Bullet vs. v-13

Recommended Posts

Probably one Bullet's harder match ups, but I wouldn't call it her worst.

Nu is very dependent on creating space and harassing you from a distance using her drive. Also, another thing to keep in mind is that in CP, Nu has two modes.

When in Dia Mode, Nu has better zoning capabilities, and she's capable of repeating drive attacks on block. However, Nu lacks any and all reversals save for a burst.

When Luna Mode, Nu places more focus on comboing and Okizeme then actual zoning, so this is mostly the mode you'll deal with being pressured. This mode is indicated with a ring of data above Nu's head. Her Zoning is worse in Luna Mode, but she has a super reversal you need to be wary of.

To think about it simply, Dia Mode acts like Nu in Calamity Trigger, while Luna Mode acts like Lambda from Continuum Shift.

Nu's Drive Attacks are kinda annoying to deal with, but Bullet has some ways around them.

For starters, it's useless to try and close in on Nu while she's in Dia Mode and your Heat Lv is 0. So block and try to find the perfect moment to use Afterburner. (I find it better to charge all the way to Heat LV2)

With some Heat LV's under you belt, your next goal is to dodge and block Drive Attacks, while throwing out Flint Shooters to close in on Nu.

One she's within your reach, Nu becomes putty in Bullet's hands. She can't really do much but block or burst, and because Bullet can pull of combos off of about any hit, and use Lock On to stay on the foe the whole round, Bullet gains the upper hand.

To sum it up, Bullet struggles to get in, but once she gets in, the match shifts into her favor. Just be wait and be rational, and wait for a mistake in your foe's zoning, then punish accordingly.

Just an addition from the Nu side of things. In Luna mode, her drives have priority and will cease cancelling out your ground projectile and start absorbing them, so you can be punished on approach if you're using that as a shield to get in. However, those higher priority drives will not net a follow-up drive on block like in Dia mode, thus the pressure isn't nearly as bad on block.
