Yeah and I sort of forgot about disallowing a FF charqcter considering I did it for BlazBlue. That being said though, FF has tons of games that aren’t connected to one another which sort of makes sense while BB has a shared continued universe. If I would of thought of it, I would have disallowed Final Fantasy.
But Cammy is brit.
I forgot

Thank you everyone for submitting content and taking the time to vote for a second time! I feel dragging this out further won't be in our best interest.
Here is how the voting turned out! This was a really hard voting period and the submissions were neck and neck for much of the voting process.

Yes, we have our third and final Namco newcomer in the form of Nightmare. He joins along with Agumon and Lloyd Irving to round off Namco represention in Infinite. This also brings a new fighting game character and, with it, the mechaincs and gameplay that SoulCalibur is largely known for. He also brings Siul Edge, his cursed blade that brings chaos to the battlefield. Nightmare's color affiliation with be purple. Congrats to Nightmare supporterd! We will begin moveset and gameplay submissions once I get some stuff taken care of.

Fighter #1 for Season 3 decided!
| Guard Impact | By tilting forwards slightly while triggering a Perfect Shield, Nightmare generates a wind box in front of himself that slightly pushes his for away and gives him an opening to strike. |
| Revenge | Some of Nightmare's moves have counter-frames during start-up. Triggering these frames allows Nightmare to counterattack with Dire Vengeance, an omnidirectional blast the size of Thwack that deals 1.4x the damage he would've taken and also gives him a temporary boost to his stats. |
| Night Stances | Nightmare has access to three different stances that he can use to mix up his foes. |
| Night Side: A stance where Nightmare holds the sword with his monstrous hand. | A: Soul Biter: A lunging horizontal chop with Soul Edge. Deals 7% damage and stuns on hit. Hold A to transition back into Night Side Stance after the attack. Forward Tilt: Night Front Kick: A lunging thrust kick. Deals 5.2% damage and low knockback. Back Tilt: Phantom Splitter: An underhanded upwards slash. Can hit above Nightmare and has great horizontal range, to boot. Deals 11.2% damage and medium-high knockback. Up Tilt: Phantom Star: A telegraphed upwards slash that crumples on hit. Deals 9% damage. Hold A to transition into Night Behind Stance. Down Tilt: Skull Chopper: An upwards-angled horizontal sword slash advancing forwards. Is great for trading with shorthopping opponents as Nightmare can avoid many aerials with this attack. Deals 7.7% damage and low-medium knockback. |
| Night Behind: A stance where Nightmare holds Soul Edge down his back. | A: Knee Kick Rush: An advancing two-hit knee attack. Deals 4% and 5% damage and low-medium knockback. Side-Tilt: Terror Sweeper: A leaping sweeping sword strike. Deals 7.5% damage and low knockback with a high chance to trip. Hold A to transition from Terror Sweeper to Night Side Stance. Up-tilt: Terror Vortex: An underhanded upwards strike with Soul Edge, dealing 7.2% damage and strong knockback. Double-tap side: Transition into Dash Attack. |
| Night Lower: A stance where Nightmare crouches, holding Soul Edge level with the ground. | A: Leg Hacker: A hitstun-inducing slice of the legs. Deals 6.1% damage. Hold A to transition into Night Side Stance. F-tilt: Death Horn Charge: A lunging stab with Soul Edge. If anyone hits, he will smash them into the earth while they’re hung onto Soul Edge. The attack deals 4% and 9% respectively, with the second hit dealing strong horizontal knockback. Hold A to trade the grab from Death Horn Charge with a transition into Night Behind Stance. U-tilt: Death Lifting Kick: An upwards-angled knee followed by an upwards kick. Deals 3% and 5% respectively and deals medium-level knockback. Double-tap joystick: Transition into Dash Attack. |
| Neutral Special: Soul Wave | A telegraphed, omnidirectional blast around Nightmare 1.5x the size of his Shield. Deals 10% damage and medium-high knockback. If hit during start-up, this attack initiates Dire Vengeance. |
| Side Special: Double Avenger | A lunging two-hit strike that deals a total of 13% damage and strong knockback. Has excellent disjointed hitboxes and goes 1/3 the width of Battlefield. If hit during start-up, this attack initiates Dire Vengeance. |
| Up Special: Night Terror | Sprout fiery wings and ascend upwards with a force of a meteor. Tap B again to follow up with a Devil Blaster-like beam downwards. The ascent deals 8% damage and medium-high knockback while the downwards beam deals 14% damage and high knockback. |
| Down Special: Reversal Edge | A two-stage Special that starts with Nightmare performing a delayed downwards slash dealing 6% damage. If he hits, both Nightmare and his opponent (with the closest being prioritized in free-for-alls) will engage in a rock-paper-scissors match that uses the A, B, and Y buttons. Nightmare has a unique set of attacks when engaging, though enemies that aren't another Nightmare will default to their tilts. B beats A, Y beats B and A beats Y. A: Calculated Slaughter: A quick and strong horizontal swing that deals 11.5% damage and strong downwards-angled knockback. The opponent uses F-tilt with this button. B: Crown Splitter: A leaping downwards slash that deals 15.3% damage, strong knockback, and spikes anyone in collateral. The opponent uses U-tilt with this button. Y: Crimson Fountain: Nightmare reaches forward and grabs the foe, draining a portion of their soul to gain Terror Charge before tossing them away. Deals 9.4% damage and low knockback. The opponent uses D-tilt with this button. |
| Jab: Plague Spreader | A smack with the sharp edge of Soul Edge, followed by a backhanded spinning slash. The first hit deals 3.2% while the second hit deals 6.8% damage and medium-level knockback. Tilt the joystick to initiate Dash Attack. Hold A during the first hit to transition from Plague Spreader to Night Side Stance. |
| F-tilt: Adamantine Cracker | A quick lunging haymaker with his demonic arm. Deals 9.6% damage and medium knockback. If hit during start-up, this attack initiates Dire Vengeance. |
| DF-tilt: Jade Slicer | A crouching backhanded claw swipe with his demonic arm. Deals 7.2% damage and flinches at early percentages, but deals low knockback at later percentages. |
| D-tilt: Earth Trample | A stomping attack that can hit opponents while they're prone. This attack deals 8.7% damage and medium knockback. Hold A to increase start-up but create an explosion that deals AoE damage. |
| DB-tilt: Dark Soul Impact | A mighty sword stab with Soul Edge level with the ground. Has great poking potential. Deals 10.3% damage and medium-low upwards knockback. |
| B-tilt: Back Blade | An advancing wide slash. Is capable of hitting behind Nightmare in later stages of the attack. Deals 9.7% damage and medium knockback. |
| UB-tilt: Triple Headbutt | A three-input attack, similar to a Jab or Kazuya's Roundhouse to Triple Spin Kicks, where Nightmare strikes with his head three times. Is better for set-ups than others. Hit 1: 3% Hit 2: 3.5% Hit 3: 5.5% Total: 12% |
| U-tilt: Upper Claw | A clawed uppercut with his demonic arm. Has good vertical range and can be used as an anti-air. Deals 10% damage and medium knockback with good scaling. Tilt the joystick to initiate Dash Attack. Hold A to transition from Upper Claw to Night Behind Stance. |
| UF-tilt: Ether Splitter | A sword uppercut with Soul Edge. Gives Nightmare forwards momentum, making it good for approaches. Deals 12.1% damage and strong upwards knockback. Hold A to transition from Ether Splitter to Night Behind Stance. |

| Crouching DF-tilt: Maelstrom | A double-spinning horizontal slash, that strikes behind Nightmare. The first hit deals 3.5% damage and the second hit deals 7.5% damage and low-medium knockback. Tilt the joystick to initiate Dash Attack. Hold A during the first hit to transition from Maelstrom to Night Side Stance. |
| Crouching DB-tilt: Shadow Slicer | A downwards sword slash aimed at the legs that has a high chance of tripping your foe. Deals 9% damage and low knockback. Hold A to delay the attack to instead deal 12% damage and low-medium knockback. |
| A: Grim Riser | A jumping knee that stuns opponents on hit with electric damage. Deals 5.4% damage and very weak knockback. |
| F-tilt: Grim Fang | A lunging sideways claw strike. Deals 4.5% damage and weak knockback. |
| B-tilt: Evil Eye | Nightmare hoists Soul Edge and smashes its eye into the foe, dealing 10.3% damage and medium knockback. Has armor frames at the start, but does not trigger Dire Vengeance. |
| B: Grim Launcher | A retreating upwards slash that deals 11.3% damage and very high knockback. Tilt the joystick and tap A to initiate another Grim Stride. |
| Side Smash: Blood Storm | An advancing double horizontal slash. Start-up frames can be triggered to initiate Dire Vengeance and give Nightmare a Terror Charge. The first hit deals a minimum of 6% damage, the second hit deals a minimum of 14%, and medium-high knockback. Use F-tilt to transition from Blood Storm to Night Side Stance. Use B-tilt to transition from Blood Storm to Night Behind Stance. |
| Up Smash: Midnight Launcher | An advancing upwards double-slash. The first hit deals a minimum of 7% damage and the second hit deals a minimum of 9% damage and strong upwards knockback. Hold A to transition from Midnight Launcher to Night Behind Stance. |
| Down Smash: Soul Smasher | A downwards stab into the ground. If anyone is hit, he’ll follow up with a blast of dark magic that damages anyone in an AoE. Can also hit prone opponents. Deals 4% damage with the stab, and a minimum of an extra 9.5% damage and strong downwards knockback with the blast. |
| Grab/Pummel | Nightmare reaches out and lifts the opponent by the neck for his grab. He sinks his claws into their body for his pummel, dealing 2.4% damage between long increments. Much like Kazuya, many of Nightmare's throws have cinematic camerawork in one-on-one battles. |
| F-throw: Soul Devour | Nightmare smashes the pommel of Soul Edge into the foe's back before following up with a gut punch with his demonic arm and finally capping off with a ground slam. Deals 3%, 3%, and 7% respectively and deals strong knockback. |
| D-throw: Doom's Invitation | An upwards throw followed by an executioner’s chop with Soul Edge as they’re falling down. The throw deals no damage, but the executioners chop deals 12.1% damage and strong knockback, and damages outside opponents as collateral. |
| B-throw: Shoulder Claw Throw | Nightmare does a judo throw over himself before smashing his spiked shoulder into their body. The throw itself deals 4% damage and the shoulder spike deals 5.5% damage and low knockback. |

Backwards: Over Toss: Nightmare throws the opponent to be directly above him. |
| N-air: Fatal Spin Slash | A spinning horizontal slash that hits on both sides. Deals 7% damage and low-medium knockback. |
| F-air: Drop Kick | Nightmare thrusts both his feet in front of himself. Deals 12.3% damage and strong knockback. |

| U-air: Fatal Buster | A leaping downwards slash that strikes above Nightmare. Deals 11.7% damage and strong knockback normally, but has a spiking sweet spot at the end of the arc that spikes. |
I say we stick with the Siegfried incarnation, but we could toss the Inferno incarnation in there as an alternate costume.Goliso's moveset is PERFECT, but I have one question, which Nightmare we will use?
For context, Nightmare had 3 (4 but I don't think Kilik!Nightmare is canonic) hosts, the most iconic is Siegfried, yet we also have Dumas and Inferno who also has their fans (I personally like a lot Inferno!Nightmare's look), most likely it would be Siegfried and any of the both would be some sort of skin but I just wanted to ask.
