Task can tk swing to down shot.land and do a combo. It is not easy.maybe char specific but I didn’t test much. I’ve wanted to run task w strider for a while but I won’t unless the pickup seems doable.

So, I recently just picked up Strider about 2 or 3 days ago. I also like to keep him as anchor with doom as the 2nd. I was wondering what would make a good point character for this team. Hopefully someone here can help me?
Wesker. He builds much meter, benefits from both <insertwhateverDoomassistyou’reusing> and especially Vajra since it covers his main weakness: aerial opponents. Add the fact that he can do scoop combos from the hard knockdown that Vajra gives, he’s a good choice for your team.
I’ll try Wesker out, but are there any other characters besides Wesker?
Looking to have a little fun with strider teams. going to try my hand with Zero/_____/Strider…with akuma wesker and hawkeye filling in the blank. wonder which one is going to be most useful. i really like akuma but no life…who needs it.
Actually, both of you could use each other’s characters. I’ve seen Zero(whateverassistyou’reusing)/Doom(Missiles)/Strider(Vajra) being used by one of my friends and most of his opponents can’t even escape the missiles OR Zero because they really compliment each other very well. If the opponent super jumps, Strider’s there to bring them back down and you could continue your rushdown with Zero. Also, both of them build so much meter for Strider in case you want XF3+Orbs derp.
Dormammu’s a good choice too for xxx/Doom(missiles)/Strider(Vajra) and if you’ve seen FChamp play Dorm with Doom Missiles, I guess I won’t need to explain much.
Other than those, I can recommend Deadpool, Hawkeye, Akuma, Dante, Morrigan, and Spencer though I can’t elaborate since I don’t have experience playing these characters or seeing them with Strider.
Best to worst IMO. Wesker,Dante,Virgil,captn ,doom,hawkeye ,dorm,Frank,Mags
Honorable mentions
Modok , super skull, nova , sentinel, storm,deadpool, Arthur,
Might be leaving a few out.will update later .

I’m thinking of running Strider (Vajra)/ Strange (Bolts)/ Ammy (Cold Star) or Racoon (Spitfire or Log). What are things Point Strider needs?
Point strider needs a fast beam.then whatever else you want.
I think strider/ammy/mags would be brutal and flexible
Strider/ammy/raccoon would be fun. Use log trap instead though. It serves the same purpose as the beam (albeit not as good)and also nets lots of happy bdays .

Hey guys, I just picked up strider and this is the composition of my team. Chris/Strider(vajra)/Morrigan(DH)
The thing about Chris is that he can one touch death most of the point characters and can zone well especially with the Vajra assist. If he dies, at least Strider as SOME mobility to get out of in coming mixups. At this point im looking to use Orbs + Harmonizer when I can. I can get roughly 1 and a half meter while in orbs with the Morrigan assist if everything goes ok. Now Strider can do quite well on his own with pets plus teleport and satellite shenanigans. He may have trouble converting into big damage, but as soon as I get another 3 meters im going to use orbs when I can. And then we have morrigan lvl 3 X factor.
Any thoughts or changes?
I think Chris/Morrigan/Strider would work better because Morrigan would really benefit from Vajra, locking your opponents with Bullet Hell and Vajra is there for AA in case your opponents would like to super jump to get to you. Also, the fact that Strider is a better anchor than Morrigan IMO gives you more reason to switch their places.
I’ve seen one Japanese player use Morrigan/Wesker/Strider in a tourney stream last week iirc. Forgot his name though. You might want to check his playstyle out for that Morrigan/Strider synergy though you need to find out what’s his name first to research on him. lol
Good suggestions. i’m gonna try skrull since he’s quite a bit different from the other two and is heavy on the mindgames not execution.
Skull would take work but I think it would be worth it. Vajra can setup Kara elastic slams . Off vajra hd here’s a good combo.
J. 6 a+b air dash thing, 2.h. dash.s. really slow m,m,h,s. Full charge h. Full charge j.s. dash, s.s, super jump cancel inferno, then another inferno if you have bar.

messed around with skrull he seems like a much slower spencer…and his assists are pretty shitty. i do see some potential though. the jill boards buzz about how strider helps her …i don’t see that either other than forced them to the ground but strider does that for everyone.
For whoever was wanting to run task/strider I did some research and you can get pickups off vajra . Its hard to explain but ill include it in a vid I’m making later this week. Basically you can assist vajra do m charge shot then do a combo that does 600k ish.

Currently running Chris Dante Strider. I think it can work.
Agreed. That looks like a solid ass team. I had some Chris/strider theories I never really tested. Team hyper with Chris/Dante is probably sick with potential for mega danger on Inc char. I’m working on task/Virgil/strider atm. Should be polishing my adv bnb but I just started playing dark souls last week.daaaaaang.

Has anyone tried a keepaway strategy with Strider? I’m thinking of using Strider/Hawkeye(arrows)/Vergil(rapid slash) but I’m worried about Strider’s projectile durability.
Not as good as you’d think. Rapid slash is terrible for zoning with strider . Missiles , drones or jam session work. Dante is probably the best 2nd pick for strider on point I think.

So I just got UMvC3 the other day and have been trying to figure out a team. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve tested out with Strider so far (dat speed, but not dat damage) and think I’d like to pick him up. The teams I’m looking at right now are Chris (Gunfire)/Vergil (rapid slash)/Strider (Vajra) which gives me good zoning and most of the assists help someone else (gunfire is a poor man’s beam and cna cover both Vergil and strider on approach, Vajra is just amazing, etc). The other team I’m looking at is Frank (Cart) or Skrull (tenderizer or Stone Smite)/Vergil (rapid slash)/Strider (Vajra). Any suggestions on changes I could make to characters or assists? I know Hidden Missiles and Drones are both great, but I don’t really like playing those characters when they’re on point.
