Force of Three- The Nova Teambuilding Thread

I would run trish/hawkeye/nova or trish/nova/hawkeye.

Trish is a great point character and once she gets a hit her combos can pretty much carry to the corner where you can swet up round harvest unblockables guaranteed to kill for one bar. hard knockdown, round harvest, hard tag hawkeye, call nova overhead, slide with hawkeye.

Trish’s keepaway and rushdown are strong. She has one of the fastest tri dashes in the game and hawkeye greyhound assist is great for setting up instant overheads, lows, crossovers. Nova can also set up unblockable like do peekaboo, call nova, slide with trish. They want to block! But they can’t block unblockables lol.

I play trish/dante/nova and I love it.

I’m currently using Nova/Strange/Doom, however my Doom is shit, and until I can work on that, I need a third member with a strong assist. In trying to avoid Sentinel, but whatever.

The reason I use Doom is for the Hidden Missile assist. Helps me get in and saves me from occasional fuckups.

Can anybody recommend a good character/assist to replace Doom with, preferably one who isn’t too intensive with their combo execution.

Hey guys, I was wondering if this team would work:

Thor/Nova/Iron Fist

I find all three to be very fun to play on their own, but as a team I’m worried it might not work. Thoughts?

Iron fist anchor is terribad.

Ironfist/thor/nova or Ironfist/nova/thor is way better.

But then Thor is terribad. In my honest opinion, this team needs some rethinking

Thor is not so terribad now, with Nova assist like centurion rush, because his blockstring his so slow he can have a high/low unblockable easy to set. He can plink dash easy in the air and put the hurt from some air command grab.

In x-factor he become real fast and quick ToD as Nova become superfast but ToD eat a bit of XF time.

opposed to IF where a flyer can Superjump and avoid him all day

Thanks for the input guys. I’ll see how a Nova/IF/Thor team works out. What assists should I be using? Centurion rush/Rising Fang/Mighty Smash?

Again i’m not a big fan of IF not on point but, it’s as you see fit.
For the assist, i’d say centurion art/rising fang and mighty spark (IF and nova both profit from a projectile to get in and really dont need an OTG assist, seiing as they bot got fairly good OTG that they can combo of off).

Do you think nova spencer and hawkeye work well together, or vergil at point and spencer second and hawkeye last. but i still can not decide of i want to but spencer at point because i can dhc to vergil to a safe super

Do you guys think this is a good Nova team or do I need to move some pieces around?

  1. Nova(Centurion Rush)
  2. Vergil(Rapid Slash)
  3. Based Doom(Plasma Beam)

I was also considering using Hidden missiles instead of plasma beam.

I have more coming soon. After the holidays.

I have a video for this team coming soon after the holidays too.

thinking of running nova/vergil/hawk any suggestions for assists or tech? just picking up nova now

rapid slash assist with vergil.

Fly/unfly loop relaunch, after the hardknockdown You do centurion rush L the assist juggle enough time so you can chain centurion rush M for the groundbounce, centurion rush H for the relaunch then jH into supernova then DHC or supernova after centurion rush H to DHC i dont know what maximise the damages.

Hawk is a fast projectile assist that will cover Nova’s approach.

what do you guys think about Nova and Zero or Nova and Deadpool?

There isn’t really any synergy between nova and zero or nova and dead pool except the katana-Rama assist and tbh if you want a otg assist you should pick Wesker who is better character than dead pool anyway.

I’ve been fiddling around with nova and sent but the problem I’ve been having is that after calling the assist your only option is box dash in H then low M and then forward H. Those are really your only tools to check if they are blocking. Don’t get me wrong it’s a pretty good mix up that you get for free from drones but is there more? Because after someone blocks that from me I’m dumbfounded on what I should of done differently to open then up and what I should after the string.

Wellllll
Nova and Deadpool. A skilled player might want dat quick work assit for dem unblocable put with centurion art M.
Zero can also setup them un-blockables with dat centurion art M assist.
But as combo extender go. Centurion Rush M can always be placed for the forced groundBOUANCE. same as Katanarama for the OTEEGEE.
Well this dadgum game sure turned me into one french redneck i tell’s ya.

As for your probleme with nova mix-up option.

You can “bait” with energy javelin. you got the centurion arts (one hit low, the other high, both can be comboed from). You got dem grab that nova can convert for MASSIVE DAMAGE ! you got the dirty trick of jumping above and dashing right back. you got cM/cH into fly.

and that is all i can think about but they are options ^^

Alright thnx for the advice I look forward into throwing this stuff in the mix. Low M and low H cancel into fly? Didn’t know that, hm…

Fly count as a special so every normals can be cancelled into it for character that have it (not all command normals tho).

I was doing alright with Nova Spencer Sent at a local tourney in South Jersey. I got eliminated by Josh Wong but I was able to land a few crumple combos into Spencer raw tag. Drones help my team so much, but I think I might replace Sentinel for Magneto since his beam assist is great and Magneto makes an amazing anchor.
