Any setups or situations where nw can get a guaranteed grab and the opponent cant backdash or press a button and is forced to tech?

After a deep J3, after MB Ground Spark etc...
I like to do D12 throw and a few D1s in staff, then throw.

He got tired of NW's faults as a character and eventually lost interest.
Yeah I remember him saying stuff like I had enough and so on, but he like completely vanished. You'd think he'd pick up another character or something.

His name is NightWingDayZero. Idk if he really cares about any other character.

Same thing happened for gpmoney and Sajam, too.

K.

Positives:

-Decent pressure, no real 50-50s tho

-Easy to learn fast and requires basic execution.

-Strong corner game

- Can be played in different styles

-D1

Negatives:


- Mobility

- Free to lack of air control, interactables, zoning, (See mobility)

-Has bugs

- Plenty of losing MUs


Ovverall, I think NW is a solid mid tier character who deals with the top tier (BG, AM, MMH Flash, but def not Zod), making him a great pocket character for your mains bad MUs. Usually it's one of those top 5. I would suggest having a secondary, though.

So after a regular Escrima Fury if you do F3 J2 113, then quickly dash in and do U3, it makes most wake-ups whiff and it crosses up if they decide not to wake-up.

It's known, isn't it? Is it a good setup or not really useful?

Its very character specific but it has its uses.

So I have been in the lab trying to get through Cyborg's IANBs with Flip Kicks. It sounds dumb but it could actually work if it had only a couple frames less on recovery.

You can get through some IANBs and block/duck the next one but the timing is insanely strict and it depends on the height of every Nova Blast.

I thought I was onto something here, I was so close :(
