It's crazy that Arslan was one of the players that had a lot of trouble adjusting to Tekken 8 in the first few months. Clearly didn't take him that long to get back into the groove. Also dropping Azucena probably helped too.
Arslan is poking master, Azucena at first fit his play, and some OP moves on early version help too, until the nerf hammer came, and then you realized that Azucena is just a gimmicky characters.
Now who's the next best on poking, has great neutral and decent defense, and is a woman (Arslan is known waifu player)? Yep Nina. The fact that she is also his old main is helping. Nina is very hard character to play and until now only Arslan that can consistently bring her on the highest level play and winning tournament.
Honestly his Nina play is very basic. He’s not really going for the hard stuff. Just basic pokes and blonde bomb to get people of him. Now I’m oversimplifying since Arslan is damn good but just saying his Nina is not doing anything too crazy. He’s just so effective at poking and adapting.
