Besides spending a few weeks using Noel, isn't the best way to learn Noel's mix-ups would be to fight her close range and she what she can pull off? And the solution to the single mess-up going into massive damage is to not mess-up, right? If you continuously put yourself into situations where failure leads to lots of damage, you will eventually learn not to fail. At least, that is the theory i believe.

So it was a timing issue. I figured that but i could never time 6A right so i wanted to verify it. And thanks for the advice about creating space, but since i fight from close range with Nu, creating space would just make me have to get close again, which is difficult against a good Noel. Unless you have any advice for how to get close to a Noel?

what can you do against a Noel who just air dashes at you using jA? i would like a way that doesn't rely on using Nu's anti-air swords, since this Noel used it close range and it seemed like both 6A and 2C failed to stop it.

Does 5D stop an act pulsar before they go behind or does it stop after they get behind you? Very few of the Nu players I have faced have used act pulsar so I don't have a lot of practice on how to stop it.

I recently discovered (after someone named Moeblob whooped me 7 times straight) that trying to zone a better Nu player is foolish so I started to be aggressive and unpredictable. Act Parser to their opposite side whenever you can and approach from the air (make sure you can block on reaction) .You should also be able to recognize a sword whiff and punish it. If you have a really bad time with it, why don't you try setting up a Nu training session with some of the Nu players on Dustloop? I assume some of them would be happy to help you.
