Still, why wouldn’t you just pick a character with a good assist to start with. Save the trouble.
Besides, if you hit someone with Zero’s 5C or 6C (or anything), they should be dead, Zero does like a minimum of 800k damage on his BnB’s.
I’m confident in my Zero & i want him on a team with nova. Doom isn’t even a thought because i already play with him & will probably put him together with nova eventually.
This is just my team with Nova for the time being
ive seen tons of people using nova’s centurion rush assist, anyone know if it has some sort of inv?
I use nem(clothesline)/nova(pulse)/doom(beam) i like pulse better due to you being able to setup semi safe tick grabs with nemi when I close in using doom beam in the mid screen area cr. A,B, call assist, command grab (you can switch off when to call the assist). if you miss the shield will be on nemesis giving him time to recover if they pushblock the shield will also be there allowing you to once again move in with doom beam assist.
when i have them in the corner i switch to beam because the grab will be reset by them hitting the shield in corner sit.
i also have a reset invloved in the corner with beams as a cover up that allow me to be safe if i miss the grab and causes them to force to block. if i guess right its a dead character
not to mention the dhc very well no matter the order
The games been out like two weeks…
It’s an overhead, and it also causes a ground bounce that doesn’t take the ground bounce limit into consideration. Usually, you can only perform one ground bounce, but the centurion rush bypasses that for some odd reason.
nova frank is perfect for getting easy lv4+ frank
Actually, Nova/Frank will always get Frank to lvl5 off one starting bar. The old lvl4 combo is obsolete.
Then play Wesker. Seeking others opinions are what they are, opinions. End of the day if you have Nova on point, who gives a flying you know what if he doesn’t benefit from Wesker. That’s what your 2nd slot can used for, a solid character who can give Nova what he needs. End of the day, if Nova goes down, and that second character goes down, there is no one in this game right now who is better than Wesker with level 3 X-Factor. No one.
Hello All,
I’m kinda new to the SRK forums, but I thought this would be the best place to ask this question. I’m trying to run a Nova/Frank team and I’m looking for a good anchor that can benefit both. I want to use Nova and Frank specifically as the middle just because Nova can help level up Frank really well. I’m looking for any recommendations, but here’s one thing. I can’t play Doom for the life of me. His wave dashing diagonal combos keep throwing me off and I can’t do it correctly, and this is coming from a guy that uses an arcade stick. Please help!
I randomly quoted one of your Nova/Spencer posts just to ask: besides Spencer’s Slant Shot not scaling combos (which is indeed big), is there anything else that makes the pairing so great to you?
Sounds like a good horizontal projectile assist/anchor can help those two characters out. Sentinel, Taskmaster, Strange, and Hawkeye are just some characters with the assists that are needed for Nova/Frank to get in. They can also play anchor adequately.
I have the same problem as you and can’t really get the timing down for Doom’s regular BnB (I usually hit cr. 
too early after the air ), but the other characters are pretty good. Taskmaster’s arrows are a little better than Hawkeye’s at pinning your opponent down, and Sentinel Drones is an amazing assist as well.
FlyingVe has a really neat trick after killing a character or a snapback. You can call Spencer’s assist as they’re coming in and have Nova do a cr. , and it will cross them up.
Other than that, I found that you can sometimes catch people with Slant shot when they try to jump over Gravimetric :h: and Javelins.
Yes there is the damage. (Nova Spencer does 1 mill), but also the slant shot lets you combo into the crumple very easily which opens up all kinds of options. Plus, it is good for snap mixups and general AA and resets. Plus, both characters want the same sort of assist, so on my squad, when Nova goes down, I’m left with Spencer Sent, which is also a very powerful combination.
For Nova / Wesker, one thing I like to do is just to Gunshot - DP+M, instead of the 6H, whenever you’re using the 6H as a relaunch.
It’s helpful because I don’t have to keep track of whether I’ve used up my ground bounce in the combo. It does more damage than just 6H as well.
Yeah, but your using an assist to do something Nova can do anyways, which is really a waste of an assist in most situations.
i’m currently running Nova (pulse)/Doom (plasma beam)/Wesker (gunshot). Doom’s beam is just really useful and Nova’s dash is fast enough to hit confirm with it. Wesker’s gun sets up unblockables and y’know…he’s got lvl4 xfc. plus, centurion rushL xx Supernova DHC’s easily into Sphere Flame. Nova can easily take people to the corner too, which is where i think all 3 characters are at their best in terms of resets and mixups.
i also sometimes use Nova (pulse)/Skrull (orbital grudge)/Doom (beam or rocks), although i sometimes switch out Nova for Dorm (black hole).
thoughts?
I’m running Wesker/Nova/Hawkeye
I use nova’s cent rush assist for wesker to extend combos and as a mix up (call nova and tele to cross up and an unblockable set up too), works very well. Really tricky to block and it’s really easy to set up in the corner against incoming characters.
Hawkeye helps nova get in quite easily with his crazy box dash
Nova ( c rush)/ hawkeye/ Strider (Vajra). Nova and Hawkeye can both self otg which is huge with Vajra , Nova lets hawkeye have an unblockable with his long slide, while Hawkeye helps Nova get in. Strider is anchor obv, and can use both assist if they’re both still available for mixups. Kinda meter hungry team though
Ok So I finally have my Thor team figured out now I am working on my nova team. I have Three I have been trying out online and they all have different degrees of success. The one I am doing best with is Thor(Smash)/Nova(Centurion)/Doom(missiles) after that its Nemesis(launcher)/Nova(Centurion)/Dormammu(Dark Hole) The one I am doing worst with is Hawkeye(Greyhound)/Nova(Shield)/Strange(Daggers)/(Eye) I am probably doing worst with Team 3 because my strange is only passable. I am also working on a Skrull/Nova team their synergy is nuts just cannot find a closer for the team.
Just a quick one on some Nova/Doom synergy. If you call Doom beam assist and immediately throw a javelin (like plink timing), you can confirm a combo in a bunch of ways. From the closer “full screen” (before the camera zooms out) you can do square dash C in to Ground B, C launch, you can wavedash in, or you can do do H human rocket for the wall bounce.
At full full screen you can still wavedash and H human rocket, but the squaredash is out. Obviously if they block the beam you still get good pressure too. This setup uses your ground bounce early but you can still get 500K for one meter with super simple combos, more if you have the H loop/human rocket loop down. Seems pretty good to me.
