Hey guys, I wanted to make a second team and thought Strider is pretty bad ass character with a nice assist (and his colors match my other characters) so I thought it would be worth my time to put him on a team. My main team is Spidey(web ball)/Iron Fist(rising fang)/Doom(missiles), and my team with strider is Spider-man(web ball)/Doom(beam)/Strider(vajra). I noticed a couple pages back that Pervert_q said that you won’t have a good time having strider as an anchor if your point is spider-man, but I also saw other people with Spidey on point, so I’m not sure If I should keep practicing this new team or not. Pevert_q, would you mind giving me reasons why it is a bad idea to have Spider/strider on a team? I just want to know if I should keep trying or just not even waste my time with this new team. Thanks in advance.
Not bad simply because all 3 characters are solid to great anchors and as long as Morrigan doesn’t die the team is very scary. Strider isn’t really Dorm’s best assist but it isn’t useless for him either. It’s just a good team from the front and also because no matter who they kill off they have to deal with a character that’s very capable on their own with XF. You’re not going to get as much utility from the team after the point dies as Dorm/Doom, but you trade that for a better anchor and a still very solid assist.
Sup gang. Thinking about making my Chris team Chris/Viper/Strider. Chris/Strider is really good considering Strider covers his blind spot, Chris can combo off Vajras, and Strider extends his grenade super in the corner. Basically I’m looking for good Strider shells that arn’t Vergil/Strider Doom/Strider. Any recommendations? Not a big fan of the Wesker,Magneto,Vergil, Doom (overused chars).
I recommend Captain America, Chris, Dante, Deadpool, Felicia, Firebrand, Hawkeye, Morrigan, Nova, Rocket Raccoon, Spencer, Viper, and Zero since they get a lot from Vajra in terms of getting a full combo from a Vajra HKD and/or zoning capability.
That’s not true. Dorm can convert vajra hd into nice dmg. 1r1b 2r1b 2b1r all are confirmable. You can also pick up with flame carpet at max possible distance and relaunch. I have two setups in my vid I posted.

Spiderman has good stuff with strider but it suffers the same way Spencer does. There are just way better assists you can use. You’ll miss out on good combo damage. In fact the only team that’d be worth using would be spider/doom/strider but since you need missiles for combos your zoning/neutral game really suffer much.

Ok I understand. For one meter I can still get around 800k using Vajra for combo extension, more or less depending on if I start off the combo with a c.:l:, j.:h:, web throw, etc. Plus spider-man has some really sick resets and air throw set ups, so I am pretty confident I can kill a character if I touch them with spider-man. I have another team that gets way more damage with spider-man, but it has Iron Fist on it and he can’t really confirm as well from the air and tbh I didn’t really like anchor Doom. Also, Doom is a lot better with vajra backing him compared to Rising Fang. Overall, with more experience with this team, I think I can make it work. Thanks for the response.
I don’t mean to bug you, but I have one more question. Do you think 800k will do for a my bnb? I am pretty sure it is meter positive, but I doubt it builds two meters on its own.
Yea as long as you have the option to kill a character for two bars and you can do optimised web throw loops then it should be fine. Also if you want a neat doom setup with strider check out the video I posted.

You’re talking about the team compilation preview that you posted in the video thread right? That full screen confirm off of a plasma beam is some good shit man. I always get people with the plasma beams but I don’t really get anything out of it. Also, since you are making a team compilation vid I think I should tell you about some nice stuff that you can do with Spider-Man/Strider.
- if you throw out a web ball and then call vajra, you can get a full combo because web ball puts them in the air once you hit them after it. I do this a lot on Hulks because web ball gives zero fucks about armored moves. You might be able to get a full screen confirm if you web zip cancel the web ball.
- For combo extension, you can call vajra, c.:h:, launch, then TK a medium web throw at the right time. I usually do this after a spider-sting because you have plenty of time to do it.
- If you call vajra then go for an IOH j.:l: you can get a full combo, as compared to getting nothing off of an IOH j.:l: without vajra on a crouching opponent.
- Spider-man can’t confirm off of ground throws, but if you call vajra while you throw he can. This isn’t very practical though because it is very risky and you would need to make the opponent learn to block all the time so you can try to go for the throw set up, so it isn’t very useful in all situations.
Cool stuff. That doom confirm really isn’t all that bad if you dash correctly.

Thanks.
Yeah the dashing over there doesn’t seem too much harder than picking someone up after a forward ground throw.
Pretty much

Looking to build a unique Strider team with more than a few mixups what do you guys think of Strider/ Hsienko/Ammy? Vajra/senpu bu/ cold star
Do you have a link to the video by any chance?
Just look on the last page of the blue dragon thread

I had actually entertained a team similar to that for a while. You can combo zoo into hk power up and raw tag strider back in or do more combo. Hsienko actually can get decent dmg off vajra but you need a bar for sword super. I was thinking strider/hsienko/Dante jam session.

I think I’ll play it for a bit…and yea the dhc was what made me look at the team to begin with well see how it plays im new to strider but not to umvc3 I think I’ll end up with Dante/ Hawkeye / strider I like having a left/right mixup and Dante/strider is vicious
what do you guys think about Trish/____/strider…i know strider doesn’t give her a whole lot outside of making her more annoying to get in on which is really the point of her IMO. Doing decent random damage then there’s always the otg into super. the filler character would most likely be zero.
^ I actually ran Trish/Vergil/Strider for a while. She’s definitely really annoying with strider assist plus rapid slash assist to push people back. When you do finally get random damage into super, you can dhc to vergil for crazy damage as well.
Eh the problem is your running Trish without an unblockable …
