Morrigan doesn’t provide anything for your team. If you like M.O.D.O.K, try him on point with Nova second and Sentinel anchor. Might be nice. Try finding a character that can take advantage of drones and dhc’s well into either Nova or Sentinel.
What would you do if you have Nova anchor? How would you go about opening them up?
Pretty much the same general formula, except you gotta be a lot more careful. Good luck if you’re fighting a solid zoning character. The speed boost he gets in X-factor helps out with that, but it’s only temporary.
Just an opinion from everyone. Which is faster for his instant overhead L. Super jump or normal jump? I’ve seen both being used by people like TA Moon and Infrit. Personally I do normal jump L overhead after being pushed block. When I’m getting in I go for the super Jump L. So I just want people opinion which is faster? Super jump looks the fastest in my opinion but normal jump is easier.
For characters with an air dash, there is a certain height they have to reach before they can do it. You get to that height by jumping. Super jumping is–like the name says–a super jump. As such, it’ll get you to that height for an air dash faster than a normal jump will. If you want a faster instant over head, that’s the jump you want to be using.
The absolute fastest way, which I mentioned in the general thread, is to input very quickly, down, up, down + L. It’s a shortcut that lets you instant overhead incredibly quickly since the game inputs a dash without actually imputing a dash.
Thanks for the information Marvel, greatly appreciate it.
Also thank you LegendaryDJ to confirm my question.
Definitely will practice this way before Evo (which is in a few weeks >.<)
For what it’s worth, I still primarily rely on is crossup Tri-Jump jA for opening people up.
Nova’s B assist is actually a great relauncher if you do a rocket punch right after calling the assist.
Try out doctor strange, the bolts are a great way to approach your opponent and can easily work as a hit confirm for combos
Im a new nova player as well and have always wondered in general when ppl have drone or coldstar or some awesome assist why dont ppl specially nova players rush up and grab? Is it risky/not possible to grab while someone is blocking drones or other assist?

No, you can’t grab someone out of blockstun, if you want a grab mixup you have to wait until they stop blocking the assist.
although this is true 99.9% of the time, there was a video posted a while ago with some tech showing Viper grabbing someone out of blockstun

Can anyone elaborate what that means?
it means nova “brought it”. If you need more elaboration than that then you’re in the wrong forum.

Moons, keep going to Big Two so I have entertainment on Wednesday AND more chances to take notes on your Nova. kthx ;).
REAL TALK though, my incoming mixup is dead ass just Energy javelin and the bop lmao…either they guess wrong and I get a free ground bounce or they block and put themselves in block stun.

With your team, you could use Spencer assist on the incoming and either airdash above them, or 2B under them to make them guess. With Taskmaster point, and Nova still alive, you can do the Moons incoming: call Nova, and super jump H arrows over them.
Yup I know but I love those assists too much for combo extension and I dont have any reliable midcombo resets or anything. I basically just make the gamble with the energy javelin…like I said, it’s either they block or they get hit…either way I win the incoming game. lol
