probably known already, but fun stuff nevertheless. simple firebrand tag combo that works on everyone. kidnap had to be done early in the combo and mid screen for it to work.
So I play Zero/Doom/Dante and have taken a liking to firebrand.
Im just curious, can I just put FB on the front and run FB/Doom/Dante? That’d be the easiest for me of course but I’m not sure if that’s best for a Firebrand team. Should I look into a different anchor?
Firebrand/Doom/Dante is good but be aware that the DHC synergy from Firebrand to Dante is pretty poor.
Jam Session is good for Firebrand, but it scales like hell.
The best possible anchor for the team would be Amaterasu though.
Ok guys here is a question for ya… I recently wanted to try something new so I picked up Viper and stated a team of C.Viper/FB/Ammy and given I am new to her I am forcing her to point to learn match-ups and such but really she will sit in the middle in the end.
I am really having a hard time getting in on opponents, and asking for assistance or ideas on which assist would profit her gameplay best. The swoop has a funky path, the dive is SUPER unsafe and the fireball doesn’t do much help. I use the swoop sometimes to help with zoning, the dive gives untech if timed right and you can do some Sj box jump mix-ups with the fireball.
On the same note, as a longtime Firebrand player I have been having a hard time figuring out how to incorporate her assist into my strategy when he is on point. The sismo makes for an easy follow-up to throws but that is about all I have discovered.
Any help appreciated, I will post any tech I stumble upon as well
See a few people asking about Firebrand/Shuma, I played Firebrand/Dorm/Shuma a good chunk of the Danger room so check the archives for that. If you have super specific questions maybe I can answer. It is possible to get the floating bomb setup because the team is so meter efficient just dhc all the way to the back. Shoutouts to Maho for commenting on the video how to get it to work on some chars, i’ll mess with it.
I’ve been using Firebrand/Dorm/Shuma for a while, but I can’t find a way to confident get a combo off either of Dotmammu’s ground throws. Do you know if it can be done using either of my assists?
Not outside the corner unfortunately. That’s just one drawback to the team though to be honest not too many assists let dorm combo off a ground throw.
People still play this character? Hue
not in san diego at least
hi everyone! this is my first post here! forgive my bad english, it’s not my native language
I enjoy umvc3 a lot, but only recently got into a competitive scene
anyway, I play an above average doom and dormammu, and I’m geting good with ammy ( spent days testing combos and stuff with her) and I want to play firebrand as my point character because his unblockables are sick good and he’s an cool character.
which team do you guys consider it’s the best firebrand team?
Firebrand (any), Dr Doom ( plasma beam), Ammaterasu ( cold star)
or Firebrand (any), Dormammu (Dark hole), Ammaterasu ( cold star)
both dorm and doom have a good sinergy with ammy and firebrand benefits a lot of both doom and dorm, but I want to know what’s the best team to try out online against medium/high level players and for what reasons
thz in advance!
This team. Play this.
Hands down the best Firebrand team.
why do you think so?
dormammu is a best solo character (IMO) should firebrand fail, but doom is no slouch…
What’s the reasons of that statement?
Dormammu gives Firebrand the best DHC synergy, but Doom has Firebrand’s best assist in Plasma Beam, lets you do Firebrand/Doom hard tag combos, and has an easy TAC infinite, among other things.
Also, if Firebrand dies, Doom/Ammy is a better duo than Dormammu/Ammy since Doom uses Cold Star much better than Dormammu. Also, Doom/Ammy THC.
Thanks gengis! I will try Firebrand, doom and ammy for my online matches for now on!
I know he’s sub par compared to both doom and dorm in a FB team but how good is Dr strange for the team? he has a good DHC with book of light after a dark fire, and both bolts and eye of agammoto are great for FB
what do you guys think?
No problem, but I’m username isn’t Ghengis, haha.
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Like you said, he’s not as good as Doom and Dorm, but Bolts/Eye are still good assists and I’m sure Firebrand could make good use of either.
after a lot of tests (and hours in practice mode) I decided to set with Firebrand/Dormammu/ Super skrull
Doom’s plasma beam is great to get in and win the footsie war against some points ( Crismon viper, wolwerine and zero) and punish other assists, but he can only do so much, and dormammu damage output it’s too good to pass out, he’s able to clean the house so easy that’s not even funny and he has some cool combos with skrull
I know ammy is better, but I just find her too hard to play ( not that firebrand is a piece of cake either), I just better with skrull than with ammy
here’s a video of some Dorm/ skrull sinergy, even tough this guy uses stone smite in the first combos, the last ones use tenderizer
I don’t know what you mean by “he can only do so much”. Doom gives a ton to Firebrand, probably much more than Dormammu.
I mean, you don’t HAVE to run Firebrand/Doom/Ammy, but I strongly recommend at least having Doom somewhere. Firebrand/Dormammu/Doom and Firebrand/Doom/Skrull are possible teams that could most definitely work.
And almost all of them except for the last requires XF too. Not really that good.
This statement makes no sense to me. Doom’s damage output is easily on par with Dorm’s, which is one of the reasons he’s such a great teammate option for Firebrand.
If you just like Dormammu more than Doom, that’s fine; I’m in the same boat myself. But don’t shortchange Doom on one of his biggest selling points.
I’m good with both dorm and doom, and I like both characters, so it’s not a matter of preference here.
I admit that doom is a better assist character than dormammu, but the DHC sinergy is too much to pass out, Doom can sphere flame after a dark fire, but dormammu can stalking flare for the kill (giving room for a hardtag just as sphere flame do) and chaotic flame if he really needs to get the kill.
also popping the X factor is not THAT big deal when you are playing skrull, it still hurts, but not as much as it hurts ammy.
then again, I’m still new to competitive, I will give doom another shot
Doom can also hard tag in after a Bon Voyage and convert for big damage. That’s a pretty big factor, too.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Dormammu as a teammate, and I much prefer him over Doctor Doom. But objectively, Doom offers more of what Firebrand needs.
