For those who haven't seen.

I like the effect, but honestly, I'm more curious about her support.

That is a pretty awesome ability. I cannot wait to see the rest of the characters.

I do like the ability a lot. It's different from what we have been seeing in that its banking on probabilities more so than pure pumps and such. It's also basicly 2 abilities in one that dosent commit to be used.

I can alread think of some good fun combos for that ability. Air pile Driver, Abelia's Friendship for gains, but im sure her support will help her in similar ways. A good start to say the least.

oo she is the hotness...

time to try to make a deck around her for miniblock

Dairya is still mad about the time she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...but she's a little happier that there's yet another new character she can steal abilities from without committing.

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest Tekken fan, but if this is a glimpse of things to come, Nina may have me more interested in the new set..despite the fact that someone dropped the ball by omitting Jin!

All I have to say about this is two things : I can't wait for her support cause yall know there's going to be mad good s##t comin and two she's broken as hell and I like it cause death and void just got even better.

Well, I called all 3 of her symbols =D

Perhaps the most interesting thing about revealing a character like her first is simply that you KNOW her support is going to work well with her, because while her ability is definitely handy (somewhat a reverse **Lord Raptor**), it'd otherwise be not as good without her support.

Cool spoil.

yes more mill characters

Goo said:

Exactly what I was thinking. Plus she has good symbols for mill

does alot more than mill. you also know their cc when they dont

Goo said:

Agreed but I won't be using her for mill (of course I won't be using her at all).

Kind of a nice preview, on Air, of whether they'll be able to block or not.

Goo said:

Ugh, NO! That is obviously NOT her aggressive intent! >_<

i will definately try her for mill, though i think she might work better as death control. she nukes 5 and 6 handers cause she can snipe attacks from there deck so they can't draw them.

Tut tut, Shinji. She's a woman, she can multi-task.

She'll go Air Aggro in one place, then Mill Void elsewhere, and finish it off with some good old Death shenanigans.

Seems like she'd take forever to mill somebody. I'd rather just use her for agro-control. "snipe" their best card and arrange their checks to screw over blocking.

Sweet delicious mill.

if her suport is any way mill related she could be great mill. even without suport i still think her+power bomb is enough to mill if your deck is heavy control.

Well the fact that she is this verstatile shows a lot for the design of it. I dont remember if she matches anything on the wonderwold asset that removes stuff from the game but to be sure its a healthy combo if she does.

I do feel like the best bet is to run her aggressivley and play with probabilities as oppsed to mill. Using all of Ivys deck stacking foudnations + her ability you can easily give your opponent thier hand every turn, and prevent them from ever getting specific cards. I also feel there is totally something to her + collecting data, just not sure what yet.

Pretty good for 6x10

Protoaddict said:

Yeah they both have Air.

I like her. and her symbols. I'd probably run her as a Air control/hybrid deck with Abelia's and Wonderworld and simply use her to snipe out problem foundations or REALLY nasty attacks.

I'd never use her as mill, while it's more then possible there are just so many better characters off of Good and All that can do it so much better.

I more and more want a playset of shredding Vibratos just thinking of an air control deck that plays it for the win and stack there check when they go for the block im sure there are enough damage pumps to make that viable

ghetto -- why not just use Tiger Fury?

Wafflecopter said:

Air/Death spread is actually pretty boss. Allows for way much more control than just Air.

I'm already thinking of an extremely aggressive Nina. I think, finally, Through the Defenses might see play. But yeah, her ability is perfect for stacking bad checks.
