Match-up Discussion HeroesNZ's Optimistic Nightwing MU Chart

The NW forums are infamous for downplaying their character, so I'd thought I'd upplay him for once. All I've done is turn some of his debatable losing and one of his debatable winning MUs into an optimistic number. It's also in alphabetical order for all of you Grammar Nazis.

Aquaman - 5-5 - Even when I'm upplaying it'll just feel wrong to put this as 6-4 NW (Sorry Murk). Interactables are just too stronk.
Ares - 6-4
Bane - 6-4 - Bane can't just keep abusing NW like he does other characters because as NW has several quick-hitting strings/specials that break his armour (113, Wingdings). NW can also punish charge from all ranges by jumping over and GP-ing (or B2-ing, depends on the distance). It's not much but it helps.
Batgirl - 5-5
Batman - 5-5
Black Adam - 5-5 - Staff Stance is the way-to-go imo. Standing 1, B1 and D3 are all great tools that we can abuse in the neutral. After a SS HKD we can 2 xx Flipkick which beats his wakeups. After the patch it just doesn't feel like he has as much of an advantage as he used to.
Catwoman - 5-5
Cyborg - 3-7 (Hitbox Cyborg Doe)
Deathstroke - 5-5
Doomsday - 5-5
Flash - 5-5
Green Arrow - 6-4
Green Lantern - 4-6
Harley Quinn - 5-5
Hawkgirl - 4-6
Joker - 6-4
Killer Frost - 5-5 - Her zoning is meh. It's pretty much whoever gets started first has the advantage. Her neutral is meh. The best thing she has against us is parry but even that is a double-edged sword.
Lex Luthor - 5-5
Lobo - 5-5
Martian Manhunter - 5-5
Raven - 5-5
Scorpion - 7-3
Shazam - 6-4
Sinestro - 4-6
Solomon Grundy - 6-4
Superman - 4-6 - His zoning is much easier to get around now and after that he becomes like Wonder Woman but without that troublesome B2. His F23 pressure is easier to deal with midscreen, just interrupt with D1/113 (depends on the stance), backdash or MB B3. He has many wakeups but most are punishable. Flipkick on KD is a good option because it either reverses the inputs into a wakeup that gets stuffed (Scoop) or into nothing at all because it's not an OS-wakeup (Flying Punch).
Wonder Woman - 5-5 - The neutral is even as NW can abuse his B1, S1 and D3, however she has IA dashes which can be hard to deal with. On KD we can both abuse each-other.
Zatanna - 5-5 - Her zoning is pretty whatever against NW as his dash is really quick and completely avoids her Trance after Rings so getting in is literally just block-dash-repeat. The only things that save her are trait and teleport. She's hard to oki and her trait is pretty troublesome. Just don't get knocked down in Staff or else she'll activate trait and go ham.
Zod - 4-6

I'll probably add some more descriptions later but in any case, I started with the more controversial ones.

Winning - 7
Even - 16
Losing - 6

Feels good to upplay.

Aquaman 5-5??? BLASPHEMY!!! SUPERMAN 5-5??? BLASPHEMY!!!

Still nice numbers. I approve

My opinion on mus is not including any interactables which is one of the reasons why I will always say NW/aquaman is 6-4 NW.

I think I went a bit too far with the Superman number lol (I was hella feeling myself), but the rest are all fairly plausible.
