I think Strider is going to be somewhat like Phoenix in that you are going to have to design a team around his needs to get the most out of him; I don’t think you are going to be able to plop him in the middle of an existing team, unless those pieces happen to fit just right. At the minimum, I think he is going to need a good battery to start the match; I don’t think he is going to be much effective at the first character in.
damn, clock fuckin sucked with strider. Floe’s strider still holds as the most impressive at the moment.
Where can I find footage of Floe’s Strider?
Also, Cisco and Haiku, you guys are also going to use Zero+Strider right?
Strider’s Orbs are somewhat weak atm especially when you compare it to Dante’s DT.
Dante’s DT
-1 meter
-last 10 sec
-power boost
-regenerate health
-new moves like flight,etc
-some invincibility start up
-no recovery I think?
-no meter gain
-no chip dmg with normals but still chip with specials
Strider’s Orb
-3 meters
-last about 5 sec
-some recovery?
-no meter gain
-no chip dmg but still chip with specials?
I might have miss some points here and there. Not too much info on orbs so I can’t fully speculate too much on it but I think it should be at least lvl 1 or 2 since it is only dangerous when combine with XF atm. 3 meters+XF is an expensive price to pay to kill 1 character.
It’s in that twitch video link. I believe it’s one of the July 21 vids. I might, however i have interests in trying Strider/Ghost rider/Dormammu. From what i’ve learned from floe, it’s best to use strider on point than second by bringing him in with orbs. That is so MVC2 where your point has to dhc strider in. Floe was 10x better than clock with Strider. He freakin ocv’d Dante, Wesker and sentinel with such fashion and with out orbs.
damn, clockwOrk got me a bit upset.
that just translates as “strider’s orbs isn’t as good anymore and people are overestimating it”. It doesn’t seem like a super you can launch a full scale comeback with against 3 characters, especially with the duration being so quick. If you’re wasting 3 meters for it you better kill ATLEAST two characters with it because there are plenty of other characters who don’t even need to spend that much meter to kill an entire team.
Edit: @ Mr. X, lol that’s awesome.
that combo against sentinel in the first part was pretty slick. also yeah, I agree with those who say strider is gonna need teams centered around him. itching to see how the old strider/doom/sentinel team works…
Facepalm because people are supposed to be good with Strider after spending minutes with him?
did anyone sift through hours of UMvC3 matches to find floe play Strider?
Clockw0rk has years of MvC2 Strider habits/tendencies to erase. It’s easier to start off fresh like Floe then to relearn almost everything.
Lol just came to laugh at how shitty Oroboros is now. Good job Capcom way to over nerf Strider’s best super.
Yeah Zero/Strider/Good anchor liek tronne
DEF sticking with zero now after doing the theory team stuff. We should discuss the zero/strider on zero threads later though.
What was Floe’s team?
We can do that over there at the Zero forums in the team thread. Let’s leave this thread for Strider theory fighting only. And to debate on Ouroboros lol.
tron got nerfed though didn’t she?
I say strider will be a glass canon, hes gonna be hard to use ( HOPEFULLY ) and do good mixups.
Apparently only the assist (Type-b), haven’t heard anything about her moveset.
I think I remember reading something in the UMvC3 changes thread about her j.H having more pushback, meaning it’s gonna be harder for her to confirm into combos.
