Defender of Bludhaven: Nightwing General Thread

I’ll just copy & paste this from the TYM thread:

Sup Dickheads?!
So after spending some time on other characters like YOLO Lantern & Barbara (check out my combo vids for those on my channel if you like) I went into ranked with my Dick and played some matches…some were actually pretty good skill level wise etc. so I thought I should just upload them in 4 parts (3 matches & different chars per part) so maybe some new nightwing players can learn…TO ABUSE WING DINGS lol check this shit

But for real, the other parts will actually feature some nice gameplay against chars like Bane, I know newer players have problems against the BIG dudes.

Part 2 is up:

STB TakeAChance has granted us more Dick Tech. I can’t wait to try it out in a match.

It’s nice to see this put together in a video and also shown how to set it up nicely but crossup flying grayson on wakeup is kinda old news isn’t it? I do it alot to finish people off near the end because they’re basically never ready for it and you’re also pretty much safe…but for real I’m not hating it’s always better to see something explained and DONE in a video, good stuff!

Crossup Flying Grayson itself IS old news (I even have a bit on it in the OP), however this is a blatant setup for it.

ok just making sure…did you see the tech aris posted btw.? it’s no nightwing tech but overall tech I think nightwing could really benefit from in combination with his flipkick or maybe even scatter bomb if you expect a up rising kinda wake up move etc. here is the vid

Wow…that’s interesting. Do me a favor, post that on the NW GenDis in TYM and on the Injustice Gen Dis here. Let’s get to work on this.

Posted it over at TYM, but can’t really find the general dis thread here sry :smiley:

…It’s the first thread in the Injustice page…

These characters who have the ability to fly are vulnerable as soon as they are done attacking from the air. Once they finish their move, Flying Grayson the fuck out of them when they drop. From here on just apply pressure. In staff mode just start from 2, J1, 1, Flying grayson. I never have problems with flying charcters.

Cancel into escrima fury, J3, wing ding for a good 20%

b2 xx Fury doesn’t actually connect from over half the range of b2.

b2, 3 xx Fury connects from near max range.

b2~4 xx Ground Blast connects everywhere.

thanks for the info. I don’t use b2 too often, but now I guess I know more alternatives for combos.

I’m starting to figure out the timing to land a b3 after a meterless Escrima Fury a lot better.

That post was from around launch. I know of his dangerous options now

Really? Im trying that right now I cant seem to get it to connect.

You have to hold forward for a bit before going for the b3.

Normally, the b3 is a pixel or two too short to connect, so you have to move forward a tad. The timing will feel a bit weird but luckily Nightwing’s b3 timing for most combos is late anyway.

So far I can only connect meterless b3 in a corner. Im gonna give this a try right now.

Basically what I do is, when I hit the Fury, I hold forward and continue holding forward until I want to do the b3. It feels REALLY funky at first.

After fury the opponent drops though. How close to the ground can they be while I walk forward to do b3?

Decently.

Think of it as a late b3 more than anything. Just with holding forward inbetween.

Keep in mind this is not a necessary combo or tactic. I don’t expect anyone to actually add this to their BnB’s.
