It hurt a bit to watch Ivy ring you out like that but oh well. You'll know better next time. Keep repping the Nightmare Engared :)

 

[Engared]

Might be remaining to Asta or Sophie :D

Ill upload the FT3 we had the day before, that showed what the rest of our casuals were like.

Check Oosaka's post 119.

Some vids of me (Nightmare/Raphael) against the Japanese Crew. I lost most of my matches (75%?) but there should be some interesting moments.
I think I played a mix of Nightmare/Raphael in most cases but Raphael only against Isabella Zero's Ivy.

Tips against those characters would be much appreciated.

I'll try to check them out later. Looks like you fought some Maxi player so I'm gonna try that but can't atm...

edit: wow I spelled "fought" as "faught"

 

[MammothMan]

For shits and giggles, my only recorded match from the last orlando NLL tournament.

I didn't do TOO bad, did I? In my defense, I made a LOT of input errors because of all the online play I've had.

And I swear I can't beat a decent Maxi. I hate not knowing a character.

 

[Schneider-X]

I watched the match with you and Suirad. The only thing I can say is use more 1K, and improve your spacing. I saw alot of 3Bs used when they were clearly out of range imo. This could be an input thing or due to online so yea. Not much else my rusty self can say.

Also as Tiamat would tell me, use more 11K! :P

 

[Tiamat]

to be good against maxi you need to fight one a LOT or learn him yourself. you really can't half ass it

of course, once you know how he works Nightmare has a significant advantage

 

[DeathInMyEyes]

Yeah, those 3Bs where input errors from waaaaay too much onlne. Same for the random 6Bs.

Also, I REALLY should've used more 11k. Suirad punished my 3B waaaay too often.

And Tiamat, I desperately need anti-maxi experience. I get whooped by maxi, scrubby or not.

Also, I can't seem to space Sophitia very well. She has more range than she should.

Nice play belial. But too safe for my liking.Which is a problem when other non-NMs play Nightmare.

More 11K ofc, more 1K, I think WR , GS A beats out the punish he/she was hitting you with. You are also +2-4 on NH WR K and +4 on 11k NH. So i recommend you play aggressive in those situations. Also close range 33B in grab range is freaking scary.

Which punish gets countered by GS A and when?

I think I've played agressively? Any advice? Im not really sure what else to use.

 

[Mavericks42O]

try some B+K for evade, alittle more GS options, and maybe some aB mixups to keep em guessing and hurt their gauge. also try to squeeze in some FC throws which will come with the GS mixups. nice fight hope to see more.

forgot about A+B, use it for some of those quick pokes it works.

3K and 1K become a frame trap. I think the punish was 236AA. Not sure, will check, if not a delayed NSS K will def beat it.

Sorry I dont understand =( Can you make a video maybe?
3K and 1K cannot be punished with 236AA...

Sorry let me order it.

WR { B } GS A should beat Cass's 236AA "punish". If not delayed NSS K should beat that punish.

EDIT: Im drunk, GS A doesnt beat it. delayed NSS K should beat it though.

3k, 1K should be frame traps from NH WR K and NH 11K. From here you can generate a strong grab mixup or if they flinch duck, give them a close range 33B.

As you are on positive frames, you can step forward as well to generate pressure.

YOu played well though. Just need more risks i think.

What kind of risks?

And 236A is guaranteed after WS B block. nothing can be done to counter that. Even if you manage to somehow catch the non-tc frames with NSS K, 2B+K - an excellent answer to NM stance, will CH anyway.

 

[Engared]

I say go down to NM's 5-6 moveset if you find you are being countered and use your mobility to kill her. Punish her whiffs with 33B and make her pay for every single whiff as Cass is rather linear.

Try close ranged 33B and more throws (im an advocate of this basic mixup lol). However you have to win the mind games and make him flinch by using lows, GS mixups, throws etc. Might sound hard but NM is a monster once you are able to.

 

[Belial]

Ok, I will try, thanks.

 

[Zane]

oh don't forget his UB cancel and his B+K cancel as well, excellent for mind games >=)
