Invasion Force: The Skrull Team-Building thread!

yeah all the videos i seen iron fist use a assist like hawkeye

what do you think of hsien ko i am mostly want play with mixs up i dont want to get happy birthday
so it would be skrull, firebrand, hsien ko

Sorry to jump in but I’m trying to figure out a point character for my Firebrand/Skrull duo. I was thinking that Tron might be capable since she can build meter but I guess my biggest concern is lack of overall assists that are great, any ideas?

Edit: I’ve been trying doctor strange and his assist seem to have good lockdown abilities as well.

his eye of agamotto is a awesome assist

i run a Firebrand/Skrull team with Frank on point. granted it is hard to get in on certain people but you can just do a regular frank bnb, call tenderizer and snapshot twice then go into survival techniques. from there you can false dhc trick (the one noel brown does with wolvy/frank which is dhc’ing from survival techniques into a powerup super since they end fast and just raw tag frank and get another snapshot) levl 4 frank, luminous firebrand, and kl’rt ready for action off one touch :open_mouth:

Speaking of Firebrand/Skrull one team that I’ve started playing around with is Doom/Firebrand/Skrull. Doom gets to use two lockdown assists and can play keep away or rushdown, building a good amount of meter, firebrand had the snap loop or at least a really good incoming character setup for an xf2 kill. In theory, I can also decide on the loading screen to switch Doom with Skrull based on the matchup making the team Skrull/Firebrand/Doom. This order gives Skrull the cover from missiles, and Firebrand’s spitfire assist lets him cover elastic punch -> elastic grab resets in the corner. Firebrand also has a corner unblockable reset with missiles, and Doom is a reasonable anchor. The other good thing is that the team is relatively beefy with both the point and anchor having 1 mil health.

Is Skrull/Hulk/Sent a good team? If so which assist should I use for each?

I am by no means a hulk expert so take what i say with a grain of salt. It looks like a solid team though both skrull and hulk are going to be covered by drones so it helps them with their approach and mix up game. You can do some really nasty corner command grab set ups with hulk using skrulls orbital grudge assist.The dhc between these three are pretty soild aswell you can do both skrull torch and inferno into G.crush for massive damage. As for hulk dhc I am not to sure since i dont play the hulk but I think u can dhc G.crush into inferno. I didnt mention hulk assist b/c I dont which hulk assist is useful for this team.

i am so dependent on rocks assist (skrull/dorm/doom). i really want to drop doom but i can’t find any other good assists. I like rocks because i can…

  1. do meteor smash and the rocks have a sort of delayed hit that will keep me safe/combo break
  2. gtfo me assist (for both skrull and dorm)
  3. beat out other projectiles and lets me get in
  4. locks them down or makes them jump, for ES set ups

any suggestions? or are sentinel drones the ONLY other assist character for me?

Im not going to lie I think sentinel assist-a is the best assist in the game for skrull but if you dont want to use it you shouldnt force yourself. You can try ironman-a,akuma-b,frank-a,strange agamotto,etc. Really anything that locks them down or protects skrulls approach is a good assist for him. I personally like ironman and franks assist the best. They both lock the opponent down extremely well and ironman beam is the best beam assist in the game but hes a hard character to pick up. You can also instant lvl 5 frank west with skulls inferno.

not really feeling iron man because of his potentially game-losing cr.H missile and having no safe supers.

frank west and akuma sound interesting though (along with sent). Frank’s a new character, so i’m going to have to see if i like his playstyle. i played akuma a lot in vanilla but haven’t used him since ultimate dropped coz i thought tatsu assist became garbage. will have to test in some matches to see if it’s still any good.

you know c.:h: is cancellable, right?

I’m looking to experiment with Arthur/Firebrand/Kl’rt at the moment, as my variant of exploiting the pair. The basic gameplan is to armour up Arthur, Switch him out for Super-Skrull, and go to town with the godly daggers assist to back me up. Fun applications with it include comboing off of a full screen meteor smash and covering ground Bon Voyage, but there’s plenty more benefits too. And if all goes awry, I should at least have XF3 Arthur to fall back on. The alternative gameplan is to just play Arthur solo until he kicks the bucket (if that even happens), and then fall back on the pair, which can also work depending on the matchup or the mood.

tryed out spencer, taskmaster and skrull love them

I am currently running Skrull-B/IM-A/Sent-A and I’m really digging this team. Both IM and Sent cover Skrull really well and add to his mix up potential. IM backed up by drones is no joke either I can either choose to zone or apply IM scary high/low mix up. Im not sure hows skrull assist can benefit the team though. I kinda just use grudge randomly during footsies sometimes I use it in the corner to set up sent command grab or to set up IM mix ups but its so situational. Anyone have any ideas on which Skrull assist I should use?

for that team you can run orbital grudge or stone smite. either one doesn’t really matter as he’s just your point character lol

i went back to my vanilla team of she hulk / skrull / doom. Rocks are the best thing in the entire world. RR’s double hadoukens are genius as well

Skrull Elastic slam is golden

i generally always use orbital grudge as an assist. It’s got armor and is great to get people off you. that’s if you’re more of a zoner.but if you like to rush and use IM’s hi-lows (i’ve never really played IM but i’m assuming he moves like Nova) then i recommend using tenderizer. really keeps them locked down in the corner and you can do your shenanigans.

but if you’re strictly gona use skrull on-point, i think you should just go with tenderizer assist. Not coz you’ll use it but because if you do the THC, he’ll do the skrull torch super (the other 2 assists make him use inferno). I haven’t really tested it out but i believe it’s a zero-frame super? so if the opponent isn’t blocking when you activate it, he’ll get hit (provided he’s right beside you). plus, skrull torch has a few frames of invincibility (it beats out bionic arm)

how? please help. lol

i tried frank for a bit and i think i got him to level 4 with skrull by doing ground magic series xx air magic series xx airdash xx OTG xx st.M xx launch xx inferno xx DHC into whiffed frank’s “dead meat!” super xx picture.

i need to do launcher because if i just inferno off a meteor smash, frank’s super doesn’t whiff. sure it gets me some extra damage if i need it, but it leaves me with a level1 frank :frowning:

Nasty showed it in one of his vids, starting at 2:35:
