Playing as Batgirl against Nighwing, I just beat the computer on Medium using ONLY smoke bomb, air smoke bomb, and back to block.
As Nightwing, do not:
- jump to close distance.
- jump to wing-ding.
- use ground spark at greater than half screen.
- whiff a combo string up close.
- meter burn the Staff Spin if she is ducking.
Batgirl can read and punish all using smoke bomb. If she meter burns it, she gets a free combo. Basically, get in her face and keep the pressure up. I find staff stance easier at the moment, alternating 1f1, d1, d3, j1, and meterless Staff Spin. Crouch block and dash to get in close, but don't attack until you are close enough that you know you'll hit.
And just so we're clear, she won't be "spamming" the smoke bomb. She can just sit back and wait for you to commit to damn near anything, then punish. If she pegs you with the smoke bomb, she bounces to the other end of the screen and you have to work to get in close again. However, if Batgirl tries a smoke bomb and you're blocking, she stays in close and you get a free combo.
This matchup sucks... Hopefully someone can come up with something more constructive than this.
