Strider will die from a gentle breeze on a sunny day, the dude’s brittle.
Watching the stream though, people were having a tough time landing a comboable clean hit on strider, teleports, metalic animals reporting to the right side of the stage and assists on the screen at all times will make this dude with a “sword” disjointed hitbox very difficult to touch. Zero/dante but much faster with projectiles you can teleport in front of and a lvl 3 don’t touch me Hyper. We’ll be fine, as long as we don’t get outplayed (which will get any character bodied besides vanilla wesker).
just out of curiosity do you have any idea what Stider says in his MvC2 taunt? that shit always bothered me that i couldnt understand him:sad:
Ryu seems like a good partner for strider. Ryu’s tatsu assist can set things up for strider, and you can also powerup ryu to increase the power of your assists and dhc.
Don’t forget “OMG HEALING FIELD IS SO BROKEN!!!” and maybe like 1 person has ever used it.
Anyway, Here is a list of teams/characters that i will try out with Strider
Strider/Ryu/Sentinel
Strider/GhostRider/Dormammu
Strider/Zero/Task
Strider/Dante/Task
Strider/Spiderman/Deadpool
X-23/Strider/Vergil
Strider/Vergil/Strange
Strider/Dante/Haggar could be cool. I know Haggar’s assist doesn’t cause hard knockdown anymore, but i think there are some things that can work with it.
i think its because ppl aren’t used to the matchup yet for one. ppl were also not necessarily trying to rush in with strider but rather play keepaway because nobody knows what works as far as combos yet.
i don’t think you can judge how hard he is to hit with what you see on the stream for those two reasons alone.
his level 3 super isn’t a don’t touch me super because it doesn’t protect you from getting hit.
in other words, we don’t know one way or the other yet.
I’m thinkin
Ammy/Strider/Doom
Storm/Strider/Task
Strider/Dante/Vergil
Shulk/Strider/Zero
Wesker/Strider/Ammy
Strider/Ammy/Ryu
Zero/Strider/Wesker.
Thoughts?
I was just trying to give some hope to those discouraged by his health, I know nothing is sure yet, and as far as ouroboros being a get off me that’s if you can call it during a safe time and avoid the initial punish, only invincible hyper can realistically punish.
Now that I’ve re-watched the stream I do think that striders health is great just were its at.
I personally think that Strider/Dante/Vergil can be potentially strong, depending on Vergils assist. He will probably have a projectile or space consuming assist of some sort that will work though if you think about his move set in DMC3…but mixed with Dantes Pillar assist and the blockstun that causes, it could be interesting. Also you can probably DHC from legion into Dantes gun super, or maybe even DHC into his devil trigger, teleport and start one of his ridiculous OTG combos…that would only work if you could DHC from legion immediately and have the animals still go on though, and even then the timing might be tight, Im just speculating. Really though, we are just gonna have to wait and see what Vergil brings to the table and see if he will work as an anchor. If he does, that could very well be a potential team of mine. That or Strider/Vergil/Doom beam assist or missles.
Personally I dont think Zero should ever be an anchor either.
Another one of the teams that I think I might use would be Strider/ Vergil/ Hawkeye, Hawkeye triple shot assist actually seems great, it does some decent chip and it covers a lot of space…could work nicely with Striders improved keep away game…As for my selection of Vergil that is just my fanboy-ness speaking and my ideals of how he could play out factoring in.
The way I see it, Strider is essentially a rich man’s Zero and will probably fit into any of the present Zero team as a replacement. Truth be told I do feel sorry for Megaman fans, between Tron being nerfed and Strider outshining Zero I think you could very well stop seeing any Megaman characters appearing competitively.
Yea I think we are gonna have to wait to see how Vergil and his assists turn out. Thats what I was thinking with Strider/Dante that you could DHC out of legion into Dt and then do some retardedly cool Dante combo afterwards.
I think that Zero is a pretty decent if not good Anchor but thats me.
I cant believe I forgot Hawkeye lol I think Strider/Hawkeye/Task would be pretty deadly.
I think Marns gonna keep using Zero…same for Killer Kai…I hope. Strider really does seem like a better Zero…atleast I have both
What happened to Kai? I haven’t seen him for a long time… does anyone have any vids of him playing? I know he’s a Strider mark, so i think he’ll go to Strider.
He was on Cross Counters MvC3 stream the other day and he was still repping his Wesker/Zero/Task team( i dont remember the order sorry)
And he was still rage quiting. What a sore loser.
I don’t think Strider and Zero clash directly. They are different enough and will probably be good enough that you just pick which ever one you like or suits you.
I agree the only resemblance that i can think is Zeros lighting dash and Striders Excalibur and there teleports…kinda. I will be running both tho
What do you guys think of the possibilities of Strider/Ryu? It sounds cool to me. With the tatsu working like the old-Wolvie/Akuma, plus the possible DHC’s.
