Special Moves:
Vert Annihilation: Nightmare charges Soul Edge with dark power and does two downward slam attacks with it, leaving the opponent crumpled if he connects.
Grim Stride: Nightmare does a short lunge forward. This can be followed up by an upward swing from Soul Edge that launches the opponent into the air.
Death Horn Charge: Nightmare charges at the opponent and impales them with Soul Edge before lifting them up and slamming them into the ground.
Grim Lord's Auto-da-fe: Nightmare kicks the opponent, then swipes at them with his claw. If he connects, Nightmare will grab the opponent by the throat and lift them up before releasing a burst of dark energy from his claw to blow them back.
Super Move: Soul Wave
Nightmare's body glows with dark power and expels an explosion of dark energy from his body, interrupting incoming attacks and launching the opponent into the air. For the next couple seconds after this move lands, Soul Edge will glow red with power, boosting the strength of Nightmare's attacks for a brief amount of time.
Ultimate Move: Dark Reconquista: Triumph
Nightmare plunges Soul Edge into the ground and releases an explosion of dark power from its blade. If it hits the opponent, Nightmare raises Soul Edge and points it towards the sky, drawing dark energy into the eye on Soul Edge's blade, before planting the sword into the ground and engulfing himself with a pillar of purple fire that knocks the opponent back. Nightmare then bursts out from the pillar of fire, riding on a horse made from dark energy, and the horse leaps into the air before charging at the opponent. Once he's close enough, Nightmare slashes through the opponent one last time with Soul Edge, followed by dispelling the horse and grinding to a halt behind the foe as they explode into dark fire.
