"It's not X you should worry about - it's me!" - The UMvC3 Zero Combo Thread

IMO your team placement should be

Zero/Doom (beam)/Dante

Doom isnt that great as anchor, he needs assists.

I can’t believe you guys still think Zero/Doom/Dante is a better team order than Zero/Dante/Doom. And Doom kills with one hit from anywhere without X-Factor, so an anchor that let’s me X-Factor whenever I want without having it saved for him if good enough in my book. Maybe I still have too much MVC2 way of thinking, but that’s just me.

@Spoonuser, you play Project M, so ask anything you want ;). /stalker

just trying to loop full screen with xfactor lvl1 and 2.

That is so cool. Honestly… I’ve been playing with the idea of changing my gamertag (this one lost its novelty when I stopped playing DotA which was like 6 years ago) and I was almost 100% settled on “Ryan Raikousen” because it’s simple, incorporates my real name as well as my main, and it just sounds pretty cool but… videos like this make me feel not worthy of the name.

[details=Spoiler]Also no one can pronounce my current tag for some reason. I have heard everything from:
Ayvarice
Avarix
Avarax
Avarex
Ayvarex
Ava-rice (shortened to “Rice”)
-.-
[/details]

just because you can, :D.

so… go for it man!
Ryan Raikousen! pretty creative tag.

I would fear being called Ry-Rai or Ray Ray by having two names with the same starting sound in my GT.
Just saying…

I didn’t even think of that. The absolute last thing I want is to be called RyRy…

Spoiler

shots fired?

Next time I’m on FGTV you can hear how terribly I mispronounce your name… >.>

I seem to miss every time you’re on FGTV :frowning:

It probably doesn’t help that there’s a 3-hour time zone difference and I work early in the morning. I want to see more of that Viper/Zero stuff though.

some great zero matches there!

I’ll give you a poke on twitter next time so at least that way you can have a general time stamp of when it is. ^.^

chrisis check your inbox plz :slight_smile:

Eh, my respect for RyRy went way the fuck up when I saw him win KOF13 at WB. I’m guessing he barely plays UMvC3 anymore

I know its been said before but I was doing research and couldn’t find it, anyway: what is the best way to do lightning loop, my TKs are extremely low and fast so I’ve been just TK’ the lightning over and over instead of throwing the buster in. Is this more damage or no? I didn’t wanna practice 2-3 different ways just to find out an answer based on damage because I’m still trying to get it 100% consistant

Edit: also I was curious of what a good option for a team is that would allow me to do a decent zero combo into the lightning loop for 1 meter and do at bare minimum 1 million damage. If at all possible avoid Vergil =P

Best damage comes from pure lightnings. But not super low. you need to find the right pace that gets all/most of the lightning hits (watch combometer, if you get 2 hits per yep you are wasting your meter).
Mostly everyone finds the buster variation MUCH more consistent, and you will get much better damage than a poorly done pure loop.
Do the loop slow and keep them high. TK the motion is not necessary and may keep you doing them too fast.

Best options for damage extension have been dante, doom, vergil, sentinel. I’m sure others may work.

I play on a stickless fightstick ( see hitbox ) so i have to slow down my motions EXTREMELY slow otherwise I do everything too fast, so my already slow’d down ones are really low =P but also I don’t know how to end it with LL after using Jam Session, I can only end it in Taste the Rainbow

Any idea how to extend Zero combos with any of Wolverine’s assists? Can’t quite figure it out…

After Zero’s standard corner OTG/ Relauch((H-Sentsuizan, Buster, L-Raikousen))… Call Dante, Relaunch, M-Raikousen, Buster, L-Raikousen, Sougenmu, Lightning Loop

If you notice the combo dropping between the relaunch and Dante’s Jam Session, you are either calling Dante to late or hitting S to early. The key is to call Dante at the earliest possible time after landing from the L-Raikousen and then hit S at the latest possible time, which is right before they hit the ground.

I’ve been having the same problem. I do my TKs low and fast. This was very helpful, thank you. I play a Sentinel anchor, would you mind giving me just a basic idea of what the combo extender is? I’ve looked through the boards, but haven’t seen it.
