I suck at making Cable teams and I need help.
Besides Team Scrub/Row I play Cable - b/Sent - y/Doom - a
What makes a good Cable team and what are some good characters to assist Cable?
what makes a good cable team IMO is having a really good or decent cable. but XXX/Cable/Doom or XXX/Cable/Sent and XXX/Cable/Commando are all really good to start with.
Cable/Magneto/Doom.
Cable, Storm, Cyc/Cammy/Capcom
Spiral, Cable-y, Sent-y
Storm, Sentinel, Cable [Various orders as long as Storm and Sentinel are usually back to back]
Basically, if you want to use cable you must decide what position in the team you want him to fulfill.
I decided to shorten this post. It was too long and wordy.
IMO Cable works well w/ Mag, but Mag doesn’t work w/ Cable.
Otherwise, Cable/Mag/Doom workz.
Yeah I use team Duc and SScable, I’m just not good w/ Spiral or Storm (but I still play her)
I usually keep Cable 1st against Sent, I save Sent for Mags, and Storm for other characters.
My Cable is still scrubbish (BIG camper) so I use him 1st most of the time.
But I always thought Cable needs:
1 ant-air assist for rushdown freaks
1 projectile assist to back him up
Because of this I would just use Team Scrub.
ironman, cable, doom
its different, but man its good
Magneto can use the Cable anti air assist. There are far better things to use, but this can be quite useful.
Magneto, Cable-aa
-If blocked it acts like Cyclops. It pins them down just long enough to set up a triangle jump. Your hit can come from anywhere [I prefer low back]
-It sets up the ROM infinite.
-If you screw that up, it sets up an airthrow attempt
-If you hit their assist, they’re left solo with your Mags with their assist sky high [Real dangerous situation]
-I know how to set up the double snap off this should you both get hit by it. [3 hit ROM x1-2 reps, snap, kill.]
-If you both get hit, when you land, the Magneto can try to snap you both out since you’ll both be in the same area.
-Often times you’ll be cornered if you get hit by this, so you’ve lost all kinds of beneficial screen position.
-There is the threat that you can alpha counter in Cable and wipe out their team. Most players today are aware of it, but it can come in handy. People forget sometimes.
I say it’s almost equal both ways with Cable having the advantage the other way.
i’d like to add to that.
- if it cable(aa) hits your point character with your assist left behind = massive assist damage… more like triple/five fierce combo or some sort
