test that, I learned with Jubei the game has a FORM of Crossup protection where if you're still in blocktstun and get crossed up it won't count but I don't know how else that'd work. (I've also learned as Amane that if a stylish player runs out of barrier, they don't take bonus damage lol.)
@@Teaman_2.0 this is something I never even fucking fathomed people would do
Jiyuna, I’ve seen the P4AU shorts. Stop using your top player privilege to downplay and slander this low tier, honest, fair, and balanced character.
im telling you, if he did the combo trials he would learn that he's a fair and balanced character.
@@DarkProdigy820 Right, the combo trials aren’t even that hard!
Pretty devastating for something that looks like one of those random enemies in the maze of a Persona game.

Shoutouts to Arakune players for taking the heat off of us fair and honest Rachel mains
BreakerDave plays both!
Or us Nu and Izanami players
I will say, us Carl players would also like to extend some shoutouts as well.
@@megablueflash1816 i hate carl more than arakune cause your damn robots eats all my moves. But i respect them as my friend mains him
W Rika Furude profilepic. An unironic man of culture.
His theme is bad?! Listen, you can trash Arakune all you want, but I will not hear any disrespect towards Daisuke's compositional skills
Among blazblue themes, it's bad. Which means it's still good, but not godlike.
@@DiceOLThis is basically the Trigger case.
Remember back when Arakune's bugs were small and one hit was curse?
Pepperidge Farm remembers...
And don't forget, D attacks FULLY recharged the curse gauge when you WERE ALREADY CURSED.
As a Arakune player I always enjoy the fear and hatred of this character by others. It fills me with DETERMINATION.
Evil.
Chad
The undertale reference lol
Being cursed in the corner, bugs everywhere, while having no burst is straight agony
Just give up.
Then what about having barrier when you're getting bugged, but timing it terribly?
@@anothenblue2630 In that situation, you feel more frustated on yourself knowing that you could've played better
On the first case, you can only pray
When I brought up how downright dreadful it was to fight an Arakune player, someone opted to ask, "Well would you rather fight a Racheal or Carl player instead?"
Hell yeah I would, because at the least I can actually SEE my own character amongst the tricks they pull-
Yup, even if he is not the strongest he is the worst to fight.
People who actually play the game know the pain of fighting 'screen vomit the character' and chars like that in other FGs. The people who don't know will disagree otherwise because they don't have to put with that experience ever.
Skill Issue
@ANIMEILLUMINATI
But Arakune becomes the strongest character after he curses you. Rachel with max wind cannot compete with that.
My little brother mained Arakune back when he actually played in BBCT. I'm just not sure about that kid sometimes. He ain't quite right.
Unpopular opinions izanami is worse than arakune
@@neaosmt1562 Do you mean Arakune is better than Izanami?
Dave is a real specialist in cursed characters with his Rachel and Arakune
Vatista as well.
Also Kuma in p4a
Enchantress in DNF duel
Not only it's pretty annoying to find enough mid-level Arakune players to practice against, when you do find them in events, they're so unintuitive to deal with, it's miserable.
It's not like I would beat a high-level Arakune on a different character, anyway, so that's probably fine lol
I have never seen a character make people mald this much
Morrigan soulfist spam in umvc3... I remember it being a big thing in the community
I Love it cuz he gives the face of being like that, a character that wants you to mold with a ":o"
Only played these games casually, Arakune is cool as hell. Love that wobbly bug dude. Sorry for y'all that he makes the competitive scene worse.
He don’t make it worse. People are just mad a good character is good
@@thyduke3010 no people are mad at his cancerous playstyle

Arakune players can't stand their own bullshit.
Curse you rachel ruining friendships
The fact that he can go invisible and teleport around. Mixups that you can't see or react to. That's just foul and vile.
damn jiyuna is really calling me out like this…
Well if it ain’t Arakune, my sleep paralysis demon….
Somebody let Dark prodigy from panda know his dream video has come true

On behalf of the izanami council I am here to remind you all to not question what you are told believe this man bug blob is your only enemy. You can trust us
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Arakune is the constant enemy of everything
At least izanami looks cool when she's being bullshit

Pick one.
I love Arakune’s design. But I always love the unusual characters.
Play arakune. Commit war crimes. Hell yeah.
Also thin red line 1 slaps.

Kizzy’s block game during curse is fucking insane. He did not deserve to lose for that borderline perfect gameplay.
Susano and arakune are the "burst or lose" chatacters. if you get touched by them you burst no matter what.
Nah, Susan I’ll save it for the big counter hits. Arafune I burst off a 5A.
Azrael is somewhere around that block too
I knew Kizzi was a beast, but I didn't realize how good he was until I saw him block Arakune
As an Arakune player, the louder the screams of agony the more powerful I become.
Better to be an Arakune player than the millionth Jin/Ragna player. 😤
False.
Just be an Azrael main.
You know what I agree with the person who made this comment I'm going to try and start playing arakune
@@ANIMEILLUMINATIJust Go Tager my boy.
now I understand why no one wants to do his combo trials...

BBCT Arakune still haunts my fears. Thank God that they nerfed him cause that shut was wild
Ps: Arakune's theme is fire stop the cap
They needed him from S tier to S tier.

Good luck, he’s not easy.
had my glasses off and i swore the thumbnail was arakunes head on the among us twerk body

Arakune is just a person whos good at math
Throwing numbers, formulas, etc at you with no consideration
Its totally unfair. At least Kliff threw a word at you that can hurt but it can be dodged.
What a terrible night for a curse...
I was blessed with a best friend that decided to main Arakune when CT dropped.
Hes just a funky little guy
I always like the idea of high execution=high reward characters, this video is actually what made me pick up Blazblue Centralfiction, and yes I’m currently maining Arakune.
I love to see the goop boy winning!
I haven't been playing blazblue too often but is always a treat to watch these matches on the channel!
Remember this Arakune is a bag full of BEES
I love Arakune. I love being the villain. Hate more, it only makes us stronger...
Evil forces prevailed once again.
Man, I agree with this vid title so much. I remember in Continuum Shift iirc, they made it so even if he got hit, the curse would still stay on. I was like wtf?!
1:35 the correct term is "aragluene
God. The moment I heard you say Breaker Dave I knew exactly where this was going. Damn, I hate Arakune.

The video I've been waiting for
It should be noted that is feint moves specifically have a sound queue to let you know they're happening
You are NOT reacting to that when the BEES are all over you.
u can't hear em?@@ANIMEILLUMINATI

really unique.
Always liked the out of place characters.

while in the Air .
i could go on but that about sums em' up
the curse bar
fills up after opponent starts talking trash at u XD

I main µ-12 and she completely stomps on Arakune. I still despise his teleporting dashes, like how I despise Nine's teleports with all my might.
Having access to a meterless DP also helps ALOT. Since you can do the DP/Barrier OS to force the Arakune player to be more defensive during crossups.
It's already frustrating to fight against capable zoners when you're not at a level where you understand how to get past their projectiles. But Arakune is a menace at all ranges.
