Don't know about the negative emotions, but the rest isn't quite true:

Siegfried and Soul Calibur do not have to die with Soul Edge to defeat Nightmare (nothing ever once came up involving Siegfried having to die). In fact, Soul Edge doesn't even need to be permanently destroyed in order for Guts to get the win. At minimum, he just has to immobilize him.

You can't really judge intro feats as canon (with possibly the exception of SCV's, which depicts Siegfried and Nightmare's final battle). However, yes, his shockwave bubble ability will be an effective attack.

I highly doubt Night Terror will be in the battle for three reasons:

1. Night Terror was essentially a secret boss, who had to be reached under very strict and specific conditions. 2. Nightmare would require the powers of both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur to achieve the transformation as stated by Night Terror's bio. 3. In canon, Nightmare has never once transformed into that form. At the end of SCIII, the only game that it has ever appeared in, he and Siegfried battled in the lost cathedral with their respected blades, destroyed the cathedral, and nearly killed each other during said destruction (Taki herself had witnessed it).
