After losing her arms to Ryūko Matoi, Nui appeared to be without use for Ragyo - and yet, her creator gave her new arms. Now that Shinra-Kōketsu is done, Nui can dedicate all her time to fighting everyone who defies the Life Fibers... no matter how much it will cost.

Character Information
Strengths
Weaknesses
Can teleport over various distances to get the drop on opponents
High meter gain
Devastating damage output
One of the fastest walking speeds in the game
Can travel long distances in the blink of an eye with the use of d.A, allowing for surprise attacks
Valor 1 EX moves unlocked by default unlike the Scissor Blade variant
Has somewhat clunky controls, this makes timing certain combos difficult
Forward dash, back dash, and forward air dash are dash cancelable.
Gameplan
Fiber Arms Nui's gameplan can vary slightly depending on the opponent. Generally though, as Fiber Arms Nui, you want to keep your opponent under pressure. Thanks to her incredibly fast walk speed and her teleports (which she can change depending on how long you hold the B button), Nui can start a lot of surprise attacks which the enemy needs to react to. This allows you to also play defensive if needed and intercept dash attacks for example.
Using valor is obsolete on her since she has by default Valor 1 and with that, her EX moves unlocked which, in exchange for 1 meter bar, can make for some evil surprise attacks too. Sp. A removes the opponents meter bar entirely and can be connected after certain A enders - essentially a mini version of Houka Inumuta. Patience is needed with Fiber Arms Nui, but if you can do that and know what your opponent will do, or can trick them into doing a mistake, you will obliterate enemies with her.
