BBCF/Nu-13

From Dustloop Wiki

Overview

Overview

Nu-13 (stylized as ν-No.13-) is a highly mobile zoner. Her Drive is focused on controlling screen space with fast, long-ranged projectiles that she is able to high/low mix with. Her specials such as Gravity Seed and Luminous Slave enable strong setplay that reduce the opponent's options while increasing Nu's own for okizeme and offense. Although Nu's melee confirms deal high damage, she'll often start with her Drive which, while low-damaging, is naturally burst safe — Drives also have long recovery so she is required to play reactively or risk being countered. Nu has poor defensive options and low health, but solid movement to run around her opponent in neutral such as a fast backdash and command dash. Unfortunately, Nu has a polarized toolset that results in her having unstable win conditions in some matchups; even with this, however, she still sees use at high levels of play. Nu requires good understanding of matchups, defensive mechanics and neutral to use her tools to the fullest.

Drive: Sword Summoner

Nu manifests sword-like projectiles which she can shoot at different angles with the D button. All Drive moves have a follow-up attack initiated by pressing D shortly after the attack connects; these followup attacks all spawn based on the position of whatever the first sword hit, so they will pretty much always hit as well. Unlike other characters, Nu can gatling her projectiles into other moves on block/hit, including her Act Parcer command dash.

Sword Summoner is faster and covers a longer range than most other projectiles in the game. It's also Level 2 for various durations depending on the Drive, so Nu can reliably challenge the projectiles of other characters, giving her strong screen control.

Nu can perform up to three Drives in one string, and Drives can reverse beat with each other, so 5D.D4D.D2D.D and 5D.D4D.D5D.D are both valid strings. This limit is only reset by jump cancels or returning to neutral, such as through a link.

Air Drives have the same limit, but these can be reset by j214D~C alongside jump-cancelling.
Overdrive: Unlimited Drive

Powers up her Drive with the following effects:

  • All Drive normals, including their follow-ups, summon an additional sword.
    • The positioning, angle and delay of each additional sword varies based on the move. Initial swords spawn their additional sword 5 frames after they spawn, and followup swords spawn theirs 1 frame after they spawn.
    • Unlike normal swords, these additional swords do not cause hitstop for Nu if they hit.
    • All additional swords deal 300 damage and have no cancel options, but otherwise copy the properties of the sword they spawn alongside.
    • Many of the additional swords spawn closer to Nu than normal, reducing her deadzone considerably (notably with 5D).
  • 4D's minimum distance requirement is removed.
  • Drive normals deal chip damage.
  • Gravity Seed recharges faster.
  • All versions of Sickle Storm can cancel into Act Parcer on hit, block or whiff.
  • Crescent Saber groundbounces, has a larger hitbox and all versions can be canceled into Act Parcer on hit, block or whiff.
  • Luminous Slave fires a second sword after the first (with the same properties).
  • Legacy Edge becomes invulnerable during its startup and fires more projectiles.
  • Calamity Sword has its deadzone removed and summons 4 swords in a row.
As a result, all of Nu's Drive-related attacks become much stronger.

A button that's a nice starter, being incredibly disjointed and active, but in practice is mostly combo filler because of its slow startup and lengthy recovery. You'll use this during IAD routes and corner combos.

This is susceptible to OD in pressure; don't use it often if the opponent has OD.

  • For some reason, if Nu scores a CH and goes into 5C, then it will also be a CH and do more damage.

A great button that's fast, disjointed, 0 on block, and has less recovery than her 2A. Nu's hurtbox also becomes pretty small so this can low-profile some pokes. Pressing 2B again will automatically cancel into 6B instead on hit or block.

This is a staple in pressure because it can reverse beat with 6B and 6A, is safe from ODR, and has good frame advantage for stagger. The fast recovery makes this great for checking rolls on wakeup while being safe from slower reversals.

A crouching anti-air. The invul is quite late, but the hurtbox is lower to the ground than the vulnerable frames of 6A and 623C.

As a crouch input with many active frames, it has uses against jump-ins that target standing hitboxes, or have delayed momentum like  Azrael's j.2CBBCP Azrael j2C.pngGuardAllStartup22Recovery10Advantage-. Nu's 2C has decent reward with Supra conversions, though CH is needed for normal gatlings to connect at most heights. Sometimes 2D — her other crouching anti-air, is preferable with its quicker startup.

2C is the only C normal that can be jump cancelled on block. Nu can use it for TK Crescent, backing off, or baiting if the opponent does not have OD availible. It's also a 1f gap from 2B, working as a high reward OD OS killer.

A standing anti-air. 6A is great for reactive use due to the early invul, and is good against deep jump-ins or escaping the corner. Said invul ends after the first active which makes it very poor for pre-emptive use.

This button has a very low hitbox — the lowest out of any anti-air in the game — so it's susceptible to whiffing or being beaten by IAD approaches and disjointed jump-ins. In return, it has much higher reward than the average anti-air, and great options on block: 6A5B is +2 on air-block for easy pressure. Fortunately, the low recovery makes this button relatively safe on whiff, and can even be pressed again in response to double jumps.

The other purpose of this button is pressure. 6A has excellent gatling options, it goes into and reverse beats with 5B and 2B which are safe against ODR, enable stagger resets at 0 frame advantage, and contain multiple lows. It even goes into 5C for high damage routes, and can jump-cancel or go into other jump-cancellable normals so the opponent has to watch out for either TK. Crescent or more stagger/lows.

This button is combo filler. It's the only non-Drive normal that can go into Act Parcer, so it's used for nice corner carry off midscreen hits. It also hard KDs on air hit, so 6C's other main purpose is to setup okizeme at the end of combos such as 236[D]214[D].

The slow startup and long recovery means you're not going to use this in neutral or pressure much, but if the opponent doesn't have OD, you can do 6C → 44 to back off relatively safely.

Nu's go to air-to-air. It's fast, disjointed, and safer to throw out than j.C. It's also a decent jump-in and can clash or beat out certain anti-airs due to its disjoint.

On taller characters like  Susano'o, it's possible to fuzzy with j.B, although Luminous or 50 meter are needed for conversions.

One of the fastest j.Cs in the game. A good reaching air-to-air, but the initial hitbox isn't as disjointed as j.B, and the recovery is considerably longer, so keep that in mind. A good place to press it is while retreating after an IABD, as it has no landing recovery.

Nu's j.C acts as a solid mixup tool; all the hits are overheads and cross behind her, this allows airdash 50/50s with Luminous to prevent mashes during the gap.

The hitbox on this is disjointed, but it's on the slow side, so j.B is used more for air-to-airs. It makes Nu fall faster and has decent blockstun so it's nice for jailing the opponent to the ground during pressure, however.

The untech time on CH is generous, enabling Nu to land on the ground and then continue the combo with ground normals.


Drive Moves

  • All Drives have a deadzone in front of Nu where they have no hitbox
  • All Drives except 4D start at Projectile Level 2 and decrease to Level 1 after a set amount of active frames
    • Always Level 2 during OD
  • Drives deal chip damage during OD
  • None can be jump-cancelled on block
  • The first sword for any drive normal are spawned and aimed solely using Nu's position, the followup attack spawns based on whatever the initial sword hit (Which might not be the other player)
    • Acceptable non-player targets are George the XIII, Nirvana and Ignis.
  • Swords can be spawned off the sides of the stage, but not below it. Swords that would spawn below the stage instead spawn from floor level.

Great zoning tool since it goes nearly fullscreen. It's used to prevent the opponent running straight at Nu and to whiff punish things from fullscreen. It has long recovery, so setting up Gravity is recommended to make this safer on whiff.

The confirms from this vary with range, usually going into 4D or 236D, but it is possible to get into close range and carry them to the corner with 5D.D236D~C214C3C... if it hits them at a decent distance.

A great anti-air as Nu's hitbox is low to the ground and it goes steeply upwards. It has fast acceleration and increases in size the further it flies away.

On hit, you can either go into more Drives to bait a burst, or carry them to the corner with IAD routes for better okizeme.

An important option for stopping IAD approaches and opponents at a lower height than what 2D would catch. It can hit some characters like Azrael and Tager while standing but will whiff on most characters. The followup sword knocks the target upwards and towards you slightly, usually allowing an easy setup into 2D or air combos.

Nu's only standing overhead. It tracks the opponent's location and appears behind them. This normal is an anti-zoning tool and is used to threaten overheads during drive pressure — TK Crescent being preferred for Nu's melee range, although in the corner 4D will appear offscren which can make it hard to react to, if the opponent isn't paying attention to Nu's pose.

A decent air-to-air summon to call out pre-emptive airdashes or opponents stalling on the other side of the screen. The followup drive pushes the opponent downwards, so it can score a soft KD if low to the ground, but otherwise this button is medium risk for low reward.

A Decent air-to-ground drive that's good at stopping people running at you and also low air approaches if done far enough. The range is pitiful compared to other drives however so don't expect to do fullscreen zoning with this.

As with j.D, it's medium risk for low reward, but on block is made safe by Act Parcer or Crescent Feint.

Nu's Crush Trigger is one of the best in the game. It's fully disjointed, convertible on uncharged hits (with Luminous), and her hurtbox shifts backwards during the attack so it can be used to bait DPs and other button mashes for big reward on CH.

It's a great mixup for 25 meter if Luminous is out, and even if reacted, Nu can still pressure while draining a hefty amount of Barrier guage. With OD Legacy Edge, it can be used for unblockable setups in the corner at the cost of high meter usage.

A projectile that goes fullscreen and hits low. All three versions are considered different moves and can special cancel into:

  • Gravity Seed (on hit/block)
  • Luminous Slave (on hit)
  • Act Parcer (during OD)

236D

The standard version, it travels quickly and is common in Nu's combos to juggle the opponent after 3C. It can be used in conjunction with 4D for mixups during drive pressure, and is comboable with Gravity. It's +8 when used point blank and Gravity cancelled, so it can be a pressure / frametrap tool for decent reward at close range.

  • Hard KDs on CH
  • Wall-bounces in the corner.

236[D]

This is the charged version, it wall-bounces midscreen and has a long amount of untech time, so this is used for corner and throw combos, it also sees use off some 6A routes. Nu's corner combos will end in this to safely setup a charged Luminous which is then used for her setplay. It is plus on block, but it's not safe to use this as a reset as the long startup means the opponent can always jump or reversal through it.

  • Fatal Counter
  • Hard KDs if opponent doesn't reach the end of screen.

236D~C

This Sickle Storm travels the slowest, but appears behind the opponent which can catch them off guard. It crumple stuns on ground hit and has a great vacuum effect on air hit, making this very easy to confirm. It can be used at the end of grounded Drive combos to lockout delay tech or rolls from the opponent while setting up Luminous.

  • Extended crumple stun on CH

A vital part of Nu's gameplan. Luminous Slave is a summon that has a delayed fire and tracks the opponent's location, it's used in Nu's neutral, okizeme, and mixups. In Overdrive a second sword with a 20F delay is fired after the first with identical properties.

Luminous will not fire if Nu is hit or enters blockstun at any time the portal is present. In call cases, there is a short delay after Luminous Slave ends where it cannot be used again, usually this is not relevant however.

  • All versions launch.

214D

The standard version. It has the quickest recovery and fires roughly after 1 second. It's reserved mostly for neutral instead of combos and okizeme. It's easy to convert on hit due to its long stun and on block Nu has enough advantage to start drive pressure.


214[D]

The charged version. It has the longest startup but is safe to setup after a 236D KD. It fires after 4 seconds have passed or the D button is released — this includes buffering it during other normals, Barrier Block and Crush Triggers. Obviously, since you're holding the D button, any attempt to use any other Drive move will cause this move to also fire, so this needs to be planned into how you use it.

This is very important for making Nu's mixups threatening as going into TK. Crescent now becomes plus on block, and comboable on hit for high damage. You can also do unreactable crossups and Airdash 50/50s safely, along with many other options to put the mental stack on the opponent. The high blockstun also enables Nu to go for pressure resets without spending Gravity.


214D~C

The plink version. It fires immediately and is used for corner combos, the long stun let's Nu juggle opponents in the air while Gravity recharges. It is possible to press C later than the cancel window starts, causing the sword to fire with a matching delay than the fastest possible shot.

Crescent Saber has two main functions: scoring air knockdowns at the end of staircase combos, and as a mixup tool. From this, Nu can go into high/low mix and resets at close range which while risky, are made safer if Luminous Slave is setup beforehand.

  • All versions can cancel into Act Parcer during OD.

j.214D

Vanilla Crescent. This is your ender for staircase combos, it flings the oppponent to the opposide end of the screen, so you can safely setup Gravity Seed and play neutral. For mixups, it acts as arguably Nu's main overhead and can be done from many points in pressure such as 5B, 6B, and 6A. By itself, conversions need meter or OD/CH, and it's punishable if blocked, but with Luminous set up it's + on block and Nu can combo meter-lessly.

  • Is 24f startup and -11 on block at TK height.
  • Hitbox becomes bigger during OD
  • Ground bounces on CH and OD.

j.214[D]

The charged version, performs a fakeout version of the above before performing the real one shortly afterwards. It has longer startup, but is combo-able on normal hit as Nu lands to the ground quicker after it strikes. TK Charged is +16 on block so Nu can reset pressure with this and/or frametrap. Somewhat gimmicky, but Charged Crescent can be used at the end of staircase combos to tech-trap the opponent for a full combo.

  • Hitbox becomes bigger in OD
  • Ground bounces on CH and OD

j.214D~C

A feint version of Crescent. Nu can cancel the recovery into any move after this version, including Act Parcer, so she can act or dash mid-air. Air Drives are commonly cancelled on block into this to make them safer since Nu can air dash away or go into more. For mixups, Nu can fake an overhead and then dash in with 2B to trip up the opponent's guard. It's also used in crossup attacks with Luminous deployed.

  • Resets the limit on Drive summons.
  • Overrwites the landing recovery of any previous Drive.

A strong setplay and neutral tool. Nu creates a field that reduces the opponent's horizontal speed to 30% of normal. This affects moves with momentum like  Noel's 6DBBCF Noel Vermillion 6D.pngGuardLowStartup27~39Recovery44 [25]Advantage-27 [-8] and the teleport dashes of  Azrael,  Nine and  Arakune. It does not slow down projectiles nor Ignis / Nirvana.

Gravity Seed is another vital piece of Nu's gameplan, it gives her space to start zoning and make it more difficult for the opponent to punish whiffed summons. It also functions as a conversion tool as almost all of Nu's moves can cancel into Gravity Seed and the recovery can be cancelled into almost any attack and Act Parcer in turn — allowing Nu to combo moves that wouldn't normally be possible.

  • Has a recharge period of 4 seconds
  • Recharges twice as fast in Overdrive.
  • Field only disappears if Nu is hit, not if she blocks.
  • Can be cancelled into Act Parcer on Frame 13 onwards.
  • Can be cancelled into any attacking move on Frame 19 onwards. (Excludes Exceed Accel and Astral Heat)

214A

Summons the field next to Nu. It's used in corner combos and to setup up Luminous okizeme. In neutral it can be used to setup up an immediate wall and then be cancelled into Act Parcer to make it difficult for the opponent to chase after Nu.


214B

Summons the field midscreen. The standard version Nu uses to make Drives less dangerous on whiff. Cancelling this into 5A is faster than letting Gravity recover naturally, so Nu can summon Drives in pressure more quickly. On hit, doing 2147B counts as a jump-cancel and resets the drive limit without Nu leaving the ground.

For combos, it's used in Nu's standard BnBs such as 236D214B5D.D and 623C214B5C to carry the opponent into the corner.


214C

Summons the field on the oppsite side of the screen. Only used in combos to move in close range after a 236D~C hit, or in almost corner-to-corner routes so Nu can pickup with 5B after 6C236D~C

A move with high damage and great corner carry, often used only in combos rather than by itself due to the risk-reward being unfavourable, but still has its applications outside filler.

  • Landing recovery of both versions can only be cancelled into Gravity on hit.

623C

A high risk anti-air. It's one of the best in the game in terms of its hitbox and invul — early on frame 5 and an arc covering in front, above, and behind Nu ensures this will cleanly beat most jump-ins, especially ones 6A and 2C may struggle against, but it is much more unsafe on block or if baited. Supra's reward is also not as great as Nu's other options due to it being a short starter.

In combos, Supra Rage is a staple in optimal routes as the long untech time enables her to confirm into 214B~5C or 6B for high damage routes at midscreen and in the corner.


j.623C

The air version of Supra is mainly used as combo filler instead of an anti-air due its lack of head invul. The high base damage, no SMP infliction with ground Supra, and lower recovery make this a staple in Nu's most optimal routes, and can be used for conversions off melee confirms when Gravity is in cooldown.

The throw invul is somewhat niche, but can be used to punish moves like  Bang's Ultra Technique:"Hyper Shadowstep Strike" / ShippugekiBBCP Bang Shadowstep Strike.pngGuardThrowStartup19+(60 Flash)+3RecoveryGround: 28

Act Parcer is a series of command dashes. The 66 and 44 versions are different moves, but both can be cancelled into after:

  • 6C.
  • Any Drive normal
  • Gravity Seed
  • Crescent Feint
  • Sickle Storm (during OD)
  • Crescent Saber (during OD)

X > 66

Nu's command dash. It's fast and covers a lot of space while being able to pass through her opponent. It can also be cancelled into any other normal, special or super move on Frame 27 onwards. Midscreen routes use this a lot as the carry is great ensuring most confirms will result in a Luminous corner setup. With specific spacing

It has a long window to pass through the opponent and Nu's hurtbox shrinks significantly (Much lower down than it looks), so she can use this for crossups or escaping back to neutral quickly after a Gravity summon or Drive.

  • Low profile 4f-20f.
  • Can pass opponent during 12-24F

X > 44

Nu's command backdash. It's a back-jump with a short amount of invul, technically making it safer than an IABD. Nu can cancel into this after setting Gravity and then air dash back to make it difficult for the opponent to chase after her. She can also go into air drives to snipe the opponent now below her.

  • Costs an air action.

j.X > 66 and j.X > 44

These are similar to air dashes, they can be used in pressure with Luminous to set up some gimmicks, or to back off safely after air drives. Some OD routes also use these.

  • Cost an air action.

Overdrive Version

Legacy becomes fully invul in Overdrive, making the startup uninterruptable. Theoretically, it can be used as a reversal that is obscenely + on block, although the deadzone isn't removed unlike Calamity Sword, so it's defensive use would need to be complimented with the pushback of Barrier and IBB.

The greater number of hits increases the damage and frame advantage, so Nu can go for multiple mixup attempts on block, or shred the opponents barrier guage.

A distortion ender you can use in place of Crescent Saber to add more damage when you end your combos due to its minimum damage. It has a flat, hard KD, but it's sometimes possible to pick up with 2B or 3C if the opponent were high in the air when hit.

Calamity has invul but there is a big deadzone between Nu and the hitbox, allowing many characters to comfortable meaty or pressure with the exception of wide hurtboxes like Tager's.


Overdrive Version

The OD version summons four swords in a row that will always combo into each other. The deadzone is removed and It also pushes back the opponent significantly, giving Nu a safe on block reversal. Although it's expensive and heavily telegraphed, it's Nu's best defensive option. Note that this reversal isn't entirely foolproof, as the opponent can use moves with frame 1 projectile invulnerability after the super flash to punish it.

Other than that, OD Calamity is used with RC for 100 meter combos for high damage.

Nu's Exceed Excel is quite unique compared to other characters: Rather than a close range attack, Nu fires a sword that travels almost fullscreen. It's unusually minus for a system mechanic making this is even more dangerous to use for escaping the corner than other character's EAs, but it's Nu's only defensive option other than Overdrive Calamity Sword which is resource intensive.

There is enough time afterwards to set a Gravity Seed or Luminous Slave before the opponent techs.

Damage GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead. StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame. ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame. RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles. Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked. On ODRThe difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame.
