3 Tickets to Eurasia: Strider Team Building Thread

I see people have zero on their teams and let me offer my experience with that version. I was running zero\strider combination and one of the things I noticed the most was how bad I would get beat during projectile exchanges. Hadenki has very little durability and strider’s projectiles aren’t that much better. Even if you had clone mode and coupled it with animals, you are still going to lose zoning wars. Strider doesn’t liked to be checked like that for free because he’s limited to dodging. Another crucial part to zero\strider is that zero can only scoop off the ground once level 3 buster is charged after strider hits and that can be good and bad depending on whether or not you have a charge stored up. If you don’t have a charge the best things you have are a quick super depending on your range or simple dive kick and that can be pretty shitty since doom gets a combo for free as do some of the other characters. I had mentioned in another strider thread that his assist is only top tier when paired properly, it is not a generic top tier assist like a doom beam or sent drones would be.

I think its abundantly clear that if you have strider on your team, both character would like to combo off it for easily like doom could. Otherwise, its more like an anti jumping tool that hits once for no life rather than an anti jumping tool that can lead to big ass damage.

I’ve been running Spidey / Deadpool / S. Hiryu, I haven’t tested this yet but does anyone know if either Web Swing or Quick Work assist will connect off of a slide OTG?

lol isn’t that more of a reason not to run him on point? Avoid running the character your least confident with on point. Btw, you dropped storm? That would suck to hear since she was like your favorite character and all.

Strider (vajra) /Strange (bolts) / dorm (purification) or Vergil (rapid slash)

Still kind of soul searching for that anchor but, as of now, I love having strider on point with strange’s bolts backing him up.

I usually use Wesker when I use Strider because Wesker goes fine with just about anyone. But I’m looking to develop a Strider Zero team so I need one more person. I guess I could go with Wesker or Dante, but that would be too obvious and I want to mix it up a bit.

So I’m thinking potentially Cap or Spencer.

well if he means like online or at weekly casuals or whatever, then there’s no reason not to force himself to practice the character outside of sitting on xf3 and orbs

right now I’m trying to make Magneto/Felicia/Strider work

Magnus was my main back in vanilla and Felicia was my favorite B teamer, so when I heard Mags’ combo ability was cut short and Felicia was getting on otg assist I jumped at the chance to use them together. Now that people are starting to realize that Magneto’s combos haven’t been nerfed all that bad I’m not sure, maybe I could put Felicia on Buckler or just use her on point? I really don’t wanna drop Magneto :confused: unfortunately Vajra really bones his left/right crossup game it seems

Been looking for a team focused around Strider on point, need help picking my battery and anchor
I like using Arthur,Rocket Raccoon, Captain America, Wolverine,Shuma Gorath and Spidey and possibly ammy.

You need a good horizontal assist. Ironman, Taskmaster, Doom.

wouldn’t hakeye triple shot suffice for this situation also? i know i use it because it doesn’t scale hard as iron man or doom beams.

yeah probably, haven’t really had much time to experiment or even play lately. :confused:

ive been trying to find a strider team and im having a bit of difficulty working it out, im think Strider, Hawkeye, Doom, but i cant decide what order to put them in because they all seem like great anchors and also all benefit from assists, i also cant think of which assist to use with Doom.

plasma beam is great for playing lame and getting aggressive. missiles aren’t really that good unless your team legitimately just wants to sit full screen and sit on projectiles all day. molecular shield has some pros and cons, but a lot of people hate on it because it’s not 30% chip and a full second+ of blockstun and full screen control like it was in MVC2.

i like Hidden Missiles for combo extension plus it helps against keep away since everybody on my team can zone as well, i like plasma beam to keep the ground locked down and keep that chip going, the only thing i dont like about is using it with striders teleports, but thats probobly just because im not used to it and keep messing up even when i get the hit with the beam, and ive not really tried rocks out so im not sure what i can do with it.

im also thinking of playing Doom first mainly because he hits hardest and doesnt really need meter, then put strider second to still have the teleport mixups with Hawkeye, and Hawkeye anchor for that xfactor chip.

I’ve been using Skrull, Strider, Sent, I like Sent’s dron assit with strider, it allows me tog et in and do some damage, however i’ve been thinking of taking sent off the team and putting doom in. I like his options.

Anythings on strider with dooms hiddin missiles or dooms projectile assist would be nice

i prefer beam to missiles because of how fast it is, it allows for quick teleport/wall cling mixups, and is fairly easy to combo extend with it. stuff like tiger> call doom> teleport/wallcling is pretty safe and easy to combo off of.
combo extensions in the middle like l >m >h >f+h >s >j.m >j.h >l excalibur >land >call doom >j.m >j.h >land >doom hits >lvl3 or s >j.m >dj >j.h >j.s is what im using until i get my formation b combos down. you can also tweak the combo to be able to load formation b during the combo while PB hits.

I like your style. Do you think missiles is possibly better because of mix up options you gain from people being locked down?

Also what about sents assit? I dont play virgle or dante and don’t plan to so thats why i havent even tried them out.

can nova/doom/strider be a good team?

Magneto is relacing Storm ATM, but when I get my hands on that Mohawk Alt costume I may have to switch back. :slight_smile:
TBH, I with Mags now for the reset potential, and :h: and :l: haha.

Side note:
Where you at Jak I dodnt see you on my Friend list anymore

To Shiro:
Super Skrull, secret S teir, :slight_smile:

Who would be a good anchor for Wesker/Strider/?

Already tried Doom but I don’t like him in this game tbh, I wish I did so I could go with Strider Doom and Sentinel, but I think he’s really boring to play with.

Good to know would hate to lose another soldier in the storm army, as for where Im at, school brah. I leave my xbox at home when I go to university so Im never on september-december and january-april. But I should be back on in a few days since Im done my exams this week.

Well you could try magneto/hawkeye/akuma/any character with a strong horizontal assist, or maybe amaterasu, she works really well with strider, but Im not entirely sure if wesker can take good advantage of her assist.

Oh and joe, you dropping iron fist? Or is this just ur backup team for when shit gets real? It’ll be real disappointing if you drop him after all that hype.
