Do we know the properties of his physical assists? Are either of them soft knockdowns? Wall bounces? Ground bounces?
So he doesnt have an OTG assist? darn, that makes him a lot harder to use for me… Wishing he just had Camera as an assist…
Going to go well with zebra chris
Might go with chris/frank/arthur
Zombie killing and all that
it works because the cart super wallbounces a juggled opponent, not a floored or grounded one, giving frank more time to take a photo.
in any case, i’ll reiterate, deadpool, amongst others, is a good option.
happy happy trigger does 80 hits mashed; deadpools combos pre-happy happy trigger can get within the 15-20 hit mark…include assists if beneficial; dhc into shopping cart rush will get frank over the 100 exp point mark; take photo; lvl5; profit.
deadpool also gives a low assist for hard-to-blockables. tron should still do bucketloads of hits (we’ll see just how much in ultimate if she can mash lunchtime super) and has boulder assist. akuma does ~98 hits alone with barrage super and has tatsu assist, etc, etc.
agreed. seems like a simple concept, but it escapes some ppl.
on the other hand, the way i see it, lvl5 is worth it simply because you might as well play the most powerful version of the character if its feasible…and its feasible.
Guys, here’s how to get from Level 1 to Level 5 with 2 bars, no drink.
If you like it, you’re welcome. If not, oh well.
EDIT: Don’t fall into the Maximillian trap of thinking ‘Getting to Level 4 or Level 5 is hard’. If a scrub like me can go to level 5 with 2 bars on Day 1, think what Frank experts can do.
Who is your assist?
EDIT: Nvm I didnt click the link. My revised question: Can you give me UMvC3? 
how?
we must be missing info. maybe the hammer ground bounce move increases exp points?
It’s an otg and a groundbounce. The bounce let him take the photo.
no. how did he get to lvl5 with only 57 hits/exp points and no drinking. lvl5 supposedly takes 100 exp points.
Because he took two photos. That’s over 100 PP.
The hits stack. The camera snap doesn’t reset the XP gain.
For eg: My first snap is when the combo meter reads 54. So now Frank has 54 exp. Dante keeps going. My second camera snap is after the ground bounce when the meter reads 57. Now Frank gets + 57 exp.
Exp: 54 + 57 = 111
Hence, Frank jumps to level 3 from the first snap, then 5 from the second one.
ah OK. i didn’t expect taking a second shot during the combo would stack the exp points.
that means it DEFINITELY works with a plethora of characters. i think everyone foresaw frank/dante thc, but i didn’t foresee it giving THAT much exp with so little effort and resources.
thanks for clearing that up.
WOah, a very simple and cheap combo into instant lvl 5 Frank with no effort, little to no creativity whatsoever used?
Now I gotta find a “meterless, corner leading, level 5, reset into anti air hyper for moar damage” combo fast, and post it here to brag and spread SMILEs into my fellow truth seekers.
I still cant believe how retardedly easy it was to get into Lvl5. And its not like Frank is crippled in lvl 1 either. Gotta always make the first random hit count.
…Strange. Does anyone hear the same silence I am? The one of so many people saying ‘i told u so’ now basically being left speechless? It is a refreshing sound, and one I will enjoy listening to for a while. The only real issues left are to build the 65% or so of meter necessary at match start to get this combo to work, and ways to open the opponent up to land that cr.L or any comparable hit to get the combo going. It looks like we’re almost ready to rock, and the game isn’t even on store shelves yet!
I’m sure it’ll be easy enough to get the meter from just doing a combo slightly harder than lmhs mmhs :P. Either through using another assist to relaunch or the qcfL links in the air should give us the rest of the meter necessary, I think. Course, testing’ll show if this is right or not.
Indeed. Or even pestering the opponent with a few thrown pies at the start of the match should help with a bit of it as well, I imagine. So that won’t be too hard as far as getting the meter goes. Opening them up will be the only other serious challenge remaining, but even that is worse on paper than it is in real life.
Wow, I totally didn’t see PP stacking coming. That changes everything, not to mention it opens a lot of team building possibilities.
Your teammate does around 30 hits and keeps them in place for a while? Yeah, now we’re BOOYAH!
As Sephi22 said, leveling frank is retardedly easy.
Personally I am looking at Frank/Dante/Nova
Cart/million dollars/Nova force THC should do a lot of hits, and if I can get in two snapshots in this combo I will level up fats for sure.
Hard to give Frank props when theres already boneheads calling him the best point character in the game. He loses that by a landslide.
At any rate, level 4 Frank looks BEEFY. So I’m keeping my eyes peeled.
exactly, this has me seriously reconsidering frank/chris. grenade launcher does some strange things sometimes, so we’ll just have to see what happens when those two team up despite it only being 4 hits. sweep combo is receiving an otg property on the machine gun portion, so maybe there’s something there as well. frank can also do some fairly high hitting combos himself in lvl1 (double paddle(?) aircombos). only experimentation will tell. i need this game pronto. OP needs to update.

frank/chris/haggar normal guys. frank/deadpool/chris…deadpool looks like a powerful partner for frank (low assist, lvl up, dhc’s, bad matchups), in addition to chris machinegun setting up crossups for both. you can opt for deadpool anti-air gun assist for bad matchups or just tag in deadpool.
