Any tips on how to play him in high level arcade? He’s my only character with 170+ gear score. His soft feints and zone are both parried fairly consistently by the AI. I think they’ve got some programming that stops them from taking more than a two hit combo.
Mind games don’t work either. Occasionally letting heavies fly just gives them a heavy parry.
I don’t know what to do!
Yes, I know.... Blade blockade = parry. I use PC version game and parry is very problem. for me. Aramusha has only one combo "Blade blockade" and next vipers or GB and light spam .... Light spam is now very slowly .... Next, he has no stamina. I use 3x heavy attack and done.... no stamina... and deffense... and dodge.... Aramusha is only rly perfect on minion killer....Originally Posted by DefiledDragon Go to original post
Yeah blade blockade is defo good. Nothing is ever really guaranteed though... aramusha does all of his damage in soft-feinted combos, when they’re parried by the ai I’m just left with light attack chip damage. I once had them parry a blade blockade unblockable, which I had soft-feinted into a light. Like wtf, it’s borderline unreactable. Used up my entire stamina bar too.
As someone else said, change characters. Aramusha is a good minion and noob/lvl 1-2 AI killer. Anyone or any bot that can react to him will tear him a new one. All of the characters who are designed to be good effective when their opponent is not good at reacting are badly designed, most of the characters built around fast lights fall into this case, as well as any characters without good mixups, soft feints, openers, and unblockable attacks now. The way the game has changed in an attempt to stop perma-turtle meta is a good thing, but only a handful of characters have kept up with this change, many still need reworks and buffs.
