SFxT General Discussion #4 - Witty title

Is Nina actually Kitty Pryde?

Because I swear to God, I’ve seen my limbs phase through hers at least 10 times in the past hour.

Need Anti-Nina guide.

Man, I don’t see how you couldn’t have a foot fetish. They’re very sexily underrated. Something about the work they do, such a crucial part of the body.

Anybody without a degree of foot fetish just hasn’t seen some sexy-ass feet.

It’s about time everyone started using Elena…that makes me happy I’m not gonna lie lool

How can you NOT use Elena? She’s an overall solid character, and has a lovable personality to boot. :3

Exactly, the sooner people realize this the better

Nope. I can offer some consolation though. Nina mainers disgust me as well. 50/50s unblockables retardedly solid ground game. All of them will burn in hell don’t worry. >:(

Don’t have a “full” anti-Nina guide, but after a few games against a couple of different Nina players, Nina doesn’t seem be able to punish a st.lk xx st.mp boost from Elena. None of Nina’s moves that are “fast” enough actually reach (st.mp, cr.mp, and cr.mk all miss), and the ones that do reach are too slow to actually punish (and all those moves are - on block anyway). So you can use it as a safe-confirm vs her in footsies.

You gotta teach me how to deal with that chick. Seriously, I didn’t know what to do. It felt like 3S Chun all over again.

Mods delete lordwilliam’s post. He’s colluding =(

(I’m joking)

@the7k

I dun wanna T-T. (I already posted it earlier. I’ll copy and paste it in a bit.)

Is Abel a LLLMHH character? All the Abels I have faced so far do this. And on a laggy match it gets annoying, specially when they are mashing command grabs and armored chain of direction. Maybe I am just unfamiliar with the match up in this game.

I plan on learning Elena for USF4, I think she will be pretty cheap and have crazy high/low mix-ups in USF4.

@the7k "Elena VS Nina boils down to this.

Elena st.HK/ B+HK > Nina SS and cr.mk/HK
Elena Scratch wheel > Nina Ivory Cutter
Elena Scratch wheel < Nina cr.MK
Nina lk Geyser > Elena st.HK/ B+HK, Mallet Smash, LK Scratch wheel, Rhino Horn
Nina SS> Pretty much all of your crouching attacks

My only advice is block low a lot until she comes into cr.mp range and punish SS with st.lk. And you can harass Nina with st.lk > Lk lynx. That’s pretty much all I got though. xD

Also you forgot her best block string cr.MK > EX Rolling dash > Back hand 200 damage for blocking son. xD"

Pretty this is how I’d approach it.

Grabbing a EX Rhino horn with King’s AA grab feels so good

YOU main Nina you ass-hat! xD

Kind of. He has a few decently powerful juggles which help post tag/launch, but his confirms primarily lead into boost chains. Not always, but many-a-time.

Cause it IS 3S Chun all over again…almost. It’s not too far off from the general feel of fighting 3S Chun.

I REJECT.

But dat ass dough…>_>

Nope I don’t main Nina. Such accusations are akin to treason.

Sidenote: I suck so much ass at playing on stick in this game it’s insane, but in SF4 I can use the stick just fine. Also on stick I can hit 1 frame links a lot easier than on controller and I could plink on stick much easier than controller. Woe is me. =(

bite those words boy

<puts on hipster shades> Been using her pretty much since the DLC characters were released… But to be fair I didn’t really start maining her on a team till pretty recently.

I think the mixups off of Lynx Tail and EX Rhino will be even more powerful in that game since there are no rolls.

I wouldn’t have even bought this game if Elena weren’t in it, to be honest.

Did the same with Marvel and Felicia, but… damn. Even the strongest love can not conquer a game built on hate.

Speaking of hate, this is for you, Frosty.

And that’s from the heart.

Every time I played against you (outside of less than 5 matches), Nina was there ruining my day. You used her more than Elena. How could she NOT be your main go-to gal?
