This is not WoW. Bitching about a character won’t get you your way.
nu mainer try to justify themselves by talkin about her weakness the point is she’s broken and needs to be toned down only two characters have a chance beating and it’s still an uphill battle
though you could send a letter to Arc System Works
if you’re lucky it’ll get read on Buluraji and Ragna will make fun of you

when did 6:4 matchups become unwinable?
Nu vs hakumen isn’t what I’d call a 6:4 matchup (nor is Tager, for that matter). That being said, I really don’t think there’s anything particular you can do about Nu. I think a lot of the things being suggested in this thread are far too extravagent and would make Nu super low tier.
That being said, I think if the cast that had more bad matchups vs her were given some more options against her, would be a better ‘balance’ desicion.
For instance: Hakumen has auto-gaurd on his C’s for projectiles. That’s great. His C’s have horrible recovery though, unfortunately. One simple change for Hakumen that’d make all of his matchups against the higher tiers a little better:
Rather than gaining a star for every auto-gaurded projectile, his C move will recover twice as fast (or recover instantly). So he loses gaining good meter, for being able to throw out C more often to destroy projectiles and not get punished for it, or at least make it a more viable option to do than it is now. I think that alone would make Nu vs Hakumen or Nu vs even Arakune a lot easier without destroying the balance and the intended playstyles for the cast. Small things like that need to be done. Giving Nu a meter for projectiles is retarded stupid.
While character specific buffs like this may work, I have a hard time believing this is the route they want to take. If Nu is the problem, and while she isn’t the only problem she is the biggest, why waste time trying to reconstruct other characters to compete with her? Why not just take her down a notch. As I said before, if they start buffing others they just risk creating even more balance issues. As far as I know, and I could be wrong, but Nu is the only character with all favorable match ups except for one or 2 5-5 match ups. Bring her down a notch so shes even with the rest of the cast rather than bringing the rest of the cast up to always be even with her. Like most others in this thread, I doubt that can happen without dropping her in the tiers, but I see no reason why whatever nerf they plan to implement has to revolve around maintaining her top tier position. So she drops down a tier or two, so what?
Buffing characters is almost always preferable to nerfing characters.
I agree Tager and Hakumen have bs matchups against Nu, I’m just tired of people acting like she utterly dominates everyone else for free.
IIRC sword gatlings still work on tager during B sledge autoguard and Hakumen’s autoguard is only for his sword(don’t have the game /w me atm to test). So in the scenario you suggested Nu could just gatling swords to hit his body and he’d end up eating a combo anyway(or blockstring if the recovery was fast enough).
the problem of what i see is that people dont have the matchup experience and try to play against her as the same way they play against everyone, also the only ones that have real problems against nu are tager and hakumen, the rest of the cast do just fine
if you played gg you would know, ASW always work in all the characters when they make a revision, working in new propierties and moves for all the cast
agree
Never played GG, so I’ll take your word for it. I don’t care about how they go about it as long as it gets the job done. From what I’ve heard, they made pretty good changes throughout the various versions of GG, lets hope they can do the same for BB.
give her a tager backdash so she can’t constantly run away :o
haha no?
why should she trade her uber pro backdash for an uber invincible one?
she should have hakumen backdash… no invincibility
This guy has the right idea. Her 6DD and 2DD shouldn’t be jc-able on block.
word
I don’t really mean hard as in technically hard (not for them anyway), more like hard as in it’s riskier than the usual hang back and poke method.
And I agree with the remove the 2D and 6D sword gatlings. At least on block anyway. Wouldn’t want to see her air combos go.
I think the same thing, I don’t care if she takes a hit to damage or gains a meter but if she loses those nice flashy looking air combos I’ll be pissed lol. Just stopping her chaining her swords on block would be good enough. (although let her still chain it into her teleport-dash thing)
Would it even be possible to change that in an online update? Seems like the engine doesn’t differentiate between block and hit for the purpose of canceling.
DOnt nerf Nu, shes fine. BUff the people that have bad matchups against her. ALA Taeger.
Give him a dash that uses his Magnetic Spark meter, or his heat gauge.
Haku-men has a dash that uses his heat guage
still doesn’t work out so well when vs. Nu :xeye:
well thats cuz the dash doesnt have special properties to begin with X_X
