Question Do You Honestly Think Nightwing Is Underrated?

[FOREVER EL1TE]

Just a general question. I believe that Nightwing is not mid tier. I believe that he is secret high tier. He has a few bad mu's and goes even with 90% of the top 10 cast. He has maybe top 10 corner game and top 5 or 6 Range/footsie game. He has immensely good pressure and 50/50s. Also High damage

..... Lol this thread will inevitably become a downplay thread.

I think nightwing is a solid mid tier that does very well against many characters but has a few horrendous matchups. Overall fun to play though.

Nope.

But I feel he is better than mid tier

He's mid tier or upper mid.I would peg him top 15, no way in hell he's near top 5. Maybe he's 10-15. Just gets bodied in a few mus and loses a lot more than the top tier characters.

For the record, NW only has 2 solid 3-7s. His 4-6s are not as bad as ppl make them out to be. That all just depends on the fundamentals of the NW player imo

I think he's right behind DD

NW can be pocket-counter picked so no, not S tier. He has S tier elements but is not an S tier character due to the problems he runs into regarding certain MU's. In other words, NW is not balanced.

 

[Dudley Dowork]

I think he is bottom 5 tbh. He has dirt just like everyone else but it's just not that good.

 

[The Slaj Jazz]

Yes, Ive always thought so

 

[Braindead]

He isn't.
And what high damage are you talking about?

His really high damage combos are situational and very difficult execution-wise, so they are far from BnBs. I wouldn't say he has high damage.

 

[PND OmegaK]

I think he is better than what most people say, but he is not way top 10.

 

[Ra Helios]

No. He is really good. NightWing pressure is really good and his d1s. I'm going to give you to this straight. A lot of people down play NightWing because they SUCK!!!!! (For the people that play him and for the people that plays against night wings that are really not that good.)

 

[Vak Phoenix]

lolno

The Helios has spoken.

Dear Nightwing community, you all suck.

 

[Filipino Man]

No I think he sucks.

 

[Chuckychuck]

No I think he sucks.

Care to elaborate?

 

[Rude]

I think Nightwing is a solid character, but maybe up-played a bit by people who don't even play the character.

 

[KillaGthug4Life]

His extremely bad mobility in Staff mode is what keeps him at mid tier imao. Just because of that he's already at a disadvantage to any power characters and any stage where characters can throw things at him. Suffers too much from free intractable damage. And Escrima is not very good, lacks pressure and high damaging combos. Moves are punishable and his zoning is average at best. He gets all his gusto from everything plus in Staff.

 

[JDM]

Yes he's underrated. Nightwing players just suck imo

 

[FOREVER EL1TE]

He isn't.

40% 1 bat combos.
50% with 2

 

[Braindead]

40% 1 bat combos.
50% with 2

Oh you consider 40% with 1 bar is high? Don't some other characters get like 45%+ with one bar?

Yes he's underrated. Nightwing players just suck imo
