Avengers... Assemble! Assist/Team thread!

wesker would like to have a word.
who was your main before picking this team? use him/her.

wesker is fine I suppose. I got bored with him and tried to move on, but he’s so good lol.

my main was X23, and I don’t think her and Cap have much synergy :confused:

IMO Cap needs 1 projectile assist for going in and cartwheel mixups, and that’s enough.
You want to be able to rely on your x-23 to clean them out on lvl 3 xfactor if cap/task can’t.
also there’s gotta be ways to setup incoming character unblockables with x-23, and it OTGs.

I’ve been experiment with teams for Cap, or rather, the second slot for my Cap (Shield Slash)/*/Akuma (Tatsu) team. I’ve been basically trying out Task/Hawk/Trish for that second slot since H.Arrows/Greyhound/Low Voltage are all similar assists from what I’ve notice. I’ve narrowed it down to Trish since she’s the most mobile, and, she just feel way more comfortable for me.

Cap really does benefit with a actual projectile assist, but, only one issue…Low Voltage is clearly the slowest out of the three, so, I’m wondering if I should go with that or maybe Peekaboo instead and leave the getting in/mix-up job to tatsu for the main haul.

i run trish, cap, wesk.
i think low voltage is the best assist for cap. it’s kinda difficult to convert a peekaboo assist with cap from my experience. You can work with the delay of the low voltage as it gives you time to cartwheel to the other side. also if you do need to do a triple hyper combo, max voltage is better than the round harvest

I’ve been running Haggar (Steel Pipe)/Cap (Shield Slash)/Chris (Machine Gun) and was wondering if Shield Slash is the best assist to use for this team.

I know this was mentioned somewhere in the cap forums but i didn’t really explore it till right now, has to deal with shield slash assist.

If you throw the shield slash assist in the corner, the return hit will push your opponent out so that if you are jumping towards the corner, you land in the corner (crossup).

EG off of snapback: (spencer on point)

call shield slash assist, jump s+atk, as you fall do j H or j S. normally your opponent blocks this by holding back, but because the shield slash pushes them out of the corner, your attack hits crossup.

Pretty tricky especially with characters that have tricky air movement (magneto/doom/spencer etc)

Right now my team is Cap/Task/Wesker Im just wondering if Weskers other assists are useful for Cap cause i dont really need the gun shot.

Ghost butterfly cuz its a wall bounce and easy for corner relaunches

Thats probably a good idea. Will try it out in training mode.

My current team is Cap - Shield Slash / Frank - Cart / Vergil - Rapid Slash. Works very well together with great DHC synergy. I just need to improve my Vergil since this is the first time in any fighting game I am trying to master a character with a teleport.

I’ve never been able to get an xfactor combo off of crossover counter stars and stripes. Pointers?

After messing around in the lab a bit, I’ve made a team around Felicia, Cap, Arthur. Felicia is a nightmare when she gets in, and both Arthur assists and Caps shield slash allow her to do that and start all sorts of mixups and resets. Cap is the muscle in the group and can use Felicia’s assist in the corner for a ground bounce, while Arthurs assist (either) allows for nasty cartwheel shennanigans and a way in. Arthur with level 3 xfactor is pretty scary esp with Three bars. He has his bad matchups but if I spot them I will snap them in with felicia hopefully. Thoughts?

I figured I’d throw in my 2 cents on Cap / Spencer, since I use this duo and find it more effective than almost any other combination of 2 characters, at least for my play style anyway.

I feel Cap does just fine by himself as long as he’s mid screen, but when you eventually get to the corner, Spencer’s grapple assist can be used to extend comboes by calling him in before Shield Slash OTG, caveat being you have to crouch for the shield to hit again on the way back. Hyper Charging Star also DHCs well into Spencer’s grapple super, which you can then continue to combo off of, hit stun permitting. It’s also been said already but shield slash assist is great for adding extra pressure for spencer.

As far as an anchor for this duo, I’m currently using Hawkeye (yes, Cap Spencer Hawkeye, I’m aware of how Combofiend-ish that is), but I think any other anchor with a good assist would be just as effective (Sent drones, Doom missiles, etc). I personally feel XF3 Hawkeye is flat out cheap, and his greyhound assist is great for cartwheel mixups and extra pressure.

Tl;dr: Cap Spencer Hawkeye is a beastly team

I was actually contemplating trying this combination, I just cant get myself to start playing Spencer because to me he’s so damn annoying ><. Sounds very beastly tho I must say

Someones mentioned this already, but Arthur and Cap really do have a nice synergy. You can throw out dagger assist and start the cartwheel bullshit. It’s more or less a safe way to consistently get in.

My only problem is my second character. I’m running Cap/Hulk/Arthur, and really, hulk just kinda sits there.

Does anybody think firebrand would be viable?
And I’ve also heard ironman and cap make a good team.

Hey guys, I’m using Cap on Point with X-23 Crescent Scythe Assist.
I noticed you can do LMHS,Hyper Jump L.Slash; then land, call X-23, jump back up, j.H and Crescent Scythe will hit.
Since I’m a pretty new player I can’t combo off of that yet, maybe someone can test if it is worth doing or if the assist scaling will make the combo just do less damage than the regular BnB?
Would be pretty interesting to know!

I’ve recently started to try out cap/spencer/stark and I really like the combination. The only thing that I’m not sure of is stark as anchor though because it seems like he needs an assist to help him out. However if I can body their team before that I have no problems,haha. Cap and Spencer hits like grown men.

I’ve been experimenting with cap/rocket/task and it’s a pretty sick combination since task arrows are slow enough to force a reaction so you can set up cartwheel madness but my task is so fraudulent and my rocket doesn’t do enough. That being said, pendulum is a great gtfo me assist if it doesn’t get blown up. Thor is good too with a great alpha counter but it’s hard to play the Avenger team, at least for me.

Do you guys have any other suggestions for cap/stark? I’m still looking for a good anchor for this combination since I think stark does way better with assists

Sent with drones or Doom with missiles. They both go very well with the two of them for extending combos, pressure, or mixups.

Kei

I’m running Cap (shield slash)/ Doom (missiles) for that (near) million damage combo.

Who do I run for a third character, with what assist and in what position (second or anchor)?
