A good IAD beats Nu.
I think a lot of times it’s just easier to fix the problem characters than to buff the rest of the cast. While I agree buffing others and keeping Nu as she is would probably make more people happy, it creates the potential for a whole lot more balance issues.
I’ll stick without the teleport, thanks. I know most of the Rachel population wants to keep you as close as possible, unless they are putting something out. Either way, there are better ways to do it than teleporting.
Give us another super. Like… 0f pumpkin summon, and we’ll be amused.
Nu’s Tager/Rachel only combos do ridiculous damage. And since she usually lands them doing TK crescent saber > rc her mixup game becomes even better against them.
Since Rachel and Arakune can rarely summon anything while fighting her, they lose part of what makes them S-tier status.

Jin is just a really solid character. He isn’t broken. To mash out of ice you have press left and right in rapid succession.
I think that you could do that against bang as well.
You could reduce her negative penalty modifier so she can’t run away as much without getting it.
i like some of the ideas here
This honestly can’t wait until after SBO?
Giving Nu a damage nerf are you fucking kidding?
While I’m all for balancing Nu, the question really is how.
My problem with her is what someone else said. Its a very boring, and hard fight. Either you get in, or you don’t. If you don’t, you are blocking 90% of the time, watching her chip away at your health. Bursting does you now good because she is halfway across the screen. If you get in, you have to be fast as likely there is a Burst coming, and then its back to standing at a distance and blocking. Or, worse yet, she beats you on the poke, combos the hell out of you, and you still end up half way across the screen and blocking D heavy pressure strings.
I admit, I lol’d.
dont kid yourself, they’re easy
haha, the truth.
Yeah, no single thing Inoue does is particularly difficult. What makes him good is knowing how it all fits together and how his opponent will react to it.
w0w ppl seem mad here
If they nerf anything about her it should be the backdash. She is too good at running away when you actually get close, maybe make it a little tougher. Also they can somehow make it so if your burst hits her swords she gets knocked back/stunned.
Maybe take away her massive, repeatable blockstring. Or take RC out of the game, since she is the only one it helps anyways.
There are plenty of things that can be done to nerf her without killing her. All i want is a little balance with the rest of the cast, she can still be top tier just make her a little less dominant.
Honestly I think removing some drive gatlings (e.g. 6DD > 2DD and maybe even 5DD > 4DD) could well be better than adding a drive meter. A restrictive drive meter would make v-13 suck badly, and she would lose a lot of her “color” as a character. And one instead with a reasonably generous auto-regen would just encourage stalling. Imagine 5DD > act pulsar in > block string including lots of C > act pulsar out to rebuild drive meter. Or just more across-the-screen staredowns and running away.
Removing some drive gatlings would feel less restrictive for v-13, I think, and it would definitely help Tager and Hakumen get in. Less of the Tager jumps forward > blocks 8 swords in mid-air > lands where he started scenarios.
On an unrelated note, I think 2C is a bit too strong and should have increased startup frames. Increasing startup would also alter or shut down some of the more damaging combo options (e.g. throw > dash > 2C etc.). Similarly, air 214D IMO should have greater recovery to make it riskier as a midscreen poke/mixup and also to prevent the meterless air 214D relaunch combos that look a bit silly.
I agree with the fact that it should be made harder for her to run away but getting rid of RC? That’s ridiculous. You haven’t played much if you think Nu is the only one who benefits from RC…
I was kind of being sarcastic about the RC. I know a lot of the cast uses it to some extent, but it helps Nu a whole lot more then anyone else.
I agree, Nu’s RC combos are ridiculously easy to pull off in comparison to those of the other characters.
