3 Tickets to Eurasia: Strider Team Building Thread

I’m having trouble finding my Team bnb for strider… I use Strider Hawkeye Dormammu and still havent found anything… any suggestions guys?

Guaranteed hate mail is a phoenix team. although she takes a little more work in ultimate to utilize effectively.

Id say a Hawkeye/Strider/Doom team would make the salt levels grow.

Running hawk on point = some of the best keepaway in the game paired with either of Dooms assist, plus Striders Vaijira assist for those who want to get in on you by super jumping.

I’m not really into Jean, but Hawkeye sounds pretty good and incredibly infuriating.

I just spent a couple of hours getting Video footage for my new Strider team…

Zero, Vergil, Strider

I have Bnb’s, set ups, what they are doing, cheap tricks, what strider can do in X-factor (so damn cheap) and then I have a couple online matches just showing some of that theory take place. Because of it being online I dropped a couple of combos where I could of swagged but the theory is legit. And for those worried about making Vergil safe I have an in game example of me bating with an unsafe blockstring then punishing with trick M.

Basically on this team I run Zero battery, I play patient, call assists wisely and lame it out a bit with buster shots from up high if the match up calls for it. My Zero bnb is a simple charge combo that does 515k meterless and builds about 1.2-1.5 meters using Vergil assist.

Vergil uses meter to make his offense safe, to get more mobility in devil trigger and set up sword special shennanigans. In most cases striders assist will do and Zero’s projectile assist is nice for setting up teleport cross ups.

I like to have some meter leftover for strider if things go south. If I do, Strider has orbs or a chance to X-factor cancel blockstun into ragnorok if it’s the last character.

I’ll post the video when I get it up, on here and on the video forums, be up in 30.

Can’t wait to see it brah.

Here we go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7FqbzApTT0

I figured that Virgil would be a good teammate for Strider. I’m glad for that.

Lmao check this out, I got 5 rage quits today, record is 34-9 and one of those rage quits was a Pheonix player lmao.

I used strider orbs to chip out the 2nd character and i forced him to burn his X-factor early. So when he finally got to Dark Pheonix, i literally just maximum Vergil’d him till he died from a random super and rage quit. Felt so good. So far I’m able to do my Vergil Bnb consistently online since i made that video. Strider Bnb I haven’t really been in a situation where I got a proper hit confirm for it or needed it since he always had X-factor.

I only use X-factor level 1 if it will insure the victor. I only use X-factor 2 if it will insure a victory as well, if i burn X-factor and the match lasts longer then my X-factor I did something wrong when I have dark Strider waiting.

Edit; Zero can lightening loop with Vergils rapid slash assist. This team grows stronger.

Best team so far I have with strider is Wesker/Dante/Strider. Some other good ones are Wesker/Hawkeye/Strider as well as Wesker/Task/Strider. In order for Magneto to work with a Strider team is for him to have drones, because Magneto and strider assist is good technology. However, Strider with Magneto assist isn’t that good.

Im trying to make Dante/Frank West/Strider work. Shopping cart and Vajra assist are so goooooodddd!!! DARK STRIDER AS AND ENDER

Yea strider def works in all 3 slots. As point with access to two assists he really can be a pain, as battery with meter he can be annoying, and as anchor with X-factor he can be cheap and even w/o X-factor with meter he can be as well but as anchor without either you are forced to outplay your enemy which is ok but not like some other characters.

After 1 day with the game, I’ve started using Vergil (Rapid Slash)/Strider (Vajra)/Hawkeye(Greyhound). The team is very versatile for all 3 characters in any position. Even using a very basic vergil does lot’s of damage with mix-up potentials from assists. I use Vergil more for battery which means I don’t really use his lvl 4 or spiral sword addons.

I was concerned with Strider’s low health and low damage output without Ragnarok or Ouroboros but he still has lots of mix-up potential with hawky. Greyhound Assist works for the same reason as vergil. Rapid Slash seemed like a good assist as well.

Hawk-eye works well in keepaway, Vajra limits opponents movement and Rapid Slash pushes opponent back.

I’m doing ok online but the overall health for all 3 characters is really low so I’m finding myself in a glass cannon situation :slight_smile:

I think the best team mates revolves around Vergil, Wesker, Dante and Doom.

Wesker actually makes the world simpler for us strider players because doing that double input with his orb can cause errors here or there. Wesker just decreases the error ratio of that Mix up.

Vergil’s running slash doesn’t need any explanation because it is simply Strider’s best assist IMO. I knew they would be BFF’s! There is so many things you can do with that assist.

Dante provides an all around assist that can also otg and cause unblockable set ups with that wall climb. There is a good chance for an easy mix up with calling dante, then wallclimbing to the other side of the incoming or post-air born character.

Doom’s plasma beam is an obvious too (however hawkeye’s assist is a wee bit better) and Doom is one of the strongest characters in the game so it’s an all around good choice.

I think Strider/Wesker/Doom is probably the most dangerous due to the fact that strider has two characters who are with in the top 5, and both assists work entirely great. Both characters can build meter too!

Meter isn’t really a problem for me, because i’ve learned the high significance of using Ariel exchange with Strider. You only need to ariel exchange once and you’ve gained a bar already. So the meter building with this team is above average.

I would love to use Strider/Dante but my dante sucks and is too noob at the moment.

Strider/CViper/Dante is another cool team, but freakin hard to use due to the fact that these characters need allot of work to be Tier S. So mad props to the guy who is planning to main this.

So, from what I’ve read it doesn’t seem very feasible, but it’s worth asking. I was messing around with Trish/Strider/Vergil, and I really enjoyed having Strider on the team, but I’m set on Vergil being a meterhog anchor. Is playing Strider as a battery/assist character viable at intermediate levels of play, or should I just look for a replacement?

yeah, if you play wesker right, you’re going to get hate mail. you gotta be on that viscant shit though, and not on that ‘herp derp’ shit, naw mean dawg?

Neh… make strider the anchor. Orbs is such a cheap super that you really need it. Vergil becomes anchor if Strider dies.

Haha, you sound like your main goal is to troll your opponents inner rage.

That sounds about right. I’m one of the older members of the FGC, so I don’t get anywhere near as salty as I used to. I’ve already come to accept that I won’t be good simply because I can’t put in the time required to level up my skills. However, I still have enough juice left to be incredibly annoying. I love getting hate mail from the younger guys. It brings a smile to my face.

Now, gotta get back to practicing that cheap x-factor orbs stuff. If I were 10 years younger, I would get so salty if I kept losing to that.

I agree, I don’t get angry but it’s laughable how mad other people get. They go so far as to try to report me to PSN, haha! I used to play hsien ko super armor assist and noobs would go into a fit because they thought it was so cheap. Right now I’m using Hsien KO, haggar for assist and strider. Probably a nonsensical team outside of trolling.

I just, really don’t like the orbs. My level of play isn’t very high either, so the damage I can manage off of orbs is not as ridiculous as most here. I’m set in having Vergil as anchor for his ridiculous XF3DT Damage output.
