The King of Fighters 2002 UM/Nameless

Normals

Close

• cl. A/B/C are cancel-able
• cl.A/B are chain-able
• cl.C does three hits, it's also cancel-able on any hit, great combo starter
• cl.D knocks the opponent down
• cl.D is also an overhead, and does hard knockdown

Stand

• Far A/B are whiff/cancel-able
• Far C has good reach and priority, nice poke attack if you space it

Crouch

• cr.A/B/D are whiff/cancel-able
• Crouch A/B are chain-able
• Crouch C does two hits and knocks down, if you space it you can avoid knocking them down
• Crouch D knocks the opponent down

Jump

• Jump B crosses up
• Jump C is a very good meaty attack/jump-in
• Jump A works a lot like j.C except with less range and priority
• Jump D has good range so it can be as an air-to-air, it's also an instant overhead

Blowback Attack

• CD comes out fast but the range is short, whiff/cancel-able
• Jump CD stays out for a good bit and the hitbox stretches to his other arm

Throw

Kobushi Kumo - (b/f+C)

• Nameless grabs the opponent then does a shoulder tackle to knock them down
• Can be broken
• Regular knockdown

Ura Kumo - (b/f+D)

• Nameless grabs the opponent then throws them over his shoulder and onto the ground, because of the hard knockdown it makes it perfect for throwing the opponent into the corner or setting them up to be hit by his Drill (Kaiten Katatokkan Ougi Rasen) SDM.
• Can be broken
• Reverse knockdown
• Hard Knockdown
• Combos into: Kaiten Katatokkan Ougi Rasen SDM

Command Moves

Senkou Ikusa Waza Yukikaze - (f+A)

• Nameless forms a drill with his left arm then steps forward to hit the opponent six times, it comes out fast to the point that it can combo from some light normals, gives good frame advantage on block, and if you space it can be used as a safe poke from as far as half-screen away because Nameless steps forward and the hitbox stretches to the end ofthe drill, however the drawbacks for this move inlucde that it isn't cancel-able at all unless you use it to activate MAX mode, it gives you next to no meter whether you use it in a combo or not, and it suprisingly doesn't chip health or guard meter, it's suggest that you use it after a normal (stand/crouch) or after his Ashi Katana Ikusawaza Shigure command.
• Good frame advantage on block
• Combos from: st./cr.X, Ashi Katana Ikusawaza Shigure (f+B)
• Combos into: Max mode activation

Ashi Katana Ikusawaza Shigure - (f+B)

• Nameless steps forward to kick the opponent in the face with his left leg, kinda slow start-up but it goes just as far as his Senkou Ikusa Waza Yukikaze command normal, the special thing about this command normal is that it's free cancel-able into not only special attacks and DM's but other command normals as well, this move is definetly very unique to Nameless because it helps him string together very powerful many other characters can't do, it does more damage when canceled into but since it has a slow start-up it is highly suggested that you use it after a strong normal that does a lot of hit-stun, st.C will work just fine
• Free Cancel-able
• Combo from: Strong Normals
• Combo into: Senkou Ikusa Waza Yukikaze (f+A), Kasanekyaku Ikusawaza Shinonome (df+D), weak Chisou Katame (qcf+A), Taikuu Katame (dp+P), Senkou Katame (db/hcb/df+P), and Kaiten Katatokkan (d/f/df+ABCD)

Kasanekyaku Ikusawaza Shinonome - (df+D)

• Nameless does a slide attack hitting the opponent in the legs, a pretty simple command normal compared to his other two, this move also does not knockdown so using it for the sake of using it is out of the question, to put it bluntly this move is strictly used to start Max Mode combos or help them along so you can call it a "carry move", outside of this Max mode this move is likely to never get used because it doesn't knockdown and it isn't cancel-able, but in terms of Max Mode this mode can start them on hit then go from their, and while amidst the canceling it can be used in place of the Kyoushou Katame (qcb+D) because in some cases you may need to switch it up, and it hits low so if you get a hit in there's your chance.
• Hits low
• Combos from: Strong Normals, Ashi Katana Ikusawaza Shigure (f+B)
• Combos into: Max Mode activation

Special Moves

Chisou Katame Shutou Ikusawaza Sawarabi - (qcf+ A/C)

• Nameless leans forward to take the glove off his left hand to send out a large crimson red circular flame to hit the opponent a few times, the weak version comes out quick making it some what spammable and very easy to combo into, does three to five hits total depending on where you use it (far range, mid range, close range) and it does not knock the opponent down, the strong version comes out a bit slower making it a lot harder to combo into so it's more of a okizeme tool, does anywhere from one hit to six but it again varies depending on where you use it, the weak version can be a very powerful zoning tool because it comes out really fast, the strong version when spaced works well against opponents that are getting up from being grounded because of it's priority and lasting hitbox, one of the drawbacks for this move is that it requires constant spacing if you want to use it in succession, the problem is that the hitbox on shifts so that the time you can expect to hit the opponent is when they're right smack in the middle of the flame as soon as it starts up, if they're right in front of you you may not hit them at all and then you'll be left wide open to be punished so remember that, it also builds next to no meter but that really that big a deal, this move can also nullify other projectiles, does a nice amount of chip damage, and both versions are super cancel-able on hit.
• Super Cancel-able on hit
• Nullifies Projectiles
• Combos from: Strong normals, Ashi Katana Ikusawaza Shigure (f+B)
• Combos into: Senkou Katame (db/hcb/df+P), and Kaiten Katatokkan (d/f/df+ABCD)

Taikuu Katame Shutou Ikusawaza Yoi Tsuki - (dp+A/C)

• Nameless swings his left arm forward to hit the opponent with a red ember flame knocking them into the air,
