Nightmare Web Theater.

ah thx for the announcement
I don't know how to shut down the video embedding LOL

looking foward for your correction :)
THX ^^
 
you know how to turn it off now though right?

first match:
needs more agA, yoshi isn't that good at dealing with agA spammage at mid-long range
nice BT B+K at that one part
impressive that you got a CF =D

if yoshi or other characters are using TCing "B" moves after blocked WS use WS > GS A to beat them

good use of 66A at range

I think you need to do more mixup instead of going for CF. if he had punished better you would not have been able to get CF I think
 
yes I 've checked it on advanced reply :)

yes I always forget to do Aga lol
need to do that more often

looks like I do too much WS even I know it would be blocked LOL
GS throw, GS 1K, and GS FC throw is an option for mixup
But I still not used to it tho....
should change my bad habit throwing too much WS B lol

yeah about CF I think I force it too much
I want to prove that night is able to do a CF
even it's really2 HARD and Exhausting LOL =D

thx for the comment. I'll try to do better next time :)
 
heh well it's good that you were able to do it but I think in general it's not good to focus on CF because the tide is easily turned against you if they GI you or interrupt you and get momentum, because this allows their gauge time to heal.

need to throw much more

another thing Cupui...if you are going to do soul charged 3B you should throw or 1K after it. 6K is a waste
 
I decided to post some of my latest NM videos here for reference, before these matches get too old....

hope you enjoy them.

I think to some of you NM players might think I'm a scrub simply because I'm not able to finish off my opponent as fast as you guys can...

please comment.

there are some good references of tech traps, anti-tech traps used... once again i miss some combos... and there's certain places where i could 2A+B but i did GS KK instead.... i know... i just like GS KK more.. that's all... it's a preference.. i plan to use more 2A+B though.....

I haven't watched the vids but I thought this was funny.

Actually you're like me using GS KK instead of 2A+B, dude it can be a bad habit a times, but near the edge and near walls, this stuff is money.

First match, B+K was working well in this match...but GS A I barely want to touch it, unless I am coming from outer-range against cass. I prefer bA instead. When GS A doesn't work you lose all momentum.

What do you think of after B+K [A] K hits doing 3A+B or 11B as mixups with 66B and 33B?

On 41 you played into Cass's game there, getting close too many times, GS A will get you killed fast if blocked. You would prefer to do it when she's coming at you...instead of you rushing at her with it. GS B is better for rushing in cause it gives you some space when blocked. Random 66B+Ks.

42 No Backspacing at all...but you won the pressure game so yeah! Random WS B fishing, makes you eat BBs.

Personally when I am far away, I press G to track my opponent then use 6BB or 7G then 66BB, this holds chars like cass at bay for awhile, and then I switch to B+K A, or GS A for when they try to step in.

Anyway I still give this match-up to Nightmare...the options are plenty.
 
great play in match 40 lau, you seemed to remember 11K in that one haha, and hit some nice traps

In general I think you could have spaced more and done more sidestep, especially in some of the earlier matches you would run forward and block too much and ruin you range advantage. Remember that 3K is fast and technically safe, but you can't sidestep after it (at least not fast moves like cass BB), you can only block or GI, but 11K you can sidestep cass BB easily.

chang's friend should punish blocked WS with 236AB because that's 100% guaranteed, as is 236B (not 236) against 3/3B. course I know cass is not his main or anything so that's nitpicky stuff

match 42 in that last round you really went crazy on him I was like damn. still need to work on that trade WS into 2A+B though :)
 
KingAce:

i'll try out the 11B/3A+B after GS KK i think that's a good idea i was thinking about that before as well

Tiamat:
yes i never thought of the stepping issue post 3K the way you just described it.. i'll keep that in mind

and yes i still got problems with trading hits with WS lol

-LAU
 
The AI taught me something yes the fucking AI, anytime Nightmare is in a crouch state, just step him...This bitch of AI kept on stepping my WS knees and WS Bs with Cass, I got pissed quick son. So yeah that's a weakness right there. Watchout for that. Cass's step is still damn godly.

good point... gotta do crazy stuff like 6A from crouch lol

Here's some casual matches

Nightmare ( adi ) Vs Siegfried ( Cupui )

Nightmare ( Adi ) VS Amy ( Bagus )

I'm not in a good condition that time
so maybe I made some mistakes

comment will be appreciated
THX :)
 
I'm noticing several users on this page did not follow this request: http://www.8wayrun.com/f34/nightmare-forum-annoucements-t1187/

I have edited the posts accordingly, but I would prefer if you would save me the time and do it yourselves.

for Adi Nightmare:
- after being knocked down, if sieg goes into SRSH (6B+K) stance, do not stand up. stay on the ground and guard if you see the animation for SRSH A+B. standing up into SRSH mixup is easily avoidable but dangerous if you stand up into it
- you MUST punish seig's 3 on guard with 6K or 1K. you can also a:G+A if you are really pro (it looked like you did that once). K trades at far block but you still get more damage.
- I like that you used agA a lot
- need to use 3B more, cupui kept ducking your throws
- good punishing SRSH [K]
- never do WS > NSS K combo, it is useless

for the matches against amy:
- use 33K/33K6 to beat her high attack spamming.
- nice bA6 hit, that move is pretty good against amy
- when using 1[A], try 1[A]6 GS B sometimes. It is nearly a frametrap on guard, only very fast high moves like amy 6BB can interrupt it. use it often

if you would tell my comments to Adi for me Cupui that would be great
 
Yo Tiamat
THX for the advice

don't worry :)
I'll tell all your advice to him

about punishing Sieg's 3B
I already told him but looks like he hasn't used to it yet

and about using night's 3B
on the previous match I always block and punish it
so he didn't use 3B a lot
But using it sometime on GS mix up would be great

I already teach him the night's tech trap
but looks like he like 2A+B set up better

errr.. and about the video embedding
last week
LAU's and SW beta's was turned off

but yesterday, I don't know why
suddenly It became on

remember you edited my post on my previous match on page 3?
The video embedding suddenly became on again :(

Just noticed this... if they're stepping your WS moves, why don't you use WS A at all?

Well I meant the AI. Of course you want to mix it up, with WS A. But for the most part that shit happened to me when I blocked a low, then retaliated with WS
