Strider isn’t a Dissapointment hes a great character there’s a reason why Dante is top tier and you will only understand that if you’ve played Devil may cry truely.Characters in this game are based alot around the Abilities in Comics or there games.Dante is very agile and quick in his games which is why hes how he is.Strider is the same his is very fast in his games and its why Strider’s speed can easily out beat many players.I think everyone can beat defeated it you commit to your characters enough.
When I see vergil, wesker, nova, spencer, zero, mags, etc… I’m disappointed. The fact he is a threat only when he turns into a gimmick lvl 3 is pathetic. Again someone show me match play of a strider on point murdering consistently in a high level match. For someone that deals so lil damage and has such low health he should have better priority.
That level 3 XF gimmick instantly makes him the best character in the game. Watch chao.
Strider is great anywhere it depends how good you are with him,You can’t underestimate Strider nor any Glass Cannon’s,The reason why you don’t see Strider on point is because his strongest with his 3XF,And lets get this straight many people use many character’s for many reason but I for one don’t use Vergil or Wesker for 3 XF,You guys don’t understand the amount of loyalty i have to Dante/Vergil/Chris/Wesker or any RE/DMC character simply because i love these games to death.Infact if it wasn’t for any of these character i would have never bought this game.But of course thats just me.If you commit loyalty to your characters anything can be done.Best part is THIS IS >MVC3< Not MVC2 were going to be seeing new techniques every month from diffrent player even online so anyone has potential to be on top.
Check out footage of Chou from from Kubodsgarden. He used Strider on point and never used Ouroborus (spelling?). He won the tournament. Also, Clockw0rk is placing frequently in the Runbacks, and he alters his team (either has Strider second or as the anchor).
Strider’s standing Light starts up in 4 frames, which is among the fastest of all the normals in the game. I use Strider on point now as I love it! lol, but yo… I think Nova’s overrated. The others you mentioned are designed to be amongst the best in the game.
Strider loves mag beam on point…

That’s basically my strategy lol
I feel like using 2 assists in a combo could net him 700k w/ no bar. That’s if your willing to play that cockily . If I combined my bnb with double or tripple wall cling with ground bounce interrupts.

Honestly Strider will be pants on head retarded once people figure out a way to make him as retarded as he already is as an assist + XF3.
Mind going into detail? What makes your point Strider scary?
Yeah, I’d like to see that too. I really want to see how Hiryu can be effective on point with assists because I’m trying to avoid using him as an anchor.
It feels like Strider was a flavor of the month character, where everyone swore up and down they were this big time Strider main, but I have rarely seen anyone use him. Especially when they found out Orbs was lvl3, his ratings went down hard…
You’re just talking about point Strider. Which is the same dilemma people have with Sentinel. Capable but just not good enough to be worth using on point mainly because his assist is so good that it defeats the purpose. In Vanilla people wanted to be Sentinel point mains n shit (cuz MVCTWOOO HE WAS DA BESSS), but people realized he had too many issues up front but was gdlk as an assist plus XF3 (well until people figured out his XF3 wasn’t gdlk either).
The main thing with Strider is that he has a lot of potential on point…it’s just his assist and XF3 are so damned good that there really isn’t much logical point to it. Anchor Strider got top 16 @ Evo so it’s pretty safe to say that Strider will be around one way or another in major tourneys for a while. Anchor Strider is going to stay really oppressive and make up a good amount of the game’s best teams.
You may not get to play him the exact way you want (unless you work hard as hell to build a team around point Strider), but anchor Strider is the business and pretty much alone counts him as one of the best characters.
As good as anchor strider is I have a hard time telling if it is better to run Hidden missiles, or if maybe teams that use one versus the other just beat different things. or maybe such teams just play differently and the problem is I can only beat matchups using one over another right now.
I am definately beating different teams when I swap out strider for missiles so the value of strider to the team is somewhat nebulous to me. I am still saing he’s very good though.
This may be due to my lack of individuality, but I genuinely think Chou had the best point Strider team in Strider/Magneto/Vergil. Well, I’d have Magneto as* the anchor*, lol, but only because Disruptor and the teleport is really strong. Rapid Slash make’s the Vajra safe if it is blocked, and the way he utilizes the Rapid Slash in his corner combos with Strider is probably my favourite tech in the game alongside a couple of other things I won’t long this post out with lol. The Disruptor is really good with Strider’s teleport mix-ups too.
The main reason I’m a proponent of Strider on point is that I don’t think things should be dictated by the status quo, logic (lol), precedents or whatever. If we keep go by what we should do, then ultimately we’d all be running the same teams, or using the same strategies. And besides, we wouldn’t discover new things if we kept doing the same things.
But admittedly, you probably won’t be winning many tournaments… lol
Tac infinites, problem solved
Ill try to record some casual matches sometime this week. I use strider/Dante(ws) and either sentinel/doom/mags/wesker anchor. I don’t typically lose strider fast because I play very very carefully.
Also note. Not bragging honestly but I did get 3 or 4 games straight on fanatic during sbo quals casuals using that team variation.
I mainly play him on point so my anchor strider is better.

Strider is a good assist, and a good Lvl 3 x-factor character. This is what people say.
He is more than that! I feel like hardly anyone has really put the effort in. Even clockworks Strider is nothing special, in my opinion.
His wave dash is amazing. His teleport are some of the best in the game. His jumping H crosses up very easily.
There is a lot to work with.
I just don’t get it…why are people so obsessed into making Strider something he isn’t. his assist and lvl3 are waaay too good not to be played in the anchor slot. I’ve put tons of effort into making him work in other positions but its just not a really good idea.
Ink Striders teleports are pretty bad…its not like you can just throw them out there and if he gets thrown he dies. one mistake he dies…i like the balance that if i use my x factor if they make one mistake they die. Striders priority safe moves and hit co’s could definitely use some tweaking as well. using traditional assists does make his point game better…(drones, missiles, beam etc) the same can be said for akuma…but i’d rather have a beastly anchor character rather than a average(maybe above average) point character. It’s like anchoring zero sure you can do it but why would you.
