Props for rockin’ that Cap/Nova/Skrull team! I have tons of fun with that team.
I don’t play Strange much, but when I do I prefer EoA. I tend to move around a lot when I play Skrull, and although I haven’t found a ton of use for it in combos, it’s proven useful in limiting my opponents’ movement options while I go for a mix-up. I tried using bolts to make random meteor smashes more safe, but I kindof feel like random meteor smashes just lead to predictable/punishable playing habits once people learn to deal with the assist you’re using to cover yourself (for me at least). I haven’t been very successful hit-confirming into combo off of either of them, but the incoming mix-up off of EoA alone will probably win you more rounds than anything else.
I like bolts for the simple fact that you can do cross up meteor smash shenanigans and hit confirm off the bolts. Plus ducking under the bolts is a free command grab.
I’m still pretty green at this, but I do a lot better with Dorm when he comes in with meter instead of on point. He is also pretty easy to DHC into from a lot of the cast.
With your other teams, I prefer to play Skrull on anchor, but if you’d rather anchor Doom, Skrull/Task/Doom is pretty great. In fact anything/Task/Doom is pretty great, and I don’t know that Task gets anything particularly good from any of Skrull’s assists (nor does he seem to need it). Sent I don’t like so much just because he has so many bad matchups, but you might consider playing that team as Skrull/Sent/Task since Task is pretty self-sufficient and makes a decent non-Skrull anchor.
Skull tenderizer assit allows for task togo for his L unblockable thingy. The team im running right now is Task Skrull hawk but ugh i wanna change this shit up! Task is the maaan and skrull is the exicutioner =p I need to have something with this team going =(
How is Strange’s bolts of balthack(?) for meteor smash? I’m looking to move skrull to the #2 spot but need a good assist for him and Thor. I tend to believe that drones are the best assists for both of these characters but I just can’t seem to like the robot. Any ideas? I don’t have my box so I’m unable to do the testing I want, but I’m interested in some input.
Shiro my main is Thor/Task/Skrull. I’d say Task and Skrull go together really well, as I’m sure you’ve found, and that with Hawkeye in back you have a pretty scary team. Though Houshen made skrull and task, in that order, work I think it needs to be the other way around…If you could put Skrull at point, and Hawkeye with an OTG (not sure if it even works) or his up arrows along with h.shot for Task you might find a pretty effective team… Just thoughts to chew on.
Dorm (Dark Hole) /Skrull (Stone Smite) /Task (horizontal arrows)? Dorm w/ an otg and projectile assist to cover mass change which also helps control space when zoning is pretty solid. Ex: Dorm/X-23/Doom and Dorm/Wesker/Magneto
Hey, I play a point skrull, and am currently having an identity crisis as to what my third character should be. I currently play Skrull (smite)/Wesker (gun)/Doom (beam), and am doing pretty ok (4-2 at UFGT8). However, I am currently not sure about Doom. I found myself dropping his combos in tournament, and am not sure he is best for the team. I’ve been thinking about magneto, dormammu, hawkeye, sentinel and lots of other characters to fill the position of anchor/spacing and lockdown assist but am really not sure what to do. I find that the best assists for him get killed simply because skrull’s defense and zoning isn’t the best, so characters like sentinel get tagged. Anyone have any advice?
Alright, I’ll try sent again then, and maybe give dormammu a minute just bc I like the character. are you sure that dark wesker is worth losing wesker-drones? I guess the THC is pretty bad bc maximum wesker pushes them up too high.
Trust me, I love both sentinel and dormammu, I think dorm is a badass and that sentinel is adorable (strange as that may sound). I just have to give them both some time. I will report back with my results :]
care to elaborate about Dorm being a good choice for skrull? (other than inferno to stalking flare in the corner :P) i’m a fan of dorm but never really got into him as much as i should’ve because i can’t find a way for him to really help skrull much. his dark hole assist is somewhat good to lock them down for an elastic slam, but it’s not really reliable nor is it that good (unless i’m missing something here). So since he gives so little in terms of assist, i don’t really want him as anchor because it forces my second character to fight without an assist (and likely without xfc, if i’m saving for lvl3 xfc).
on the flipside, when i used to run Dorm on point, OG is kinda nice, but i think Dorm is generally a poor round-starter because the opponent gets to start in his face. plus, he doesn’t have meter or any spells to blow $#!T up on reaction.
if i use Dorm second, and have Skrull at the back… who should be on point? because both Skrull and Dorm are pretty poor assist characters and will likely provide very poor support to the point man.
if you (or anyone) could suggest a pretty strong team that includes both Skrull and Dorm, that’d be pretty great.
I think that, when skrull is on point, he plays completely differently from anchor skrull. The important thing to remember is that stone dunk is, if you can space it right, a really broken normal that can be abused with the right assists. Its only weakness are really fast air normals like vergil’s helmet breaker, and air throws. Dark hole comes out really fast, and can stop people from throwing you during its startup. I need more time to mess with it, but I think if skrull is in back, you would want a character who can zone in the front (doom, magneto, any keepaway character), and if skrull is in the front then you want wesker in the back for a powerful anchor and for combo extension. again, I’m tooling around with sentinel and dormammu in the middle for my skrull point wesker anchor team, so I’ll write back when I get a better feel for it. I don’t know dormammu on point really at all yet xD
OH! and it’s worth noting that if dormammu DHCs and kills with stalking flame that you can set up all the spells you want, fo free! ;3
I’m trying out Skrull as a Frank West setup, and right now I’m testing Skrull/Frank/Ammy. Not a bad combination. Orbital brudge lets Frank relaunch without a ground bounce, and can get Frank easy 900k damage when he’s level 5. I’m newish to Skrull, tried him in vanilla mostly, so my Skrull’s shite. I once used him with Haggar, but he was an assist, mostly.
Anyone with Skrull experience know some good uses of Skrull with Ammy’s ice?
Skrull/Doom/Dorm is pretty solid. Dark Hole: Keeps pile bunker safe in case you should crossup and whiff it, leaves you with enough advantage (if your opponent blocks orbital grudge) to mixup L and Elastic (if they pushblock orbital then dash Elastic M or H, or you can even mix Rolling Hook and Rolling kara slam), and be used to lockdown incoming characters except those w/ air dash or invincible air hypers. As far as Doom’s assists they were already explained in this thread and I even quoted them a page or two back. I’m leaning towards plasma beam but you can choose w/e 1 fits your playstyle. If you like to abuse safe Mass Change w/ Dorm then Plasma, if you wanna rushdown w/ Dorm then Rocks, or if you like chips ahoy and extending Dorm’s bnb pick Missiles.
Hey guys, I’ve been lurking these forums for a while now and I’ve been wondering:
How is the synergy between Task/Skrull/Akuma? I’ve been using OG assist as the Get Off Me assist for Tasky and of course Tatsu for pressure. I just wanted some input to see if I should change the order around and shit.
Well you can play it Task/Skrull/Akuma or Skrull/Task/Akuma; Task and Skrull have good synergy as you can see from DJ Houshen and Shiro. Tatsu assist turns Skrull’s f+H_d/f+H into leathal weapon especially if f+h hits the assist too, leads to f+H+tatsu, rolling hook, meteor smash, inferno xfc stone smite, S, j.S, meteor smash, which should kill off both characters. Vergil should fit, maybe Vergil/Skrull/Dorm, slash/orbital or stone smite/dark hole?
