Nightmare Video Thread

Have you tried with Natsu too? I assume it could work with many of the attacks she can perform after jumping in the air.

Not sure if this is only works against algol but i'll figure out the reason.

Air hit Critical Edge will leave the opponent ground-stunned long enough for a free combo (GS-K~BE) follow-up. Tech Left or Right will not be possible after air-hit CE.

Same goes for the second combo (2A+B Is a Free Follow-up). second combo works on all Gi'd air attacks.


Combo Potential at its peak!

Moved your new topics into the video thread.
 
For real. Saitoh destroyed the whole tourney. Maybe an Astaroth bandwagon will replace the Nightmare bandwagon.

I don't believe in NFK's NM. It's fraudulent, a pocket NM if you will...but we'll see how that goes. Is this tournament character locked?

I think Saitoh flat-out outplayed Keev. That's the thing about those two characters, both are high tier but difficult characters. I mean, how many Nightmare mains are there in France? Or how many Nightmare mains are there in your local community? Most probably one at most.

When they work well, they seem OP as hell. When played by mere mortals, they look weak as shit.

Those early ring-outs really broke Keev's focus I see; he was missing punishes and reverting to unsafe backdash which Saitoh capitalized on. Very nice play by him.

Preaching to the choir on this. Haha.

But see, the bandwagon is determined by whatever character is successful, not the player. Hence why the majority of couch warriors spend more time bitching for change X in balance patch Y than they do actually playing the game. Outside of the legit tournament scene, most people who play fighting games are convinced that skill has nothing to do with anything.

All I'm saying is that if Saitoh continues in this vein of straight up fuckrape, expect an Astaroth bandwagon. Though that's probably not too much of a stretch seeing as I'd say Astaroth is probably in the top 5 most common characters I run into online. Gotta love dem 3 bar Lagstaroths. But whatever, different story for a different day in a different thread.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS SOON, with two or three Nightmares. Is there going to be a stream or do we just have to wait for uploads?
 
Welp, Nightmare bandwagon will still be around. But not because of Keev.

Props to Omega.

It was an entertaining tournament. Over REALLY fast, but very entertaining.
 
Hey here's some new footage of me at our local store tournament. I recorded it and edited it which is why the quality isn't as high as usual.


 
I knew there was something stupid about GIs...they lack priority and end up whiffing shit... And sometimes you just get hit cuz the attack goes right through.
