That’s too bad Part of me hoped I could sneak Vergil into my team. Oh wells. Trish all the way.
Trish was the highest execution character I have tackled, so you can see how X-23 is totally kicking my butt right now. Hopefully Maxmillian can assist me.
Anyway, I will focus on her stuff until Ultimate drops and then learn a the third. I will just throw in Akuma for now and hope that I will be able to tackle Dante in Ultimate.
I’m thinking about running Trish/ Ghost Rider/ Hawkeye (or Nova) when UMvC3 drops. I want to stick with Trish since she was my favorite and best character in Vanilla. This team is basically a keep away team, but will probably suffer to teleport teams. Trish can benefit greatly from Ghost Rider’s OTG assist and it absorbs projectiles well too. Hawkeye’s assist can help cover the screen for both Trish and Ghost Rider. The team should DHC well, but I’m not sure how Hawkeye will do as an anchor.
i’m more than positive Trish/Vergil can work. But the thing about these 2 is that they’re both meter whores. So if you were to run X-23/Trish/Vergil, you really have to figure out who you’ll waste meter on the most (seeing all 3 need a good amount of meter for something.)
But specifically Trish/Vergil, you’ll either have one assisting the other more while the other wastes meter for combo ender super or knockdown setups for either the other incoming character or for themselves.
I also see Nova’s mini aegis reflector assist helping Trish in the keepaway/zone department.
I can see Vergil being a good anchor character, but I don’t see any of his assists being too good for Trish unless you disregard an OTG assist for a good assist character.
EDIT: Upon seeing Max’s Marvel Madness Part 2 video, I can say that I gave Vergil’s sword slashing assist a lot less credit than I should have. It looks kind of Akuma-ish.
Maybe its just me but i dont see trish being THAT meter hungry the only thing you should be throwing out often that requires meter is the round harvest for the unblockable setups. But in ultimate that will probably change since it can otg. I find that Max voltage tends to miss a lot of the hits and other then a little extra damage and the little bit of breathing room you get its not all that great…hell i dont even like it as a punish…I think vergil and trish will work together especially if you can creat the unblockable with vergil which seems likely with a team of Trish Vergil Wesker…ROUND HARVEST tag teleport call assist and boom free damaging combo
I like playing her for Round Harvest unblockables because she really isn’t meter hungry in that case. Her BNB combos build 1.5+ meters and then she spends one. Then the unblockable follow-up combo usually builds 1 and spends none. Overall, you’re constantly going up in meter so you can spend it on other things.
I understand Vergil is very meter hungry, so that might make for a nice combination.
Same here but i just feel that ppl think she requires lots of meter because of harvest. It seems like ppl think you should be whoring the hell out of the move like its the safest thing which it isnt and requires setups to use perfectly…and the unblockable plus her air game and dive kick (and her style) are why i play trish…my only real beef with trish is that i hate ALL her assist
I’m talking from a “not using trish for round harvest setups”. I use them but I generally go in with trish considering she can deal with just about everything.
I feel that once you touch someone with trish it should be game over for that charecter simply because once you get that corner knockdown and throw RH the unblockable should kill that charecter and give you positive meter gain to do it again. Which to me is a better payoff then just “goin in” alone. Im curious tho, how are you using your meter with trish goin in?
I generally don’t most of the time since most people around here in MD play characters I can lame with Trish (or simply have trouble fighting her). If I do go in, I generally do my BnB and depending on what I want to do I’ll either:
If i’m tagging into Dante, i’ll waste the meter to DHC out so I can get the left/right mixup. With Ammy i’ll just tag in and kara wave dash over for the up/down mixup. Sometimes i’ll waste the meter for slowdown since I’m usually sitting on a lot of meter with my team.
My Trish on point pretty much does her thing to get a hit. Dante crystal assist extends her combos via otg and Ammy cold star allows her mixup pressure after a knockdown or when i’m in their face. There are times cold star has helped prevent a ToD after a air throw or big damage.
So whats your judgement call on tagging dante and ammy…basically when do you decided who’s better for the situation? Your team sounds pretty frustrating to the MD competition lol
Really depends on what characters i’m fighting. My team goes great in any order (and will be better now that Trish has a OTG so she can actually play anchor more if I do play this team) Most of the time I’ll just throw in Dante so he can benefit off low voltage assist along with a free (and easy) mixup since round harvest cover me going in. I rarely dhc or tag in ammy since i’d just rather have her ready for the anchor comeback. (and so Dante/Ammy can dhc glitch off each other or if trish gets killed off.)
Though in Ultimate i’m sure my team will be what it should be.
Whats your thoughts on low voltage i view it as being to slow to actually help anyone get in…how are you using it?
I use Low Voltage primarily for Dante. If Ammy and Trish are left, then it helps with the sword resets I go for. Otherwise it’s a “ok” assist. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t offer enough hit stun so your combos have to be tight. (and the fact it takes forever to come out.) It’s also sad it doesn’t go full screen as an assist either.
I’m sure it’s most of the reason I get fucked up a lot the past few times I’ve played since I have to time Voltage assist right with when I teleport. If it’s too early then I can’t lock them down (and usually a free throw/throw break). Though if it’s late, they’re stuck blocking but I don’t get a left/right air dash mixup (or a real lockdown mixup). Basically it’s a ghetto projectile/not beam assist. But it works. I’ll probably start using Peekaboo when I play Vergil but for Dante? I love it.
I can go find vids of me using it on the Xanadu stream. Just give me time to go through to see some where I actually use it.
Take your time man, your actually the first person other then i think rdk who i have heard/seen use low voltage as an assist an have some success with it

Around the 1:01:24 mark I start playing. At this point though I got really rusty when compared to Houshen and Unknown leveling up and I was more so trying out point characters within the team. there’s a bit of Dante/Voltage assist in there somewhere.
http://www.twitch.tv/xanadugames/b/280115671
This is like a month after the game dropped where I abused it the most from what i’m seeing so far. Most of the videos I had on stream disappeared or got deleted or something. 
EDIT: Found another around the 35ish mark. Another around the 1:16:02 mark and another around the 1:45:47 mark.
http://www.twitch.tv/xanadugames/b/288632690
guess I found most of the rest.
http://www.twitch.tv/xanadugames/b/284649302 - Around the 38 mark. Probably the most you’ll see from the streams.
http://www.twitch.tv/xanadugames/b/286185605 - Primarily why I like low voltage assist. If I do drop a Dante combo, i’ll just call Trish and teleport. Guess right. lol
http://www.twitch.tv/xanadugames/b/286676287 - More of the Above around the 15 mins mark. I fuck up combos, Trish takes forever to assist.
Thanks Im gonna defintely check these out, i just may have to steal some technology from you Shin Oni lol hope you dont mind
Nope go right ahead. I always have stuff to show visually rather than talk about it but i’m too lazy to set up stuff just to record/edit things.
Its a pretty nice setup with dante, i think it works best with teleporters after seeing you abuse lol…Question tho why dont you dhc to dante when ur doing ammy’s okami shuffle i feel like ur missing out on damage?
I’m not really sure lol. Back then off a hit I would generally DHC into Dante/Trish for more damage but I figure if i’m not struggling against the opponent with Ammy, i’ll just keep her in there. I have my fair share of brain farts.
Now if I ever have anyone left with Ammy depending on how it turns out i’ll DHC to whoever seeing they all can DHC into one another safely. That’s probably one thing I find great about Shuffle Dante/Trish.
