SoulCalibur 6 Guide Nightmare Quick Breakdown Tutorial with Keev

[@rooflemonger]

Great video friend!

[@HayateEIN]

Thanks you! Hard work but it was a pleasure to do! Thanks to keev this guide is pretty solid. I just forgot RE K for Night Terror Charge mechanic.

[@EternalStorm796]

Loving how his soul charge is a nod to Night Terror in a way.

[@littlemisseevee2309]

not just that but its also a cool ref to his soul charge from sc2

[@Bigelnobod]

Really like these Breakdown Videos! Information on the characters in form of general overviews with playstyle, strength and weaknesses is so useful for finding your own favorites but so hard to come by on the net. So I hope you will do one for each char in the game eventually :)

[@AlanDarkworld]

From the artistic and lore perspective, Nightmare is easily the most awesome character in the game. However, I constantly lose to opponents at close range who have superior frame data. You literally get stabbed to death by a thousand needles. It's infuriating.

[@CrimsonKnightmare1]

Alan Darkworld groh, maxi

[@CRAFTE.D]

Basically, learn to back step in unsafe strings and learn to consistently just frame aga/aba (d2 nightmare, Xbox controller player)

[@littlemisseevee2309]

Also then there’s 2B who just obliterates him because of her frames and range

[@salsaspartan7]

Fantastic Guide friend! Thanks for the input. :)

[@YazookaMishima]

Thank you very much for this guide Hayate it's a pleasure to see that Keev one of the best Nightmare assists you for this guide ! I can't wait for the french version !

NightMare ...😎 , thank you Hayate always great vidéo 👊👍

[@HayateEIN]

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate!

[@CloseWave]

I have a question, why 6A (hold) makes me to go to the night side stance and sometimes I meet online people that goes to the night behind stance with the same move? Do I have to press some other command during this move?

[@HayateEIN]

6AAG I guess

[@avery2306]

My fav feature in this game is the fact that Soul Edge blinks

Awesome work again man!

[@ArtFr0g0]

Awesome work dude! :D

[@HayateEIN]

Thanks, that was a complex one. I will try to do better in the next one!

[@ArtFr0g0]

Yeah Nightmare has a lot going on this time around. I am super pumped for when the game finally releases!

[@rona2524]

Great video, very informative. Please continue to make them! I suggest Ivy... especially since LinkRCK won Evo2018..!

[@ZER0SC]

might be worth noting that RE K will also give Terror Charge if it connects

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Wow! They really nerfed poor ol' Nightmare. Now he depends, on jrpg type armour moves to keep an advantage. And needs soul charge to perform certain normal attacks, that he could easily do in Dreamcast Soul Calibur 1. :p But overall, thanks for the breakdown vid dude. ^_^ Looking forward to the next one. ^_^

[@raizen328]

So since terror charge gives him the advantages of being soul charged does it also have the disadvantages? For instance moves that lethal hit on soul charged opponents?

[@nextlvl810]

Yoshimitsu breakdown next please :)

[@HayateEIN]

That's also can be one of my next. I have Sophie, Ivy, Yoshi in my plans. But I'am also looking to other char now.

[@killersharigan]

YOOOOO

[@Dread24]

I second this. Playing the beta, they changed him significantly and I'm still not used to it lol

[@nextlvl810]

@@Dread24 yes i igree but im really fine with it. Im loving yoshimitsu last time i won 10 times in a row :) Namu!

[@Dread24]

@@nextlvl810 I've been playing Yoshi since SC2 (He and Link were my go to's). I think my favorite moveset for him was (that games problems aside) SC5 as it was very mixup heavy. I'm going to have to take him to the lab in 6 to see whats up, but playing the beta (on Xbox) I've been doing pretty well. I had a particularly close 2/3 set with a Nightmare player last night that came down to the wire and got me hyped.

[@Swollpool_]

Thank you hayate!!

[@HayateEIN]

I appreciate the feedback. It's motivating. Thanks you!

Has Keev ever played against Linkorz Siegfried? If not I think it be a good match

[@HayateEIN]

I'am sure it wilk happen quickly and it would be nice to watch!

[@dancingfighterg5390]

Great vid man

[@HayateEIN]

Thanks ! It's hard work, so I really appreciate your comments !

[@tybell6181]

This Nightmare explosion has been a bitch to play against online

[@HayateEIN]

To deal versus it, you have to use more lows, throws and break attacks, that's the only way to counter it.

[@KozmicHand]

Nightmares 6bb is devastating in his soul charge lolol

[@HayateEIN]

Yeah that's scary. I'am wondering if they will let the move like this in the final version.

[@battlegrizz3687]

thank you so much

Thanks for the feedback, I'am working on my next video !

[@darkmensag]

awsome! now voldo :D

[@somethingsomething9006]

I don't know how I feel about the agA nerf.

[@Carnege50]

I can't tell if ex meter moves are back. I haven't seen anyone mention that if it's another use for meter or not but I saw a yoshi using ex moves in a tournament earlier today

[@HayateEIN]

It's back but only on some characters. As we know, only for Geralt and Yoshimitsu for now.

[@Carnege50]

@@HayateEIN that's too bad I really liked both nightmare's tira's ex moves in V they were fun to combo into

Salut je te félicite pour ta vidéo j'attends la version française avec impatience mais c'est vraiment agréable de voir une perso qui explique très bien. et tu pense faire quoi comme prochain perso ?

[@zdgilgamesh9646]

A Ivy Breakdown would be useful

[@occult702]

The actual guide starts at 06:09 for anyone who hasn’t played since Dreamcast.

[@Ewder88]

Quick question: Unlike Soul Charge, no chip damage in Terror Charge, right?

[@HayateEIN]

Hey yo! Thanks for your feedback! Keev confirms me that there is no chip damage in NTC, only on Soul Charge.

[@Ewder88]

Thanks!

[@SavageEntertainmentYEAH]

for some reason i got a soul calibu ad immediately followed by a reeses ad. Has anybody been gettung two ads in a row before videos play?

[@HayateEIN]

That's pretty strange, wtf

[@jenovaabsolute5955]

For anyone who finds this video useful, more power to you. I had to stop watching at the 1:20 mark. I can't take someone seriously when they say NM is "slow". He is by no means slow at all. While he is not fast either, he has very quick moves, and his agility is absurdly high for the weapon he uses. I am by no means flaming. I'm sure this video has very useful information. I'd simply rather find that information elsewhere. The subject of how NM's speed is a controversial one. People say he is slow, but do you know how much hate mail I receive as a NM main, because they claim he is too fast when I use him, so I have to be cheating? Regardless. I hope people find this useful, as NM mains is something this series lacks, and I love NM mirror matches.

[@HayateEIN]

At least, in close range, they removed him his standing which was his fastest attack being i12. So he is even slower at close range. But yeah his overall speed compare to his weapon and his mobility is still vert good. But be carefull 33B has been nerf for the mobility, while 6AA is very strong.

[@yvesgomes]

Will you stream the beta? I can't find a match for the life of me, even with a fully open search.

[@HayateEIN]

I was streaming inf the beta, but I was a lot busy helping Kayane for her tournament :(

[@yvesgomes]

I ended up finding plnety of matches in the second and third days. It was all good. I hope your activities with Kayane went well. Thanks again for the tutos.

[@vidya2144]

does this video still apply? or did nightmare get nerfed since the beta?

[@HayateEIN]

Not it's all working !

[@Calibur1980]

How does a pressure character punish/avoid 6A+B??? Especially when nightmare has meter? The move seems unstoppable. Parrys mid, lows and throws. Safe and can combo into a 40% super. Lol. Really????

[@CRAFTE.D]

Calibur1980 The armor only has specific frames.

[@Calibur1980]

Makhi Laveau what specific frames? What animation? Before the animation? During the animation? How many frames is the window? -12? -7? -20?

[@CRAFTE.D]

Calibur1980 it also definitely does not parry low attacks, even thought it says so in game. I’d say from about 2-3 frames after startup armor starts.

[@bluewulv]

I wonder if Night-Terror will be in?

[@SAGEXX309]

Your English was a struggle, spoken and written, had to look up perptually only to realize you meant perpetually lol but good guide man thanks.

[@HayateEIN]

Sorry :(

[@Christian20013]

Nightmare is a intermediate power character

[@jaggedsigns3O11]

A:ga nerf was completely uneccesary, He already has few get off me options and now its unsafe, plus high crush able, and its not an easy command to do consistently on pad.

[@HayateEIN]

Now it's back to be positive on block!

[@hayateftw1]

Mitsurugi next!

[@HayateEIN]

I got some new informations on him, why not!

[@AriesWarlock]

grimm step KK? That looks similar to his "attack-grab" A+K move from SCIV.

[@-Dezhen]

Can NM go into NLS with 3[B], too?

[@HayateEIN]

he has to switch from NSS into NLS, forgot to mention that in the video

[@tyreemorefield6178]

[@youwatch2muchtv]

Night lower isnt new lol

[@JasonDS64]

I don't know I know I'm bad at this game but I'm really not liking him right now. I feel like no one has to respect or fear anything he does and it's never my turn to attack even when I land the hit.

[@NostalgicVampires]

I'm new to the game but I feel the comple opposite. Using Nightmare, I feel like it's almost always my turn. He can just burst out of most things and then his combos may not be long but 2-3 hits and your out a good chunk. Plus his super acts as a parry almost so you can use it to whiff punish too.

[@jenovaabsolute5955]

I mean this in a constructive way, but if this is how you feel, you simply are not using him right. If you use NM correctly, the opponent should feel like they CAN'T have a turn to attack. As an NM main, I find that pressure, and walls are devastating. Of course, keep your defenses up at the right moments. NM is simply capable of attacking a LOT while destroying your opponent's guard. Feints using his stances and attack cancels are a godsend.

[@kybalion5205]

Slow hard hitting character? Nightmare is far from slow. The amount of speed he has is insane. Needs to be reduced a little

[@TheTraveler980]

I think he wanted to say "meant to be slow".

[@somethingsomething9006]

He's slow *up close.* He's fast at range, that's why his whiff punish game is good, but he's quite slow and suffers in close range.

[@sixtenalin5300]

@@somethingsomething9006 Not in every cases, because he will always tend to use attacks that go into a close-up. Example: 66a, 66b (from a former crouch), and 88ab (IV)/88aa[grim stride, a] 44kk[k] into a nearby wall can punish even if the second hit is blocked. 1k is also an very useful poke for rushing situations, "if you or your opponent is rushing." In summary, he is more "random" upclose and hard to read, even 3aa is random to encounter. And of course, NSS, a[a] & k.

[@somethingsomething9006]

@@sixtenalin5300 A lot of the attacks you mentioned have pretty decent recovery. I never said he sucks at getting in close, because he doesn't, it's just that when he's actually up close, his best attacks/options are more limited compared to when he's mid range. If anything Nightmare is amazing close range against morons who try to spam/mash their way out. If you play patiently and defend yourself, the holes in his offense become clear. This is why Nightmare dominates low level play, but struggles more at high levels.

[@sixtenalin5300]

@@somethingsomething9006 And that's why you want to "cancel" if that's a way to say it. One of the best moves he has in close range, that also deals alot of damage is NSS bA slide, which is best used when you anticipate the opponents vertical. Nightmare is a character that you, the player need to build up around these general situations, example, when you do that I ... and ... (he is not complex in about his moves, only when you will use them. Onpar, he doesn't have any exeptional moves, that way you must use the many tools in about playing him. And that any other character is actually a bad matchup againts him, in summary he's a "freestyle" character, way more than any other character in all of Soul Calibur. Being "random" is one of the best ways of playing him, be passive-aggresive i'd say. Because you can't read all the moves coming out, and that goes with many fighting games. Use moves that no one would expect, not even yourself, only trust your instincts. Nightmare is very vary that is what makes him playable, and that he need to get the best results in any way. This gives you alot of pressure to come by, but it also makes you an good player. In IV I trusted myself unto this and just impacts come easy on any character I play against, in that way your still ahead of your opponent and can outplay them easily.
