    What's So Different about Arcane?

    There is clearly a huge difference in the Arcane we see now and the Arcane we saw Vs Bender at Blackout.

    What is it?

    I'll be real and say he seems like WAY less of a douchebag. He was very chill at Blood in the Water 5 (Wait until you guys see that. His performance was disgusting), he seemed truly respectful Vs P.H. (Calling out "haters", Charron and Saurus aside) and he seemed to be having a great time against Skelly.

    Now, a battler's attitude outside of battles usually should have no bearing on how good of a battler they are. I think Saurus acts like a dick to a lot of battle fans, but I've never deducted from his ability as an MC because of it.

    However, BECAUSE Arcane seems to have become less of a douche, his style seems way more enjoyable. He seems to be having a lot more fun with his battles, with his opponents and even with his interviews.

    What do YOU think has changed?

    Yeah, I think the attitude that he projects has genuinely shifted, which is definitely beneficial to the way he's perceived. He got a reputation as the "villain" during the first GP because of a couple controversial decisions (only wrong call was against Knamelis IMHO...he murdered Charron despite the popular consensus of robbery and I think he won his title match against Thesaurus). With that reputation, he embraced the heel status as Pesci is generally wont to do, which is why he was viewed as the underdog defending his own title (other than Bender of course being a beast). After the loss he seemed a bit bitter going into the second GP, and his approach of calling out rappers that were stylistically different as inferior (the Charrons, Trickys, Twists etc.) led to Tricky and FeelGood garnering almost the entirety of the crowd's support against him and Dose. So I think that while his demeanour has shifted, we also perceive him differently due to the opponents he's facing now and the approach he goes at them with (the only true story he's done recently was taking the piss out of that tactic by dropping it after the Skelly's wife line).

    Yeah, he's cool sometimes, but he sometimes adopts the attitude of, "Fans should shut the fuck up and not speak like they know shit." that a lot of MCs tend to have.

    The battle scene is one of reciprocity. It's chicken and egg. Yes, we wouldn't have shit to watch if it wasn't for them battling, but their views come from us.

    There are some douchebag fans who act like they know everything, but that's always going to happen. I have a very good analytical grasp of the battle scene, what I feel makes a good battle MC (Objectively and subjectively) and what are good or bad judgement calls. I don't need to have battled to know that and I won't be told that I do.

    Saurus was getting pretty uppity about some of the comments on his battle with Eurgh. Granted, he did say he wasn't of the stance that you can't judge if you haven't battled, but he just seems to come off ungrateful SOMETIMES. He isn't the only one.

    I've always liked Arcane. To me he's always been one of the most hated, in the same way as Tito Ortiz. He just kept winning and that annoyed everybody.

    Perhaps people don't think his arrogance and record truly reflects his talent/status in the league due to the number of chokes he faced. But if we're going to chastise batters for choking and failing, then we should equal applaud people that are prepared and succeed.

    I don't think Arcane's personality has changed at all. I do think against PH and Skelly he's put on two performances that combine with his consistency, and fans may see his talent as catching up to his perceived "arrogance".

    Arcane's been my favorite KOTD champ in its short history, and with his Don't Flop battle coming out i'm sure he'll continue to surprise until its eventually no longer a surprise.

    he is finally throwing the irrelevant shit behind him, accepting his image for what it is, and focusing on his bars and it has turned into pure gold in his last two battles. I have actually really liked his last performances and he is climbing up my ladder in favorite battlers. He is accepting his image and playnig off it instead of being spiteful towards people.

    It's because he's not acting like he thinks he's hard as fuck anymore. He might not have actually felt that way but he gave off that vibe at first. Like when bender destroyed him with the sorry player, Cane got all pissy like he was mad it was a good line. And after his monster truck announcer line even bender was laughing and it sounded like he was being cool joking around, but right after he finished saying the line he when right back to diva mode. Again I'm not saying this was actually how he meant to come off and emotions are different in a battle with so much pressure on you but he just happened to come off that way. lol plus telling bishop to shut up. Some people respect him for that and some people put that under the douche Column.

    And he seems like he is being more himself cause it definitely seemed before like he was trying to be hard but failing horribly.

    I really do agree that they held him back for too long for Bender to get his shot and you can see that his worst battle was the Bender battle, his Pesci battle and his PH battle were great, so I think he was tired of the bull with the Bender match and after he got jerked in the 2on2 battle, I think he asked KOTD for a big battle to get back out there and opponent like PH was perfect. And now with no chain and him having a great 1on1 return, he got to pick who he wanted, and the Skelly battle was good. Like other people said too, he seems to enjoy battling again and doesn't have to be all bad.

    I never hated him too(well, only in the Pesci battle) but I respected when he had bars that were nice and gave him his dues and its a lot easier now with this new attitude he has.
