You can also put sentinel as 2nd so you can maximize the damage of Aerial exchange. I’m seriously having good thought about this team, but it’s really lame in a way to main the same team you’ve mained for 10 years already…
And i like Vergil.
True, and Doom is a better anchor than Sentinel, so that’s another plus of putting Sentinel second.
To be honest, I find the concept of a 10 year old MvC2 team working well in UMvC3 very interesting. Considering how different UMvC3 is from MvC2, there’s still so much to explore, but you’ll also have a kind of homey comfort of playing a familiar team. But that’s just my opinion.
Sentinel’s bomb assist maybe a good assist for strider. It comes out fast and can allow for Strider to get in faster with his teleports. Legion DHC to HSF or the otherway around sounds great too.
Yeah, Sentinel is definitely the better DHC partner. Legion into Plasma Storm near the corner, or Plasma Storm into Ragnarok. And of course, Anything into Ouroboros. And if drone bombs are fast enough, maybe Doom’s rocks can be a relevant lockdown assist again.
Which Strider assist will help out Sentinel and Doom most though? Gram could work of they cover Strider with a beam, but Vajira is also amazing.
Here is a video of Dios X using Doom/Strider/Sent against Floe (there is one with him and Clock before this). I think Strider needs to be on point.

sign me up for the strider bandwagon…
Question, does Strider’s Ouroboros fire automatically? Or do you need to keep pressing normals for it to come out as in Mvc2?
They are the same as they were in Marvel 2. You have to press buttons for the Ouroboros to shoot, not counting assists and possibly S.
Strider teams look like they’ll function differently whether he’s in the 2 spot or the 3 spot. if he’s the 2nd character, you may wanna reserve your meter for xf2 + orbs + assist (still holding out for Wesker to allow some retardation), but if he’s in the 3 spot, you’ll wanna use your meter for xfactored ragnarok(s). what we saw in his gameplay vids (legion xx xfc xx teleport, ragnarok) should be enough to finish off even the highest health characters.
a good counter strategy may be to use side exchanges and/or morrigan to suck meter from Strider teams and kill him before he activates, or otherwise, snap him in and kill him with one combo.
minor note, it seems to me, he has two different ways to relaunch, but it’ll need experimentation. he may be able to relaunch from S sjc’d vajiras, giving him an alternative to excalibur relaunches, which seem a little inconsistent. if so, he’ll be able to reliably relaunch from varying heights and from different types of hits.
i haven’t played mvc3 since 2nd week of launch but i will start playing umvc3 competitively. do you think trish/strider/iron man would make a good team?
Strider/Vergil/Dante is another strong team on concept.
Good because I was confused about-
The post about Ouroboros is kind of misleading and not clear to whether they fire on it’s own or not, but could’ve just been my interpretation.
that
That team has mega low health. As all 3 have around average to below average life.
So does Magneto/Sent/Phoenix, and Mags/Zero/Sentinel but it worked well.
You do realize these teams you just listed have some sort of synergy to them… Strider/vergil is great like i said you would probably need a nemesis or sent assist to get in as both characters seem similar to when i was playing them at Fight club.
So now Strider is a glass cannon? Cannon part must not work.
Yup, so does Strider/Vergil/Dante on paper. Dante’s assist allows pinning which is good for teleporters, strider’s animals and fire ball allows him to zone pretty good as it is, and vergil has that orb sphere projectile as an assist.
One thing I’ve always wondered about strider, do the rings that come out during ouroboros have their position dependent on which button was pressed (if I press L the come out at the bottom, M for mid and H comes out high)? Because if that’s the case, the other player can see which button was pressed before the teleport and guess right.
Max uploaded another vid with some strider impressions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnqHlphOtMA&feature=player_embedded
double overhead looks nasty
tbh I can see myself being hit by that all the time
