the first thing i’m doing is replacing tron on my team and playing task/strider/sent (not necessarily in that order). like i said, strider will probably be on point. i plan on using the mobility that i’ve been longing for since dropping mvc2 once 3 dropped. if orbs isn’t ORBS then then i’ll deal with it but i’m going to be in a nigga’s face regardless. i’ve always been about high risk high reward so even if he does has 700k health i’ll deal with it.
push comes to shove then i’ll play task first, build meter, dhc into strider, build more meter zoning/mixing up and then activate orbs when needed.
it’ll work.
(i will be messing around with doom, dante and his brother, dr strange, hawkeye, wright, rr, etc. just to see, tho…)
Im liking the way you think. I think IM will be a great teammate for strider but I think Dante can be switched out for for as you said Zero but I also think Ammy will great for Strider if you do wanna play him like phoenix or if you dont want IM on the team.
Thank you, I put Ironman on even my most competitive teams (Zero, IM, Akuma) because I think the assist is so good, let alone with some buffs on point in ultimate it should be good. I don’t use Ammy but she could def work the same way.
Zero, Strider, IM is a low health team but that’s two characters that can cause a headache being Zero & Strider with very controlling projectiles, high priority and mixups. I think Ouroboros shouldn’t be the initial plan because the enemy will see that from miles a way when you’re running Battery, Strider, Assist. However if your strider manages to fight his way to 3 meters, let it fly.
Yea i agree IM is a great addition to a lot of teams i used to run him on some of my competitive teams Like he was great with Wesker and Hulk. If anything you could change IM for Doom and have the same effect its all just a matter of preference. I think Zero/Strider will be the new Strider/Doom of this game because Zero is a great battery for strider (or vise versa) and they could have a real good lockdown with the assists and mix ups. Ammy could be used like morrigan for her meter assist or like Doom/IM with her Cold Star assist. Ouroboros will be seen from a mile away but I seems like the better of the two lvl 3s because he can have so many mix ups and if he gets in hes not getting out till ur dead.
It’s great to see clockwOrk up in here. I can’t wait to see him buff up and kick ass with strider again. IMO, i don’t think he needs oro as much as it has been talked about here. The video link i showed is a good example of how powerful strider is with out it. He is capable of taking out teams by himself, on point, and with out orbs. The only problem with Strider is his health. I strongly feel they should put his health to atleast Magneto’s level; a health increase is needed more than everything else. Just put his health to Magneto’s or Storm’s, or even Zero’s health.
800k for strider is already more than enough, honestly. dude is looking easily top tier at this point. NOT YUN TIER, TOP TIER. I REPEAT, NOT YUN TIER.
last thing I want is for people online to start raging at a character I wanted to play since day 1, and capcom just happened to make him a -little- too good compared to his last iteration in the vs series
I’m going to make Strider my point character, my ideal team at the moment is Strider/Ghost rider/Dormammu, i may replace Ghost rider with dante or Vergil though. I really wanted to use Zero/Strider however i don’t like using 2 glass cannons. I think Strider shopuld go to magneto’s health.
that’s what I was saying, asking for magneto health for strider is asking a lot imo since he has way too many good tools, making him one of the best point chars in the game from the looks of it.
I always liked having one glass cannon char backed up by at least one high health character, which is why I run magneto/wesker in vanilla and that pairing is gdlk. DHC glitches and unblockables all around.
I was thinking of running Thor/Strider using Strider’s tracking divekick to set up some throw games. Plus Thor with all his health and damage will build godlike meter for Strider.
I think Strider should have Zero health because so far they seem slightly similar(Strider looking slightly better tho) and I do think hes gonna be great with or without orbs its just gonna be an added bonus if you do use it but I think we will see ragnorok more.
You do realize MvC2 Strider had low health as well right and was not nearly as good as this Strider?
He does not need 900 k health. Projectile war, good damage, OTG, teleports, he is fine as the way he is. If he gets a health increase, I demand his overall damage get nerfed to Zero’s.
This. People do need to take in mind that regardless of Strider’s high versatileness, he is still one of the most complex characters to use and study. I feel like we need to go to Capcom’s suggestion box and just ask for a health boost to Magneto/Storm’s level (which is just 50pts above Zero’s, i believe.
I don’t get your point with this, no offense. Suggesting for his damage to go to Zero’s isn’t a bad trade in for me though.
