There are so many better assists to choose from then task, definitely not an optimal choice but do whatever works for you. I also forgot to mention cold star assist is great too with my team skrull/dog/sent I have lots of mixups and gimmicks with both assists.
Haggar assist is still gong to be GDLKE just not completely invincible on startup.
Umm, no it’s not.
Please ignore this guy. Don’t run Haggar or Shuma on Anchor, pleaaaaaase! Stick with what you’re good at, it’s been proven at this point Spencer on anchor is very solid. Spencer’s slant assist also works for Skrull against incoming characters as he can but them in blockstun on entry giving Skrull time to move around or attempt elastic slam.
Good luck with Dante, he’s only going to get easier to control in Ultimate. He’s really top 3 in this game and that probably won’t change. I think being played on point fits him better than anchor but really he has too many tools to be a bad anchor. Orbital Grudge might give you a ghetto Tron assist to help in your mixups.
I’m disappointed that i started playing Skrull so late in the life of the game, but i found him much more entertaining to play with than derperine or wesker
I was just brainstorming for a team, and found one which (hopefully) won’t be completely useless in UMVC3 :
Skrull / Doom / Haggar
My basic gameplan is to call Haggar after advance guarding opponent’s mix up (should keep Haggar safe in umvc3, will have to test it out though), set up elastic slams when he’s spinning keeping skrull completely safe
If the opponent super jumps, call hidden missiles and continue to look for that elastic slam.
If I get lucky and catch a bad assist call with meteor smash, inferno dhc to sphere flame should kill most chars, can xfactor for another one, Doom with Haggar assist is just godlike, likely to be even more so in umvc3 (Doom should still be able to combo off lariat, and his keepaway is already godlike, forcing the opponent to try to get in)
Only thing I’m not so sure with is Haggar on anchor, but no other assist in the game keeps the rushdown off Skrull (which for me is the hardest thing to deal with while playing him), allowing him to be the mid range beast he is.
I’d appreciate any tips
What’s ya thoughts on Vergil - Judgment Cut/Super Skrull - Orbital Grudge/ Doom - Plasma?
Hoy Skrull boards. I’m looking for a little bit of Skrull help.
As you can probably tell from my username I like Skrull. A lot. In fact, he’s my favorite character in the game. But I suck with him. Hardcore. I’m looking to change that and so I’m trying to create a team that works pretty well with him.
Right now I’m experimenting with Skrull a/ Hulk a/ Dorm a. I’ve come up with some pretty decent ideas I think with the team, but I’d like some input.
My favorite thing I’ve come up with so far is after an elastic slam, it’s pretty easy to bait someone right into another one by not following up and instead calling Hulk’s gamma wave. It seems like people instinctively roll backward and they will, I think, always be out of range. Not blockstun = free elastic slam.
The other thing that I’ve found is that if you have Hulk on point and call Skrull just before throwing forward, Skrull will hit 100% of the time causing a wall bounce and depending on position allowing for a really easy high damage throw combo.
Anywho, any advice or ideas about this team would be nice.
While playing hulk i actually prefer his anti air assist, because it has one hit of armor, and i find it pretty useful in reset situations, since it props them up high, and lets you get your spacing right for elastic slam. Also, if called at the right time during the opponent’s rushdown it can lead to happy birthdays.
Huh. Okay, I’ll give that a shot. Other than that, you think that this team’ll work fairly well?
The only problem i see is that you don’t have a decent battery, but if you play a more reset oriented Skrull, there shouldn’t be a problem with meter for your Hulk & Dormammu
Okay cool. Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll try that all out. =D
Grudge assist could be good for Vergil teleport left/right mixups. I’m going with nova not sure which assist/skrull grudge/doom. Why did you go with beam assist? It’s good for meteor smash crossups but doesn’t hidden missiles give skrull a way to approach as well as make his specials safe? I’m leaning towards it but beam looks good too.
I chose plasma beam to cover Vergil’s teleport and Rapid Slash crossup and Skrull’s specials. Also using Grudge as a gtfo for Vergil.
I’m contemplating my new team for ultimate, hoping for some advice. I’m reasonably certain of Skrull going with Nova (anchor, grav pulse) but I’m undecided on the third. Iron Fist looks fun, if a little hard to make work, and I’ve also liked the look of Hawkeye since he was revealed, Nemesis also appeals to me somewhat, but I think he might be tough for me to use beyond the assist. I’m ruling out Doom because I never got motivated to learn anything with him, and also Hulk so I can get away from my more scrubby tendencies.
Hawkeye on point with Skrull and Nova assists would be really amazing. Fist with Skrull assist would be great in the corner but really risky to call as a get in move. Also outside of the corner I don’t think Fist would benefit from grav pulse. I say experiment with both and see what suits your style, but if you have some patience I think the team lends itself more to Hawkeye zoning.
If yo’re set on nova anchor then you need your 2nd to have an assist that covers skrull’s unsafe specials as well as benefitting from grav pulse assist. Amaterasu with cold star, dorm with dark hole, Sent with drones, And ghost rider with chain of rebuttal fit your needs well.
I’ve come up with a good online derp team I’m going to run for trolling purposes. Skrull/Sentinel/Phoenix (not Wright)
Let the salt commence.
hey, I was brainstorming some ideas about a new team last night after I got the brady guide book to no avail… I’ve been wanting to play dr. strange and superskrull together, however despite that this may be a weird composition I wanna to play it cause these are the 2 characters I have the most fun playing. Any recommendations guys?
I was in the same dilemma with my Skrull/Task, but I figured it out after just doing missions and playing with friends for a few hours. Here are a few you could try:
Phoenix Wright: Amazing assist and backed by Strange assist + Maya would make a great wall for gathering evidence. I’d love to see Skrull backed by gold press the witness.
Frank: Shopping cart is also amazing for pressure and is a good character to boot. I haven’t tried it yet but you could probably DHC Inferno into his shopping cart hyper and then camera for instant level up.
Task/Hawkeye: Both great covering projectile assists tied to great characters that fill any spot
Dormammu/Doom: Both got buffs this time around and have great assists and XF3 anchor games
P.S. I landed on Spencer and absolutely love it
Skrull is looking hot. I’ve been sharing with my roommate for vanilla but with Ultimate I might actually shell the money out for it and the guide
IronFist / Superskrull is going to be really deadly. Just gotta decide on a third and if Skrull is going to be second or anchor. Debating if I should take the plunge and learn either Dante or Doom for it or stick to more fun but less viable characters like Modok, Hulk or Thor. I’m tempted to run Iron Fist / C.Viper / Superskrull but not sure if Skrull’s assist is enough to get IF and CV started.
Skrull’s assist is pretty much Akuma Tatsu, the main thing you have to look out for is that it’s not immediately active so he doesn’t get the super armor until he’s spinning. It will work great as long as you’re not expecting Vanilla Tron assist.
Nah I more mean an assist that can really help a character like IF get in like a beam or projectile. Once IF gets in its a free Ise Loop - BNB combo finishing with hard crumple and you have time to sub out and start the loop with Skrull effectively getting skrull in untouched. Dirty!
