BBCS Gamechariot 12-2-09 Arakune (Hima) vs Lambda-11 (Kaqn)

[Higashikuni999]

@gort3200 cause if he burst he wouldnt be able to catch lambda in the knockback blast. and bursting in the air against lambda with out hitting him with the burst is = to letting him start a new combo. so yeah.

[soulfox40]

Okay, it's decided. Hima's loop is DEFINITELY the best version of the loop i've seen. even though it was mostly unsuccessful in this vid xD

[gort3200]

Man, why doesn't Hima burst at 6:10? Two saved up and Kaqn suddenly making a huge comeback but with just a sliver of life left on match-point, you'd think that would've made the difference.

[ghostfire1234]

i notice most lambda players barely use the legacy sword now.

[7isalukynumba]

awesome!!!

[ThriceDice]

I'd be so mad if I was Hima because half of those j.D attacks landed on Kaqn and they didn't count, like the last one for example at 6:27

[SisforSachiel]

Kaqn using Lambda is a little unusual but hey, I approve. He's still good with her.

[Amon213]

ARAKUNE what did they do to u!!!!

[JessicaAngel22]

2:19 CA Doesnt take away curse? Ehhh?

[ydp112]

@JessicaAngel22

Arakune would be pretty garbage in the next game if you spend that long trying to curse the other player, then lose it in one hit. ):

[scottman27]

@ydp112 u dont lose it in 1 hit u lose it when the meter is empty again..

[ydp112]

Didn't say he did lose it in 1 hit. I said he would be really bad if he did.

[KojinSagara]

@ydp112 tha'ts callede balance though :) and its not hard for arakunes to zone and run away all match anyways

[Manazxz]

close match! wonder why hima didnt use his 2 bursts

[Chanmazap]

...this should be interesting.

[meatball123d]

why no burst...

[fatjoe460]

Lets play kick ball with Arakune!! Made popular by Lambda herself ^_~

[yodelboy]

@fatjoe460 Weird right!!! Knocking that MoFo around like that i got to admit though this game made the combos even flashier and i bet alot harder to pull off. With nice damage ratings for all characters aswell. This blazblue will definetly be successful in the console versions. Hopefullly the cheveys and trophies aren't difficult. But fun and thematic like BBCT.

[jelaninoel]

arakune is all floaty now? good i hate that guy

[dajamsteryo]

what i dont get though is that they say they toned down Nu (now Lambda) in this game which it doesn't look like they did much, And they tone down Rachel a bit. I was mad about that. She was fine! she didn't need to be toned down

[tuber52]

@dajamsteryo well they basically nerfed her attacks much like everyone else. and they took away her b&b ground D combo. thats why u notice that kaqn has to hit arakune with the swords in the air cause only those can be cancelled into the drive spam crap. and also whenever he does his drive on teh ground he either does that dash or he does the 4D,D but those never fully connect.

and trust me rachel was not fine, u just never fought someone who could abuse her well enough

[dajamsteryo]

@tuber52 ahhh i see. I played as rachel and i see the damage she can do. but i didnt realize it was that powerful

[dajamsteryo]

Lambda looks like a beast the way Kaqn plays as her!

i can't wait till this come out on the console version in the US.

[masonmjames]

For a character who was supposedly toned down, it appears Lambda gained a lot of loops.

[KojinSagara]

i love it. thank god she doesn't suck.

[ShoryuSwordsman]

2:39 can sum1 tell me y da hell lambda didnt die frm dat throw..

[Gah1231]

Thats a very good question...

[monkichiro]

It was probably a counter attack. Counter attacks can't kill the opponent and Arakune's is a grab unlike most other characters.

[blzdout]

It a critical assault. Look at the heat gauge.

[ShoryuSwordsman]

wow, didnt know kune's critical assault was a grab. thx blzdout and onkichiro

[KyKiske101]

That match was EPIC!!!!!

I was on the edge of my seat

[aftermath666]

Hima's CS Ara is garbage :( I really enjoy his CT playstyle (lots of tricks) but he seems damn near useless in this game. Once the enemy is cursed he knows how to use the bugs but without curse it's like watching someone who has only played Ara a handful of times and only learned the most basic combos. This has nothing to do with the amount of time the game has been out as Hima played the loketests plus a month of real gameplay and yet he isn't anywhere near his Ara peers. What the hell Hima!?

[neokyo2k]

loool ok then

[aftermath666]

Instead of a useless comment why not give an example of why you think he isn't garbage in this vid? I went out of my way to mention that he knows how to play ara in CT because it's a valid point, just go compare and you'll see, so why not do the same? You have the ability to give your opinion for a reason so use it. Why someone would not capitalize on that is beyond me

[neokyo2k]

:D k kool

[BboyKnoLedge]

@aftermath666

continued:

He now has a meter to fill up and still have to be on the defensive, because now, no one is scared to rush him down, because of the curse bugs nothing being able to knock down, and stop people in their tracks. Arakune has to be played totally different and hima is trying to figure that out....

[cookiehours]

give me a fucking break. the game just came out. he has to get used to the game. i noticed some changes in cs and even i'll have to get used to them when the game hopefully comes to consoles.

[BboyKnoLedge]

@aftermath666

dude just give hima time... even thought he's a high level arakune, he still has to get use to everything. hima is only human and you have to bare with him. iam sure in the next couple of months his skills will show as deadly as his arakune was before ...

arakune was nerfed and he game play relied heavily on his curse set ups and all of that has change he now has a bar that he has to fill up.

[neokyo2k]

i nah lie, kaqn lambda is impressive

[azraelsohma]

I agree.

[aftermath666]

I actually like his lambda more than I like his Ragna. Good ragnas tend to use the same 2-3 BnBs which gets boring as hell. His Lamda is a little more free form though which I enjoy. Reminds me of how us Arakune players play Ara I.e. Willing to change up our strategy and playstyle multiple times over the course of even a single round.
