But how do you get probes out against a character with the EX staff pound, which will dismiss armor and hit you, or wingdings, which will do the same thing? I mean I can EX at full screen and trade with his escrima stance ground projectiles, but he seems to be able to stop it from anywhere else.
You can get them out after a hard knockdown from Corp Charge. I'm pretty sure MB probes will come out even if you are hit by a wakeup after a corp charge.
I think for example, if you hit him with a corp, and throw out probes, he can do a wakeup that will hit you at range, but it will trade in your favor- he'll hit you, but you'll recover from the hit just as probes fire. He'll get clipped by the probes, making him vulnerable.
Also, I like to end all my combos on Nightwing with a cancel into a mine (assuming the combo has him airborne). Mines really screw with him when he's in staff stance.
A pretty simple combo to rush him with after you've got probes out would be:
F2 (or B13)- MB grav pull, B3 Ji2, 11-mine
Nightwing will land directly on the mine if he doesn't tech roll. I'm pretty sure he can't wake-up out of it either, but I should probably test this in practice mode.
If he is caught in the mine, you can dash towards him and B3, Ji2, 11-mine and repeat the process until he recognizes he needs to tech it to get out of the loop, which should give you the room you need.
