Nina Beginners Guide - Tekken 8

[@Boogard]

I'm sure there's various things I missed so feel free to let me know in the comments!

[@bryantlookingbill8261]

With 4,2 and 3,2 and probably while rising 4,2 can be canceled into crouch after the roll if you don’t want to do the mid. Also for backsway after SS1 you don’t have to double tap back. You can just hold back or down back.

[@wigglesnapper]

Worth mentioning that a lot of her throws have chains to them which they made a lot easier to input in tekken 8

[@Zachebi]

Versed someone that was just spamming the air combo button in special style, so then i just grabbed them to death as nina and they didnt even know they could tech throws😂

[@via_negativa6183]

shockingly easier I haven't played Nina for a few games and thought my muscle memory was just good on closer inspection I realised they made them kinda brain dead now.

[@jasonpierce3968]

Very much so. Coming from earlier versions of tekken those throws required alot of inputs. Now they are so easy.

[@xKHA0Sx]

This is exactly what I was looking for, for my Nina-- THANK YOU. Great Tekken content.

[@Boogard]

Glad I could help!

[@thegreattim9508]

Big Fan of the channel bro!! As a beginner in T8 I appreciate the Vids 🙏🏾 Keep them coming!! I’m loving Nina in the demo atm, even thinking of making her my main

[@Boogard]

Glad you like the videos thanks for the support!

[@digitalwarlock]

a little late to the comment party, but i wanted to point out that to get sway or crouch dash after SS1, just hold back or forward after the 1. no need to do the quarter circle or "tap back twice". The same applies to moves you can side step cancel. just hold the up or down direction after the button input, like df3,2~u/d.

[@guerzon2010mbc]

Really appreciate you posting these series of videos for the community! Looking forward to seeing all the new players thanks to these vids. Something I think should be emphasized is her backsway. Yes she gains more plus frames after ss1b but its important also to emphasize how evasive her backsway is. The backsway evades mids with high hitboxes as well. Just a correction d2 I'm pretty confident is only +5 on CH unless that changes in the final product. Someone might've had CH on and assumed it was +5. You can't tell whether the low hits CH unlike a Bryan/Alisa db3 that has a distinct CH animation. Lastly, f2 string the last hit is guaranteed if 2nd part counter hits. So the importance of that string is that f2 is one of her longer reaching attacks and despite 2nd hit being -13 you can still threaten the last hit as well. Hope this helps provide more in depth info for the community. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this video! I've been trying out Nina in the demo, so this helps!

[@Boogard]

Glad I could help!

[@Airwalker_]

8:12 Unfortunately Nina does not have a privileged df+2, it does not launch people who are crouch blocking. 3:40 d+2 is actually neutral on normal hit and +5 on counter hit This could change with release of course but this is how it currently is in the demo and how it was in Tekken 7. I would also argue that Nina is a more complete character since a few new moves cover ranges she lacked tools in. ff+3,3 3+4 and most importantly f+4 which is probably the best new move Nina received. All the other moves covered are spot on though and are definitely core to Nina 👍

[@Boogard]

Thanks for the corrections

[@Zachebi]

Lmao i remember how bamboozled i was when i did the perfect play, i jab checked 3 times and they ducked on the third as i did her df2, it did like 10 damage and i lost my turn

[@JordansMortalKombatAdven-xn3qo]

Awesome! I’m really excited to learn Nina in this game and I will be using this as I’m sure this will still be good for giving me a baseline amount of knowledge to start with and build upon as I start to learn the game as Nina

[@dethzero1459]

Omg I just learned about your channel from the other Tekken 8 general guide video and your content is amazing. I been playing Tekken for years but never been too competitive with it, but with Tekken 8 I decided to start learning more about the game, and your guides are amazing. Subbed and looking forward more of your videos, cheers!

[@Boogard]

Thanks for the support!

[@Davidb5212]

Using this to learn the matchup because im tired of losing to nina players in 7

[@azo4real]

😂😂

[@Zachebi]

Ive seen lots of nina mains say she was nerfed heaps for 8

[@stamina538]

@@ZachebiPerhaps Nina will become even more dangerous... ss1 cancel is a very unpredictable move. To get on Nina's loops means the loss of 50% of health... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSnXq2Cec1sY9ksi=9aFwdYJPlwRaW7nP kzbin.info/www/bejne/r521o4mnoqpgiNksi=_ABXQszHwBz6LkwQ kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX7ZiYmqhtR0aZosi=w-DYRlGSJTK8K5gb

@@Zachebi In CNT yes, but in CBT and beta she's amazing, they compensated all the nerfs and made her much more viable

[@kaiyoyg.]

You deserve more views bro. Great guide❤

[@Boogard]

Glad it helped!

[@TCGrodney89]

Nice guide for the beginners. Well done❤ we need those extra Nina players in here.

[@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE]

I will definitely save this video been trying to learn nina since tekken 6 but that damn high execution for her combos is putting me off now I will try her in 8.

[@keytwitchyPhD]

She's probably only worth playing on Hit Box or keyboard.

[@RisingJericho]

I was thinking about using her until we get Anna, so this is giving me a good headstart!

[@KikoBG12]

thanks for the guide 🔥 im thinking of maining her since i dont like how strong my main jin is 😂 so strong it makes me feel bad to play him, all the skill and zen cancels have been removed, so i might try nina she looks cool, i subbed🔥

[@Boogard]

Glad I could help thanks for the sub!

[@via_negativa6183]

Nina is slept on I think she's better than jin in this game lol

[@starbutter2730]

Would love to see one on Reina when she comes out. Its going to be cool seeing these guides for everyone to get a leaping off point in learning about everyone and getting some decent MU knowledge

[@Boogard]

Yeah I'm Definitely looking forward to learning Reina and making a video for her

[@starbutter2730]

@@Boogard Ay thatll be sick for sure. Also ty for making this stuff for us, Ik Ive said it already but Im grateful haha

[@redhaitianz]

I thought f2,1 was still unsafe on block, but with no true practice mode there's no way to tell d2 was only +1 on hit in the CBT, again lack of a practice mode to REALLY tell ss1 back up is how Nina's cancel it in time to press more pressure uf4,3,4 is the full string, if they are slow the 4 will beat their ws punish ws4,2 down down back cancels the spiral bomb, but she still side rolls b3+4 is her new i14 punish.. it has string follow ups.. b3+4,1+2 being the best option b1+4 is now i15 and is overall a better punisher than her df2. --- Great vid overall!!!!

[@Boogard]

Thanks for the corrections really appreciate it

[@amirar2371]

Bro this will be my favorite channel for T8 i love this guide as a newcomer please do kazuya or jin next

[@Boogard]

Thanks for the support! I already have a guide for both jin and kazuya on my channel

[@amirar2371]

Could you add abit of how to string combo or what move to do if you want to string combo that would make it perfect

[@vapersmith7859]

The funny part is that most of Nina's basic stuff I find already blasts most opponents apart thing is I'm not done with her I want to refine the craft.

[@TheLoganskool]

The 4 ,2 roll can be canceled by holding down

[@jameskresnik7688]

Please make an advanced guide for Nina There are quite literally no guide's for her other than combo guides that don't go to indepth of when and why to use certain moves

[@UnluckySkies]

imma watch this video once a day praying I improve (dan 12) save me!!!

[@Gaju83Pl]

Nice video, thanks. Do you know is this guaranted : Nina d/b+3+4, u/f+4, u/f+3, d/f+3,2 , b+3+4,3+4(tornado) , 2+3(heat burst) d,d/f,f+2(F) p,P+1+2(max charge). The last hit I'm not sure.

[@STE.B]

I would love her to have longer hair 😍

[@arturorg0]

Is Tekken 7 similar to Tekken 8? Or I have to relearn almost everything?

[@Iam_Stu]

Asuka players hearing "all jabs are +1 on block" :*(

[@mcNakno]

the slide from the snakedash (d,d/f,F+3) launches on counter hit idk what the combo is though

[@Daemon1995_]

not a lot of nina guides out there damn, no wonder no one playing her in rank lmao

[@DaScte]

2bad cause she fr a noob stomper lol

[@Xbox.4388]

Have you noticed that some of her moves don’t work like “Creeping Snake Left Low Right Uppercut” and “Assault Bomb” I’m thinking that it’s some type of bug in the demo theres a few others too that can’t be performed.

[@Boogard]

I hadn't noticed but that's intresting. I hope they fix that before launch

[@ghifari442]

im new in tekken, what is d d or one two mean?

[@ReYsiRiDLeY]

She has a secret move which is not listed among the move list.

[@Boogard]

I heard about something like that

[@ReYsiRiDLeY]

@@Boogard its the throw she grabs the opponent with two hands while being face to face and falls to the ground together. also, that throw happens once the opponent attempts to hit Nina with one leg and fails and Nina grabs her.

[@stamina538]

@@ReYsiRiDLeY It's a reverse!!! Lol XD

[@ReYsiRiDLeY]

@@stamina538 yeah it is. But i did not know

[@MisterBlackout]

its just back 2+4 (y+b) or (triangle+circle) it’s a kick parry and a punch parry but the kick parry animation isn’t listed, same one as tekken 7.

[@dyllanstark2179]

I'm clearly just not passionate enough

Why wouldnt you do this explanation w the input history on :(

I recording this during the demo when there was no input history and no practice mode

[@HeroSpiderman]

@@Boogard Ah, apologies. That's on me then.

[@cpt.jackfrost]

The only character i kinda like in the whole game - and i can't even play her properly. Guess tekken is just not for me (well, never was)

Can opener?

[@Bugz-qm2si]

2:00

[@Merlinacus]

:)

[@Moh-problems]

cant lie with all due respect, this isnt beginner friendly this feels intermediate im a beginner to tekken 8 and this kinda confused me man, firstly i dont know the notations i play on console and your explanations feel like i am missing a lot of background info - maybe im too much of a beginner or too dumb i guess :/ i appreciate the video you made though, there are not many videos out there at all for Nina and most explanations arent as good as yours

[@mrpotato7734]

With all due respect, he probably means Beginner to Nina as a character, not beginner to Tekken. If you don't understand the terminologies used in this video, you're better off watching Beginner to Tekken videos like by PhiDx (really recommend) or MainmanSWE

[@Iam_Stu]

@@mrpotato7734 He definitely means for beginners to Tekken, the description says for yellow ranks and below. BUT he does also say that beginners should watch his full Tekken 8 guide first which probably covers the core concepts that this person feels are "missing background info"
