Bionic AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM! MvC3 BioCom general discussion

Lol this is bad man im in class thinking of combos

I might go with spencer/iron man/dante

is biocom similar to omega red?

from what I’ve seen the two are only similar in their ability to grab people from across the screen. Their hypers are completely different and while they game in general seems slower im going to peg omega as the faster of the two. If capcom was ever to include omega red im sure the two would play completely different while having the same general tactic in mind.

thanks to zellors for all the spencer info

spencer is going to be the underdog in this game. so damaging and great mobility.

A character that Justin Wong and combofiend (and I) are all seriously considering maining is hardly an underdog!

You guys decided on Spencer teams yet?

I been thinking Spencer (ground grapple) / Haggar (lariat) / Chris (machine gun)

Chris’s assist should be a huge help for Spencer and Haggar to get close. I’m hoping that I can use Spencer’s ground :f:+:l:+:s: grapple to grab on to the opponent while they are blocking the assist. Haggar’s lariat assist should be great for lockdown like Chun’s legs, and should also be great for anti air (assuming it has invincibility)–the anti air aspect will be especially valuable for Chris. Both Spencer’s supers should be able to DHC into Haggar’s body press super without a problem.

Team will lack safe DHCs, but thems the breaks. They should be able to pour on the damage when they get close. Chris looks to be a great battery character, and Spencer looks to have very damaging combos without the use of meter. I may very well end up with a surplus of meter for this team. Perhaps I’ll use it for Haggar grab setups? Dunno. Maybe I’ll throw Phoenix on their for fun :lol:

Spencer and Haggar should be able to grab incoming characters with their AA grabs. Haggar’s looks especially good in this regard since he jumps at the character. Dunno if he can combo after his like Spencer can, though.

Spencer - Ground Grapple
Doom - Rockets or Rocks
Sentinel - either of the drones

heres my write up on the team theory thread

http://shoryuken.com/f340/new-official-team-making-thread-***read-first-post***-264359/#post10198524

Imo Chris guns is really overrated as a cover assist. It’s too quick a burst and moves across the screen too quickly to be all that helpful for a character moving behind or with it. It’s more useful for quickly punishing an opponent from far away or knocking back an opponent who wants to come to you, imo. There are much better cover assists out there.

Thanks for the info. I’ll mess around with it and see what’s up. I’m ridiculously stubborn when it comes to the characters I want to use, so I may end up handicapping myself by not having the best cover assists (like Doom rocks). Meh, I don’t care too much though. :lol:

With that being said, Chris was going to be the 6th character I wanted to learn but I may put him on the back burner and sub him for Hulk Gamma Wave assist (I hope it’s good). That way I’ll only have 5 characters I need to learn: She Hulk, Spencer, Thor, Hulk, Haggar. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hulk seems to be more DHC-friendly than Chris anyway.

My Spencer team mirror’s Bronzefist but replace Chris with Iron Man and Spencer’s assist to Armor Piercer.

After watching the assist videos I’m sadden by how much his grapple hook assists suck. What’s up with ground grapple making people fall flat on their faces? Armor Piercer looks to be decent. If I have Iron Man on point he could possibly make good use of it.

I’m teaming him up with Iron Man and Amaterasu. Did a write-up in the Team thread as well.

so yeah, Sentinels bombing drones looks like it can really help with shutting the opponent down and give Spencer that moment to grapple zip in

I think Dormammu is one of his best teammates. He can lock easily with the dark hole so you can zip in, and the fact you can DHC bionic AAARM into the fireball hyper is fantastic. You could KFC into another fireball, too! Tons of damage and time enough to set up mixups and stuff.

It’s hard for me to decide on what team to use with Spencer or where he could be on my team. There is hardley anybody out there using him, probably because he is not straight forward. All i’ve been seeing is the boring Sentinel, Dante, and Storm matches. Im not too worried about the cheapness of that team but getting bored fighting them so much. I hope people can be willing to take risk, would be nice to see some more advance Spencer vids. I think Ultradavid was playing some Spencer during the CES thingy.

I think Spencer falls under the radar for most players so lack of vids of him in action compared to say, Dante or Amaterasu is unsurprising. I guess it’s a bit too late to worry about vids now, just a few more days and we’ll get to try him out and see what works first hand. And even though he didn’t get much screen-time, I reckon we saw glimpses of what he could be capable of in that Wesker vs Chris gameplay video

Hopefully a few top players will stick with him as well. Justin said he wants to play Spencer so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what he comes up with

hahaha Bionic Aaaaaaarm DHC Stalker Flare (aka Floating Bomb?) sounds nice. I’m guessing it’s because of the all bounce? I wonder if it’s possible with other wall bounce supers like She Hulk’s dropkick super (1st hit), or Phoenix’s flaming bird super.

Wesker/Spencer/Hsien-Ko

I think this will work well because wesker has really powerful ground combos, but once you get in the air he doesnt do as much. So I’ll ground combo with wesker into launcher then tag in spencer (whats the name for that?) to continue the combo. send them down then wire grapple into a couple moves and super to finish it off :slight_smile:

Spencer has 1,050,000 HP, which is above average, but not the highest.

Match video with some Spencer usage, “Bionic Maneuvers” Hyper has nice invincibility or at least to projectiles.

Its just called a “Team Aerial combo” but I like to call it “Exchange” or something like XC for short.

I’ve seen people fail that drop kick Hyper so much I want to cry. The only place I seen it successfuly connected fully is on the trailer.

EDIT: Also wanted to chime in on saying I caught up and played and beat Bionic Comando Rearmed and Bionic Commando (Newest before rearmed 2) I can see where he gets most of his moves. But as much as I like the bionic moves in MvC3, it strikes me as curious why he don’t use any weapons. Would have loved to see some Kiting moves and unleashing hell with a barrage of SMG fire while they are in the air.
