GOD DAMNNN the Nova corps be busy in the lab!!!
Oh god yes. This is amazing.
Cool, I can officially spend 3 bars for more damage and without fucking up my team order. Iām a little hype.
This is aimed mainly at Marvelo, but anyone who plays Nova/Dante, really. I havenāt really tried Weasel shot so I donāt know what that opens up for Novaā¦ I love Jam session so Iām keeping itā¦ but in any case, if you can ignore the largely straight up atrocious gameplay (I had literally driven 10 hours in the preceding 24 and gone straight to a session without sleep) so far in my experience, Iāve found that my set up I use at 3:39 is really, really goodā¦

j.L, c.M + jam session, L cent rush
You get a plethora of stuff to do. First they have to block the instant overhead, if they do theyāre forced to eat jam session and the L cent rush not only brings negates the push block, but stops chicken blocking. From there you can either instant overhead again, empty jump c.M, empty jump throw, etc. And itās easy to hit confirm at any point. In the instance in the video the guy gets caught up backing after blocking the instant overhead. The only bad thing is that Jam session scales to high heaven, but you can pretty much have your way with them so I think itās fair trade off. Iām pretty new to the character so you can see me miss the set up a shit ton of times but once I can put you in it every time i work you to the corner it should be solid
Anyway, just wanted to share. Iāve only been playing Nova for a couple of weeks but I think he is so fucking good.
Also to that dude who found the double hearts on fire comboā¦ if that can do a mill, you literally might have saved my team. The only way I can do close to a mill is by doing the air combo, AD down, launch + jam session, javelin, jump H rocket punch, hearts on fire out of the corner, shockwave max hits, and even then it only does like 880+ Itās not enough for UMVC3 so I figured this team couldnāt workā¦ but seriously if that shit does anywhere close to a mill I will be so happy
Good shit, guys! Hope this helps!
You got the right idea about Cent Rush pressure. Mixing that up with Cent Rush M gives you a pretty effective setup, and itās completely safe thanks to Jam Session.
Iām not sure about the scaling when using Jam Session as an extension, but you should be able to get a 900-ish combo with double Super Nova. I can get around 905k, so Iām only planning on using it when I want to spend 3 bars DHCing into Sphere Flame to maintain my team order. I donāt think this should validate using Nova/Magneto cause Disruptorās not that great for him and their DHC synergy is so meh, but itās a good damage option.
You got pretty much the right idea, but your timing is a bit off. If you do cr.M, call jam session, then cent rush L/M. The timing serves you up better because you have an additional mixup youāre able to do. Cent Rushes are the key though. IMO. To a relentless rushdown.
So it can look something like this.

Also, Iāve found that Jam Session for this purpose isnāt all that great just because if theyāre already in the air theyāll block the entirety of Jam Session within the air. You need to reorganize your team though and possibly drop Magneto. Disruptor sucks for Nova.
Jam Session, however, is awesome at Combo Extensions and meaty mixups during their wakeup. Something like ending a combo with Nova Slam then cr.M or Cent Rush L during their wake up while calling Jam Session. If they arenāt blocking high they get hit and Jam Session gives you a confirm, but if theyāre blocking you get 2 mixups since theyāre blocking Jam Session the whole time.
Plasma Beam, Task Arrows, Weasel Shot, Bolts, Cold Star, Dagger Toss(amazinnng for Nova), Rapid Slash, LogTrap/SpitfireTwice, and Vajra are the best assists suited for Cent Rush lockdown though IIRC. Maybe Iām missing oneā¦
But those are the ones that are great. Everyone should have at least one of those on their team IMO. If you donāt Nova aināt OPTOMIZED. Doom/Dante serve the purpose of raw tag + cent rush lockdown so theyāre pretty gooood.
Niceā¦I knew there was at least ONE more practical application. Nova/Hulk seems like a pretty solid shell. What do you think Hulks best assists are? Drones/Haggar huh? How well does he do with Plasma Beam? Cold Star?
Hyakuretsukyaku motherfucker! lol
The 2nd-tier lockdown assists are like Sent Drones, Unibeam, Tenderizer, Mystic Ray (this might actually be better than I think it is due to its frametrap potential), and the tatsu assists.
Also I messed around with Nova/Hulk/Plasma Beam after I found the hard tag trick and was getting some success with it. Sent Drones is probably more universal for both characters though. Hulkās BFF is Doom Missiles though because they allow him to take as many risks as he needs to get a hit and extend his combos consistently.
And one question about Jam Session: is it still decent for lockdown mid-screen? I seem to remember it pushing the opponent way far away on block.
I play against a really good Hulk a lot and I almost feel like Drones is mandatory since it makes so much of Hulkās offense safe, gives him combo extensions and to some degree lockdown for mixups, so maybe Nova/Hulk/Sent would have to be the team?
Itās not good midscreen after Cent Rushes. Since he actually appears behind Nova, youāre left unsafe after Cent Rushes. You can still abuse the assist, but you gotta do it differently. Overall Weasel Shot is better for Nova IMO.
What exactly is your team? Iāll see what magic I can do lol Nova by himself already does like 940k with 2 meters though.
Fooblat seems to make great use of Plasma Beam and Lariat assists. I never cared for them because they donāt fit my play-style with Hulk.
I have a friend who uses Cold Star with Hulk(not very well), so I canāt really say much about it. I know Hulk and Drones the best, so thatās what I recommend.
Drones allow me to get a lot of hit confirms off any grounded Gamma Charge, help get in safely, apply pressure, extend combos, you name it.
Drones is probably the better overall assist for Hulk than Plasma Beam, but Doom is so much better than Sentinel (at least for me). That said I think Hidden Missiles is kind of like an inverted Drones for Hulk.
When mentioning assists for the Nova/Hulk shell, itās worth noting that there is some rather insane throw tech with Mystic Ray - it has so little blockstun that Hulk gets really easy anti-air command throwsā¦ which nova can then combo off of. <br>
