Becoming the Strongest Woman in the World (MVC3 Ed) - The Chun-Li Matchup/Team Thread

Do we have the same team or something?

Yup, well at least the X-23/Chun part, been wanting to use those two on a team for the longest time. One of my friends has been vouching for Hawkeye though, so I might give him a try.

Getting the feel of X-23 + Chun… Now, if I could make Zero/Chun somehow work I’d be all set. I would have made a team with those three, but no way would that happen without shooting the team chem to all hell (or dying in seconds for that matter). :lol:

I haven’t put any work into Hawkeye yet. I think I’d rather play Dormammu, but I’m not sure I’d get the same utility out of his assists. X-23 has trouble getting in without a good projectile for cover, I hear.

I used X-23/Chun/Dorm as well. Yeah, beams are better coverage. Dark Hole is okay, but it doesn’t lasting power or reach of a beam/arrows, and neither of the ladies have a particularly good use for Purification afaik. I’m told that Dorm might be better 2nd (Ult buffs + DHC’s in/out) than 3rd/anchor as well.

It’s just as well. I want to put together a team around Phoenix Wright, too, and Dorm is probably the best character to put on point to DHC into/cover Wright so he can gather evidence. I’m brand new to the game, though, so I haven’t even gotten out of training mode with my first team yet.

After watching and talking to Demon Hyo all weekend, I really think Magneto is a really stellar choice for Chun-Li and vice versa.

Magneto gets some of the most bonkers setups I’ve EVER seen with Chun-Li assist. Once you have them in the corner, there’s really no way to get out of the corner with the correct reads.

Cornered opponent who is standing? Call Chun-Li assist. Block until you’re sure they’re in block stun. Mix them up.

Opponent coming in? Repulsion twice, call Chun-Li assist. Cancels all teleports and forward air dashes…forces you to land in the Chun-Li assist. Mix them up.

Opponent hard knocked down and wants to tech roll out of the corner? Repulsion twice…forces them back into the corner. As they wake up, call Chun-Li assist. Mix them up.

Opponent has a vertical air dash or fly? Repulsion/gravitation with the correct read, and they’re, you guessed it, back in the corner. Call Chun assist, they’ll fall into it. Mix them up.

This same setup works with drones as well and it’s oh so freaking disgusting.

As for the Chun aspect, Disruptor is your usual beam assist to get in. Hoyoukusen into Shockwave works and corner carries. Tempest goes into Kikosho. Kikosho goes into Tempest and Shockwave. Gravity Cheese is a stellar DHC combo ender anywhere. Hyper Grav can be used to keep combos going after stomp on a hard knock down. The whole thing is just so sexy… now if only I could convince Hyo to actually learn to do more efficient combos with Chun :frowning:

Doesn’t he spam LL like Unknown does? It’s sad that the only Chuns placing at majors are…well, you know.

I was wondering what people thought of Chun’s Synergy with Strider?

I’m considering trying out a Viper/Chun/Strider team.

I’ve been running a couple of Chun-Li teams before but as of now I used Chun-Li , Frank and Trish. I’ve looking into using her on my other team of She-Hulk, Hsien-Ko, and Viper. One big problem I keep running into is Hulk. His super armor completely destroys Chun-Li (at least for me). Sadly I can’t play “top tier” characters like Doom, Wesker, Vergil, or Spencer and i personally don’t want to try lol. If i could get some feedback on my Chun teams i would gladly appreciate it.

If you are losing to Hulk, you are probably not respecting his armor or you’re playing online.
All you need to do is wait and punish. He’ll open his guard sometime.

true. my friend plays Hulk, X-23, Repulsor Blast err i mean Iron man. really hard for me to get in against that assist

Not respecting the :h: Given the above teams, and you might not have the zoning assists of your own to make your life easier against him

team I’ll Take You On.

note: see a trend?

So I am thinking about using Chun along with IF and a yet to be decided character. Do these two characters work together alright?

Right now I’m leveling up a team in training mode. Chun-li/Felicia/Stryder. You can Combo off Vajra with Chun-li but her combos are a bit hard. You could replace felicia but her low hitting assist is nice for creating unblockable setups and she also combos off Vajra. Doom might be a better pick but I prefer to have at least 2 females in my team. I might consider chris because he isn’t played as much and he combos well and has a projectile assist to help me get in. Another choice was Viper and although I have all her combos down I do not have Seismo spam down so I might switch it up later.

Ive just been playing around with a lot of different characters looking for a new point character to learn and I’ve been messing around with Chun.

How do you all feel about Chun-y/Dr. Strange-b/Hawkeye-a ?

How do you all feel about Viper (Burn Kick) / Chun Li (Legs) / Strider (Vajra)?

Viper is great at opening people up and she has Chun Legs to use as a lockdown assist to charge her unblockable. A successful TAC can also lead to the Chun infinite for meter for Viper and Strider or to a timeout depending on the situation. Vajra assists both characters in keeping the opponents lower to the ground where they can be hit and therefore allowing Chun Li and Viper to terrorize them as needed. You also have anchor Strider which is one of the most one player things in this game.

IMO, Chun needs some sort of projectile assist. Period. Preferably one that keeps the opponent grounded. The damage Kikoanken adds to a combo is too good to be ignored, and the best way to land it is with an assist to back you up that keeps the opponent grounded lol. Vajra does indeed equal an easy pick-me-up OTG combo if it hits, but the resulting combo will already be scaled a moderate amount due to that.

Another good reason to back you up with a good projectile assist is to give a safe Chun a safe DHC. Most characters with a good projectile assist usually come with a safe DHC, oddly enough (Ryu, Doctor Doom,Magneto to an extent comes in mind). Chun’s hypers aren’t about being safe; they’re more about their utility: guaranteed escape with Hoyokusen, and easy assist punishes on characters like Strider if your opponent gets careless calling them.

But all in all, yeah: JUST GIVE HER SOMETHING THAT KEEPS THE OPPONENT PINNED AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

I’d say she doesnt NEED a projectile assist.
I run a Chun-Li/ Ryu/ Akuma team, and I use Akuma’s tatsu assist a lot more than Ryu’s hadouken and thats because I approach by using triple jumps and air Tenshoukyaku.

Akuma works like a projectile himself and also helps on lockdowns, so you start your high/ low mixups.
Not to mention I got a combo that deals 1.225 damage, starting with 0 meter, anywhere on the screen by raw tagging after a Kikoanken. Akuma does all the work, so I see a lot of singergy between both.

I am not really sure what other kind of assist I’d pick to help her out.
Probably the Hidden Missiles (and who doesn’t?).

I’m caving in and changing up my Chun/Storm/Akuma team. Even though it is basically quite similar to Brian’s team… I feel that his success with that team is more of a testament to his skill than a really cheap team setup. To be perfectly honest in my non-top player level opinion… while Chun/Akuma work well together… Ryu seems to be to area of the team that could stand to be improved upon. Not trying to convince him to change teams or anything, it’s just my opinion on how his team works. Anyways, I’m thinking of trying out Chun/Doom (beam)/Ammy.

It’s got Chun Kikoanken crumples into a hard tag into Doom for TOD combos… Doom’s plasma beam assist is a good neutral game tool for her to get in… Ammy’s assist will be good for corner pressure and mixups… and we’ve seen the success Doom/Ammy have had on their own if Chun should die. I’m going to miss my invincible Chun super DHC into Hailstorm though. That was such a fun gimmick.
