How to deal with Fury as Nero regardless of Breaker.

[AnemoneMeer]

Theres obviously some easy methods to deal with him. Ragtime and Buster Arm come to mind immediately, but this is for all the times you don't have the luxury of setting up a perfect anti-fury loadout.

During his spawn in, he's wide open to breakages. You're probably going to want to pop one, but if you get there early, you can make use of a certain one of Nero's NG+ abilities (You know the one, the damage one).

Once the fight actually begins, constantly adjust your vertical and horizontal position. His tracking is actually abysmal and he'll whiff almost every single attack so just keep on the move. Rev exceed or air taunt ex-act for it (obviously the latter is vastly better) as you're gonna want at least one stock of exceed to effortlessly parry him. Stay low to the ground, your best answer is a grounded attack afterall.

Two attacks of his are effortless to beat. His crossed arms strike has a very visible telegraph, and his standing claw draw into warping right in front of your face is no harder. Both of these attacks are instantly countered by Ex-Shuffle. Ex-Shuffle projects a wall of damage in front of Nero during its second half, and is invincible during the first half. If he warpstrikes into it, you're just going to counterhit him with the parry every single time. Technically you can do this to every attack, but these are the two attacks that are free parries every time.

Once you land the parry, Snatch him in, launch him, and go to town. I've found he's a lot less likely to combo-break in the air.
