Group Photo Ops- The Frank West Team Building Thread

anyone know of a good way to level frank up better with hawkeye’s greyhound assist? I was using poison tip to at least add poison but now that I have changed assists Im having a hard time using hawk in combos

Greyhound is triple arrow right? It’s not really good in combos, it’s mostly used to help the point character get in, which is why I use it

Do Trish and Frank West have any synergy? With trish on point?

I know With frank on point you can DHC into Round Harvest for levels but what about if Trish leads off…
Im thinking of trying Trish/Frank/Felicia

Trish’s projectile Super also lasts long enough that you can do a THC combo with Frank on point and still get your snapshot. For trish on point maybe using Felicia to OTG at the end of a combo + round harvest and hard tag in Frank? dunno if that’d work, but I imagine there’s some way to get Frank to get a photo with Trish on point.

Thats what I figured, I tried a bunch of different stuff with no success. I was hoping to find something because if my point(Haggar) goes down without Frank getting leveled at all, I can only use my safe combo with frank online which puts me just under enough for level 3. I guess I have to just get more comfortable with harder combos, which is really for the best. Maybe I can work the assist into my ground series for an easy 3 extra hits.

What does everyone think of Chris (Gun Fire)/Super Skrull (Stone Smite)/Frank West (Shopping Cart)?

Sounds like a fun team to me!

I’ve been messing around with Dr. Strange(EoA)/X23(AS)/Frank West(Cart) and I’m liking it so far.

Cart is all-around gdlk. Does a great job of keeping people out if you want to zone and is fast enough to be used for his mix-up game. You can confirm on hit into a crumple which gives you a free hard tag into frank from most places on the screen. Then you get the double snap off of EoA assist. So it usually a free level 4.

I’m running Skrull/Frank/Raccoon. I’ve discovered some neat things but I’m pretty new to the game in general. Here’s a quick list of experience gaining combos I have and a quick explanation:

Skrull::l::m:c.:h::s: j.:m::m::h::s:(dash here if not in corner):d::h::s:j.:m::m::h: INFERNOOOO (Mashed), DHC QCB super, Picture, pie.
EXP gain: 50-103 (Timing sensitive cause you can’t DHC to late or there will be no HKD)
This is an obvious one, and there’s probably a way to expand it but it’s a nice BnB to get a quick 4 or 5 frank. If any skrull players know a way to expand it it would be nice to know, or if there’s something post picture other than the pie.

Frank: :l::m::h:c.:h::s:j.:m::m::h::s::a1:(Skrull Tenderizer) Picture OTG :s: (Specific timing, right after the 9th hit of tenderizer):m::m::h::s::a2:(Pendulum) Picture, Pendulum hit, picture
Exp gain: About 60 I think
NO METER :smiley: Thus far I can only get this in the corner and there are probably better ways to do it, also there is probably a way to smack a super at the end and maybe some QCF Ls in between.

If anyone can help me improve these that’d be great. I’ll post more when I get them.

^^^ for the first combo after the infero/ToS DHC you can sneak in a skrull assist call before the snapshot, netting you level 5 with frank.

And I’m sure you already know but frank can get level 4 off rocket raccoon THC or DHC.

Really? Well I’ll test that out when I get home, see if I can fuse the two combos together by Sing at the end of the Tenderizer, Sing again quickly (Hit stun scaling! Whoo!) and get a log into their face after another snapshot. It’ll probably scale too much but I’ll see if I can work it.

Yeah I know but I am ass with raccoon on point right now. I used to run Spidey, Frank, Skrull but I wanted to try Raccoon cause I couldn’t find a way to get frank past 3 on point without using like, 3 meters.

yea tenderizer can cause a lot of hit stun. Id suggest stone smite instead but then you’d have two assists which cause a wall bounce haha.

Doesn’t spiderman have a combo which ends in that spike/hard knock down/ground bounce? You should have enough time to raw tag frank in and snap a shot. I swear I saw a vid of it a while back.

I’m currently running a team of Zero, Frank, Vergil. Is there any synergy between Frank and Vergil w/ Rapid Slash assist?

Midst of testing now, Tenderizer over hit stuns them a LOT, to the point that they’ll recover in the middle of it if you take the picture so you can’t even take a 2nd one. HOWEVER, you still have yet to use the wall bounce so you can smack them with pendulum and take another picture after it, testing now to see if there’s something else you can do after pendulum that’ll result in a level 5 frank purely for damage optimization purposes.

EDIT: A simple S into j.S still gets them to where you want them but I think that may change cause I timed the DHC really early to do it and it did less damage in total than just mashing the inferno. about 90000 less.

vergil is one of the best characters to level up frank.

try LMHS MMHS Call Rocket Dash Snapshot (Rocket Hits) Dash S MMHS Snapshot + Tenderizer. See where you stand on the hitstun decay. You might be able to link an S, Tools H, or a roundhouse. roundhouse would lead to another snap, S or Tools H into a roundhouse would lead to another snap. If they flip out you should be level 3 by that point and could do Funny Face Crusher resets potentially. Long and short of it is finishing with Skrull should offer you more options if the hitstun decay accomodates.

And Klepto, THCing with Frank + Rocket Raccoon is awful. I’ve spent hours tinkering with height/spacing and can’t find a reliable way to not have the shopping cart wall bounce. Feels totally random

Copy and pasted from the team building thread:
Ok, I have been running my team for almost all of ultimate. I am a huge Haggar fan and used him in vanilla right up until I realized I was mostly just using his assist as a crutch. Ive was originally running Haggar(lariat)/Frank(cart)/Hawkeye(poison tip) which gave me 2 assists to relaunch with haggar plus poison added to both haggar and frank combos. I recently switched over to triple shot assist which has been much better but has made me aware of another problem with my team, if haggar goes down before leveling up frank, Frank is left on his own to level because triple shot doesnt help other than to open people up.

So I am looking for a new anchor. I need someone who helps with relaunching for both Haggar and Frank. I would also prefer an assist that allows frank to do his series, snap a photo and relaunch for another series into another photo but it could just be some sort of otg. Lastly, I am looking for someone who is good on anchor. I use XF with haggar to kill more and more often so they dont have to be incredible in xf3 but it would help. I really, dont want to use wesker. Any suggestions?

dormammu
I’m not sure but skrull’s assist can probably help with haggar combos with tenderizer, and is an insane anchor

I think Dorm is going to likely be my best bet. The problem with both suggestions is that their assists cause too much HSD(especially skrull) to perform longer haggar combos. I really just need to put some training time into dorm.

you can use stone smite to extend haggars combos. Only does 1 hit and causes a wallbounce.

I didnt think about that, it shoudl work for relaunching with frank too since I dont use his wall bounce online.
