Nightmare (Soul Calibur) Matchup Thread

[Stillwinston]

Okay so this is the first time I've ever done something like this so please bare with me. Wanna try and find matches for my lad Nightmare and for the sake of a tale of souls and swords eternally retold.

Nightmare (Soul Calibur)

So things to note for Nightmare.

• Looking for matches either in his High 6-A key or 5-C key. AP for the former is Nightmare far upscaling from 14.8 Exatons. AP for 5-C is Nightmare being above baseline being far superior to Abyss who created a solar eclipse just by transforming. Can accept folks outside these tiers though if the hax can make up for it.
• Nightmare will generally lead with an AOE shockwave that will Soul Manip on hit, even being hit by the sword can induce this alongside corruption that will turn you into a malfested. Basically a slave of the sword and possible host.
• If you kill Nightmare but don't destroy Soul Edge the sword it will attempt to do one of two things, either trying to mind manip you into grabbing the blade and becoming its new host. Or BFR-ing you into Astral Chaos which can affect you in body, mind and soul and you'd have to fight Inferno there. Usually it attempts the former first rather than the latter.
• Besides all this speed will be equalised with SBA. So lets raise thy sword!

Is the speed slow thought based? Nightmare only needs to lift his sword up for his soul AOE attack to start, if you don't destroy Soul Edge it can BFR you to Astral Chaos with a thought assuming it doesn't try to mentally tempt someone to pick up the sword.

Borderline passive. And most of the peeps that used those straight up doesn't have soul.

Hmmmmm now that I think on it, Nightmare in his 5-C key should have Inorganic Phys cause its literally just a suit of Sieg's discarded armour given will by Inferno
