Practice makes perfect

Any of the moves from Nina’s moveset can be combined to make your own combo, even if some are more powerful than others. We recommend taking time in training to disover what you like best.

These combos will all pack a powerful punch from Nina, taking out the most damage with just a few moves. Nina’s moveset incorporates her guns this time around, so she’ll also fire them when using specific combos, and when going into Heat. Her Flash Kicks (J+J+J+K) are also an incredibly useful tool in her kit, being quick but brutal.

While these combos all take huge hits off your opponent, Nina’s entire moveset can be used to your advantage to wipe out others.
