Hi I have NEVER touched Nova but because of the wealth of quality information I can find on youtube and in this subforum specifically, I’m enticed about picking him up.
I want to run Nova (???)/MODOK (Barrier)/Doom (Beam I guess?)
Has anyone had any experiences using Nova and MODOK? I’m looking for a character that can help me combo jamming bomb, as well as a character that will easily bring my opponents to the corner. If Nova can do these things, I am looking forward to investing time into him
Nova has wall carry like no one else in the game, he can go from his back to one corner to pretty much pinning you in the other in one combo, as for comboing jamming bomb, not sure how slow it is, but you can probably get it using Nova’s ground bounce assist.
I have a team I’m working on is Capt—Task—Nova. But, I have the projectile assist for Nova so, capt can do a relaunch in the corner and I have Task assist with Arrows going across help Capt get in. Should I switch any of this character to put in Frank West or keep the team?
I’m trying to experiment with that combo since Modok was one of my Vanilla mains. With Nova’s Centurion Rush assist that ignores the groundbounce limit, you might be able to get something out of that with Modok.

This is a combo I made up but haven’t tested yet today lol, but it might work.
Centurion Rush could bounce your opponent a second time and it might be enough time for Jamming Bomb.
Nemesis/Rocket launcher
Hsien- Ko/Sempu Bu
Nova/Centurion Rush
i first had had zero on point but Nemesis Lives longer.
I’m looking at Nova/Hawkeye/x, where x = Dr.Strange, Dr.Doom, Sentinel, Wesker, Ironfist, Magneto, Ironman, and Firebrand. I haven’t spent much time working on synergy, just covering Nova’s approach and learning how to play him and Hawkeye. I still need to try out the majority of the cast, but these are the characters I’m currently interested in. I understand that Spencer is Nova’s BFF, and I think I’ll get to him eventually, but I’d rather not play someone else’s team. I have to learn this game and find my own style.
I have such an Identity Crisis lol. So Im back to Nova Ammy Spencer.
IDK, I might sub Spence for someone though.
I know it’s a long shot, but does anybody run Nova with Shuma-Gorath…and how has that worked out?
Also, thoughts on Nova with Dorm, Nemmy, or Taskmaster?
…I just picked up Ultimate, so I haven’t had time to really experiment yet. That, and my TE Fightstick has yet to be delivered…I simply cannot get a grasp on using the PS3 pad since I’m already so used to a stick.
I’ve got Nova, Spencer, Taskmaster or Nova, Hawkeye, Spencer running.
In terms of how Nova and Taskmaster work, it’s good if you want to zone. Call Tasky, Gravimetric Pulse, Energy Javelin x 2, repeat for zoning (mixing it up with moving around and whatnot).
Taskmaster also helps you get in; call Tasky, then you can:
EDIT: Forgot to mention, pretty much any combo into Nova’s supernova super can DHC into Tasky’s Up Arrows.
Just some input, hope this helps. 
So far I been running Ammy(coldstar), Nova(pulse), Sent(drones)
its been working for me so far the assists have something for everyone like both coldstar and drones help lockdown and zone so nova can get in
same goes for drones with ammy so she can rush down, and coldstar for Sent to cover him as he goes to start a combo without fear of someone hitting him first.
Im thinking I might change out Nova’s assist to Centurion Rush M for the nice overhead but not to sure
My question is should I take out Sent for Trish? I know most of her combos like the back of my hand but Sent’s assist is really good for both Nova and Ammy that it will be hard to give up. Maybe I should just learn his combos more and get the feel for him
Right now I’m using Cap/Nova/Spencer, with assists undecided, but I also kind of want to use Hawkeye, because he’s really strong and can help all three get in. Im just not sure who to drop and what assists to use. Suggestions?
Swap Cap for Hawkeye. That’s a very solid team and what ComboFiend uses.
My recommended order would be Nova/Spencer/Hawkeye.
The only problem is that Cap is probably my strongest character, I’ve only been playing Fighting games for a year, and I only started playing marvel 4-5 months ago so I’m still learning to play properly, so I’m trying to balance a strong team with characters that will help me learn the aspects of the competitive game not based around specific characters. But yeah, I’ll definitely give that team a try, thanks for the help.
Well, if Cap is your best character, then my reccomendation would be building a team around Cap instead of Nova.
I don’t really play Cap, so I can’t help you much there…
I’m trying to build a team with Trish Nova and Hawkeye. Can someone help me with trying to maximize the potential of this team? I’m been using a team of Nova and Hawkeye for a little while, while rotating the third character to see who I want to use and now recently trying out some Trish.
The assists I’ve been using is Trish’s Peekaboo, Nova’s Centurion Rush, and Hawkeye’s Triple Arrows.
Some potential lineups
Nova / Trish / Hawkeye
I think Trish and Hawkeye’s assist helps Nova get in and start up some combos, but I’m not too sure how to have Nova DHC properly into Trish. I’m usually ending Nova combos with j.H into Super Nova and that ends up being too high for any of the Trish’s super to hit. I think Hawkeye can carry himself pretty well as an anchor.
Trish / Nova / Hawkeye or Trish / Hawkeye / Nova
Looks like a easier to DHC here from Trish’s Air Maximum Voltage into Super Nova or Gimlet/Super Scatter Shot.
Nova / Hawkeye / Trish
The Nova / Hawkeye line up is what I’ve been mostly using while searching for a third character. I like the Super Nova DHC into Gimlet or Super Scatter Shot here. I’m not too sure about having Trish as the anchor though.
Hawkeye / Trish / Nova or Hawkeye / Nova / Trish
I haven’t try these ones yet.
Can someone help by providing some input? Thanks in Advance.
I’ve been using the aegis assist on my Wesker/Spencer/Nova team, and mostly just to help Wesker out, I haven’t really tried or thought of a way to work it into Spencer’s game, what are some ways that you’re doing it?
Hey I’m playing a team of Nova/Wesker/Strider. Basically Nova can convert a hit from strider’s vajra assist anywhere on the screen since he has soo many otg capabilities even a full screen one (centurion rush). even if they block vajra assist it gives him a chance to do a high low mixup since the blockstun on vajra is pretty good. What do you guys think. Is Nova and Strider a good combo?
Hey all. I’ve been using Nova/Iron Fist/Super-Skrull since day 1, and I’m sticking with it. But I’m having trouble finding ways to use my other two characters’ assists for Nova. I’m fairly set on Tenderizer for Super-Skrull since it works well with Iron Fist, and IF will probably use Rising Fang. But how can I integrate these into my Nova play?
Just curious, why Tenderizer for IF? IF doesn’t have mixup, so I don’t see why locking them down with it is necessary.
Skrull’s a great anchor, but I don’t see how he can help with getting in for the other two. Orbital Grudge as a poor-man’s Tatsu maybe? Not sure if it uses up the wallbounce though.
Trish is surprisingly good as anchor as she can run away and chip until you get an opening to burn x-factor (if you have it). I would go Nova/Hawkeye/Trish; I think Trish is the best at finding an opening out of the three, plus there is good DHC synergy there.
