lol Ogre to me is very good character, he has wake-up options defense and offence, alot of damage (flashy) input isn’t hard for the amount of damage he puts out, full screen punish, very easy hit confirms, mix-up overhead in his target combos. So from using Nina which i prefer her cr.lk, ivory cutter, Skull splitter, high low mix up and easy ability to evade zoners, her footsie game is better. And with the damage she puts out is ridiculous, Ogre coming in doing his damage then bring Nina back in or if Nina bad match up is raping her i switch her out. She lacks wake-up defense with out meter so thats when i bring in Ogre.

With Nina as anchor and meter you always have better reversal options, and can punish them for hitting a button with ex geyser. Even if they down back you, you can spend a meter for the command grab as long as they don’t read it and throw a low out. I haven’t used much ex splitter, but im sure you could use it on reaction at mid range.

79

As i said i like her footsies better than Ogre’s footsies and Ancient Power hits behind him.
And i like Ogre wake up mix up game better then Nina, so when i get that damaging combo with Nina and bring in Ogre i can get most out of there bad wake-up…

Has anyone thought brought about the serious idea of Kazuya/Nina? Sure, there a stock team, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work really well together. I’m currently investing a lot of training time into Kazuya and I’m looking for a partner. I tried Lili, but she scales way too much so I’m going to use Alioune’s team of Nina/Lili for that. But thats beside the point. And since people in the Kazuya thread don’t know what a freaking partner thread is then I’m just going to each potential partner and asking about the thoughts of others.

I’ve just dropped Poison for Nina/Kazuya. It seems like a match made in heaven. St. mp seems like a decent anti-air.
st. MP xx axe kick (tag in kazuya) st. HP EWGF, st. HP EWGF, EWGF = 431 of an anti air. :eek:

I just picked her up like 5 minutes ago. I’m sure there’s tons of good stuff. :tup:

82

Right now I’ve been using Nina/Hugo, and a jump in/anti air for 400+ is crazy hahah. Nina’s Footsies and Hugo’s stupid damage makes me love this team.

83

for real. even just hugo combo into ex lariat tag nina bnb is so insane.

84

I love Nina, (gonna buy her School Girl outfit tonight) but Hugo is a character I hate so much. The damage he does is ridiculous.

85

nina has a school girl outfit?

86

Oh yeah, for her DLC. At least that’s what the leaked shoryuken post said last month. If she doesn’t have it I’d be a little upset. Her Rolento army outfit is cool, but I want school girl Nina to match my dominating Lili. Classic relationship. lol

Was looking for a good anchor and started messing around with Nina in training mode. Easy 450dmg for 1bar off an A2A CH is sexy.

Going to try her out with Guile on point as battery. She is a beast with meter, and Guile’s long boost combo range gets her up close pretty easily so she wont have to work her way in.

88

Any thoughts on Nina/Abel ? Im curious on the Synergy between them two.

89

nina balrog is pretty good but no zoning options. balrog hits pretty hard and has good health.

90

Is she working well at point? I was just going to inquire about if she’s a better point or anchor…
I’m contemplating Raven, Julia and Akuma for teammates with her.

91

uh? how?
atm i have no idea what to do after A2A CH and i havent seen anybody doing it on videos.

92

He’s probably doing something like this:
A2A CH hp/hk, cr.hp xx EX Skullsplitter, backhand slap sequence.
A very very slightly more damaging combo would be:
A2A CH hp/hk, cr.hp xx EX Skullsplitter, mp Skullsplitter, cr.hp xx blonde bomb(light)>>>> this combo is more damaging and takes up less time.

Not always you’ll be able to hit the cr.hp after a CH, so cr.mk is more reliable but less damaging.

93

its better to end in backslap since its hard knockdown

94

Hard knockdowns are definately something Nina needs, if you have 1 meter to burn anyway might as well tag cancel into your partner, even better.

95

I am either going to run Nina/King or Hwaorang/King. Do you think that Nina/King can work? They have tremendous offensive synergy, but I feel unsafe playing two characters who have trouble waking up.

96

hwo is better
