Match Summary

[Speakeasy]

So how do we chase this little bastard down?

I'm feeling a lot more comfortable in Luna in this matchup, so I can't autopilot 2D after a blocked 6D, and it feels like Dia parsers aren't really going to be doing much for us in this matchup. What else should I know about this matchup?

He's easy to shoot out of the air most of the time due to his hitbox, but a LOT of Arakune players love the hell out of his jump-fakeout-teleport bullshit..so watch how they use it and decide between AA sword and 5D for your punish based on their habits. Stay moving the whole match and don't let him get his curse/bugs going. Mobility is one of the best tools we've got going for us..especially against a sluggish fiend like Arakune.

I know that swords are fantastic in this matchup, but I still feel obligated to use other things. Maybe random yolo 4B or something for fun.
