Tech Nightwing - Corner Wakeup Reversals

TakeAChance

TYM White Knight
So, you are all familiar with Doomsday's dash forward reversing wake-up shenanigans in the corner right?

Nightwing can do it too! Against the entire cast after a naked u3 in the corner. A properly timed dash forward after splatting them with the U3 (hard knockdown) will make every single wake-up in the game reverse and guarantee Nightwing a full combo punish. This is especially helpful in the frost, Zod, Bane, Doomsday, MMH, Lex etc. match-ups where opponents have safe advancing specials...they become full punished combos.


The larger/taller the body, the more difficult the timing is. If the opponent does block your u3 (as in not gets splatted by it, you still are at 10 frames of advantage so it's useful to toss out as a check.)

The smaller bodied characters seem to be a lot more forgiving as far as the reversal timing. Great thing is if you go to early, you are still safe due to the nature of the splat.

This won't win you matches or change match-ups, but it's going to be a hell of a lot harder for KF and company to get out of the corner.


UPDATE!!!

Nightwing can also reverse wakeups off of a full combo in the corner.

Lift whiffs because the hitbox is reversed just like the Rocket

***For those of you wondering about the Robin skin, I created it and have not released it to the public yet.

Very nice. I knew you could do this but I did not know it worked on bigger bodied characters, guess I was timing it wrong. I'll have to play with it. The real test is my most hated WU 's >_> Wing evade and Mace charge lol

I named my dick Grayson
f213 xx escrima fury j3 112 112 xx excrima fury 113 xx ground spark dash foward

It does the same think and if you let the ground spark go it OTG's. Give it a try you'll see.

There's actually many ways to land this setup. As long as you're able to connect 112 112 xx ... you'll end up doing the wake up reversal.

Alright I'll post it. Just give me an hour of so because I'm in school right now. I never posted this setup because I though it was already known lol

so is this like an every time thing? why have we not been doing this? It seems too easy? is it tough to do consistently?
Look at the hight. I used to use this pre patch but stopped cause I sucked then lol. any combo with a low enough juggle state ended in 113 can be reversed with spark cancel, dash F. Even staff to Escrima conversions like

staff Corner:
J2,2,B3, jb 3, D2, 4xx EF, d2, EF, 113

you can spark and dash FWRD for the same result. once you get used to it you will notice the juggle timing and do it alot.
