B*tches Gather 'Round: The MvC3 Iron Man Team Thread

Nope

I have done it in the UK, I got top 8 with Magneto/Iron Man/Dr.Doom.
I’ve also won a few weeklies in Scotland. Keep an out for Hypespotting 2 and you might see me.

Iron man isn’t as bad as everyone on this board comes across as!

So Haggar with Unibeam, at the end of a long combo, you can do Drop Kick + Unibeam, L Hoodlum Launcher and Tiger Knee Giant Haggar Press to get all the hits and damage. It will scale really badly at that point, but off a normal confirm you can do 900k+ off one bar, so its pretty useful when you don’t need or want to spend the 2 or 3 bars for a THC kill.

I think Unibeam is a good assist for Haggar, surprised I haven’t seen too many other people using it. Haggar can convert fullscreen off Unibeam using his ground dash and ground Pipe xx L Hoodlum Launcher confirm, and the scaling doesn’t matter because off a three bar THC you are doing a million and the bnb combo builds nearly two bars.

Ok, so Im considering running Tony anchor in a Nova/Trish/IM team, is that a terrible idea, or do you guys think it could work?

I use Wolvie/Trish/Ironman. Usually my goal is to tag in safely IM with trish round harvest super (blocked or hit),otherwise, IronMan solo is not that effective as an anchor, while trish is very good. You could benefit from nova assist + trish round harvest to set up unblockables with Tony.
I still don’t know if the best assist for IM is trish glyph or fireball assist though. IM needs good assists.

I hear ya, Ive tried running Tony before, never anchor though, and Ive been reminded why now that I tried it, I think the best assist for IM would be dependant on matchup, but I honestly dont see either assist being that good, though maybe peekaboo has the advantage to help on defense, plus give access to round harvest thc, nevertheless it looks like fighting a steep uphill battle. :confused: Thanks for the input though, always appreciate it.

What do you guys use for Iron Man normal jump height j.H xx fly confirms?

Currently running Dante/Dorm/IM. Haven’t quite nailed down the assists yet, because each situation seems like a different assist would be ideal, but thus far it’s been Dante B, Dorm A, IM A

There’s a Japanese player named Epic that uses Wesker / Dorm / Ironman, in whatever order he wants. It seems that dark hole is the best for this team, as well as unibeam.

Good god I want to run Iron Man instead of Mags because I like Iron Man so much, but I dont see how he can do literally ANYTHING better than mags (except assists). Mags is much faster, which means WAY better mixups, does more damage for 1 bar solo (to my knowledge at least), has better utility DHC options, a better neutral, is less assist reliant because he has better movement…etc.

Idk man. If I could get the same results with Iron Man as im getting with Magneto, I would make the switch in a heartbeat…but I just dont feel like its possible =/

Also, if anyone is curious, im running Mags / Morrigan / Dante

I am looking into trying out tony as many people here are. The team I am looking into is Jill/Iron man/ X. Currently I like the strider vajra assist alot for keeping air control, but I assume this is not a very useful assist to Iron man. The team needs to be in this order to abuse the THC gimmicks Photon cannon provides.

So I am stuck on where to go from here. Is vajra of any use to the iron man neutral game? I know missiles and drones work well with iron man, but those assists are too slow and too hard to protect with Jill. The main characters I use are Vergil, Rocket Racoon, Strider, Dr Doom and Trish but I would not mind picking up another new character if the synergy is good enough.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dunno if anyone else runs Haggar with Iron Man but Haggar gets a guard break with Iron Man Proton Cannon THC in the corner as an incoming setup. I was aware he could do this, but wasn’t aware at just how good it was. I believe you can tech out of it but the window to do so is pretty small and if your opponent doesn’t know its coming its gonna work 100% of the time and lead to a kill. It works regardless of if they are pushblocking or not, and if they choose to eat Proton Cannon just convert normally into a combo using L Hoodlum Launcher. You’re spending two (sometimes three) bars to do it but an optimized Haggar combo easily gets a million especially with the H Hoodlum Launcher’s 300k starter off one bar which you will easily build during the combo.

you can try Jill IronMan Doom or Jill IronMan Sent they both work pretty well

Was just considering running hagger with IM, anything to add for it? (Trying Spidy/IM/Haggar)

I run Haggar/Deadpool/Iron Man and if you’re going to run Haggar with Unibeam I think Deadpool with Quick Work second is the optimal team composition. I’ve got a ton of tech for this team I can share with you if you’d like.

I’m always fan of people sharing techs with me :smiley:

I actually more like running spidy/ironman/lariat but I’m quite fond of agile teams that can run in any order.

It would be a good idea to update in some thread known synergies between ironman and other characters.

Whats the consensus on iron man second with ammy last? Could cold star be of much use to iron man or is it’s range too short?

Coldstar/Sentinel Force is amazing for Iron Man. Coldstar provides the much needed lock-down that Tony needs to get in. However it’s only really effective midscreen or up close. Missles/Sentinel Force/Coldstar are the best assists in the game for Iron Man.

Unibeam is the best assist in the game for Iron Man to get in.
