Frank West Level Up Strategies

Classic Fighting Games Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3
1

Its about time we compiled all these strategies into one area. Ideally I would like to list each of the DHC options, THC options, hard tag setups, and assists that help Frank get at least one more picture throughout the thread. I will attempt to make a post for each one, and then ideally we can add in videos for each method along the way.

Frank’s Friends is a series about Frank’s individual synergy with another character. These are being completed and inserted into the post as links on the character’s name. Hopefully this can help answer some of the more basic questions with these pairings.

Before going into this list there are a few notes to make:
Hyper Combos:

  • WST is Whiffing Survival Techniques in order to DHC in and take a picture
  • BLS is Blue Light Special. This can only be done mid screen and the wall bounce must be intact. It also must be done at a height of around Frank’s shoulders at the start (airborne opponent). The usual follow up is S to jS and a picture.
  • FFC is Funny Face Crusher. This is in situations in which Frank is set up for a free FFC through a hard tag or a DHC and can therefore combo off the throw into a picture. Without an assist at level 3 Frank can generally do a minimum of 30 hits. Frank can also set up a DHC using FFC only in certain situations in order to get a follow up or a picture.

Hard Tags:

  • HTH is Hard Tag Hit in which the hard tag will hit. This generally requires very low HSD to continue the combo. Depending on height Frank is able to get a launcher or crouching or standing L.
  • HTW is Hard Tag Whiff in which the hard tag will whiff, but allow for a picture.
  • HTT is Hard Tag Whiff to THC. The timing on these are tight, but possible.

Special States:

  • CSL is Capture State Launch. This is activated by putting the opponent into a capture state and then performing a DHC. The opponent will spiral into the air and land in a hard knockdown state. Not only are the capture states listed on the move lists usable, but it seems that cinematic supers are as well (Survival Techniques for one).
  • DPS is Double Picture Super. These are done specifically as a DHC from Frank’s Survival Techniques into a raw tag to Frank, allowing for another picture.
  • BFU is Blue Light Special Follow Up. This is where Frank does his Blue Light Special Hyper and DHCs to the other character and they can set up a hard tag follow up.
  • TAG is Team Aerial Combo Glitch. This lets you do two TACs (whiffing one) to mess up people’s counters on it

Position Based:

  • MSO is mid screen only
  • CO is corner only
  • SS is side switch while preserving the wall bounce. This allows you to set up a super move that you can DHC into BLS from a corner
  • CR is crumple or dizzy. This allows you to get someone out of a corner or hard tag in

Before going into this list there are a few notes to make:

Assist Types:

  • EGB is Extra Ground Bounce. This allows Frank to use his Tools of Survival H more than once for a relaunch. If not timed properly and used as a first ground bounce it may still negate a second ground bounce.

  • FGB is Forced Ground Bounce. These may be used after Frank’s own ground bounce for a second bounce.

  • WBA is Wall Bouncing Assist. These are great for extending combos, but need to be watched due to Frank’s own wall bounce moves such as ToSM and BLS

  • PFU is Picture Follow Up. These are generally able to have a picture as an OTG into the assist and still have a follow up. These sometimes include launcher, roundhouse kick, knee drop, Tools of Survival M or even another picture.

  • OTG is Off The Ground. These assists allow Frank to pick his enemies up off the ground to continue his combos.

  • ZTE is Zombie Toss Extension. Frank’s jump loops (1/2) and Tools L loops (4/5) are some of his most damaging combos and are an effective way to build number of hits and meter. These assists can allow Frank to link (on a standing opponent) for a sH into one of the above mentioned combos. These are extremely useful, damaging, and great at building levels. The timing may vary between a cM, the beginning of the sH, or the end of the sH depending on Frank’s level and the assist.

  • APP is Anti-Punish Picture. These assists keep the opponent from performing a neutral tech and punishing your snapshot. This is only listed if this is the only use for the assist, otherwise it will be implied.

  • NOT is Nothing.

Throw Pickups
Frank has difficulty picking up off his throws without assistance. These will notate if Frank can pick up off his throws. Frank’s aerial and grounded back throws have about the same amount of time that you can call an assist and act and are his slowest. Frank’s grounded forward throw is next, and the aerial front throw is the fastest. Frank can dash back while calling an assist off his forward throws and still have time to OTG the opponent which may be needed for spacing. These will be listed by the slowest throw that Frank can pick up off of and notated as such. Also FFC has about the same amount of recovery time on it as a forward throw.

  • ATP: All throws pickup
  • FTP: Front throws pickup
  • AFT: Aerial front throw only

Team Hyper Combos (THC):
All THCs will be assumed to be only the character listed and Frank performing the combo. If anything special other than a snapshot at the end is available or required it will be noted after THC. If the THC is of no use it will not be listed.

Misc things:

Frank TAC Infinite:

TACs can be done by all characters and can generally gain Frank 19 hits onto the combo. (TAC hits) MHxxQCF+L MxxQCF+L MxxQCF+L S (land) QCF+S.

The magic number for any combo with a one hit assist is 23 hits and then the camera and assist. This allows Frank to get 23 then camera(24)+assist(25)+camera(26) totaling 50 EXP.

Slow moving projectile assists can also be used to support the shopping cart setups as shown her at 2:47:

Frank can also use his own Hammer Throw zombies to do this too with a bit of help, seen here:

Remember, this list will likely never be 100% complete, but its hopefully there to assist in team making and combo making.

Phoenix Wright Assist Stuff

THC- Nothing I can figure out.

Paperwork- Nothing I’ve got.
Press the Witness- extends after a Picture, I THINK you can get a second one.
Get 'em, Missile!- OTGs

Paperwork Storm- Again, nothing.
Break the Witness- extends after picture, and you can get another shot after the wall bounce, plus it has around 10 hits. If the combo isn’t too scaled, you can land a ST. Even if you’ve already used a wallbounce, I think you can land another snapshot.
Get 'em Missile- Stays the same in Turnabout Mode

Yeah, also any ground bounce that is also a hard knockdown, if Frank won’t hit them with his raw tag, he can take a pic. Depending on the ground bounce and how low it’s performed, he’ll probably be able to catch them with a specific assist and get another pic (Haggar has both the knockdown move and assist, and Lunar Phase has been done to death to prove the point).

6

How does one achieve an extra ground bounce?

7

Depends primarily on the assist. Some assists are forced ground bounces and can therefore be used second (Nova Centurion Rush for example) while the others its best to do so with a meaty assist in order to negate the “bounce”. Frank’s ToSH acts as it OTGs and then bounces so if something can hit in between those two it adds to your bounces.

You will notice that I used three ground bounces in this combo. Firebrand’s charge and Iron Man’s Repusor Blast have meaty hitboxes which allow them to perform that hit I was talking about. Anything above with a (EGB) on it should work similarly, just takes some testing with your own team.

8

Why wouldn’t you just use a camera or roundhouse kick then?

9

Less damage, longer recovery time.

Snapshot does 10,000
Roundhouse Kick does 70,000
Tools H does 80,000, 100,000, or 150,000 for 1/2, 3, 4/5 respectively

Frame data:
Snapshot has 31 frames of recovery
Roundhouse kick has 32 frames of recovery
Jumping Tools H has a whopping 1 frame (I think) as it lands and instantly cancels.

10

Yeah, it does a crapton of damage extra to the combo, and ground-bounce cancelling the j.QCF+H works with about 50% of the assists in the game, relaunching off of camera maybe has 1/10th that amount. Midscreen relaunches are also way easy with a lot of assists, I find that my ground bounce either is used to confirm or doesn’t get used until way late in the combo. And you get to pick really fun assists for Frank because you can ground bounce cancel with so much stuff. Jam Session and Drones come to mind. I run Rapid slash and Shield Slash, though Trish Lightning, Cold Star, and Orbital Grudge are some other assists I like for Frank extension and pressure.

Thought some people might find this interesting. Anything you think I could improve in this setup? (aside from using nova’s assist for the groundbounce but I didn’t use it on purpose as everytime I’ll have to resort to this setup to level Frank up, nova is dead.)

12

Depending on your other assist, most likely Nova’s overhead, you can always picture, assist, knockdown, and another picture, instead of the booze, but that setup is pretty sick already. I like it.

13

yeah I know that but it’s like I said, every match where I have to resort to this setup means nova is dead already, so it’s not an option for me.

14

What is the follow up after the BLS?

15

Launcher, j.H, kneedrop xx bottoms up, snapshot. You have to cancel kneedrop’s recovery into bottoms up and input snapshot JUST as frank’s camera sparkles or the opponent will recover before you level up.

You can dash back after BLS to keep the opponent in the corner but against specific characters (Wesker, Haggar and Hulk though there might be more), everytime I specifically dash left, Frank will dash right instead, probably some bug because of the opponent’s position? I have no idea but that’s why I didn’t do it in the video.

16

Snapbacks. I find my Frank teams are usually put pretty out of whack if my order is prematurely swapped (I actually ran that team for a while, but my Nova is shitty), and Nova loves cold star, people might be itching for an Ammy switch-in on occasion.

I wish I thought of that one, though. I usually just TAC’ed like a scrub, heh.

17

Wait, are you telling me that Frank can use Bottoms up mid combo?

18

Well ok, if people do snap my ammy in, then I’ll be able to use nova’s assist :stuck_out_tongue: but the thing is, ammy is by far the weakest link on my team so people are a lot more worried about killing my nova so they get rid of one problem right away. Sure, one combo with level 1 frank will grant me level 5 anyway because of THC with Shuffle but still, rare thing. People will usually just finish my nova.

Yeah, it’s in the video I posted a couple of posts above yours. Vale of Mist’s slow allows Frank to bottoms-up after kneedrop’s hard knockdown and still take a picture.

19

I love you. Whoop whoop, Jill can now get Frank to 5 instead of 4.
EDIT: Damn, counted by chickens before they hatched, I thought you meant assistless =(. Good stuff anyway.

20

Check my edit, it’s only because of VoM’s slow that you can bottoms-up and still have time to snapshot. Not sure about how jill can do it.
