Any veteran Nina players out there?

Miguel Rossington

If so i'm looking to discuss alot about Nina. I feel shes a little under used/underestimated. Am I the only one?
At the cost of 1 bar she has a guarunteed 200 damage IMO thats Phenominal for a round ender or to tag safely.(Among other things obviously) Also if anyone wants to spar/play a few games message me on PSN(Xx_Martin279_xX). Maybe we can pick up a few Strats/Setups or combos even. The Nina player population Is scarce so we need to band together and break EVERYONE ELSES arms

I'm a nina player, my psn is the same as my srk. I warn you though, my playing has gotten exponentially worse in the last week, so excuse my poor ability to impress.

Miguel Rossington

Go ahead and add me now if you can ill accept when i get home (in school right now) at around 3:00.

And trust me i'm no phenom either there are DEFINITLEY some things i can improve on.
Hense the making of this thread.

Thanks for the reply.

This should have been in the Nina sub-forum not in the main sub-forum.
I also play Nina (albeit a fraudulent one) and yeah Nina does monstrous damage ~400 without meter.
PSN is same as my username and I'm on the east coast (NJ). Take a look at my youtube if you want and look up Tatsu's max damage Nina combo.

Miguel Rossington

Yeah i know about the nina sub forum but seriously theres like a total of zero people there so i would have never have gotten a response.

Tried to add you but your friends list is full. Saw your vids on youtube your pretty good

I play Nina and I do more damage than you guys, and you know why? Because I'm the best. Also I was watching some C+ ranked Nina/Rolento player and I actually learned some new stuff with her. But Nina doesn't even need meter, at all. Like I didn't even realize that EX Geyser Canon worked as a get off me move until I got to B+. So I was just winning on the ground.

^ who is this guy...? Never heard of him.

On topic: Nina doesn't need meter at all, other than for switch cancels and maybe surprise ex rolling grab. This thread really should be in the Nina sub-forum...

You'll also be running into me in TTT2 if you stick with it. Team Nina/Lili. But the only character that gives me trouble with Nina is Guile. I seriously cannot figure out how to stop him in any game unless my character just beats him outright (and they don't).
If I can get a knockdown, I might have a chance. His wake up game is ass, so he has to guess correctly and Nina has some ambiguous jump ins.

Suprise ones really?? I NEVER do ex grab unless i cancel the blonde to high kick to it. If i dont hit it(i either get randomly sweeped or they jump) its just a waste of meter to me and against people who know what they're doing i need meter
To have a fighting chance.

What combo do you do and much damage is it.
I max out at 442 but i suspected she had a little more potential.

What combo is that?
I normally use: w/e xx hk geyser, hp skull splitter, cr. hp xx hp skull splitter, cr. hp xx blond bomb.
Then there's tatsu's combo (he says it's max damage): w/e xx hk geyser, cr. hp xx mp skull splitter, cr. hp xx hp skull splitter, ivory cutter (or raw launch).

Juri_kills_friend!

i swear when i read boards and i see people i have fought before i want to say i'm sorry but then again...i'm not...especially the people I style on or kill with a launcher at the end of a combo.
btw nina is a confusing match up for me cause i rarely fight them.

I didn't know Tatsu came up with that combo, but that's the one I've been using. It's significantly harder to get used to. You have to hit the mp and fierce skull crushers at the right time, or they aren't high enough to do the launcher/ivory cutter.
But the damage is a lot more, just starting with a cr. fierce into the launcher end, you get 420. Jump in is 462. And that's with no meter.

Yeah its not an "easy" combo to do. Using HK geyser makes it a tad easier. You still playing Akuma/Nina?

Thanks, but I guess i'm already ready used to the hp xx Blonde Bomb. I've been playing Nina for a while and haven't dropped that combo in AGES. Thanks for the post though :)

No prob, I'm not that good either...
I noticed that:
+ you don't jump very often (which is great in general) but you have to recognize when your opponents anti airs are lacking
+ you like to hit buttons (especially cr. jab)
+ the footsie battles were too one-sided even though it was a mirror
+ you know that Nina's stuff is unsafe and can punish but you keep doing them over and over
+ heihachi is still cheap >:(
+ i'm still ass at teching throws...

If you've got anything to say about my play, don't be shy. We're both trying to improve.

Thanks Man FINALLY someone gives me a simple straight up list of what i am doing wrong.

About the jumping thing, back when i was a wee D+ Rank(if i remember correctly) i jumped in alot more. But then i came across a juri player that knew what he was doing (needless to say jumping at juri=BIG NoNo)and i guess i got traumatized or something idk.

Footsies(plain and simple ive never been good at it really but i will strive to learn the arts of le' footsies)

About the unsafe stuff I think i cracked or something because probably about 2 or 3(out of about a hundred i threw out) of those hk geysers were intentional. lol i remember facepalming when i jumped in and just did a raw geyser)

Also sorry about Heihachi but he has been one of my favorite tekken characters since ever.(the way i see it Hes an old man like in his hundreds or something that can kick some a**, whats not to love?)

Only thing that i noticed you didnt do was when i was low on health and i was trying to tag safely but you didnt try one blonde to high
Kick xx ex rolling dash to grab which is in my opinion VERY good for a quick round ender.

Also i like to throw out her overhead alot to get them scared of it so they block high at about mid range (still in her ivory cutter range) so i can throw out the high unblockable grab for damage and hard knockdown. (Tried not to do that against you because i highly doubted that you would fall for it and the grab is Very punishable on block.)

Thanks for the games.
