Ive been reading a lot of post here but just to mention that here you will find teams with strider on point, I want to use it but as an anchor and with his best friend, doom in the middle, and looking for a good point character.
Ive been watching Clocks team and is really cool and all, but one thing I was looking was that team has to spend xfactor once in a while, and by that, in a bad situation, anchor strider will suffer…so what char can be used to benefit from doom/strider?
Honestly I don’t play Strider but it always amazes me how few people play Zero/Doom/Strider. I mean that is probably easily the best Doom/Strider team. Hell it’s probably a top 4 team for Zero which makes it a top team in the game period. It’s a top point with 2 neutral assists and a dark anchor that gives the middle one of his preferred assists. That’s a very strong and very well rounded team.
I think zero doom strider is an ok team. Nothing real special about it. Doom doesnt get around well enough to make vajra that much of a threat. Clock makes it work somehow because he is a special player with really good neutral. I dont really like doom so i may be biased. But morrigan or vergik is probably the best points for that shell. Or if you are looking for originality try hawkeye or strange.
@Bill @MGS
Doom/Strider is an excellent shell. Top 3 Doom shells easily. Pair it with the strongest point character in the game and you have the strongest Doom/Strider team. Hence why I’ve been learning Zero. Zero/Doom/Strider and Zero/Dante/Strider are EXCEPTIONAL teams. Likely the best overall Strider teams.
As far as Strider with Tatsu. It’s an excellent assist for Strider since he gets multiple mixups off of St.H, slight delay + Akuma, vajra L or M. On block, he gets a 50/50 with his high/low game. It’s really good. Great for extensions as well.
The reason you don’t see many people playing Strider with Tatsu is because not many people are good enough with Strider to play him on point whatsoever. Only like 3 Strider’s in the world are even capable of it. Pair that with the fact that Strider is just SO MUCH better on anchor that it begs the question, why even bother?
What assist are you using with doom? I assume pb. I think zero controls the ground already. What makes doom strider Better than dante strider or vergil strider for that matter. The only thing i can think of is surviving the incoming mix up.he definitely has better options.
One of the best parts about playing Doom is that gain access to 3 amazing assists. Take your pick. Zero can utilize all of them. Is he struggling against Wolvie? Play rocks. Does he want some more air control? Play missiles. Do you want to completely fuck up Jam Session? Play Plasma Beam.
I’d play Plasma Beam primarily. Zero DOES already have strong ground control, but certain characters can match his durability. Pair him with Plasma Beam and those characters are forced to rush you down. Zero/Beam is pretty ridiculous and for certain matchups, might even be more useful than Jam Session.
Fair enough. Thanks for going into detail. I’ve been playing the trio of zero mags strider lately. Its not the strongest team but highly flexible if you can do the mags infinite. Strider zero mags is a pretty fun team. Tac to mags or dhc to ll for kills. Disruptor is great at sniping assist calls and getting Strider in.
Marvelo, does strider have any hard tag combos with Akuma? And when You say Strider has a good extension with Akuma is that mid screen or corner? If corner is it the extension you already put in a video? You are correct in saying there is no reason to pull strider from the anchor position. I do feel there is some value in…akuma beamxx legion xx xfactor. On block you can go into legion immediately on hit delay with a grounded beam so they wake up into a legion Mix up. Akuma backed by vajra has some pretty tricky incoming stuff as well.
Anyone have experience with strider backed by task arrows? Been messing around with strider zero task. Being able to one touch into loops is fun. Task isnt the best anchor but he is my best projectile character. This team is mostly for fun with with a different order i could see it being tournament viable.
