I used Chun/Nina
It’s so hard to get used to blonde bomb not being two punches foward it screws my game but they both are good on footsies and that gives me lots of tag combos and they heal while the other is zoning.
Ya the more I play against better players the more I see the downsides of the team. Wake up options are pretty hard for both of them, plus I’m not in the habit of using cross cancels, so when rekka characters or ones with lots of long block string options I find it hard to get out sometimes. I still think the team might be good, I’ll keep putting in work.
I have been running Ryu / Nina atm and Nina is really good even without gems ( which is what i am playing with cause i want to get ready for tournament play)
Locked in Nina tonight after a week of going through characters. Damage is just to good.
Pairing her with Sagat for good zoning/meter building plus damage. I was dabbling with Cross Art tonight, and got up to 628.
I used to use hugo, but found he’s too easy to keep out. I had two different players cross art my nina so she couldn’t heal, and then just turtle out hugo with rolento. Stand strong beats all of hugo’s jump in attacks. No go on the ground either. Right now I’m using ken as my second.
A few suggestions:
Jin/Nina - more for setups than damage. Multi-hitting special lock them in while they have to guess on her ambiguous cross ups
Nina/Akuma - stupid damage/meter build and where Nina lacks in counter poking (specifically against the SF cast), Akuma has plenty to make up for. DP tag in is free.
My current team is Nina/Sagat or Ryu. Roughly 380+ across the board, and has enough meter to sit on so she can get actual mix ups other than blowing up people who just like to hit buttons for no reason.
Nina/Hugo swag.
Same here.
They both have good footsies and Nina can also rushdown.
Still trying to move away from Hugo… I keep relying on gimmicks it’s only gonna get worse later. Tried using Nina/Asuka but don’t really feel much synergy between the two, but also just not really feeling Asuka atm. Gonna try Ken/Juri again, after reviewing this thread gonna give Chun a try too. Still haven’t gotten around to Jin/Kazuya. I keep finding Nina getting better everyday while I still can’t find a second character I like yet.
I was using Marduk but he is bad. I tried to use Asuka but she seems pretty weak. None of my mains are in this game so Ive basically had to start again. I actually hated Nina in Tekken, I didnt feel any personality from her character and I found her boring to play in that game so I was avoiding using her until the last resort. So tonight I pulled her out and just went to work on a few friends in Endless Battle and without any training just felt some kind of link, having despised her so long I actually like her in this game. Im training with her and Raven or Bob tomorrow night to see what sort of synergy there is.
Nina works really well with Rolento.
I’d wanna learn this team just for the matching DLC costume for Nina. But I also imagine it works pretty well. Who do you think is better on point?
I think some charge characters stand out more than others, but Bison is more on the ass side than he is on the decent side. Sad to say, but after many years of him being my main, I’ve had to drop him for Kazuya to go with Nina. That’s my team, for now,
Right now im doing Nina/Juri and it is working out quite well. That poison pandora combo(its in the combo thread) is actually even easier and does more damage with Juri. If Nina has some gems on as well the whole thing does about 900 damage. Not bad for a combo that is simply an alternative to her BnB. Situational as pandora is its nice to have. Other than that Juri and Nina really have amazing damage together. The team only needs 2-3 hits to kill any character in the cast outside of a hugo with all defensive gems. I just need to work on my Nina so that I can actually open people up to get that damage. Can’t rely on j.hp forever. I need to get just a big training session in where I work
I’m using a Guile/Nina team and highly enjoying it. This the most fun Guile I’ve played since CvS2. I can build meter quite fast with Guile on point then bring Nina in with full meter and do a whole lot of damage.
I fell in love with my Nina/Julia team.
Female brute force. Nina with the +60vit and 2 meter gems.
Don’t need much meter with her and Julia… well, her super.
Concidering to play some nina, would kazuya/heihachi work well with her, im assmung nina should be on point?
Started playing around with a Nina/Lili combination and its pretty good. My Lili is pretty weak at the moment so I wasnt sure if the team up was good. I was on the verge of giving Lili up but then I went to check her out in the replay channel and Alioune is using a Nina/Lili team too and it looks great, definitely made me want to keep practicing with that team up. He was quite consistently pulling off 450 to 500 damage combos with 1 meter tag cancels off Ninas Ivory Cuttter mostly and some solid combos off launchers too. Really opened my eyes as to whats possible with this team in a variety of match ups.
Any thoughts on Kazuya/Nina?
Im trying to decide on who to use with Nina. Either Xiaoyu or Lili. They both set up good damage for Nina and vise versa but I just cant decide
