As someone who has, in vanilla, fallen in love with beam assist + teleport shenanigans (specifically Dante and Magneto), my current theory-fighter idea for an Ultimate team is Dante xxx Doom, as unless Magneto proves to be totally absurdly broken, without DHC glitch I’d rather just play Doom for the beam. I was wondering, based on your knowledge and experience thus far with the new characters, who you feel would best fit the following criteria:
-Can totally abuse the shit out of a beam assist for cross up gimmicks a la Dante. Thus far imagining Strider, Virgil, or Rocket from new cast, Dorm from old.
-Has an assist that Dante can abuse the shit out of, alternating with Doom’s beam. This is less important than the above, since it would be a secondary assist. But for synergy’s sake, I don’t wanna skimp on the options. I know virtually nothing about the new guys’ assists, but am assuming Strider’s teleport assist could be good to go here?
Any less acrid these days? Or still perennially so?
1: THANK YOU (sorry but caps totally intended and needed) for not letting up anything with a 3:1 character lead on Phoenix Wright last night @ Ultimate NorCal vs Capcom. For those not overjoyed at this character, it was a treat seeing fans denied.
Rocket Raccoon: Unused by many ppl (from what I could see on the main station that is) at Ultimate Norcal 2 event. Is there something that was putting people off to him? His life maybe? His overall size and the j. M that dashes forward making his air combos a little different than the cast maybe? Just curious on your overall impression of him if you got your hands on the little furry bastard at the event.
Honzo, I want this to take up 5 minutes of your new video.
After playing the new Taskmaster, what is your take on him? Is he better? Is he worse? What are his matchups looking like? Do you think he’s had too many things limiting him, hindering his overall performance, or do you think he’s got a lot of new possible technology added to him?
Honzo, where did you get your hat? How much was it? What brand? What kind of material is it made from? What are the washing instructions? Is it available in Kentucky or Ohio? How viable is it when turned backwards? What kind of synergy would it have with my Oakley shades?
I want this to one up Death Insurance and take at least 10 minutes in your new video.
Can we get your opinions on all the new people? Even if it’s just a few words on each. I know you already said which you thought were better than others, but a little more would be cool.
Is it true you are powerless without your hat?
Is it true that you are so famous that people go to the hair salon and ask for the ‘Honzo Gonzo’?
Is there a option for the old hud in Ultimate?
Do you like the old hud more?
Why didn’t you bring your Marvelous Custom Super Stick to Ultimate Norcal 2 to promote them? (I saw the TE Round 1 with two red buttons)
Who did you lose to at Ultimate Norcal 2?
Do you think Task Or Hawkeye is better from your experience playing? People are saying Hawkeye is just an upgraded version of Task but I hope thats not true. In what ways do you think Task may be better than Hawkeye?
If a Honzo Gonzo ‘Honzo Gonzos’ a Honzo Gonzo, what Honzo Gonzos?
Please for the love of all that is Chris’ beautiful biceps tell me why everyone on these boards thinks Taskmaster is a top tier character? I understand he has high health, silly damage, and an annoying ass zoning game, but by no means is he borderline broke like the good lady Trish. So why the **** are people saying he’s top tier?
Thanks for the info. I wondering if assists got any buffs, especially Zero’s Y. I don’t know if it was me, but it looked like the distance of his Y assist increased from the UMVC3 vids i’ve seen. I could be mistaken. I never used Zero’s Y assist, and i always used his AAA due to be oriented to MVC2 fundamentals (AAA’s being the strongest). Is Zero’s Y assist better in Ultimate and is better to use for Strider and Task (both in normal and in his clone super mode)?
edit, do you think Task should be in his Vertical shot assist since it would allow zero to dash through the incoming opponent?
