I know why C-sword I play nightwolf a little bit and my friend has a good Freddy.
It's because you have to get in just like a Jade player does. And since your pressure is terrible, Freddy can get out easily.
You can't stay on him long before he's free to zone you again.
You can't shoulder charge him. He'll just do his claw stance which has him in ducking status. Then he can clean your clock witha combo. If you jump at him while he's in this stance. he can still clean your clock with an anti air. HE can also cancel his stance into
claw/projectile.
that STANCE ALONE is the reason he rapes nightwolf.
your reflect doesn't do good.
because the claws are physical. and to reflect, you gotta be either full screen waiting in block. which leaves you free to claw pressure.
If you're midscreen and try to reflect, well you have to commit and it's a guess.
Just anytime he's shoulder charge distance go into claw stance.
Freddy recovers from projectiles so fast,
you can trade I'm pretty sure at full screen even if nightwolf reflects it. I wanna say I think you can even shoot a low hand claw, cuz it's slow. he'll try to reflect it, and you can hit him with ground spikes, and still block in time.
