Arakune

==Origin==
At some point before the events of the Blazblue storyline, Arakune was a scientist who worked with Litchi Faye Ling in Sector Seven. Somewhere Arakune was used as an experiment in order to cross into the Boundary, which has made him into the monstrosity that is known today in the Blazblue Universe. It seems his one sole purpose is to consume the Azure Grimore held by Ragna the Bloodedge as he believes this will increase his power.

Arakune is fragile but fast, using him will be tough if you cannot Curse your opponent. Stay about arm's length away, Cursing will be your top priority. Using j.236D is very useful for limiting jump space as well as a combo barrier. i.e. Curse -> Launch, preferably 6C (hits cloud) -> j.B etc. Effectively manipulating your curse bugs and the placement of field obstructions is very essential to make up for the sub-par stats (2nd lowest Health) and generally unpredictable/erratic movement patterns. Feinting movements with "if p then q" is useful for dodging a short move like A and some Bs, then countering.
Poorly tested string:
Curse (J.236D) -> J.2B -> (Mash A, B, C) -> J.2B -> Rinse, repeat
Arakune is very weak without his curse. He has low HP and mediocre strength, fighting Hakumen (deadly specials) or v-13 (outzone, more control) will be very problematic. To remedy this, instant block then counter with 6C or j.6C. Watch your curse bar, and what you're outputting because firing bugs leaves you vulnerable to lengthy moves like v-13's Distortion Drives. *Getting hit or getting your throw broken cancels the currently afflicted curse*
Each attack button calls a different bug. Calling a bug drains a bit of the Crimson gauge. The bugs' trajectories can be altered with the control stick. A bug: Bug arcs down towards your opponent from behind them. B bug: Bug flies down on the line y=-x (<- lol, Arakune approves) towards your opponent from behind you. C bug: A bug comes up from the ground in a small arc, low to the ground, towards you. D bug [why wasn't this here...? XD]: A bug floats down from the top of the screen in a parabola. It goes slower while it's curving back upwards. || Also, something good to know is that the bugs don't appear once you simply push the buttons, but after you release them. Example: If you do 5A -> 6B, but instead of letting go of B, you hold it down, then the B bug will not appear until you release the B button. Some of Arakune's longer combos require you to alter the trajectories of the bugs. Bugs are also useful for pressuring turtles and shifting the Libra.

His taunt is similar to Robo-Ky's battle intro wher he sits on a throne that is a part of him.
