Having a lot of fun with Vergil/Trish/Nova. Trish is actually anchor, but I use this team order and raw tag in Nova off of the Round Harvest DHC and hit them with the Javelin or Javelin reset from there. Nova is a lot of fun to use. Such a home run hitter. Rapid Slash is nice for concealing that overhead, too.
Centurion Rush assist hits over-head, correct? I’m trying to create an unblockable using Frank’s slide and Nova’s assist but I can’t figure out how to set the dummy in training mode. If I put him in all block, he blocks both high and low. How can I practice this unblockable?
unblocables are human-only.
There actually, always a 1 frame window to switch blocking stance and block both.
Human cant react fast enough for that 1 frame window.
IA that block can.
You practice it by setting no block and have franck and nova hit at the same time (if you feel they hit at the same time it’s your bingo timing).
Or, record yourself doing the unblockable… and then try to block it yourself.
I’ve been having fun with Nova and Strider lately. Getting big manly combos off the Strider assist is rewarding, and it’s pretty fun to be tossing tracking javelins and tracking ninjas at people.
Stay out of my skies :smokin:
There’s a definite lack of Nova -> Strider DHC synergy though, so I’m trying to think of who to sandwich between them.
Doom, as always. He can too get big damaging combo from strider assist (and pretty much fullscreen) + air Supernova DHC into Sphere flame perfectly.
and Nova can profit a lot from beam assist (or even, hidden missile in combo to link 2 supernova).
I really should post on these boards more… no idea why I don’t seem to.
Anyways, I’m running Nova(b)-Spidey(b)-Hawkeye(a)/Taskmaster(a) atm. Went back to my projected Day 1 team because I needed a better space controlling assist, and Dormammu wasn’t cutting it. I LOVE THIS TEAM. It allows me to take full advantage of the 2 point, 1 assist team build, where I can interchange Spider-man or Nova being on point to deal with different MU’s. All of the DHC’s go into each other and vice-versa (Maximum Spider->Super Nova/Human Rocket, Crawler Assault->Super Nova/Gravimetric Blaster, Super Nova/Gravimetric Blaster-> Maximum Spider, Super Nova->Crawler Assault when canceled early, Human Rocket->Maximum Spider). Both of the Centurion Rush 
and Web Swing :h: provide very nice mid-screen coverage and very easy pick-ups. Web Swing also gives me a 50/50 meterless combo ending that is similar to that of the Nova/Spencer synergy that FlyingVe and Danke brought forth, without all the crumpling and stuff (I’m actually going to look for a way to improve mine by incorporating :h: Gravimetric Pulse somewhere to cut off their teching options ;O). And, of course, Centurion Rush can extend combos for Spider-man, as well as allow him to combo into Crawler Assault mid-screen (seen here and here).
Not to mention I’m confident enough to reverse OCV with all 3. ;O
I’m currently using Nova/Spencer/Taskmaster as my main team but I’m getting a bit bored with Task, would a Nova/Spencer/Frank or Nova/Frank/Spencer team work?
if you start with 1 meter hitconfirm with nova.
Basic Bnb build 1 meter, you Supernova DHC into franck tool of survival, call nova assist, take picture, forced groundbounce, take another picture.
Voila Franck lvl 5.
I’m really liking how Nova DHCs into Taskmaster up arrows. About 908-911K with 2 bars. Not too shabby.
Also Horizontal Arrows are way good for Nova. Even if they catch characters in the air, Nova has all day to hit confirm into a combo.
I’m using Nova(nova strike)/Task(forward arrows)/Strider(vajra)
I like how nova has good options to get into close ranga with the help of task’s arrows and using cr.L sjc. dash down j.Lcan mix up the opponet very well to get into a bnb. then when they are in knockdown you can call strider for vajra with f.H to hit them in juggle state then go straight to the nova force special. you can sj to a throw, or go to j. MMH fly MH unfly j.H to Special which can kill any character off if successful.
and in knowdown state, you can make a mix up on the characters mix up with either air dash back-forward or dash cancel forward with task’s arrows to keep them in pressure. And you should already know tasks zoning fullscreen is pretty dope with vajra assist as it hellp keep the pressure game going
also, if you got the timing right for the DHC.
The up arrow bring the opponent down (hardknockdown) and you can call nova assist, OTG with Arrows, use sting master thanks to the forced groundbounce. OTG with arrow + arrow super. or directly TK super.
you’ll get with 2 bar around 950k+ and 1100k if you want to spend a 3rd bar.
Does anyone run viper and nova together on a team? If so, who do you run on point first?
So Nova is my favorite character, and I’ve been trying to get a good team going with him for awhile but I need some help. I’ve been running Nova/Ryu/Hawkeye for awhile, because i like the DHC with Ryu and I like Hawkeye’s assist for getting in. I would like to replace Ryu with someone else, but my biggest worry is DHC potential, since I finish my Nova combo in the air with his Solar hyper thing lol. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you =]
I would try trish, doom, mag, dorm, or pretty much anyone that has a hyper that will reach/go in the air since u finish ur combos there.
Tell us who you like to play because the list of character who can DHC from it is long.
You got from the top of my head. Task, hulk, doom, dorm, Trish, Strange, Rocket Racoon (you use the spring while DHC ing before the last 10 hit of supernova, Hardknock down on the spring and RR can add some stuff to combo from it), Dante (devil trigger, combo from the Hardnockdown), Vergil (spiral sword combo), Iron Fist, Storm, Skrull, Spiderman, Zero, Hsien ko, Haggar, Amaterasu, Phoenix Wright (in court mode), Arthur (gold armor, bottle relaunch, bottle again into bracelet.).
And that is all i can think of.
EDIT : Thought of wesker too.
Counter super, OTG, with nova assist forced groundbounce, then wallbounce move into launcher into H super (not sure if that work).
That’s funny, I was running Nova (B)/ Frank (A)/ Viper (B) and it was going great but I’m a big fan of switching Frank out for Chris as well (with Gun Assist). I’ve always favored Nova on point rather than Viper for my team personally but that’s just because I want to hit Lvl 4 Frank on my first combo (and Viper does give you a ground bounce every combo. EVERY. COMBO). Viper got a ground bounce from Nova too but I felt like Nova could do more damage with less meter than Viper so he makes the better battery at the end, and even in my Chris build I felt like Viper needed to be the anchor because her OTG was so essential for the bigger damage combos the two dudes can put out.
I have my own question though, would anyone here keep Frank and his cart in a Nova/Viper team over Chris? It’s basically Miami Vice over NYPD Blue haha.
Been playing Trish-LowVoltage/Nova-CenturianRush/Doom-CubanMissiles all this time and I do “enjoy” my team.
On a basic level, it works fine: Always an abundance of meter, the DHCs flow alright and the assists support in any order. Trish or Nova can kill Wesker in the corner with 2 (3 for Nova. Still working) meters, which is not the most impressive thing but getting opponents into the corner is not even a luxury with them. I’m looking to explore some more high-brow set ups to opening up folks (again) outside of the basic relatively safe assisted resets~
I dont post much anymore but my team since umvc3 came out has been working sooo good i love it. Nova(b)/Spencer(b)/Sentinel(a). Now i have a great rush down team haha
edit: just saw that this team is also FlyingVe’s team… i guess im using his team lol eventhough i changed only one character since vanilla. Anyways, its an awesome team.
My team is X-23/Nova/Hawkeye.
I feel like X-23 benefits from Nova a lot (Nova provides X-23 with an OTG for relaunch and create unblockables), however, when I DHC to Nova, I feel like Nova doesn’t get anything from X-23. Both still can create unblockables, but does anyone have any ideas on what else X-23 can provide? I tried using her ankle slice for an OTG relaunch, but Nova can already do that himself with his forward H (following up with another OTG relaunch will just cause the opponent to jump out when I try hitting them down with an air S. I’m guessing hit stun and his slow air S causes this?). Thanks.
