Hows this team sound?

Strider/Doom/Arthur(Doom Was A favorite of mine in MVC2 and i used him here and there in MVC3 arthur’s my fav in MVC3)

though when i think about it if i seriously was gonna use a team like that i might have to consider using someone else in doom’s position

I’d almost say put Arthur’s ass on point and screw around for a while. Strider in 3 really looks anchory to me.

I’m always in support of any Arthur team in Ultimate, though, with all the buffs he’s getting, and Strider looks really solid. Any assist choices you’ve picked out in particular? I doubt this will be yet another round of Strider Doom Ourocks.

well in MVC3 i started out by picking fire bottle for arthur but than i switched to dagger toss and have never looked back
for doom though i see molecular shield working the best probably(hidden missiles might not be too effective on this team)

as for strider i am just taking a guess since i was never able to use him all that well in MVC2(than again i never really used him that much) and i’ve been searching for any character that would benefit arthur out of the new cast

I don’t want to rag on the chance for an interesting Strider team where every character is doing something different rather than Fate Of Three Rushdowns but I’d almost recommend waiting to see how the rest of the cast plays and what their assists are if you’re looking for Arthur support… and I hate to be negative, but I don’t feel like there’s a whole ton of assist synergy going on here as yet.

He’ll probably still want a strong anti-air assist on point; if Strider proves to have something good on that front you’re golden (still haven’t looked at his assists near as much as I should). But if Rocket Raccoon has some murderous AA gun, or if Phoenix Wright has some hilarious Take That! uppercut, or something, you might want to look elsewhere than Strider for your Arthur support buddy.

Hesitant to say Strider/Doom will still be the pairing it was in 2, too.

yeah i know(really impatient to see how who gets revealed next)really interested to see how rocket raccoon and phoenix wright fight…

From Maximilian’s preview of UMVC3 footage, you can kind of see how if you do basic air combo into MVC2’s j.qcf.lk you can sometimes get a relaunch. Can’t wait for the 1+ hour of footage, vacation ended and I don’t want to be bored for much home. My friend’s don’t wanna hang out ever >:/

I know that feel bro,I know that feel

Link please


8:30 - 8:31

He gets I think s.:m: after it, in SDCC I saw someone doing a complete second air combo, so hopefully it’s possible.

God, i can’t wait to get my hands on umvc3 to hit the lab with strider.

I watched Max trying to do this at Evo, I think he got the relaunch a couple of times. Can’t wait to see all of his footage.

There are some other good teams

Strider/Doom/Dormammu is another possible solid team. Hidden missiles+Strider’s orbs sounds inescapable, however doom’s beam assist is also a nice assist because it’s fast, and it pushes them back.

I heard that Strider’s assists are pretty good, all of them do wall/ground bounce. His sword slash move causes a hard knockdown, Gram causes wall bounce i think and vagula can OTG from what i heard… i’m not sure if it can work like weskers low shot assist.

I was thinking of using Zero/Strider/Doom if I didn’t like any of the new characters, and I was thinking what assist would be good for Doom now. Plasma Beam is one of the best assists for Zero in the game (probably Top3 or so), but for Strider it could be good for pushing people back and helm him zone a bit.

One thing is that while Zero’s command dashes are fast and on the ground, you can actually cross-up people with Doom’s beam, but with Strider his teleports go pretty high and are slower so I wonder if he can get any cross-ups going on. I don’t want to drop Doom for Sentinel o_O (even do I like Sentinel).

I think strider’s assist would work nice with Zero’s combos. Ama causes hard knock down, and i think Vagula also when it hits in the air.

I think Doom’s assists will work out well with strider, any of them. I dont remember strider’s l teleport being slow, his H one with the kick is kinda slow though. Also, with Doom’s new buffs I wouldn’t think of switching him for sentinel, EVER.

hopefully the footage releases tomorrow…
._.

I just want to find out what the new Strider/Doom is…

There is 8 other characters to be released. That is 24 new assists.

We will basically have to wait until release to know what goes good with what again.
