I love how far bolts reach, but I hate how long Strange is sitting out there. He’s literally out there for a billion years compared to his eye assist where he’s not even done saying the name and he’s already gone.
What’s the best Taskmaster assist for Iron Fist?
do any of you use ironfist last? i feel like his wallbounce assist is so good might was well let two of my characters benefit from it
I’m guessing Horizontal arrows. It depends who else you have on your team and what you want them to do.
I don’t like it, but if your characters get big rewards off of it then why not.
Maybe Hawkeye / Wolv / Iron Fist? I don’t have my PS3 at the moment so bear with me on this theory craft.
Hawkeye and Wolverine are polar opposites and so they cover each others mach up weakness very well I would think. They both have some left right bs that u can abuse with Iron Fist assist and I’m assuming it’s an easy confirm for both. Wolverine 2nd because imo it’ more effective to try to build some meter with Hawkeye and his superior match up chart.He can catch assist calls really easy and probably get some retarded conversions by thcing into Wolvy power up from pretty far away. Once Hawkeye dies you have a Wolvy with one of his best assists, extra meter, and XF2 to run train through a team. If anything Iron Fist isn’t as likely to face the higher tier point character if hes in the back. He’ll more likely be fighting Doom or something which is more than manageable.
Maybe someone good enough with the characters can try out the team?
Yes, yes I do. Have done since Ultimate’s release.
It definitely works. It’s just in terms of overall team strength if builds like Zero/Dante/Strider etc are up at about 90-95% effectiveness, a good build with Iron Fist at the back will only ever get to about 70-75%.
Alright so I’m still settling on characters but Iron Fist has been pretty fun to play (once I actually manage to land a hit that is). The team I’ve been using is IF (Kick)/Chris (gunfire)/Vergil (Rapid Slash). I like all three characters and IF the king of stuns/crumples plus Chris the king of OTG is a good combo. My only problem is that their assists are kind of lackluster for IF on point. I know Sent/Doom are obviously awesome assists, but I don’t like playing them on point so I’d rather avoid that. Some other teams I’ve been considering are IF/Chris/Amaterasu (Cold Star, obviously), IF/Chris/Hawkeye (triple arrow) Or IF/Vergil/Nova to give IF some better assists in getting in other than gunfire from Chris. Any suggestions?
Ammy and Hawk are both good choices. I’d go with cold star myself.
I would also suggest (I seem to say this a lot as more and more people realize the chris/IF combo is deadly) switching Chris to landmine and put Chris on point to start and switch between the two over the course of the match. Take advantage of their incredible DHC synergy and high health. If you have a life lead, IF becomes a whole different beast. If they have to come in on you, landing hits becomes much easier, landmine will cut down the effectiveness of their mixups and cold star is just amazing all the time.
How does Iron Fist, Hawkeye, and Nova sound. What assist should I use with each?
Alright, I’ve wanted to play Iron Fist since day 1 but I never found a good team to suit him.
I’m thinking Iron Fist, and Chris on 2nd point.
Now, what assist should Chris have and what anchor should I have? I’m thinking Doom/Spencer.
Sounds like it could work, maybe go with IF/Nova/Hawk just because hawkeye level 3 can be insane. Just remember to set up chi H between combos to get him all that meter.
You could use Dragon fang for IF, Quick Shot for Hawkeye, and Centurion Rush for Nova. Quick shot so that IF can wavedash in close and centurion rush for unblockables with dragon tail and combo extension. Dragon fang is really IF’s only good assist unless you have something particular in mind. Dragon’s touch only works if you are in close for combos and since hawkeye is mostly a zone character and nova can just do air stuff its not worth it. Crescent heel would be good but since both hawk and nova have otg moves it is kind of a waste.
thats one of the iron fist teams ive been using, and its pretty good, i use Hawkeye triple arrow on pretty much all of my iron fist teams, its good to get it, and you can hit confirm it from a pretty good distance away and still dash in and get a combo, Hawkeye arrows also helps Nova quite a bit for air dash mixups, also hawkeye and iron fist both have some unblockable setups they can do with Novas overhead, i like Hawkeye as anchor on that team just because i feel he helps Nova more than Nova helps him, but they are both good anchors.
Hey guys I need a tie break for my team. Any advice would be appreciated
[LIST=1]
[]Iron Fist/???/Dorm, I like IF as a meter build cause of chi H and with darkhole as a lockdown I could get some nice mixups in there. If I go this rout I’m thinking Iron Man or Task for a beam/arrow
[]???/Iron Fist/Strider, Just because they both kick so much ass but need a decent point
[/LIST]
Iron Fist/Frank West/Spencer…OMG. They are so nasty.
I used to think that too, but there’s too many holes in that team.
I will need you to explain this. This is my favorite/only Iron Fist team and the only hole I see is the one that’s present on every other Iron Fist team; vulnerability to beam assist.
- Don’t have an assist to help you get in. So it’s very easy to get zoned out.
- No safe DHCs
- Frank second with no assist terrible; Slant Shot isn’t going to help at all. It’s better to have Frank last because anytime you land a hit with Iron Fist you will always be able to TAC directly into him.
- Rising Fang doesn’t really help Spencer because it cuts off his combos.

TAC? People still do that? I understand what you mean about being zoned out, but you must have never seen me play.
I 1 touch kill anyone that’s 900,000 or less…NO TAC!!!
err I meant TAC into Frank so you can build levels. When Iron Fist dies you’re going to be in deep shit.
Not me sir…I fight with level 1 Frank very well. It was me who did this: [media=youtube]dpowFOs1Ihs[/media]
