Defenders Unite! (The MvC3 Hulk Team-Building Thread)

Yea…gamma crush is awesome. That’s what got me to stick hulk on my team in the first place. Cheesy wolvie bnb dhc’d to gamma crush is around 850k. Can get over 900k easy if you have an assist that lets wolvie extend combos with his otg slide(doom’s beam or hulks gamma charge might). My team is Wolvie and Hulk, with Ryu/Arthur for assist/anchor. Can finish any character with that dhc as long as I’ve hit them a couple times first.

Wesker is by far the best choice with hulk but as I’m building a little doll shrine on my custom vewlix cabinet with these Product Catalog, i might as well replace wesker (gonna have a galactus on the left and then hulk/wolverine/doom on the right heh.)

Wolverine is insane eh? tried him out today and his bnb is pretty easy to do. Only problem is, i’m doing something like ground string, launch, ground bounce thingy, relaunch, air magic string, and when i get to the ground i’m having problems keep my opponents in the air with my slide attack (none of hulk’s assists hold the opponent up long enough to relaunch or to hit with level 3.) i guess i have to cancel the magic string into :qcb:+:atk::atk: and then cancel that into gamma crush but its less fancy

and yeah like i said before, hulk no longer gets the opportunity to extend strings or abuse the command throw as much. Definitely liking the wolverine (slash)/hulk (wave)/doom (rocks/beam) lineup regardless

Thanks for the smart advice! helped me prevent losing countless hours taking iron man into the lab when i can just cheese it up with wolverine lol.

I’m sticking with Hulk (despite having been raped countless times by Magneto last weekend) and of course with Wesker (he’s just insane) but I’m trying to get rid of Sentinel. His assist is gdlk but I’m tired of his huge hitbox and I just can’t get in with him.

So who besides Doom will be a good replacement for drones? Unibeam is cool but I’m not sure Iron Man is such a good character after all.
What do you guys think about Cold Star, Akuma’s Tatsu, Dark Hole or Aim Master? I need assist that helps Hulk getting in and keeps safe his normals on block.
Also I’m not sure about Storm, Shuma and Magneto.

I’ll surely hit the lab but I’d like to hear your opinions first.

My team for the last week and a half has been Hulk/Dorm (Dark Hole)/Sent (Rocket Punch). When timed right, the hole eats all incoming projectiles. It keeps Hulk normals safe, as well as leading to very easy hit confirms. On block, Dark Hole also leads to very simple 50/50 mixups with Hulk’s various command grabs.

While it’s good up close, Dorm’s assist doesn’t help you get in much. If you want an assist that gets you in, Storm’s hurricanes, Magneto’s disruptor, and Shuma’s ridiculous laser seem to be the best bets. Arthur’s assists aren’t too bad either, but he’s too weak of a character imo.

Thats basically my team, but I have the drones since they help me get in safely and I can always just OTG into Dark hole assist. Plus the drones keep up really nice pressure in the corner for when you take out one of the opponents characters. Drones+ DpLH= awesome corner pressure.

It’s very hard to consistently hit gamma wave + Dorm assist in most mid-screen situations. Otg assists make command grab combos more consistent too.

honestly, sibce you also have wesker in your team

doom plasma beam (why don’t you want him?) or Iron Man unibeam. both those assists work really well for both characters IMO, wesker plus beam is STUPID. aside from helping you get in Plasma beam is also a really good corner combo extender for hulk and you can get 2 relaunches with hulk like that wesker OTG first and gamma wave + beam after (if you can launch you can always get a sj.S into OTG wave xx crush ) (unibeam might work the same way I dont know if it’s fast enough to keep characters in place after an OTG wave).

Chris and Hulk compliment eachother so good, Hulk’s AA helps Chris against weaknesses, Rushdown/Air
Chris with Gunfire can give Hulk some time to get in, DHC’s work pretty good

Thanks for replies.

I’m not saying I don’t want Doom (he’s great! though I’m afraid I may have hard time using him on point). I just wanted to know my options.
To the lab then.

my team looks like this.
Magneto(beam)/Hulk(AA) right from the offset in 1 combo i can build 1 meter with magneto and dhc glitch into hulk.

but who to use as anchor?

sentinel(drones) for cover and he DHC well with hulk and magneto. sagatinel.
wesker (low shot) for unblockables and combo extension

the best team i have his hulk/doom/wesker

strong team

Yeah I was noticing that to and missing out on the extra damage is going to hurt me offline. Online I let free damage go away because I like the way my team is set up but I have a feeling if I do to an offline tournament I would lose a lot of matches with the way my team is set up.

I’m thinking of using Hulk, Magneto, and Wesker for my tournament team. What are your guys opinion on this? Wesker as anchor seems like the best option as he is a beast on his own and with LV3 X factor its just insane. The other thing I see is that mag can zone well and has a good rush down game so he can also hold his own, and I could possibly use his magnetic hold assist to extend hulks combos or I could just use his beam assist. Any thoughts on this team would be greatly appreciated.

Magneto and Wesker are stupidly strong. Just those two can wreck entire teams. You should be fine if you can consistently execute their combos and mix it up.

I really like the way Storm/Hulk/Dr.Doom functions. It looks like you guys figured out Hulk/Doom already. Storm adds a DHC glitch and… well… Storm!

tbh though, DHC gliching to hulk doesn’t do much since you can’t combo after unless you xfactor.

or am i wrong?

ur not wrong, but unscaled rock damage is better than scaled dhc damage. i get 850ish damage with 2 meters with my dhc glitch combo.

Well, one of the nice things about DHC from Storm to Hulk is you can ALWAYS take them to the corner regardless of where you were, which is just a nice little advantage. I do Storm’s flight combo and Ele Rage ports you to next to where your opponent is knocked down essentially (a good little tidbit to know). After the j.S at the end of the flight combo, the enemy is more or less full screen away, and Ele Rage (hold M or H) puts you right next to them, and by this point they are cornered, even if you came from the other corner. Gamma Quake right before final hit of Ele Rage, Hulk is in and you have them cornered. You probably just killed a character too.

Hulk/Storm DHC is nice, but I don’t really know how to play Storm that well. Hulk/Sent DHC is pretty nice too…especially if you catch both a point and assist and pop XF right after you DHC into Sent’s HSF. Killed off quite a few teams that way.

Hi, i need some help with my hulk team. I’m having a very hard time to decide. All i know is that hulk is second . I need a good battery/projectile charachter on point so i’m thinking about Chris, dont know if they are any good so any opinions about these two would be great, like best assists synergy. The biggest problem is an otg assist/anchor so i need suggestions. I did consider wesker but i don’t wanna jump on the bandwagon so someone else would be nice that works with hulk throws and airgame.

Thank you very much.

Almost anyone has its uses for Hulk. If you’re set on an OTG assist that can double as an anchor I would have to limit myself to Wesker, Dante, Sent, or She-Hulk and of these I’d give the nod to Dante.
