Nightwing In Retirement
I'm broke, I'm barely able to afford going to NEC + MMing King and Fox. Maybe if I win (ha) but I at least want to introduce myself, after all I'd be worse then GuamoKun if it wasn't for his vids.
You better find me. Have a sign that says my name or something like a driver at an airport.

I am confused, does the NW community think he's like super good, mid tier, or a shitter?
Mid tier.

Mid tier.
I'll be the dapper fellow wearing a "I got babied bro on stream" bib. I like to think it powers me up akin to Brads Rose shirt or Smarrs yellow shirt.

You blew me up online, then I went to practice mode and looked at the frame data and recorded the strings and cancels you did.

Also before playing against you I thought staff spin was punishable by a 6 frame starter, lol.

Also I consider losing the last match on purpose, and then saying "I have to go", a joy quit and a half, next time were calling a FT# lol


Actually, you were partly right. You can punish the start up of any special Nightwing does in staff after d1. Thank NRS for 1.03 on that one. Fucking horseshit. You can also outright parry staff spin, so if you think I might wakeup with it, just stand in my face and parry. It's a read though - big risk, but it can condition a nightwing to calm the fuck down on wakeup.

Honestly, I'm really not good enough to be sandbagging. When I lose like that it's because I'm getting bodied. If you felt as if I weren't trying in that last match - I don't mean to disappoint. There really isn't a goddamned thing NW can do about j2 on wakeup when in escrima stance. And j2 online is a fucking infinite on me.

It also explains why I was whiffing j3 in the air and then doing delayed wingdings. Nightwing's d2 AT BEST will trade with Batman's j2. I mean at very best. So yeah, I was doing j3 a lot to air2air you. The times you saw the delayed wingdings are when I made the wrong read and I'm trying to cover my ass.

I don't usually put a value to how many matches I play online. My goal is to get 10,000 online matches played by the end of the year - so in actuality I'm always looking to play more. It was 1am and I like to be productive in the morning. Hence why I left. If you felt offended by me leaving - that wasn't my intention.

So here we go, me blocking the mixup:

GGA Slips

I didn't mention in the video either, that if NW ever tries something like stand 1 into mb ground blast, they can block the first hit and backdash the second, meaning I don't get any of the plus frames from mb blast.

So yeah, you can react to the mixup, everybody calm down.
If you recorded NW's action how can you trust in these results? Subconciouslly you know what he's going to do next. :confused:

Well props to you I guess but I can't see that shit lol. To me they look similar up until the end and by the time I see its an overhead its too late. To each his own.

You know what? You're right bro. It's a fuckin infinite. Hold forward and MB. Clash your way out and don't let him in again. Apparently this is what everyone wants to hear. The argument is settled. Staff stance vs. blocking is a 10-0 MU and push blocking isn't a thing.

I'm talking about reacting to s.2 and Ground Pound. Showing it by recording the dummy himself takes away from the validity of the experiment. He needs to have someone else controlling NW and him defending.

If IGAU had the option Tekken provides of making several CPU recordings and playing them back at different intervals and frequencies then we could practice a lot more scenarios.

you do the full minute recording and interupt it. then pick up where it leaves off.

This just in. According to Carl he missed the Podcast because of the timezone difference. Carl said he was ready around 8 or 9 but @GGA Slips texted him back a little after 11 saying that everyone else was ready and he was too tired. Is this a legit excuse @GGA 16 Bit ?
 

EMPEROR_THEO

I only use characters with wakeup scoops.
its one thing to use another char for a 3-7 even though the counterpicked character STILL loses the matchup.

and when I did use joker vs the same player to put him in losers bracket in the same exact 3-7 matchup.

im not condemning theo for wanting to win, i just thought he was a char loyalist and i liked watching his supes
I still use Superman though.

Saying Nightwing can outzone Cyborg and then saying he's bottom 5 makes about as much sense as Tom Brady calling us arrogant fucks and then saying he's got no problem with us.

I said CAN he outzone Cyborg, until K7 convinced me he can't. Amazing how the switching of "CAN he" and "he CAN" makes me sound so dumb.

The thing about Cyborg vs NW I should have said on the podcast if you do an IANB you will recover in time to block his ground fireball thing. OR jump over his ground pounds and shoot a NB low enough so you are constantly winning trades. NW might be able to zone in some mu's def not that one. Thats a rough one for NW.

So, if I know a Nightwing is going to mb ground pound where ever on the screen and I block the first hit I can backdash the second hit?
