  • Holy moly this needs more views. I've been scouring for solid Jun and Nina guides online for at LEAST 2 months and this hadn't come up on my feed. You rock keep it up! Hopefully this helps the algorithm!☆!
  • I like this guide and how you outline your gameplan in a simple way. The other guides are far more complex and contain too much info for how to parse beginning to play Nīna. I enjoyed your road to mighty ruler series, and hope to be there soon myself! I’ll be tuning in to your content as you continue to make it. Your attitude is great and you’re excellent at explaining things!
  • @SlimeSolo
    I knew a good majority but the way you explained ss1 was perfect. I definitely have things I can implement or do better to improve my pressure game. Nina is execution intensive but so sick when you can utilize ss1 or hayashida effectively in a match.
  • @TheXzaclee16
    Thanks for the ss guide tips. Dont forget with forward sway you can also cancel into low slide, and mist breath ❤️
  • @LeUberTroll
    This is amazing. I’ve been hard locked at 100k power and this’ll take me far
  • @moures6928
    Thank you very much for this video. I finally reached blue rank for the first time with nina thanks to you!!
  • @SBCurley
    not sure if you mentioned it in the video but some great options out of forward sway are the while standing moves like WS4. If you tap forward after SS1 and let go before pressing the button you get a while standing move instead of a qcf move.

    Great intermediate nina guide did a way better job than me😊
  • @blazaybla22
    Weird little like mid level tip where YMMV: At the beginning of the match I use a lot of different moves to cancel into sidestep (12, f12, f32, b22) but if I notice they’re punishing and interrupting my attempts to go into sidestep 1, I’ll start using only one move to to sidestep cancel to condition them to interrupt me and then I’ll start using the full string (f124, f324, b222) to try to bait them into a massive punish a couple times. If they really still wait and punish the sidestep on reaction I’ll assume they’ve really labbed the matchup and just be a little more cautious. Otherwise I’ll usually feel free to sidestep again with impunity .
  • @user-bp8vu2ri6o
    Nina for me is the best interesting character in all areas. Nina is a masterpiece character in Tekken, it’s a pity Harada still doesn’t understand this.
  • @FlyingTurtleLP
    If anyone has the knowledge and likes to explain a few things: 1. the u1->f->f1 is the "frametrap" and +1 on block. Does that mean that if it hits, then I can press any button or what attacks "create" the frametrap? 2. any suggestions how to practice sidestep loops? 3. launchers are not always launchers it seems. why? some combos do work just with a specific set of launchers. is that because of the recovery of the launchers?
  • @stealthguru3974
    Thanks!! My Coworker will never play me again after using this guide!
  • @kazaream
    I really can't somehow replicate d df4, d4 1, df3 4 3, qcf4 3 1+2 Somehow right after d df4, the opponent is laying already on the ground I can't launch them with d df4. Is that because of the ki-charge maybe?
  • @leonard9624
    Is there no changes in her ss1 canceling in T8 from 7?
  • Hey I’m a tekken god supreme with Nina if you’d want to hit a labbing session, it’ll be good info to share in your next videos
  • @itzdcx7991
    my brain hurts why is this game needlessly complicated
