SFV Season 4.5 at a glance - Nash

[@sean5048]

Honestly, I have a lot of respect for all the hard work you're putting in for all these videos man.

[@tatoslab1502]

I'm thinking that the devs buffed justice shell's juggle potential so that the combo you showed could work. However, a possibly unintended buff resulting from this is that Nash can now use VT2 to create combo extensions from anti air EX scythe. This is really nice, especially post-activation due to the low scaling. You can get 236 damage off of EX scythe xx stealth dash xx justice shell -> mk scythe, which seems to be the bnb from this route. The juggle is tight but it's consistent if you get the timing down. I think this is a pretty nice buff to VT2's formerly low utility, which is probably the biggest criticism most Nash players had about it last season.

I'm glad this character got heavily buffed. Now my friend will have less excuses when I beat his Nash :)

[@AdversaryOne]

These buffs aren't that heavy. The character is still at a disadvantage against most of the cast.

[@Oimae]

he didn't get heavily buffed. He got hardly buffed. None of his buffs are game changers or actually help him in MU's he had trouble with

[@feri7mble]

@@AdversaryOne You're taking my sentence too seriously. I don't need you to tell me this.

[@AdversaryOne]

@@feri7mble lol What dumb asses thumbed up that? "yeah you taking him too seriously dawg!" "he don't need you to tell him NOTHIN sucka!" As absurd as what you said was, I can't tell if you're joking or not. Glad to know we feel the same way about Nash?

[@witheredhope8661]

Also every button that Nash has that plays a different animation on block than hit now has several versions of that animation so that meaty connects have improved frame data like other normals.

I'm from Brazil and I'd like to thank you, I'm doing something this way in my little channel for help the players. In Brazil reviews of Characters are too long and I inspired in you Bafael, did my part trying to help the brazilian scene. Thanks man. I really love your job of SFV at Glance.

[@bryanleeyf87]

Not only in Brazil....but everyone makes stupid videos of over 10 minutes long just to maximise ad revenue from videos. Understandable, but a complete waste of time to viewers who just want a quick answer. Because of this, a lot of "content" creators never bothered to splice/cut videos like Bafael did, or just plain out mumble or speak garbage to elongate the video time.

[@BoolinBoshi]

tfw foot speed

[@AdversaryOne]

This isn't enough. Nash needs fundamental changes like a walk speed increase and an actual invincible DP (they've done it with other characters). It made sense in season one but with characters like G and Akuma and all the buffs and new moves Bison has been over the years to make up for his slow walk speed, Nash has fallen way behind.

[@stonetic2515]

I think Nash should get all the changes of his new vskill permanently instead of having to charge them every time. That would make him a reasonable choice.

[@KDONeal1]

Facts

[@NeoBoneGirl]

Stonetic Well, they’d certainly have to nerf the light version since he’d always be plus lol

[@Copperhell144]

Finally, VT scaling per Trigger instead of universal! For this one only for now, but it's here

[@Hawko1313]

wait, heavy scythe into medium scythe? is that new thats sick

[@olivermisbach2454]

That's with v-skill 2.

[@SultanofSmash]

His vskill 2 allows him to juggle

[@AnthonyBottari]

Hk scythe to ex scythe works too if you kara it from mk+lk takes a little practice.

[@dorffanfgc3071]

Thank you for the informative video! You´ve saved my time in the training mode

[@sm7085]

This explains why I’m seeing so many Nash players online

[@johnathanortiz3066]

2:36 welp Ik what I’m gonna try to do in the lab that was sick 😂. Edit: Ik you can ex somersault if your II trigger kick hits I wonder if you can extended the combo in the video with it for just a smidge more damage . Assuming hitstun isn’t dead I also practiced to where if you do confirm the kick or punch you can critical arts off of it and the scaling isn’t really bad takes a huge chunk of health (Also despite how I’ve been making it sound please don’t spam v2 bar and moves it becomes very predictable gotta conserve it and catch them off with it the bar drains slowly so don’t be to freaked out about it because unless you been in block stun or playing neutral the whole time you at least got a minimal of 1-2 usages 4 being the most I’m including the activation itself btw ) I ain’t a pro lol but I really do love Nash and believe it or not I’m still learning the character 😂 you learn something new everyday

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

Nash looking good, maybe Infiltration stop complaining that much about him been kill by Capcom.

[@spacedoutcowboy5211]

Nash is not kill

[@6700adam]

Nash still dead

[@Oimae]

"Nash seems to be one of the most improved characters" LOL WUT? He literally got nothing he needed. Slightly better HK and EX scythe are not important buffs when he STILL lacks a less than abysmal walkspeed, STILL lacks a reversal, STILL lacks a 3f and STILL has a worthless 3 bar vt2. He's "buffed" like Alex got "buffed" whenever capcom kept buffing Lariat and not what he actually needed. Fireballs deal 10 more damage? Who the fuck cares? He needs to hit 3 of them in a round to make up for the health buffs others got. The damage only becomes a net positive on the 3rd fireball that hits. The fireball still has either abysmal recovery (lp fireball), abysmal startup (hp fireball) or is just meh (mp fireball). How do you look at how the low tiers got buffed, what they all got and come under the impression that Nash is one of the most improved? This reminds me heavily of your s3 video when you said his vt2 was a game changer. Remember? That one vt that nobody uses? Because he has a shit walkspeed, no 3f and no reversal? And he has to give up v-reversals to actually use vt2? Is everyone still so salty from the character being good for half a season due to the input lag that everyone that doesn't play him always, always, always overrates him to hell and beyond? He's undeniably the worst character in the game right now. He's awful. But you don't have to take my word, a nobody's, as gospel truth. You can hear what every Nash player and players who played Nash in the past said about him. Infiltration said it best after he checked his buffs. "This character is trash. Capcom doesn't want you to use him" "one of the most improved"... fuck outta here. It's people like you that are the reason this character has been shit since s2.

[@malacara1335]

The fact that people like you use Nash makes me glad he got shit on for being a busted ass piece of shit in S1, get fucked.

[@GlowingOrangeOoze]

"Nash SEEMS to be ONE OF the most improved character's I've looked at SO FAR" (5 characters). If you're gonna criticize that sentence I'd criticize the fact that it's saying almost nothing. Anyway it's just a dude giving his opinion that the buffs are significant, you don't need to trip so hard.

[@tatoslab1502]

Nash may not have good walk speed, but you can't react and check all his dashes. They're still powerful. Attempt to do so and he might now just single hit confirm his st mp into hk scythe for a good chunk of damage and solid oki. Nash's health got buffed just as much as anyone else's, so I don't see your point about the boom damage buff not mattering. Even if it takes 3 booms to compensate for that, no other projectile character got similar damage buffs to their fireball. Also, his boom frames are roughly average- lp and mp boom are 47 frames long while hp boom is 45. That's pretty standard, not absymal- Akuma, Urien, Ken, Sakura, and Cody all have worse frame data on their main projectiles. Your point about VT2 still being garbage is probably true, but VT1 got enormous buffs so who cares? Just pick VT1 and enjoy having the only trigger without an extra layer of damage scaling. Nash got a ton of issues fixed- just not the ones you wanted fixed. His previously inconsistent aa ex scythe is consistent, his previously unrewarding aa st mk and st hk are much more rewarding, his previously niche vskill got supplanted by a new much more versatile one, his formerly poor hit confirm game is much better thanks to the st mp and hk scythe buffs... there's a lot here for Nash. Just because he didn't get everything doesn't mean he's trash. I still don't think he's amazing; he does have the weaknesses you mentioned. However, there's no doubt that he's much better.

[@dorffanfgc3071]

chill man. I´m a fellow Nash main and i'm just happy he ain´t low tier no more.

[@LoftyXsWaGX34]

Maybe appreciate the tools he does have instead of being so pessimistic. Great buttons, extremely good dash, free set ups with a fireball he can follow, good anti airs etc.
