Back to the Trap House

Just wondering what kind of teams do you guys use for Traping people with?

I like Doom/Sent/BH - Doom with BH assist trap and the Sent with BH assist trap etc

I know there are a lot of Trap Teams out there, so just thought I would ask you guys what teams are your favorite.

I like ruby/ken/doom

I think speed up wolvie\doom is retarded when wolvie has bar. Corner chip pressure is 50% life for 1 speed up rotation that cannot be push blocked or guard canceled. Its just flat out free chip and I don’t think there’s another duo in the game that gets 50% chip per super.

I guess Team Sacrilege is a trap-based team but I don’t really think of it that way:sweat:

Chun/Wolvie/Doom :looney:

Megaman/Sent/Cyke, although I inherently get raped by Cable.

I also use Doom/BH/Sent as a main.
Other teams under the trap category that I use include:
-Duc
-Clock
-BH/Cable/Doom
-Doom/BH/Cap
-Doom/Sent/BH

IMHO though, I feel that trapping alone is not going to get you very far in this game…high level-wise. You’re much better off with zoning than trapping (or a mixture ov both).

^^^

I can agree with that. I think of all the team types, trap teams run the highest risk of getting tunnel-vision and limiting their own options by virtue of a set-in-stone approach.

I’m interested in anyone with some ideas for some trap teams built around Cable/Storm/Sent/Magnus. IMO, if you can set something up behind a Storm-centric point plan, you have a great mix of offense/defense options @ any given time. Obviously you’d sacrifice TIGHT traps for looser locks, but you make up for it with the ability to close in a hurry with Storms ground chains and there’s always hail.

I’m sure you could get things going with other gods too.

Or how about a team built around Doom or Sent unblockable

I like some of those teams, I’ll have to practice a bit with them soon :tup:

Definitely true. Even with sent/strider/doom, you can’t just trap all day long. It’s all about applying pressure and look for an opening.

There is someone around here who uses Spiral/Sabertooth/Tron.

Tron/Sabertooth Corner Trap is :looney::looney::looney:

Mag and moreso IM have chances for a bit of trapping with Doom.

spiral/bh and cable/bh

metal gief/doom is badass, too.

Yea I know teams dont just trap, sorry maybe I should have been more specific?

Tron-Y/*aa/**projectile

[if you notice, most aa assist characters have some sort of moderate to high priority forward-moving special move or double-jump that they can exploit effectively w/ proj char to get in or extend strings and even x-up w/ tron layering behind it]

[by the time you finish your tron shenanigans, you’ll likely have maxed your super stock depending on how many times you landed a hit into lunch rush]

some of my faves:

tron-y/akuma-aa/thanos-capture
tron-y/hayato-aa/sabretooth-projectile
tron-y/wolvy-aa(claw)/doom-aa
tron-y/cammy-aa/bbhood-proj

3-way rotation…super simple, sadly effective

*unorthodox aas work such as felicia-a
**unorthodox projs work such as doom-B…

oh yeah

I used to play tron/doom/sent. drill baby drill

:u: good idea. unorthodox doom-b aa. never thought of that in this mold

yez! i lof that team

M.Bison & storm.

I do projectile assist with storm, and teleport behind the opponent. Typhoon hits them from behind and Bison can land one of his beastly air-combos.

:bgrin:

Very few people abuse this though, most just abuse Strider/Spiral/Sent w/ Doom/BH/Sabre.

Team Eder is annoying too.
