Hey guys I’m in a little bind here. I have tried multiple characters for the second spot between Firebrand and Ammy, but I can’t seem to get anything going for me at the moment. For any FB/Ammy player out there what are you running for your second slot, or if someone else why the order? I have been playing Iron man but once FB dies I get kind of screwed. I was thinking magnus but he seems too squishy, or nova but idk what assist to use. (and yes I have tried dorm and doom and I dislike them both)
Well I like team Firebrand/Frank/Ammy aka "A boy, his dog, and his gargoyle dragon"
It’s a departure from the typical set-up.
True that does sound like a nice combo, I’ll give that a try. I was thinking someone who would benefit from an otg assist. I’m thinking get 2 bars, DHC from luminous into my second character and take it from there. That way I get a decent otg assist from FB, lockdown and mix-up opportunity with coldstar and maximize the damage I could get from whoever I choose, yet I can’t think of that character 
Fair warning: Even in Luminous Body, Firebrand’s assists are average at best. You should always be looking to get him back out on point as soon as possible. Also, as far as DHC’s go, Luminous should generally be used for coming in since the speed boost is more useful on point; Dark Fire is a better option for getting out since it can be used to OTG or create space and then immediately DHC to your second.
Touche, so with that I was thinking Magnus with either a beam or hyper grab. Easy DHC from dark fire into tempest (or kool THC with hyper grav) and possible extension with hyper grav to catch first dive kick. Beam is going to be good for firebrand either way and Ammy helps both with lockdown. Plus if I TAC into mag I can get a ton of meter. The one down side is I feel the team is real squishy
Don’t worry too much about squishiness. 95% of the time against a competent player most of the cast is going to die in one combo.
Well, not everyone. Heavy Characters would be much more valuable if they weren’t so damn easy to reset. It’s part of the reason Hulk and Haggars on point are valuable, since both have them have excellent wakeup options vs resets
True, though I did say “most characters”. But yeah, 1 mil+ combos aren’t too common. Which is why I wish Sent still had his old 1.3 million health. 
What is Zak Bennet new FB team? I heard he was working on some new stuff with better synergy than FB/Dorm/Ammy
My team is Wolverine/Firebrand/Ammy Wolverine gets crazy mixups with cold star but his approach isn’t as good if I went with tatsu or drones. But my firebrand shines much more than when i picked akuma. Crazy setups and unblockables galore. Fuck akuma.
Still, I feel like your team would be much more effective if you replaced Wolvie or Firebrand with Akuma (or Dante, or Sentinel, or Doom, etc.). As it stands right now I feel like neither FB or Logan really do anything for each other, and Ammy can only do so much by herself.
Your right, but I love wolvie/firebrand so damn much. these are my two fav characters in the game and both are very good characters. I wish i had more team synergy but it’s ok. I’ll upload some vids of me playing soon.
Do you, bro.
I used to run this team and its great.
Wolvie and Firebrand compliment each other like a sub machine does with a shotgun. The keyword is versatility. Where one is weak, the other is strong.
Firebrand has trouble with people who can control air-space like Trish, Hawkeye, Morrigan, Doom, Derptain Ameriderp, Spencer, etc Wolvie’s dive kick is a 640k goddamn fly-swatter. Wolvie has trouble with corner carrying, he needs someone like Firebrand who can drag people to the corner with ease.
Off a bon voyage you can safely raw tag wolverine in and go to town with mix-ups.
IMO Wolviebrand can safely outderp about 80% of the cast. But the duo is pressed for time so to speak. The team needs to eliminate threatening assists like Vajra, Jam Session, and Missiles ASAP. These three assists halt momentum which is a vital component of Wolviebrand.
Also Dormmamu and Morrigan are other top threats.
Can somebody pls link me to all the Firebrand/Vergil tech that has been posted here on SRK or at youtube? im trying to work in a Firebrand/Vergil/Ammy team. Thanks in advance 
Udaterasu is who your looking for. I’m not sure who has the better firebrand him or zak bennet.

So I found some tech with wolvie firebrand after watching uda. After doing a doing a wolvie bnb into air fatal claw, dhc into luminous immediately jump s, call Amaterasu, and do the unblockable. there’s no way to roll out of it.
hey ya’ll. would you be able to setup up an ammy cold star incoming mixup with say nova with gravimetric pulse?
Off gravimetric pulse, you can do some naaaaaaaasty things. I’ve been lazy in getting a proper video for the setups.
For an incoming mixup, one of my favorites for grav pulse is to give yourself a good distance (maybe a full dash away from the corner) and call grav pulse assist. Around the same time launch out a meaty B Fireball towards incoming opponent to get them to block/fall in place. The grav pulse should be close to them so they can’t move, but should not connect with the opponent when they are falling in place. Do a B version Demon Missile so you can land can get to the other side of the opponent, if done right when they are out of block stun they will get hit by the grav pulse as a crossup. This equals free combo since it has enough hitstun for Firebrand to recover from demon missile.
I got an idea for a Firebrand solo mixup. Video coming soon if it works like how i think of it.
Sooo…this is a thing…I found this out by accident. lol… Super easy to confirm and if you do this from a combo and not a grab it does a lot more damage. Way more than when you use an assist that holds them there. [media=youtube]ff1Q13q2qv0[/media]
edit: I think I may do a video of collections on who this works with. Probably a lot more options now,
MAJOR EDIT: Watch the video, do the same thing with out calling an assist. FIrebrand can combo into his level 3 on his OWN. THAT DAMAGE! [media=youtube]xOTy7j8BYY4[/media]
That’s… neat? Four meters is hardly worth the damage in that video. You can get around 400k just by using Dark Fire after a throw. The mid-combo applications are possibly more useful, though.
