Nightmare is a heavy-hitter with the cursed Soul Edge, focusing on raw power and devastating attacks. He has incredible damage output, strong ring-out potential, and several unblockable attacks. His 'Grim Stride' (214) stance allows for powerful follow-ups. His main weakness is his slow speed and large hit-box, making him vulnerable to quick, agile characters who can get in and out. He relies on punishing mistakes.
