I think at the end of the day Gold Arthur Daggers are Iron Fist’s best assist. I also kind of want to say Jam Session even though his best option after a super jump hit is a super. But with Jam Session at least he can get a high low mixup going with instant overhead j.L and cr.H, but opponent has to be in fuzzy guard, for most characters. Dante also gives him a THC that you can use to get some safe high/lows going. Arthur does too. Both give safe DHC’s too.
Spitfire Twice also might be one of his best too. Shopping Cart is cool and all but it ruins IF’s damage scaling since his damage scaling is more fit for a character like Zero than for someone his tier.
I forgot to include Gold Daggers because it requires meter for him to use just to get that assist. Normal daggers is still pretty good though. Shopping Cart does scale but it still comes out very quickly and honestly the damage scaling is not that big of a deal if you’re going to level up Frank anyways. Frank teams always suffer damage in exchange for leveling up and only a few teams can kill and level up Frank simultaneously.
On that thought maybe other things like Sougenmu Hadangeki might be decent as well. I’m also trying to see if some of the more underused/weird assists can be of help to him like Task vertical arrows and Modok Balloon Bomb.
I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of using Iron Fist recently. I used to use IF/Cap/Hawkeye, but that team was too linear. I decided to replace Cap with Dante, and here’s what I got so far. Any tips are appreciated.
Hello, I’m somewhat new into marvel, but I understand basic mechanics of the game.
I got idea to try Iron Fist and thought to build team with Nova/Strider. I did this team because of high/low unblockable with nova assist and strider assist just makes people careful about their buttons in the air. I also understand that Nova/Strider itself is good a shell. So far I’ve discovered DHC compatility is good with Nova and IF in both order. I’m still trying to find some good assisted combos. My assists for the current IF/Nova/Strider are Rising fang(y)/Centurion Rush(b)/Vajra(y).
What do you think about this team? Should I replace nova for much better team member or assist?
I’ve been playing marvel for a while now (6 months).
Im new to the goddam power of chi though, and I was wondering what the best Iron Fist Sentinel team is, in terms of who to put in the middle.
I’ve been trying iron fist magneto sent using disrupta drones however Ive been reading that task hawkeye and akuma have good assists for iron fist (I hate frank).
I also want somebody in the center that is great with drones and meter, I’ve had storm on some of my teams for a while but I feel that iron fist needs a good assist that storm ca’t provide, even though whirlwind keeps them standing its pretty slow.
With that team you’re going to need some air control. I suggest Dante. Jam session doesn’t keep them standing, but it preserves ground bounce and ads some much needed harassment potential for people who stay in the sky.
I have problems in chosing middle characters but i thought in some characters you and others could use. Let’s separate characters who can fly and those who can’t:
Starting with flying characters, i say Dormammu, Doom would be the best options as both make good shells with Sentinel, and are good in middle. Dormammu Dark Hole is good for Iron Fist because it makes the opponent block giving time to IF approach. And Doom have some of the best assists in the game. Iron Man is also an good option because he have IMO the best beam assist in the game which helps IF alot and he makes a good shell with Sentinel. Super-Skrull (don’t fly but air-dashes) also makes a good shell with Sentinel, but as Skrull/IF synergy i don’t see a lot of potential but that’s just me. Also, Dante, he can do well with IF and Sentinel making a good IF team in theory. Some other day i talk more about that (i’m without time now).
Now about characters who can’t fly, as you read Akuma and arrows helps IF, the best options are Akuma and Task, because both are good middle characters and are good with Sentinel, Task is a better middle character than Hawkeye IMO. Also Spencer with Sentinel makes one of the best shells and IF/Spencer have some synergy, i know you can kill with Spencer after a Rising Fang hits. My last option would be Wesker with gunshot assist, for simple combos extensions and unblockables and he is good with drones. Just a little bit of Team building i wanted to share with you all. Maybe i should send some of this to the Sentinel thread hahaha.
First off Zeohawk, it’s good to see you back. Seems like your combos are as optimal as they can get for now. Very solid.
Strider is an ok assist for Iron Fist (kinda slow for him) but Centurion Rush is not. It is far too slow and you’ll be lucky enough to even have that assist hit let alone do an unblockable. Nova/Strider is strong but this team is not strong for IF. It’s an ok team if you want to play for fun but overall doesn’t provide much for IF.
Sentinel is a great assist and since it’s horizontal you wouldn’t necessarily need another projectile assist. Food for thought you can always play Sentinel in the middle and someone like Akuma in back. Knives does it with Spencer and is fairly successful with that team.
If you really want someone in the middle you can pick someone like Dante (a good assist and good with Drones) or Spencer (my choice lol because of how amazing Drones is with Spencer. IMO one of his best assist because of the immediate screen control and he will always get an extra up grapple no matter). Drones is super flexible so you can choose alot of people and they will benefit from it.
Sougenmu’d Hadangeki is very good for Iron Fist, since it moves at the perfect speed and gives a very decent amount of blockstun, and only for two hits. Zero himself is a pretty good Rising Fang assist user too.
Dante is good too, not just because of the assist or the safe DHC, but Iron Fist/Dante THC is actually a good thing for him, it lets you get mixups, even with instant overheads.
A blocked Iron Rage DHC to Devil Trigger is about +20, I believe.
Agreed that Gold Daggers is hands down, Iron Fist’s best assist. Unfortunately you need to take steps to get to that assist and Arthur and IF aren’t the most synergetic of partners. The next best projectile assist is Greyhound. Now the reason I like this over Task is because of the speed alone, it’s really important. The other benefit of having Hawkeye is that he gives trouble to the aerial characters that IF struggles with. So you can switch him out to have a good matchup against Doom, Trish and the like, whereas Task doesn’t really win any of these matchups.
I’ve been messing around with Magneto/Iron Fist/Akuma. So far i really enjoy this team. Magneto is a good character to have just in case a certain matchup requires more air mobility or outzoning someone, which compliments IF. Disruptor i feel is ok for giving IF the time to close the gap or if up close u can confirm from it. Tatsu is great in neutral for both characters and IF can get an extension from it. Rising Fang is great for Magneto and allows him to either confirm during neutral or extend hyper grav loop. As far as damage and dhc synergy its really good. Iron Fist’s 2 super bnb already kills most characters but you can also dhc to magnetic shockwave and it’ll get a lot of hits since you’re goin corner to corner. If you end a combo with Fist of Fury and used the wall bounce already, u can dhc to magnetic tempest and/or hadoken super. People don’t expect me to TAC bait with Magneto because they just assume im not gonna TAC into IF, but since IF can kill if i TAC, it opens up the FChamp style setups as well. Anywho, i really like the team. It would be better if i used Doom or Sentinel instead of Akuma but…I’m kind of tired of Doom and Sentinel is too boring for me lol.
Hey guys what’s up, I just wanna know if I where to have a team of Iron Fist (Point), Dante (Mid), and Vergil (Back) how would I (In details) fair in a competive scene?
Iron Fist May Cry is an interesting concept but tbh, Dante and Vergil does very little for Iron Fist. The DHC wouldn’t be very optimal in terms of damage and the assists doesn’t help Iron Fist get in as well as some others, although I can see some synergy with Weasel Shot and maybe Jam Session. At best, Iron Fist would do some damage and he would die giving Dante/Vergil meter to kill with which is not bad. In other words, you wouldn’t fare too well in the competitive scene in terms of playing Iron Fist but if you’re Dante/Vergil is good then you might go somewhat far because Vergil anchor.
