Assistance! M.O.D.O.K Assist and Assist Support Thread

^ If this was Vanilla I’d say Haggar for sure… . Strider Vajra maybe?

There’s always Wesker. :wgrin:

Are you looking for an anchor specifically? It looks like either modok/doom can be your anchor so maybe you’re looking for a point and or 2nd. I would recommend Storm if you’re inclined to rush down. Great DHC compatibility and if you learn her fly combo she could take opponent to the corner much like magneto can. Plus I think her whirlwind is very underated. If you’re playing keep away just fly up and call storm and her projectile goes through everything. Even Modok’s shield. But again, style’s make fights. Plus, I believe storm has been buffed in UMVC3. Her fair/foul wind is also great if you have a keep away style.

It’s kind of hard to hit confirm with storm though, but doom assists should help open people up with her great hi/low game.

Hey guys, I was trying to make a new modok team with him on point and I was thinking of MODOK/strange/sent. Not sure how to play strange at all, but he looks cool and i was fooling around in training and made the following 2 assist combo:

How does strange fare with drones and/or psionic blaster as assists? The team isn’t set in stone except for being some form of modok/sent team for the lockdown and drones combo ender. Any suggestions?

you should check out some mo-tempest videos (the guy that goes to comboratory) he has a modok/strange team and he had some good highlights at SCR. I think he doesn’t really use modok as an assist to help strange more like he lets modok die as a point character but I could be wrong. from what i’ve seen he has a lot of teleport mixups with projectiles. I don’t really know, I’m not a big fan of doom myself.

I’m not sure which one but scroll around and mo-tempest stuff should be in there

I love that combo and I’m totally stealing it once I can do it, but using bolts+drones seems slightly redundant. You may have to shave off some of your combo, but if you use Eye of Agamotto you have a decent warding assist rather than drones+psuedo drones

I’m pretty sure I can do the same combo more or less with the eye. I was just going down the cast seeing which characters I liked let me extend the sent b&b. I can get almost as much damage with just modok and sent but I was looking to change things up. For now I’m running modok/sent/arthur, modok/mags/arthur, or mags/modok/sent or arthur. Thanks for the motempest link.

Been thinking about Arthur too. let me know what kind of combs u come up with daggers

:smiley:

Pretty sexy mate, gave me an idea for my DOK/DOOM/DEADPOOL team, yesssss…i really need a capture device tho : /

You can’t really use daggers as a combo extender due to the speed, where arthur appears and that it is affected by hitstun. I can try to put something together, though. With my modok/sent/arthur team I basically do modok combo with drones extension into plasma storm dhc for like 1,044,000 not sure on the number, but its over 1 mil and almost meter neutral.

Anyone have other characters with high combo synergy? What is everone doing with doom?

Nothing crazy on my end. Trying to get knockdown into missile otg into f+h, don’t know the best way to follow it up without an assist… I’d like to o groundbounce into somet type of bomb idk.

Strider’s vajira is seriously an amazing partner for MODOK. Hard Knockdown, tracks across the screen(Does it better than hidden missles), locks people down in the air, starts combos, Hard fucking Knockdown, and MODOK loves it. Especially when you are at the top of the screen, and you can really piss people off because you can anchor them into ground.

It’s useful when you want to have corner pressure as MODOK because Strider shuts down so many escape options. For example you can airdash upwards to escape a EX barrier reset, but Strider will anchor tridashers down.

My buddy plays MODOK/Dante/Strider. Hella irritating to fight against, it doesn’t allow for the extended combos that most DOKS salivate for but it’s a vicious team.

Hey guys, if you guys had to give a top 3 best asssts for modok, what would you list? Not just for combo extensions but overall value to modok on point. From the looks of it it would be something like this :

1.drones
2. missles
3. Vajra

Anything else worth mentioning or contenders for a top 5-10?

I’d definitely include those 3 for sure. The only other really good assist that I can think of is lariat.

Honorable mention to Nemesis stuff all of them work,
Hulk anti air as well. Also while it’s not good for combo extensions
Tenderizer makes MODOKS air approaches SO easy and sets up
great opportunities for throws.

Tatsu/Jam session

Drones/Missiles takes the cake, everything else is fighting for third place.

what do you guys think about repulsor blast? its great for combos, a workable AA and a pseudo-lockdown with a huge area of effect. I have been thinking about putting some work into IM for a while now but seeing Joker in action at that recent tournament sealed the deal for my modok/im/sent team. im just not sure on having sent second or IM second yet. Using drones as a safe DHC/assist killer is quite valuable but IM/drones seems like it is really strong as well.

I like playing Iron man, but he just seems really… bad.

Same with Iron Fist and She-Hulk.

deadpools quickwork. easy unblockables for rush down modoks. and I anchor IM in my modok/deadpool/im team. i would suggest you anchor sentinel because it’s hard for IM to open people up even in lvl 3 x factor. he can convert from airthrows easier and simple combos do a ton in lvl 3 xfactor but yeah, the bulk of my damage comes from chipping away mid screen with IM
