Need help improving my Nightmare (vids inside)

[xX_LimiT_Xx]

I've been getting into the offline scene recently and I'd really like to improve any way I can. I've recorded a couple of videos of me playing some casual matches against the CPU on very hard (no one else was there at the time). Any advice is welcome, cheers!

From your first video, you should learn some more combos. After , you can combo into > GS . After you can do GS(). Also, CH WR > NSS > is a fine combo, but when you're close to a wall, you can do GS() instead of and get a wall splat for more damage and the still end with . For a quick run through on combo staples to learn and incorporate into your game, check out this video...

One last thing, it's usually not a good idea to finish because the last hit has a really slow recovery. That combo is only guaranteed on CH, so other than that, don't use it.

EDIT: After watching your second video, you should mix up your grabs more. is good for ROs and wall splat, but does more damage and leaves the opponent at your feet for better pressure afterward.

I can't really say much else on the defensive end since you're playing against a computer, so that's all for now. Work on the combos and such.

Also, know Nightmare's poke game. He has many neat pokes and they are all kicks like WR k, 3k, k, 1k, 66k, 11k and 6k. All are safe and can stop the tempo of your opponent. The advantage in this is if your opponent has low health, it's good to use mostly kicks to stop them. If there was a situation where both moves would connect at the same time, instead of them clashing, both moves would just exchange and your opponent would take the damage anyway.

BigRichez, how is going? You play SF4 as your main fighting game now?
