Strider has a lot of BS on point the only reason people dont know about is because no one plays him on point except a very few of us. Chou is pretty much the only person I have seen play a proper strider on point. Even having seen that he still has some more BS that people havent explored deeply enough to abuse…Then again most of the cast is like that so it is what it is.
anchor zero has a lot of bs too. my point is its not the best position for the character.
Tac infinite character second+strider point is easily s tier
My biggest problem with strider on point is that vergil is in this game and popular. I cannot beat Vergil with strider.
A lot of people just can’t think outside the box since all they base their game on is srk articles and watching vids on YouTube.

If that’s true, Doom and Strider are really BFFs then. Have you been watching FGTV streams lately? ShadyK’s been doing Doom’s TAC infinite consistently for a little more than a week already.
Strider isn’t a glass cannon, he’s just made of glass. The hardest combo he has only does 588k? That’s so dumb. Yeah, Strider is a good anchor but if you’re saving XFactor just for that, I feel like something’s off in the way you’re playing the game. Besides, once people start to catch on to how to block Oroborous, you’re left with less than half of your XF, and when that’s out, good luck because Strider does shit damage compared to the other anchors like Vergil. He’s a good assist, and XF3 makes up for the lack of damage, I’ll agree with that, but saying that he ONLY belongs on anchor is not the way to evolve him since it’s only a temporary boost. If people continue to just put him on anchor, they won’t see how capable he is with assists.
I can do about 850-900k in one strider combo. Remember you start with a bar. My strider combo + strider + dante th can end a dangerous character when I need it to happen. Considering most good teams Tod a character health could be considered irrelevant unless were talking Thor/nemesis hp . What are you ever going to do with that narrow mind?

Strider is useful in all team spots. Anchor is his best spot for now because it’s the easiest spot to make him work in but he’s basically like Magneto where he effectively works in any spot.
TAC infinites have already immensely boosted his strength in the point spot. If you are playing Strider on point you better be at minimum running a TAC infinite behind him or you’re just…well this thread is basically for people who aren’t being creative and can’t figure shit out any way within the game.
He basically has the best teleports in the game. Track you regardless of where you go and can always appear in front or behind so pretty much any long ranged assist can always set up a mix up where they pretty much have to guess left or right. This is considering you can already make them guess left or right even if you use the same teleport over and over. Also has multiple moves without assist to place hit boxes inbetween them. Easily giving him the best port game the game has to offer. That’s before even counting his dive kick port.
With your logic pretty much any teleport is bad because any teleport can get you killed if you just throw it out there. That’s why Strider has at least 3 or 4 moves that allow him to place a hit box on the screen before teleporting so you don’t have to worry about that and always be able to set up just frame cross ups off of them. He basically doesn’t need an assist to assist teleport basically. Strider’s ports have among the better recovery in the game so even if you did do the port raw it’s not like it has Rocket Raccoon recovery or anything. Plus he’s the only character in the game that has a dive kick port which can stuff bad attempts to punish it.
Which calling an assist before teleporting is basic teleport footsie stuff. You really shouldn’t be playing Strider if you don’t know that you should be placing hit boxes in the middle of your teleports as often as you can.
I play strider on anchor so having assists…is not part of my game plan. him being able to teleport anywhere on the screen really isn’t that important IMO. since he can be thrown from super jump height…strider can’t place boxes that high. the tiger and orb toss don’t really place a hit box that helps his teleport since normal jump avoids both. the bird is ok but its box is tiny and blockstun is pretty miniscule as well…not saying it doesn’t have its place i just use a different tactics for opening up my opponents in one on one situations.
Ink made mention of his assist and x factor so it was my impression he was speaking on anchor strider teleports…which i still think are a pretty bad idea outside of some situations.
so i’ll have to disagree…yes i’m doing it right…and yes my strider fucks shit up thanks
I saw a friend playing Dante/Strider/Mags, that team is completely incredible hard to play against, you can´t do anything in the air, and in the ground you have mixups with beams that leads to death, or a 50/50, IMO is better than Dante/Vergil/Magneto, because Vajra is so godlike, and strider has Disruptor for free 100% mixups all day, i don’t understand how anyone can be dissapointed by strider, seriously it seems like capcom wanted the characters with teleports and swords be the best in this game, godlike assist+safe incredible difficult to block mixups, yeah this character is weak, zero does low damage, and dante needs more moves that leaves you in 322738573857+ frames at advantage.
#1: To the person who said something lke “Strider’s Assist, unlike Wesker’s gunshot, does something ‘other than shoot at the ground.’”
Funny that you are constrasting these when they’re two part of the same routine: knock someone down, pick them back up.
Wesker’s assist also allows for a lot of unblockable setups, in addition to being the best OTG combo extender in the game.
Not knocking Strider’s assist, because Vajra is better than gunshot, but you are seriously underestimating how awesome Wesker’s gunshot assist truly is, even in Ultimate with far more other OTG options on new and pre-existing characters.
#2:
Can’t think outside the box? Not that simple. “The box” is simply way more huge because the existence of what you mentioned, articles and videos, not that people can’t think outside. Fighting game technology is completely different than before, and your post reeks of false “get off my porch, n00b LOL” nostalgia.
Yeah this team is very strong. Gives Dante 2 strong assists instead of just one and all you have to do is be familiar on how to start the round with Dante against different matchups. From there just go HAM because vajra and disruptah will allow you to set up so many post combo options that you’ll be able to kill people easily even if it’s not in one combo. If Dante dies…as long as Strider comes down safely he gets one of his best assists and if he lands a hit TAC infinite into Magneto and basically make Strider almost untouchable afterwards along with killing the character. It’s very simple to just burn XF2 and go cray with Strider since you can kill 1 or 2 people easily with XF2 Strider + assist and then 3rd one you can always just land an infinite on or kill with level 3 if you have the meter.
I lost to a Viper/Strider/Coon player @ SB who also had some wild shit with Strider + Coon.
One year later, oh doood, EAT YO WORDS lol
It’s okay. I don’t expect you to understand. I still estimate that over 85% of this community will continue to talk trash even though they contribute nothing because they may simply not have the capacity to do so, or are too lazy. Also, nothings different. Fighting games still work the same way on a fundamental level. It just depends on how bright you are that will determine how much you can bend the rules before your caught…strider on point team syndrome.
