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, 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.

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 will pretty much always hit as well. Unlike other characters, Nu can gatling her projectiles into other moves on block/hit including her command dash Act Parcer.

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.D > 4D.D > 2D.D and 5D.D > 4D.D > 5D.D are 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 this can be reset by j214D~C alongside jump cancelling.

Powers up her Drive with the following effects:

  • All Drive moves, 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 Swords deal chip damage.
  • Gravity Seed recharges faster.
  • All versions of Sickle Storm can cancel into Act Parcer on hit, block or whiff.
  • Crescent Saber ground-bounces, 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 lasts longer 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. However there exists a problem where hitstop given to Nu by her drive moves does not pause her Overdrive timer. Meaning her overdrive combos tend to be shorter in length than other characters. While this problem doesn't exist for her physical strikes, these moves aren't powered up at all so this is of little comfort.

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.
  • Is considered a projectile

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.

An anti-air normal. 2C can be awkward to use as it's slow, the invul kicks in late and Nu's hurtbox rises before then. However, the range and actives on this are better than 6A, and it can cover jumps-ins with delayed momentum like  Mu's j.CBBCS Mu jC.pngGuardHigh/AirStartup12Recovery18+4LAdvantage-/j.D> j.2C and  Azrael's j.BBBCP Azrael jB.pngGuardHigh/AirStartup9Recovery12Advantage-/j.2CBBCP Azrael j2C.pngGuardAllStartup22Recovery10Advantage-.

It's your only jump-cancellable C normal so this is used for a safe pressure ender or retreating if blocked as an anti-air, although the opponent gets a crouch confirm if they ODR through this.

6A is fast and has early invul, it ends after the first active so it needs to be used reactively, but the low recovery makes her safe against baits. Overall a scary anti-air as she can continue pressure even if blocked.

It's Nu's most rewarding anti-air by far, scoring 4k at midscreen, and has good options on block, but the hitbox may be susceptible to clashing or being beaten by disjointed jump-ins if not properly timed.

For pressure, 6A is good as it reverse beats with 2B and goes into 5B which are both 0 on block making for nice stagger, and it can jump-cancel and go into other jump-cancellable normals so the opponent has to watch out for either TK. Crescent or more stagger/lows.

Nu's best starter. This breaks 4k midscreen and easily gets up to 4.4k-4.5k in the corner. This is your go-to punish starter if your opponent does something unsafe on block.

It's decent for pressure as it's safe from ODR and can jump-cancel, but 2B is better suited for meaties and roll-checking.

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's also used at the end of combos to set up 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.

An okay air-to-air, but not as disjointed as j.B and the recovery is considerably longer, so j.C tends to be used when retreating after an IABD. All of the hits are overheads so it can be used as a mixup tool, but the opponent needs to be conditioned as its hurtbox is easily challenged when used as a jump-in.

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.

Nu's only standing overhead. It tracks the opponent's location and appears behind them. It's safer than TK Crescent, but is slower and can only be done raw or from 5D making it telegraphed. In the corner, 4D will become 'invisible' which makes it nasty if the opponent isn't looking at Nu's pose, but this is a knowledge check.

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 (in 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 pretty minus on block but this shouldn't matter when being used at long range.


236[D]

This is the charged version, it wallbounces 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.

236D~C

This is the slowest version of Sickle Storm, but it appears from 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.

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 pressed — this includes buffering it during other normals, Barrier Block, and Crush Trigger.

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 crossups and other things with this. 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.

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, flinging the oppnent back to the other side of the screen so you can safely setup Gravity Seed and play neutral. For mixups, it acts as arguably Nu's main overhead at 24f in place of no standing one, it 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 a charged Luminous to cover TK. Crescent 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 groundbounces on normal hit so it's easier to convert without setups. 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

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 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 has higher damage and is a long starter making it significantly more rewarding on hit than the ground version, but it has no head invul. It's mostly used in optimal punish combos, usually cancelled into the gound version right after due to SMP not being inflicted.

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 the fastest in the game and the recovery can be cancelled into any move making this very useful. Midscreen routes use this a lot as the carry is great ensuring most confirms will result in a Luminous corner setup.

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

  • Low profile 4f-20f.

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.

A strong anti-zoning super. Legacy Edge creates a portal in front of Nu that summons forth projectiles that fire fullscreen. Like most of Nu's moves, there is a deadzone between her and the portal.

All of the projectiles are level 2, so they will cleanly beat out almost every other in the game, including supers like  Tsubaki's Requiem MaledictusBBCF Tsubaki 632146BOD.pngGuardAllStartup1+40RecoveryTotal 1+57Advantage-. The invul on Legacy is fairly unique, shared only with Tager's Magna Techwheel: it will invul against anything that has the projectile attribute, including strike-projectile attacks such as all of Nine's normals (which are not avoided by normal projectile invuln). This long duration of invul makes it easy to punish the zoning of other characters, and even acts a reversal against projectile okizeme setups like  Lambda's Spike ChaserBBCF Lambda 214D 2.pngGuardAllStartup29RecoveryTotal: 69Advantage-5

Nu can act independently while the super is still firing, so if the opponent blocks this, it gives her ample frame advantage to perform a variety of mixups with TK Crescent, IAD crossups, empty jumps into lows, etc.... On hit, Legacy is decently damage, and Nu can dash forward to guarentee the opponent is carried to the corner, it also acts as a conversion tool off buttons like 3C when Gravity is in cooldown.

The downsides are that the opponent can chickenblock and mash 4 to obtain a lot of metre from IB while staying safe from mixups, and on crouch confirms, not all of the projectiles wiill land reducing the overall damage.

  • Overdrive increases the number of swords spawned, thus increasing the overall time and advantage

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 it is not a reversal due to the huge deadzone between Nu and the hitbox, many characters can comfortable meaty or pressure Nu with the exception of wide hurtboxes like Tager's.

  • Minimum damage: 960

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 only true defensive option.

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.
