You dropped everyone’s favorite mutt?
I’ve always liked Taskmaster with Dante’s Jam Session. It zones out a lot of characters completely. Pushing people back with that assist, plus arrows everywhere, is just an absolute wall.
Also, what is Team Godlike? I assume Phoenix is somewhere in there.
Also, uh, so this post stays video-related, there’s more weekly MarlinPie goodness up on Jaxelrod’s YouTube page.
Godlike is Viper/Dante/Phoenix. It’s very similar to MvC2 MSS in that it’s 3 godlike characters when they’re in, though unlike MSS they all have really awesome assists for each other and it’s not 90% disruptor/Rocket Punch. Viper and Dante can choose to build a lot of meter with their combos and kill characters at the same time. People who get a hit need to make the decision to not kill Viper/Dante or miss a chance to kill Phoenix, every option there is incredibly bad for them. Making people blow X-factor or not kill characters is ridiculously awesome.
The downfall of this team is that the player needs to have really good execution and really good meter management as the balance of using little enough yet enough gauge is hard.
Im pretty sure that teams HP combined isn’t even 1/5th of Thor’s life lol
But yea that is an extremely execution heavy team, no so much in terms of combos, but if you screw up once then you might be done. But at the very beginning of the match you should be in control.
There’s no situation (Other than getting hit) the team’s bad at.

Hype Viper combo to kill Task at part 2 7:27 it is immediately followed by epic fail but that just happens when you’re learning a new team and not thinking right with viper. X_X
Once I get my Dante to an acceptable level I can work on the whole team and getting everything clean.
good stuff @chrisis actually joning the dante army. imo viper/dante is just a pretty damn sick combination. i enter the european evo qualifier this weekend, maybe i get some matches on the stream (maybe also some ssf4 viper matches, if anybody is interested xD though, i didn’t play the game for 2 months now…). i’m still not sure if i’ll play my viper/dante/ammy team which i’ve played for most of the time now, or if my brand new viper/dante/mags team will make it’s debut.
Dante/Viper/Ammy IMO is one of those teams that is in need of an actual name. Kind of like how Wolvie/Akuma/Sentinel is “Americas favorite team”. It just seems like a Viper team you will see a lot and instead of having to list the characters all the time some really cheesy name would make it easier.
So any thoughts?
“Dante’s Got Bitches”? o.o
I highly advocate the Viper/Dante/Mags team simply for the full screen horizontal assist, I feel that it accomplishes more. If I didn’t love Taskmaster assist so much I’d use that, but I feel Task’s assist is so good for Viper and Dante.
Team Scooby Doo
yeah, the horizontal assist is pretty much the reason for the possible switch. witch the dante/ammy team i used weasel shot instead of jam session, and weasel shot is actually a damn good assist. but it just doesn’t clear the screen for me if someone tries to keep me out. disruptor is pretty sick as it’s out ridiculously fast, it’s nearly as fast as akuma tatsu, and i can also use it for dante to approach safely from full screen with a teleport. it compliments both dantes approach and his keepaway so much. still in the danger room with mags, but it works good so far. i got the rom almost down and can do 3-5 grav loops in the corner consistently, so now i just have to get some practice with mags in actual matches. ^^
@DrewGrimey:
Is Dante Fred or Shaggy and is Viper Velma or Daphe? I think she’s a fusion of the 2, glasses FTW? o.o
Lol that’s actually the name I give my Wesker/Ammy/Phoenix team… i figure it works for that team as well, I guess it depends on which colors you pick
I actually am quite sad to show these videos, but here is some of my play. You could tell by a few awkward air whiffed hits and other things (horrible mag dashes) I wasn’t on top of my execution in these matches. Kudos to Shermayne for staying on me and keeping my options minimized. I needed a GTFO me assist for him or something and Akuma Tatsu is the bane of my existance. Could have used Ex. Seismo but I’m still afraid to use it because 1/10 times I never get it to hit so i just never use it.

Online play can be harsh for anything Viper does. I wanted to do more damaging combos but after one dropped one I could tell it was gonna be a bit insane trying to get anything down so I kept it simple. The online wasn’t laggy but there were times I’d get an opportunity for a combo that I could notice the button lag which leads to less than accurate combos but really it got to my head more than anything. Tried a few resets and failed miserably as well. At one point I realized from the tatsu assist and such that I was going to have to go for throws since Sherm was committed to the attack almost every time he jumped. I see some of my mistakes, but I won’t say. I’d like to see what your guys’ input is. GG’s Shermayne if you see this.
thanks for the vids - i’ll have to experiment with TK xx Burst Time after a combo, if i have to dash more than once to Burst Time after an air series it usually doesn’t come out.
anyone else having luck waiting 'till you almost hit the ground to DHC from Emergency Combo? i catch so many cr.L’s into Proton Cannon by waiting a little longer.
its a little risky and almost not necessary. I think I might have used emergency combo on the ground with combos a few times by accident because i’ve been testing a lot of stuff in practice on it. Situational, need to get out of that habit of using it every time. But you don’t need it for any of her longer combos. Most will gain you corner access so you dont have to worry but if you don’t I juse use the TK xx Burst time series if im not sure where the spacing is. Comboing into Emergency combination is almost too risky and not enough reward I think you get MAYBE 3k - 5k more damage.
dunno why i wrote Emergency Combo, i meant both lvl1’s since you end up flipping around in the air with both of them - i do it if viper’s supers are whiffed/blocked/they drop out because usually people try to start a combo instead of throwing out something safer since they think DHC time is usually over.
ggs skill. I’ve never really played a viper that knows anything so I just decided to maul you lol
Winners Finals of Starbase, we were both screwing up pretty badly, if you want more footage I can link to the JustinTV log with the streamed section of the tourney, but there’s a lot of non Viper play in there as well.
good shit chrisis. also shoutouts to 2:0ing f-champs phoenix team into losers. ^^
That was lucky/clutch Task super in the first round’s fault after failing miserably. XD
