I would just like to disscuss tools that Nightmare has that you don't see used very often. For me its got to be 1B. I find it to be one of my best tools for mix-ups, but I dont see other Nightmares using it.

That's because 1B is bad. Easy to step with high recovery on whiff, easy to block on reaction, and is unsafe there too. I think it might have that pseudo-safety if you place it at tip range, but any slight movement to the left or right from your opponent and this move whiffs.
And it's definitely not a mix-up tool on players at intermediate levels and higher; it's as easy to react to as 1A. It probably just seems like a mix-up because of the "WTF was that move?" fact since it rightfully goes virtually unimplemented. It's one purpose in the world is as an opener against the 85% of online players who think they're clever because they start every round with a backdash. Keep in mind, this move does kill backdash like a mofo, but loses super hard to walking backwards. I think it might do okay against backroll too.
His not-seen-very-often-but-actually-useful moves are pretty much things like BB/2B/9K/4K. I really like his BB. Encourages step attempts without being overly terrible, puts them in crouch on block which lends some predictability to the situation. It's nice.
B-b-but FC 3B has frame 1 TC and only does 8 less damage.You should be whiff punishing ducked highs with this if you can, like Algol's 6bb.

Against Asta in which situations? I could you some of your knowledge :DI use 66B+K to smack Yoshi's out of the Air and sometimes I use it against Astaroth.
66B+K's TJ frames start on frame 13, so as long as you use it at frame advantage you will be able to jump over most fast lows. It does decent guard damage, but its not capable of actually guard breaking. :(
Is WR A a TC? If so, that makes it even better than I previously thought :)
I'm only asking this because I swear it ducked under a high last night. I might be trippin' though :)
