Nightmare Web Theater.

promethius:
you aren't gonna be able to GS raph's 4B on REACTION...it's anticipation. like you do 33B6 and don't attack to make the 4B whiff is what you mean. IMO raph still wins the matchup 6-4, he can outpoke NM pretty bad and it can be hard to throw him because of his 4B, 44B, and the fact that he's not usually trying to be in your throw range anyway

Engared:
best way to learn to fight those characters is to learn them a bit though that is time consuming. raph is the easiest of those to learn/explain so I'll give you some super basic stuff to try out.

vs Raph you gotta know how his prep game works. you can step all raph's prep moves (step right with nightmare) but prep goes to SEA if he presses 2 and this will make him re-align and track your step recovery. The key to raph's prep is that you CAN step everything but in actual match play you won't because you can't step everything with the same timing.

common raph flowcharts are
3 > prep A
3 > prep BB
3 > 2 > prep A or 2 again

if unsure what to do just block. if you block too much you will get CFed by SEA repeats though (the 2 in my notations above) so if you predict that move you can try to hit him with a high damage attack like 33B.

raph's full tracking moves are: 2A, WS A, 66A (max range only or is steppable both sides)

vs Ivy just try to learn to react to her 22K that's all I can say lol

vs maxi you basically just have to learn what stuff goes to his BL KK because that's his only low move that really hurts a lot. (strings like 3BA > slight delay KK). like promethius said, you really gotta turtle a lot and B+K tends to dodge his moves cause maxi has bad range on most things. step right is preferable though maxi generally tracks well. IMO NM wins this matchup 6-4....maybe more.

Against Raph, the general guideline is that if you Block (his prep transition attack), Step.
Once you Step-Punish Raph enough, if he's smart he should start mixing up with (using 3B as an example) at the very least:
3~Prep Attack
3~Prep~G
3B

Nice matches, even with the lag on the tv. I noticed that Promethius doesn't really vary what moves he follows up with or uses as combos.

eg: 1[A]6 > GS B
WS > GS KK

I found it a little odd, since for WS , I would use NSS b:A as my combo most of the time unless the launch is really low, or I think I need movement from/to the edge.
 
Thanks for this vids. Very impressive Yoshi, which looks like a Taiwanese Yoshi. I think Yoshi's RO > Nightmare's RO.
By the way, Promethius and Tiamat play very good against him. It looks like all good nightmare using 4A+BG. =D First Keeve, now Tiamat.
These vids are good for refreshing.

WS ~NSS b:A will only hit on NH and sometimes its hard to guess whether it will be a NH or a CH. WS >GS KK is like a failsafe just in case you react slowly to the CH or NH. It can also be used to reposition. I do not think he was trying to do it on purpose and more as a recovery from a slow reaction or to the lag on the TV.
 
if you are unsure of normal or CH it's better to go to NSS A+B than GS KK

unless you are at a small stage and want GS KK for positioning/RO
 
Well, the lag didn't kill me but so much, other than blocking lows. The reason I was using GS kk is because I know it will combo regardless of hit, and it pushes him towards the edge. If I can see the CH then ill act otherwise, but against lolo...I just wanted to make sure I got guaranteed damage..lol.

Oh and Tiamat, yeah..it was anticipation vs Raph when he does 4b. Dude, try it...it works. For some reason..every raph player falls for GS, then they do 4b, then i do WS B immediately after it whiffs XD. Its most the Raphs that KNOW 4b can hurt Nightmare really badly.
 
microgamer videos =D

vs kilik:
- the 88B > (kilik does the monument thing off the ground) GS KK series happened quite a few times and was amusing
- nice iagAs at round start just be careful not to be predictable with it
- don't do so much 66K6 it has shitty range. more 33B and 11K

vs cass:
- nice round start dropkick lol
- you coulda had that first match if you were more patient and didn't do 1A x2 lol. he's up to the wall and you have life lead shoulda done something else.
- try to almost never duck vs cass. try to outspace her throws and break them when she gets in range for them. as for her lows, try to step a lot so that they miss, but if they hit you don't get too worried she'll have to chip you a while to kill you with those, and one stepped low will give you enough damage to equal her hitting you with several
- you had a problem where after knockdowns when you GS you would always throw. it may sound dumb but GS to 33B isn't bad (especially 33B6 ground hit > 33B) and hits the ground unlike WR B, so you aren't as reliant on them standing up
- CH 1K you kept trying to mixup without training him to block first by using FC K/WS K/WS B. you did land a WR B trade against her 2A but you did 2A+B and no attack throw happened cause of distance. an understandable mistake but try to notice the distance and just do 66B if you think you're too far for 2A+B

vs kilik pt2:
- in match 2 from 0:27 on for the next few seconds I felt like you should have stepped right to position yourself for a possible RO. you were low on health so trying to reposition for a chance at a whiff punish or other hit into a RO would have been a good strategy
- you lose another match to the kilik so I look harder for why you're losing and it seems to boils down to 1) unfamiliarity with certain moves like 22AA 2) you getting hit out of moves (counterhits or being hit out of NSS.) meaning block and sidestep more
-
at 3:05 onward how could you NOT 33B him for whiffing that, and then you....whiff bA?!!?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
- 3:15 is good example of when you coulda done GS 33B that i mentioned earlier, he stayed down so the WR B missed
 
lol yeah... 1A two times in a row was not one of my better moments; I never ever use 1A outright like that haha. I'll try working in 33B like you said as well as being patient more with stepping at range and such.
 
Hey,

So on August 16 Winnipeg was having its annual fighting game tournament and SCIV was on the roster. Unfortunately the SCIV tourney was cancelled due to lack of interest (3 people registered =[ ).

A money match was made in place of the tournament with me and my friend Kang. Tell me what you guys think and what I can improve on.


I had trouble doing iaga, and messed up the CH GS A -> a combo at times.

Also I wanted to note something at 7:38 when I tried the 4A+B. I was thinking that since I had trained Kang to not tech after every 3B, I could hit with 4A+B in a wall combo and be manly. Unfortunatly he randomly guessed to tech and got out lol....
 
Schneider got free money!!! very one sided. 1A can be good vs mitsu stances at distance and 33B is imo better punish for 2KB than 3B. That's about it for comments.

good job not using flapjacks and 66K6, they suck. hah
 
I just wanna mention... since I haven't really been active on this board for 2 months so i need to catch up with old post

but I just wanna mention

my match against Malek, Kira and Something Unique

I lost completely to Malek... even though my joystick wasn't working completely well but it really wouldn't have mattered THAT much... since i really never played against ivy

Kira was close.. but lost

but I DID beat Something-Unique in our FT5... so that part was wrong...it was extremely close match.. but just like Kira.. i lost... close but SU i did win.. close...

-LAU
 
maybe we were talking about you losing to SU's hilde? though I haven't seen that so maybe it's not recorded
