Strategy The Boy Wonder! -- Nightwing General Discussion Thread

[TakeAChance]

Everyone is turning on us Nightwing users. Seriously, I don't know what the hell they are supposed to tweak on this character...he is really really good, but he is nowhere close to broken.

 

[Chongo]

HUG ME BROTHAS <3 <3 WE LIVE FOR TOMORROW!

 

[Saitsu]

Yeah, but...we also have to pour a little out for all of those hurt by NRS.

Poor Harley.

Harley got nerfed... why?

 

[Saitsu]

And the ultimate casualty.

He may have given Dick hell over the years...but he's always been a worthy opponent.

Here Lies Slade Wilson.

So for overview, the only needed nerf that happened was making freeze breath -1 right?

He's talking about Deathstroke.

No I know, but what I mean is that I see a lot of unnecessary nerfs like with deathstroke but the only good one was freeze breath

Ohhhh ok my bad. They made Cyborgs air projectiles a high now, which is pretty big.

 

[Saitsu]

Just check all the patch notes.

Oh right good point, so two good nerfs, and seriously hurting other characters for no reason...

 

[DuskAlloy]

Just read over the patch notes, some dumb changes like with solomon and his trait grab

no one needs unclashable 30% , no one (ignore that nightwing has clashless combos ....)

 

[Saitsu]

It was fine. You could clash the first part of Pain Chain, it made you have to decide quick whether to Clash or risk taking the damage.

 

[SilverKeyMan]

Thankfully we are untouched. I feel like it is only a matter of time before people realize how good Nightwing is, and demand "balancing".

 

[Georgie]

Did they really make supes ice breath -1? I didn't see it in the patch notes.

 

[Saitsu]

Ground Blast would be the most likely subject to that.

Anyway, we have to refocus matchup knowledge on Sinestro now. With Slade getting Kano'd, he's going to be the main Zoner of Injustice for the time being.

 

[Cosmic_Castaway]

Being honest here, I don't think anyone really understands Nightwing enough to buff or nerf him. But in my opinion, he's almost perfect the way he is. Literally the only thing he potentially needs is a dedicated/consistent anti-air in escrima.

Also, can we talk about the NW play at ECTV? I slept through signups because I'm a derp, but real rap, y'all need to not use Staff so much. Every time I looked at a screen, any NW playing would be in Staff. And my friend Nas (WW player; entered the tournament as Winterfell) told me that like no one was using Escrima. C'mooonnnnn guys. D:

 

[Saitsu]

While Escrima plays an important part, in most matchups Staff is just straight superior.

 

[Cosmic_Castaway]

And then we look at how many Nightwing mains were in top 8-16, and realize we need to rethink how we're approaching things.

 

[Georgie]

I strictly use escrima in the green lantern matchup because staff lacks mobility. Also for most matchups i switch up my escrima with staff on almost every blockstring, F213 4xx staff spin xx 4 or sometimes i meter burn the staff spin for that +18 too good.

As I wasn't there to participate, nor were a good amount of people on here...what basis do you have of that?

That none of them won? There was more rep from characters that straight up aren't as good as Nightwing.

 

[Saitsu]

That none of them won? There was more rep from characters that straight up aren't as good as Nightwing.

Because more players who play different characters were there? And they were better players?

That's like condemning the methodology of Aquaman because Brady didn't show up to a tourney and every other player ran into killers.

The best players in the game right now don't main Nightwing. That alone will make it hard for him to actually make an impact.

I'll be sure to Top 8 the next major I go to though just for you.
