No, LOU do not work for his assists.
I was unaware of MODOKs barrier assist. I have been watching sp00kys stream; I have not seen MODOK and the Haggar play left much to be desired. My plan is to have Haggars lariat protect MODOK when someone gets close, but your post gave me hope that the barrier assist will aid Haggar in setting up his command grabs. Arthur’s lances with sentinels assist (Nerdjosh’s keep away tactic) seemed liked it would make a character like Haggar have to fight a losing battle; there is yet hope.
My other idea was to have MODOK on point in an effort to get the JAMMING BOMB. This will aid in a ruthless rushdown attack with Haggar, as the opponents controls being reversed would lend itself to Haggar getting in easily. I can’t wait to try it!
My intial team might be ammy,MODOK, trish.
Either of trishes assist work but i might go with the aerial most of the time, seems like it’d be awesome for people who drop out of the sky, and could set up a good situation. Coldstar assist is obviously good too, but ammys counter move could also counter teleporters or people who carelessly rush in.
I’m gonna try wolverine, and any of MODOKS assist could theoretically work for him. He could cross the guy up and trap him against the shield, but that might not be realistic as just using the shield to make sure they can’t really counter anything wolvie does that might otherwise be unsafe, but then again his psionic blaster could also do that. Balloon bomb could make it so they could jump or escape for fear of being hit.
Hsienko’s armored pendulum swing could be absolute murder for an assist with MODOK on point. Will take care of anything that comes in by the air while MODOK provides shields, psionic blasts, and anal cubes on the ground. A retaliation by their helper character is pretty much and automatic super. Her gong takes care of projectiles i guess, but that’s not much of a problem anyways
Been toying with the idea of a MODOK team lately. Figured he NEEDS and anti-air assist, so I think Zero should be able to do fine with that. Then, I’m not too certain. Was kind of thinking Magneto since his beam assist is pretty damn fast, and I should be able to get it going with some of MODOK’s other attacks. Then MODOK would use either the shield or balloon bomb as his assist.
Thoughts?
I think you can do better than Zero. I hear that his assists are nothing to write home about.
I was originally thinking Ryu. And potentially iron Man, but I’d really want a capcom character in there.
Hesian-Ko Assist with Super armor will be godly with MODOK on point
What about Morrigan’s AAA?
I’m running MODOK/Morrigan/Ammy. Morrigan’s Shadow Blade is the prime reason this team works lol cuz both chars kinda need a good AA assist but MODOK especially >.>. And Ammy cold star assist. I’m really not sure what to do with MODOK’s assist just yet though =/ Probably just gonna go Shields to help Ammy keepaway when I need it.
I’ll say, Haggar assist is nice for the invulnerability, but it’s tough when he’s on point, since he doesn’t synergize at all w/ MODOK or Doom
Arthur with daggers for ranged pressure and Dante with Jam Session for AA have been working great as MODOK assists so far! If they’re in the air they more than likely will not hit dante on the ground, I believe it covers the whole screen vertically, and can also knock back into beams/cubes/shenanigans. Arthur daggers are really good for causing enough hit/block stun to put shields up or set cubes/bombs and general ranged pressure on the ground, they’re good for hitting Amaterasu too. If you want to get MODOK off point you can switch Dante in and use MODOK’s shield + teleport to sandwich the other player.
I’ve been thinking about Hulk in the place of Haggar, with his armored AA Gamma Charge. Hulk already benefits from Doom’s rock assist and the Tsunami super hits OTG fullscreen, so i’m wondering how well he’d do with MODOK and either the balloon assist for lockdown or Aegis. Both sound like they’d be nifty with Hulk’s armored s.B and s.C, but i have no real idea.
Hell yeah dude, THIS. This is been my strategy and it works pretty damn well. Spam the assist whenever you see them flinch, flying H into stand H into force push etc etc etc
These two characters work great together.
This. Her A assist is a rape machine w/ hyper armor and she’s a better character than Haggar if it comes down to 1v1 situations. The only problem is you have to start w/ her to activate the hyper armor and then tag out to MODOK. Risky, but it’s definitely worth it.
H Gong into super into tag is very safe unless someone is expecting it.
Was fooling around w/ this yesterday, and it’s relatively safe, but when tagging Modok in, his hitbox is large enough that he’ll actually extend slightly past the furthest range of the gong. The fat bastard :lol:
Also, I’m really starting to reconsider Haggar assist – wasn’t a big fan of the character because I was worried about his 1v1 skills, but watching Floe play him during the WNF matches really changed my mind
The nice thing is that it looks like Modok has 2 good choices for invincible assists
Also just found that Joes bomb assist bounces off MODOKs barrier, creating some weird stuff, expecially in the corner.
Hmmm I got a question, would a team with MODOK Hsien-Ko and Hagger be a good team?
I’m digging Spencer and Modok. If you have a barrier up, call in Spencer and use light analyze cube. If Spencer grabbed them, they’ll be pulled into the cube on the ground and then you can combo into the next two afterwards.
Edit: not to mention it pulls them in and leaves them right in analyze cube mine field town which is awesome. I like my Modok up and personal, no full screen jazz.
Edit2: derp, I was practicing against a CPU Modok. You can’t combo all three cubes offa his assist on everyone, but the light version always works and I think you can combo from that.
I live in europe and a store finally got the game, ill be playing from tonight.
I have however read about the characters and I really wanna play MODOK and base my team around him, preferably I would like to have him on point and use one character assist for defense (Haggar) and one character assist for offence (Spencer).
I’ll try to see how the team of MODOK, Haggar and Spencer goes. Hsien Ko seems nice but I am not too keen on starting with her and tagging her out once i have super armor. I want MODOK on point!
