It does, but it gets really really hard on non-fatties.
Im looking at Ghost + Nova’s rush assist for unblockables, still thinking bout a third teammate.
Spencer (Ghost/Spencer is really good too), and then put Ghost on his whip assist for helping Nova and Spencer’s neutral. It’s not perfect, but it seems like a decent team to me.
Spencer/Rider? explain that one to me, because I was thinking Ghost Chain assist, Nova assist Rush, Strider assist dive kick
Well, you can call spencer at the same time you for the Hellspike OTG. It will give you a free relaunch.
What do you guys think of this team Nova/Deadpool/Hawkeye?
Striders Dive kick does the same for Ghost, and it give Ghost a bit of air control.
I’m running X-23 (Ankle Slice) / Nova (Centurion Rush) / Doom (Molecular Shield) . I might change Nova’s assist to the Nova Strike though, just for the wallbounce and what sort of things I’m concocting in my head for it.
Ha now people are going to jump on the Nova Bandwagon. Wonder what happened to all that Nova hate when the game came out >.>
I have Nemesis (Launcher Slam), Nova (Centurion Rush) Strider (Vajra). Still finding team synergy here i like how nem goes into nova really well. Found a lil reset that nova can do off Launcher slam. Anyone mine breaking down my team?
There’s a big difference between seeing a gameplay trailer for a character and actually being in the lab to see how he/she works.
Nova didn’t look like my type of character at all from the trailer, but when I messed around with him in matches/in the lab, I realized how much fun he is and fits my style of play really well.
So now you are Bandwagoning then … lmao j/k.
But What I meant are people who are playing him NOW because Yipes and Combofiend are using him.
Come on man dont hate ^^.
I knew i would be using nova since he was announced because of fanboyisme (same goes for deadpool). But in vanilla, i would not, in a hundred years, knew i’ll love x-23 gameplay at first or Hulk’s with the trailer only.
I’m not gonna lie, I picked him because he look like an IM replacement… and he is…
So, I’m running Nova/Spencer. Fan of both and really glad to hear they work so well together. Having trouble picking a 3rd though. I know they both benefit from a good horizontal/lockdown assist and while I know Drones are pretty much the bestin this category I really want a better overall character than Sentinel as my anchor. Any thoughts on how well Taskmaster or Dormammu would work or at least which of the two would work better?
Taskmaster is quite good in this role. It’s like you said, the assist isn’t quite as good, but the character is much better.
Dorm’s assist doesn’t really work for the right purpose.
That’s fine. With all bandwagons in Fighting Games, the players that are actually good with that character will shine and everyone else will sink to the bottom.
I picked up Nova because he’s my favorite Marvel character. Nothing else other then that. Examining those trailers, and playing him just assured my feelings more that he would be a solid pick.
With that said, I enjoy SNS(Spencer/Nova/Sentinel) the more I play with it, and I can honestly say that it has the potential to go far. Swapping Sentinel for Taskmaster, or Ammy works really well too. Mega Nova Corps is pretty hilarious, and fun in casuals for me(Zero/Nova). I actually thought I wouldn’t enjoy playing those two together.
Overall though I’d have to say SNS works wonders, and I usually play it during casuals or matches when I’m really feeling it. Although I still run Viper way more then him, but that’s more so because she fits with me as player(Not my favorite Capcom character overall, but definitely one of my favorite SF characters).
I picked up Nova because I liked his helmet … honestly
Agreed. I love Dorm as a character, but his assists just dont fit with Nova too well (and sadly he does not work with most of the main characters I’ve played so I have not been able to fit him in to a competitive team since Vanilla)
Yeah. But I would go as far as to say most X-23’s gameplay would be fans of Nova’s as well. I find them to have somewhat similar play styles - very mobile characters, mobile specials that can go horizontal or diagional from air. When I go vs her with Nova, aside from preventing her mobility with Gravimetric pulses and watching for her lvl 3 it feels almost like a mirror match.
