definitely need to test this out
if this is easy enough to pull off in lag i may need to incorporate this into my gameplay
Im trying to the Grande Launcher Sweep combo in the corner using Deadpools Trigger happy assist to hold them there. cr.H, Assist, Grande Toss M, Grenade Launcher, Flamethrower, Sweep Combo. It seems like Trigger happy just doesn’t want to hold them there long enough to get the grenade out in time to blow up. Can anyone test this? If it works I would have Chris with sent drones and an Anti-Air assist from deadpool with guns.
Oooooh. Ok, Interesting. I should see if I can figure out something cool on my team to do with this. Probably not, but who knows?
Chris + Vergil/Dante + Hawkeye/Doom
How should I set this team up? I’m trying to go for a Chris-focused zoning team. I already know how to play Vergil/Dante, and a bit of hawkeye/doom, so I’m okay with any combination. I’m just looking for the optimal one. The original idea was: Vergil for a pushback assist, and hawkeye/doom to keep harassing. But Dante might be needed for vertical control too, and besides, I liked playing dante.
From what I have been seeing in this thread, Chris/Dante with Jam Session works really well…As for the anchor, I think Doom would be a better fit because he is really good as anchor character and he has foot dive to boot…So for me it would be Chris/Dante/Doom 
I want to get other people’s opinions on this team setup (Chris/Dorm/Akuma). Chris deals a lot of damage and with Dorm’s Dark Hole, he is able to get 1.6 bars which ends with Sweep Combo into Chaotic Flame. That combo does about 920k and can be done anywhere on the screen. In terms of Akuma, I really don’t know too much but I do know that Tatsu assist would help create space for Chris and he is a really good anchor as well…So what do you guys think?
Actually, I’m also considering using Chris/ Dante (jam) / Dormammu (Dark hole). Would this work or should I just plugin vergil/hawkeye/doom in here somewhere?
Dorm is a really good anchor and from my own team comp of chris/dorm, one touch builds 1.6 bars and dhc’ing into dorm makes my combo do 900k…I am sure that doing that same combo into Dante will do similar damage. Plus you are getting that Jam Session assist which helps Chris a ton…Try both out and see which one you like the most. Both seem solid though
I STILL cannot decide which third person is ideal in this team. Have been running:
Chris(Gun) / Dante (Jam) / Sent(drones)
and it’s been working out well enough for me so far, but Sent feels like a crutch in his xfactor goodness. Been thinking of subbing in hawkeye( Greyhound ) or doom (missiles) for Sent. Any suggestion for a third person for this team? I can run Dante anchor if necessary, depending on the third character. But I want the Chris/Dante shell.
Honestly, I am not too familiar with Dante but, I would say that anybody who can benefit from Dante’s Jam Session assist, and who also has an assist that Dante himself can benefit from is where to start looking. Deadpool goes very well with Jam Session assist, and I’ve seen some sick Dante unblockable set-ups using Deadpools quickwork assist. Deadpool also has a few infinites in x-factor 3 which make him quite fun and interesting to use as an anchor.
I tried out Chris Doom Dante, with Dante running weasel shot instead of jam session for doom corner pressure. I think it’s okay, but…
Well, I think I need to give up the S.T.A.R.S man himself. I’ve used him since I started, but times have changed. I’m pretty much using three point characters (in Order:Spiderman, Zero, Chris). I used to use Chris on my old team as Point, but I had to change it up, as the other two characters weren’t working.
Now, I mostly use Chris for continuing Zeros combos and helping spidy get in. I’m thinking of, and god help my soul for doing this, replacing Chris with Wesker.
I would switch other characters, but I have so much fun playing Spidy and Zero, but Chris, he just isn’t right for me I guess.
What should I do guys? Should Chris get replaced, somehow get Chris to work, or switch the placement up?
dear god; another potential victim of global saturation. lol. but in all seriousness if thats what you feel is best to make your team work then go for it. i would probably say maybe put chris on point and zero as anchor and see how it can work for you but you gotta go with what gets you the win sometimes so if its wesker time then its just wesker time. personally i dropped wesker and picked up chris cause i got tired of all the hate mail and the same basic wesker combos that you see everywhere.
^You know, I have heard of putting Zero on anchor, but that just sounds like a gamble, Zero is a glass cannon, and a lvl 3 xfactor battle is not in his favor. I may try that out before giving Chris up, though.
Lvl 3 Xfactor speed + Zero’s normals = insane lol. But it’s hard to control him at that state and he’s still better with assists. I’m not sure about Spidey anchor, but Windzero’s team runs Chris on point and Zero second.
is it possible for a team to have, well, two points? Like switch out Chris and Zero regulary?
Yes. In fact, that’s a good strategy. Chris’ health means he can take a combo and expect to live. Then you can get him out and get a cool 300k-ish red health back. So yes, as long as you have a good assist somewhere in there, you can play effectively. Windzero doesn’t really use assists outside of combos much, so check out some of his matches and see if you can find something you like.
… I just looked up 5 different matches of Windzero, and all of them he gets wrecked in with Chris and Zero then wins with xfactor lvl 3 Jill.
If you could link me a match with him doing alot with Chris I would be apprecitive.
If you like Drones, then you can just use that to connect with Grenade Launcher. After the combo of your choice, make sure you have a ground bounce left (in the corner) and jump back while calling Drones and then shoot off an air magnum and then when you land immediately perform a flamethrower. The flamethrower only needs to be out long enough for the Drones to connect, which isn’t very long. As soon as that happens, cancel into medium grenade and then delay a little bit and cancel that into super. All hits will connect and allow you to dash up and do flamethrower into Sweep Combo for a good 1 million damage if used in the right combo with just Drones. It’s my bread and butter and allows you to have more freedom with picking your other assist, so that it isn’t specifically for combo purposes. Hope this helped.
How’s Zero/Chris/Dante? Dante seems to do a lot for both Zero and Chris, while they can both support each other, I dont know about running Dante as anchor though.
