Waku Waku 7/Arina

From SuperCombo Wiki


Introduction

Arina is a junior high school student who likes sports. Arina learned fighting skills as a compulsory subject at school. She loves sweets and shopping and has big, charming long ears.

The "shoto" of the game, exceds in neutral having good anti airs, a tatsu that can be combo into it, a good projectiles for zoning opponents, combos and links that can easily TOD the opponent. Good to pick up as a beginner.

(Disclaimer: Arina's special moves require an absurd amount of mashing. Please place a glove or protective hand gear to protect your hand... or y'know, don't.)

Arina
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Really good beginner character
  • Full Chain series
  • Completely invincible backdash
  • Can Zone with her projectiles
  • 236AB inflicts an absurd amount of dizzy meter
  • Super Mode activation invincible
  • 0F Dokidoki, if the opponent isn't blocking when the flash appears they cannot block
  • Can use her Unblockable super (HaraHara super) a lot more than other character due to how easy she can dizzy the opponent
  • Her tatsu is really unsafe, unless all the spins are done
  • Tends to be hard to complete some of her additional attacks, especially the DP

  • The rate and cause for j.C to KNOCKDOWN appears to be somewhat random, and this includes the non-Hehe~n hits. The percentage of a KNOCKDOWN seems to be higher if Hehe~n is not performed.
  • Small and strange hitbox attached to the move, leading to even an inconsistent amount of hits from jump to jump.

PROJECTILE: Yellow (Tier 2); Green (Tier 4); Blue (Tier 5); Pink (Tier 6).

  • A lasts 30F (yellow); 38F (green); 36F (blue); 35F (pink).
  • B lasts 23F (yellow); 32F (green); 32F (blue); 32F (pink).
  • The longer the Arina Beam is charged increases its distance. At full charge,
  • it reaches half-screen.
  • After 57F of charge, the Arina Beam fires automatically.
  • Arina Beam Yellow inflicts more dizzy meter from afar.
  • It takes 5F after releasing the button for Arina to release the blast, and the Arina Beam continues to charge until its first active frame. So if it's charged for 22F, the star rolls over from Green to Blue when it's fired.
