What better way to kick off 2024 than with a Nier guide teaching us to get easy wins and master rank.

[@raey2960]

This is probably the first "puppet" character that I seen that was this easy and top tier in the same time, not even carl from Blazblue was this flexible lol

[@ziggszag1650]

the gap of difficulty in Carl and Nier is MASSIVE lol. So wild

[@Uooooooooooooh]

She's more of a P4A character, not a traditional puppet character

[@GeminionRay]

Carl is so difficult he stops most people playing after just a few hours lol.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Can’t even call her a puppet character.

[@SakuyaFM4]

She’s closer to Persona calls in P4A or Celica in BB than a real puppet character.

Nier is the perfect character to make your friends ragequit this game.

[@RossCastro]

When Granblue released my friend picked up Nier and I kept getting so frustrated that he changed characters. Now I've picked her up using the most basic ass game plan from your guide and now my friend is upset I didn't earn this "knowledge" myself lmao. I'm doing my part online.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Keep it up

*Be* the cancer you want to see in the world!

[@Demonseth999]

I finished watching the Soriz guide only to see this right next to it. The fact you decided to cover two of my favorites is extremely convenient. As someone that has wanted Nier in Granblue for a while this will help me greatly. I've always been pretty ass at fighters over the years but I've gotten somewhat competent at this one and am hoping to at least hit S rank or something one day (and make as many Metera and Cag players suffer as possible while doing so). Thanks for the guides Jiyuna! (could we get a Eustace one at some point?)

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

I need to learn him so I’m planning on it eventually.

[@atmamaonline]

I didn't know there was a second single player mode

[@joutakujo2366]

You should make a belzebub guide i think hes hella underrated

[@DragonoftheDarknessFlame]

Yeah I'm eyeing him. I haven't ran into a single one on ranked

[@raey2960]

I'm actually surprised by the lack of Belzebub players in the game rn

[@sladevalen]

He's too slow that's why I don't think we see him. Look at all the top tiers and it's the fast characters who abuse the new mechanics the best.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

I think anyone who has fought one knows he is REALLY good. And so annoying to fight

[@Blue-qi4tl]

It's seriously ballsy that ArcSys really said no balance patch until February. You'd think they'd at least tweak the newest characters even if just a bit. I'm getting flashbacks to DNF Duel where we waited months for a balance patch and they finally dropped one that essentially did nothing for the game... Feels bad man Anyway great guide yet again, hope you decide to make more for other characters. Happy New Year!

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

They didn’t even confirm February btw

[@MaulusRS]

its probably going to get its first patch before sf6 lol

[@Jayceiscool]

dude if we get a 3 bullet point patch i’m gonna become the joker

[@hollowhunter1619]

Guilty Gear is ArcSys' baby and it just gets patched twice a year. Is this one getting a better treatment?

[@Blue-qi4tl]

@@hollowhunter1619 is that a standard "patch" or a "balance patch"? If it's the latter "the clip that killed Strive" is starting to make more sense 🤣 Versus Rising just released with 4 brand new characters and also gave every single character new special moves. The characters that have been around for the last 3 years shouldn't need much balancing but clearly a new character like Nier does. A small balance patch towards tweaking the 4 newest characters should be what they're cooking up soon at least. That's not even to mention new systems like Brave Points or the obnoxious 66L. So I really don't understand your point. This version of the game just released, there's issues they should be fairly quick to fix. Strive has been around for... 3 years now? Of course that game isn't going to need, or shouldn't need, a balance patch every other month.

[@KabutoGatack009]

I have to prove Im allowed to use her cuz Im currently sitting in Arcanum Sandbox farming away for her uncap. But yes 1 maybe 2 setups is all u need on Nier and I love it.

[@purifyws]

I just fought a Nier in ranked that had what I assumed would be "jiyuna guide energy", and looked online and yep the guide is up now edit: wow he was using this color too lol, good shit whoever you were

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

He’s gonna be Master soon

[@Mace8761]

I think quick jab, quick fireball, anti-air and grab are good options against Nier. Which coincidentally none of the players in the video did, as I presume they have too little experience against Nier. You can kill Death with any insignificant amount of damage (such as the ones from Bravery Counter), and you shut down all of Nier's gameplay for 5 seconds as she lost the range (and some damage) on M/H/Sweep and also have no combo capability other than raging strike. Her reversal (including the metered version) is Armor, thus she can be grabbed during the startup since it is not that fast, or be grabbed on block. But I do think her damage is too high with her optimal combos. I think a good nerf that doesn't destroy a lower-skilled Nier player's experience is to reduce the maximum amount of damage she can do in a combo, or limit the heart counter more so you risk depleting the heart counter with long combo.

[@samflynnmadsally]

I got the game because it looks awesome and a lot of the content creators I enjoy are playing it. Seeing as Jiyuna turned me into a filthy Modern Cammy main and got my terrible ass to climb, I'm gonna blame him for me maining Nier until she's nerfed. Then I'll pick an actual character and learn the game.

[@CosmicRPG]

Never trust in Nier players.

[@Aeirion]

I have no idea what you're talking about

[@Neku004]

[@sodiumoverdrive1507]

She's gonna be free new week if Grimnir is any indication of a pattern. Watch everyone struggling in S ranks magically become S+. Can't wait to finally play her myself. Playing Zooey right now, GranBlue real "puppet character", but new week, F2P users will experience the joy of being carried.

[@CSco-pr8ig]

Jiyuna you monster.

[@aaym2224]

i picked this character just cause I heard shes busted and I got to s++ in under 40 hours (never played vanilla granblue) and I am NOT that good at fighting games and my neutral really isnt that great, and I did it by learning like two combos and two setups for different situations, some basic frame traps and tick throws, and 66l. I dont even feel the need to learn more with this character. shes broken, how do some people think some other characters are better than this character, def the scrubbiest character of all time and I am super carried.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

I want to learn more but so obvious she will get nerfed so don’t want to waste time

[@savokgear]

Ark Sys made another Happy Chaos again? oh, I mean Sol Bed Gay, oh, I mean Kokonoe. Another Kokonoe.

[@Hailstormful]

Nier is literally just Vanguard from DNF Duel... but she's in Granblue, so it makes her uber broken

[@whizthesugoi]

So true

[@ConvoBreaker]

A character that feels most like "Advanced Gran™️" could be a good guide. Like, you finally buy the game, you only ever played Gran, but you want to actually get better at execution and a more complicated game plan. No idea which Character that is I'm just playing Gran still lol

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Yeah, there are no real “secrets” to fighting her aside from Guard Cancel every mixup and try to bait the reversal.

at 12:40 sometimes when im doing the ender with 4M+S 5M+S they are too high do i have to delay my 5H after 5H+S? also thanks for this guide + your modern cammy guide was what got me a bit more comfortable with fighting games (still a scrub)

[@highwind6309]

He was so busted at release with his unique cane move launcher which guaranteed a tod, his parry had 1 frame activation, a lot of damage for no effort and among the simpler characters to play. He was also called "P2W dlc" after an EVO was made only of him because you needed Leroy for beating Leroy.

Question so when I do the nier combo ender setup sometimes I read the opponents brave counter by running up and dodging but what do I punish with? A basic 3 hit combo because death is disabled when they got hit with the brave counter

So you're telling me that I should just buy the full game already and have a lots of fun massacreting people left and right without anyone to hold me down, in your honest opinion, do you think gran blue is gonna be one of the big fighting games of 2024, because obviously street is gonna be there, strive I think it's shit right now, mk1 feels niche as hell, and I don't see a marvel type game to feel the void of flashy games, ever since I retired from tatsunoko vs capcom a few months back I being feeling the need to just pick a game that suits my aggressive playstyle so I can just bully people, or maybe even become a top player in the world cause I feel I want to accomplish more of what I already have, don't know.

@@ANIMEILLUMINATI That's the thing, I don't just want to play with people, I want to compete in as many big tournaments as well, I live in an extremely barren wasteland when it comes to competition, I cannot travel to the usa without a sponsor or without a lot of money saving, but now we have rollback so a lot of those issues aren't that much of a problem, I know I have the dedication to become a top player if I can click on a game, but I also want to have security if im going to invest into a game, and gran blue always look to me like a type of game that suit my playstyle and expectations gameplaywise, but it had a sad start due to the pandemic, now with rising it could very well change, I wanna give it a try so I asked several people that I came into contact across the years due to competition in tvc and mutuals, anyway, I may just buy it and just say fuck it cause I really feel that urge to compete again.
