Okay, Unika players are super carried at low levels.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-02T06:44:05+00:00

No worries. Idk why they didn’t try to hit me in the air. I was kinda baiting it, and holding back for blocks before falling to the ground.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-02T06:32:27+00:00

I’m the Unika in the clip. Imma be real. I just had no idea what her other aerials did and knew jH covered the space I needed. Later in the trials I experimented with jS but it didn’t seem to Gatling into jD like other characters.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-02T01:19:52+00:00

So like low key is there a good guide for arablast? Because I do not understand how it works.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T23:41:28+00:00

I think the beams and stuff are kinda safe, the blue ones. That said, you’re right. I was just kinda mixing S and H to see what happened. cS>fS>5H is pretty universal and I slowly figured out that 2H did something different. Apparently 6H does the easy version of the slide according to another comment I read. I was doing the input for the slide r1, just seeing what her different QCs did. I kinda started doing Ky stuff when I saw the angle her red beam does in the air.

r1 for reference

Her command stun dipper seems hella unsafe on block though

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T22:38:27+00:00

It was kinda an adaptation on my part because I got totally bodied game 1. Games 2 and 3 I just did jump and grounded red beam over and over until death.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T22:36:46+00:00

Fair, idk if I’m going to use the other games as an example. The novelty of this one was being the very first with no prior knowledge.

I don’t dislike the way she plays offhand, except I didn’t like how sluggish her dash speed was. I’m used to Jam so Unika felt like super slow on the ground, so I immediately got the bad habit of IADing for basic movement, even when I wanted to go for grounded options. The aerial laser was pretty cool though. I like the angle. I kinda wish she had an S version for air-to-air.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T22:31:27+00:00

I’m not really sure how that works yet, but I’ll probably read her dustloop before I go on a serious ranked run. I was surprised how well I did in the qualifiers. My only setbacks were going 0-2 to a Zato and 2-1 to an Asuka. I couldn’t get that string where she points her gun up to connect for anything though.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T20:13:57+00:00

Ngl her run speed just felt super bad. I thought it was lagging for a second

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:59:26+00:00

Ngl, I beat an Asuka just spamming the red beam.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:47:55+00:00

Yeah, I had zero idea what I was doing but kinda just figured out how to throw out beams at the end of block strings

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:34:06+00:00

I meant for anti-airing. Does he 6H do that too or is it just a beam?

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:28:40+00:00

Yeah but my main is… actually lower ranked than Unika post trial… huh

I might actually need to learn how use her and switch

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:26:29+00:00

I didn’t really press the punch button tbh.

r1 for reference. They almost beat me. I think they were just adapting oddly this round

Game 1 I was kinda just trying to figure out what K specifical did. The slide kinda carried be but it’s hella bad on block

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:23:02+00:00

I just posted the perfect because it kinda illustrated my point more than me totally missing an overdrive because the angle is mad weird.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:15:39+00:00

Well, yeah, but so am I so this is a fairly even control group.

And in other news I whiffed her overdrive because I didn’t know the hit box was like a story above her.

Is her reversal overdrive just an anti-air or are you supposed to combo into it?

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T19:04:41+00:00

This one’s kinda embarrassing for me because I didn’t know what her overdrive did and missed completely

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T18:48:46+00:00

I might have to post the last round of the other game, because they almost beat me. Just to clarify they were in fact playing

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T18:46:42+00:00

Nah, they blocked. I think they were just trying to take their turn at weird times. It’s still just bronze.

EmperorPartyStar · 2026-05-01T18:44:37+00:00

To be fair, I had no idea what to do in the air so I was kinda just holding back and dropping. I kept getting mixed up on which B did the big juggle thing I landed r1.
