Thanks for the advice, I’ll post anything else I may come across.
Having trouble filling Nova / xxx / Vergil.
I feel like Nova doesn’t get much out of Rapid Slash other than some more hits in a combo so I really need a good 2nd solid assist. I’m using Doom now but kind of in a toss up over Missles or Plasma beam but I don’t really like Doom as a character much. He’s just there as an assist really. Any suggestions?
Doom or sent. Nova/Vergil/Sent sounds like a good team, honestly.
Dante would be pretty great. Weasel shot. Having Dante, gives you the ability to work on throw resets so you can raw tag Dante for unscaled whenever you need to reset. Also, Dante works very well with rapid slash. Much better than Doom. Dante with Nova assist gives you unblockables whenever your opponent blocks a stinger reverb to devil trigger. Nova/Dante have really great synergy and I’m surprised not as many people play it.
Also, like Icyie mentioned above.
Nova/Vergil/Sentinel.
Having Vergil second, obviously nets you 1 touch kills since you can always DHC into swords, and sword loop. Having Sentinel, gives you access to double hypers with Nova as well, so there’s always that as well as unscaled raw tags after airthrows. Vergil with Nova assist is ridiculous since you can just activate swords and call Nova for really dumb unblockables.
Two others which would work well are,
Frank and Taskmaster.
Frank and Vergil have incredible synergy just like Nova/Frank so you can always do that. Having access to Vergil as an anchor gives your team a million ways to level up Frank.
Taskmaster works well, and is one of Nova’s best assists to have. You can Cent Rush L or M + call Taskmaster and have an easy mixup game from midscreen or when a character is coming in. Vertical arrow DHC works awesome as well and Taskmaster Vergil is pretty great too. Look up Taekua. He eliminated myself, PRRog, and various others from EVO this year. Stupid cheap team.
Does anyone have an idea of how a Dante, Nova, Vergil team might work out if at all??Nova, Vergil and Dante are hands down my fave characters in the game but it just doesn’t seem like they’d make a great team(hence my main “Nova/Vergil/Doom” and 2ndary “Wolverine/Dante/Akuma” teams instead). If anyone has some good insight/advice for this and can possibly convince me they could work really well I’d love to hear it…otherwise I’ll just be sticking to the teams I’ve got now
Dante,Nova,Vergil??Curious as to how that would work if at all,been thinkin about pairing my fave 3 characters together somehow ONLY if they work well together
It’ll work fine. Play Dante second with Weasel Shot and anchor Vergil with Rapid Slash so you can use Cent Rushes while calling it.
Also, Vergil/Dante/Nova will work fine if you want to play Vergil on point and utilize Nova’s overhead assist.
Well what assist/combo ideas would u have in that case??Cuz how I play Nova now is either DHC into Vergil for loops,kill then rawtag back in or combo using Doom’s plasma beam from ForwardH(Nova Slam)…then St.M,CenturionM,CenturionH,Nova Force Super
That’s why I was thinking maybe Dante first to wreak havoc,possibly kill and build meter for both Nova and Vergil(mainly Vergil)…plus I’d still have my reset using Vergil’s rapid slash assist
You can really play it in so many different ways. Nova/Vergil/Dante will also work just because of that. Off of any throw even, you can kill with Sword Loops. That combo you mentioned can also work off of Rapid Slash. Nova’s worst spot in my opinion is second, because he can’t kill off of a throw and because he doesn’t have a level 3 or a way to loop supers. Dante is probably the best 2nd Character in the game with his fantastic DHC’s so, I’d play it in that order. But It’s all preference anyway.
Damn fa real??Didn’t know it could work off Rapid Slash,have to try that
But with what u just said I kina see ur point but I hate Dante as anchor tho,and Nova can still possibly kill off a throw depending on how much meter I have from Dante…DHC’ing into Sword Loops from Nova.Guess I gotta just try some shyt out in the lab,only thing I can think of with this team is how naked I’ll feel without much of an assist from anyone besides for extending combos
You’ll have weasel shot! Weasel shot is amazing for Nova and Vergil. Also, you can raw tag Dante for unscaled combos whenever you get an airthrow anyway.
Oh yeaaa that’s right,forgot about Dante’s immitation of Ammy’s Cold Star assist.LoL.It is prolly good for Nova and Vergil…great lockdown,enough time for a mixup and says “Get off me!” if I whiff a button
How does this rawtag into Dante for unscaled damage work tho,u mean off of a Nova throw??Sounds dirty…and really how good can Dante be in the anchor spot??I’ve heard a lot of people say he’s wack back there
Dante is a decent anchor. He can kill whole teams by himself since his incoming mixup is so strong. Xfactor+Devil trigger is pretty good. He’s at least much better than 80% of the cast.
Id been running this nova mag sent and much enjoying it. However, I find myself interested in anchor vergil. Obv he’s a much better anchor than sent, but do you guys think id be doing too much harm to my nova neutral to replace drones with rapid slash to be worth it?
How do you feel about Dante’s Crystal assist instead tho??Can pull off some nice things with Vergil due to it and it seems like it’d work well for Nova also as far as doing some damage and protecting him while fishing for that solid hit
Hey guys I’m new here but have been playing marvel for a while. I usually just roam the forums and steal useful tech but I figured I’d finally make an account. My current team is Nova(Centurion Rush)/ Trish(Low Voltage)/ Skrull(Orbital Grudge)
Great DHC chemistry all around especially when you have 3 bars. Low voltage helps Nova get it, Trish can set up an unblockable with Nova overhead and Skrull Standing L. Skrull XF 3 is still GDLK and I have made plenty of 3 on 1 comebacks with him. Tell me what you guys think!
They both can work and obviously Vergil is a better anchor. I’d recommend however, to play Nova/Vergil/Magneto if you’re going to play that team, just so that you have the option to DHC into swords so you can kill off of any hit, even a throw. Disruptor can help you get in and set up the instant overhead, while rapid slash helps extend combos, and gives you a nice pinning assist if you’re in the corner. Mags is still a top tier anchor.
Crystal can work, and obviously giving Vergil an OTG is amazing, but I’m not sure how it would work for Nova’s neutral game. It might work. You might have to play around with it a lot to see.
Pretty sweet team. I like it. All the DHC’s work well, and you’re able to reset into Trish’s super for unblockable resets. Pretty sick.
Vergil allows for ToD’s off of nearly anything. The only problem is that you’re essentially giving up Nova and Magneto’s super safe approach+mixups+resets+combo extensions with drones
Def agree about Mag anchor, and that order would certainly work well. I’m just looking to explore strictly xf3 Vergil. However, my Nova team just may not be the one to do so with, which I can accept no prob. BUT you did intrigue me with the DHC to swords killing off any hit thing… are you just referring to going into sword loops off Power of the Nova Force super? If so (or if not, for that matter), mind reminding me what that sequence is again? I know this isn’t the Vergil thread but,… eh, fuck it. lol If Im in the corner, do PotNF xx DHC Swords, what’s the sequence that allows for the TOD if you dont mind? Starts with 2 Helm Breakers into Lunar Phase, right? Forget the rest : /
Also, regardless of the order(though I do like your idea), does Nova have any decent confirms off Rapid Slash, assuming he can get into whatever range in time? I can’t seem to make anything happen off it, even if just a simple BNB. Thanks!
I’m currently in a similar dilemma. I use Hawkeye in pretty much all of my teams but I don’t know if I should get rid of Hawkeye for Vergil or Frank for Spencer. Either team composition would work its just a matter of who I want to get rid of because of my stubborn character loyalty to both of them D:
