Nova

As a high-schooler Richard Rider is chosen by a dying alien to receiving the power bestowed as a member of the Nova Corps. With his new roll Nova divides his time between saving the world and saving the universe. Nova was a founding member of the New Warriors and more recently is seen taking part in Steve Roger's Secret Avengers.

In a nutshell

An extremely versatile character, Nova can fulfill many roles in the game. His rushdown capabilities are rather notable, ranging from pressure to overhead mixups, especially with his unusual air dashes and varied hitboxes. As a zoning / keepaway character, he can create barriers, anti-air energy javelins, and has a Hyper combo for any situation. Additionally, he has the unique ability to enhance some of his Special moves and Hypers by consuming his remaining Red Life - both a curse and a blessing. If you want an extremely versatile character with strategic concerns, Nova is the intergalactic hero for you!

Tips and Tricks

Nova's air mobility, between his flight speed and his air dash, is incredible. Use this to run away and irritate the opponent, or use it for fast cross-ups and overhead mixups.
Nova's air has a large hitbox and is very fast on startup, while also pulling his "hurtbox" (the part of him that can take damage) in closer to the center, making this an astonishing safe move overall.
Because of the way Nova floats, his Nova Slam attack ( + ) can actually be used to attack while dodging low attacks. If you have your opponent scared, use this to test their reactions and probably inflict huge damage.
Nova's Crouching does not hit low, only his crouching and . Keep this in mind when attacking, as that extra light will give the opponent time to block low.
Air Dashing straight down with a light attack is a very fast overhead. Use this to open crouching opponents.
If you ever finish a combo with the Human Rocket Hyper, try to aim the last hit down. This will cause Nova to land very quickly, and give you an amazing reset opportunity.
Virtually any combo can be finished with an Centurion Rush , canceled into his Super Nova Hyper. This is often going to be the most damaging combo you can do.
Nova is one of the only characters to have a true X-Factor infinite. Centurion Rush causes a on any airborne opponent, and in X-Factor level 3, he can loop this bounce until the opponent is defeated, or X-Factor runs out.

Basic Strategy

Advanced Strategy

Strategy vs. Nova

As noted in the Tips above, Nova's crouching cannot hit low. During any given fight with Nova, you can spend much of the match simply blocking high. It will save you a lot of trouble.
Nova tends to be hesitant to use the moves that will drain his red health. This will often help, as you will see much less of the Gravimetric Pulse (barrier), and will give you more opportunities to get in. If he does use it, punish with a beam Hyper when able. This will both destroy the barrier, and deal huge damage to Nova, with the added bonus of him losing the previous red health.
Be wary of his surprisingly large hitboxes and throw range. He can easily confirm around 700k damage from almost any hit, and almost as much from a throw. He may be fast, but he can be zoned out, especially when he wants to play his own zoning game. Energy Javelin will cause problems in this strategy.
If all of the above seems contradictory, it's simply because Nova is so variable: he can do a bit of everything, and change strategies on a whim. Stay on your toes, and be prepared to change your strategy at a moment's notice. If you can control the flow and pacing of the match, you should be fine.

 * Nova's air mobility, between his flight speed and his air dash, is incredible. Use this to run away and irritate the opponent, or use it for fast cross-ups and overhead mixups.
-* Nova's air {{#motion: h}} has a large hitbox and is very fast on startup, while also pulling his "hurtbox" (the part of him that can take damage) in closer to the center, making this an astonishing safe move overall.

 * Air Dashing straight down with a light attack is a very fast overhead. Use this to open crouching opponents.
 * If you ever finish a combo with the Human Rocket Hyper, try to aim the last hit down. This will cause Nova to land very quickly, and give you an amazing reset opportunity.
-* Virtually any combo can be finished with an {{#motion: otg}} Centurion Rush {{#motion: l}} , canceled into his Super Nova Hyper. This is often going to be the most damaging combo you can do.

-* Nova tends to be hesitant to use the moves that will drain his red health. This will often help, as you will see much less of the Gravimetric Pulse {{#motion: h}} (barrier), and will give you more opportunities to get in. If he does use it, punish with a beam Hyper when able. This will both destroy the barrier, and deal huge damage to Nova, with the added bonus of him losing the previous red health.

 * Be wary of his surprisingly large hitboxes and throw range. He can easily confirm around 700k damage from almost any hit, and almost as much from a throw. He may be fast, but he can be zoned out, especially when he wants to play his own zoning game. Energy Javelin will cause problems in this strategy.
 * If all of the above seems contradictory, it's simply because Nova is so variable: he can do a bit of everything, and change strategies on a whim. Stay on your toes, and be prepared to change your strategy at a moment's notice. If you can control the flow and pacing of the match, you should be fine.
