Nightwolf
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Great Rushdown: Nightwolf has some of the scariest rushdown in the game. His pressure consists of jabs, mid launchers and Shoulders.
  • Glitch Jab Launcher: One of Nightwolf's launchers (HPHPLPdfHP) begins with a HP, so it can be glitch jab option selected.
  • LK, HK, Sweep Punish: Nightwolf punishes LK, HK and Sweep with Shoulder. This is especially useful when combined with his glitch jab launcher.
  • Small Running Hurtbox: Nightwolf is one of the few characters who can run under instant air projectiles like Kabal's instant air gas blast or Mileena's instant air sai.
  • Good Anti Airs: Nightwolf's Axe is great for anti airing conventional jumping attacks and crossups.
  • Good Throw: Nightwolf's throw is very plus on hit and allows for a meaty.
  • Weak Punishment Mode Combo Damage: Nightwolf's Teleport punish is less than 40%.
  • Poor Jabs: Nightwolf's LP jab has poor range and priority. He relies on Shoulders and instant jump attacks to force glitch jabbing opponents into blockstun.
