Death by Degree - The Nina combo thread

Meterless.

(starter) xx Geyser, cr.HP xx Skull Splitter, cr.HP xx Skull Splitter, Ivory Cutter/Launch/BB Your choice though the first is almost always the best.

With one bar? Tag Cancel the Ivory Cutter…I’m serious. Nina really has no reason to use any other combo unless your team ABSOLUTELY requires it.

Thanks.

Can you give me some hints for the timing of the Skull splitters so that the Ivory Cutter hits? The height I have to hit them or sth like that

The second Skull Splitter has to hit late, like meaty. Two ways you can do this. One, you can just time both cr.HP xx Skull Splitters to hit at around or a bit above Nina’s head or two, let the opponent drop a bit lower for the first Skull Splitter then IMMEDIATELY do the second cr.HP xx Skull Splitter.

Cool stuff, thanks

Time to practice this lol.
I’ve been doing starter x Geyser, c.HP x Geyser, cr.HP x BB/j.HK x TC.
Yours sounds way better lol.

What’s the current tag in combo? I’ve been doing s.MP, c.HP x M Geyser, BB.
I’m assuming some skull splitter stuff?

I didn’t think you could get a c.HP after a launch.
It’s probably just because Julia’s launch doesn’t launch high enough
I’ll hit the lab when I get home and see what I can do. s.MP x SS, cr.HP x SS, Ivory Cutter should work although the damage would be little less.

You can, the timing for it is really tricky though since if you do it too soon you’ll actually cross under the opponent and whiff entirely and of course, too late and you just whiff it in front of them.

So it looks like I can get the cr.HP on a tag from Julia. It’s just a really tight timing

And what’s the trick to getting the Ivory cutter at the end of the SS BnB? So far I’ve been too late every time.

Like I said above, the second Skull Splitter has to hit late so the opponent stays high enough for Ivory Cutter to actually land. So you have to juggle your opponent high. Read the two ways above.

Ah. I am retarded. Thank you sir!

I’ve upped my double SS combo proficiency to around 80%. I’ve made the second SS really consistent now.

So now that Nina has a legit AA, her mix up off her cr. fierce AA is now more dangerous. She can do cr. fierce into medium command dash/light and choose which side she’ll be on. From there, you can do stand strong link into cr. fierce xx geyser cannon if they’re not blocking it or CADC out of BB if they are.

EDIT: I hate the new SS loops. They feel so foreign to me now. I use to never drop them, now I’m hitting it like 40% of the time. You have to let them fall further due to her faster cr. fierce. Ugh, so weird.

It actually feels easier after I adjusted to the new timing.
I’m really only using them for her incoming tag combos. Since Regular Geysers do more if I’m going to TC the Ivory Cutter.

[Dodeka]

I just use st.MP to adjust the height after the first cr.HPxxSS. As long as you hit the cr.HP portion low the st.MP is almost always the correct height. The difference in damage isn’t too much either.

So I put together a basic combo video featuring Lars and everyone’s favorite blonde assassin.

Nothing too fancy, but I figured no one would mind if I posted it >.>

Some of the Pandora combos are fun though
