I’ve decided on having Leona and Vice on my main team. They’re both just too much fun, but I have a problem with meter management with them, so I need a 3rd character that doesn’t depend too much on Drive or Super meter. I usually have 2 possible placements in mind with my teams for variety and counter-picking sake.
I like to place Leona either in the 1st or 3rd position, because I don’t really use too much Super with her outside of HD mode, so I like to build meter with her or use her as my anchor. I need Super meter with Vice for her EX Decide, so she’s always either 2nd or 3rd in my line-up. I need a good point character, who could also work as a secondary if I choose to start Leona.
I’m deciding between Billy, Ryo, Andy, or Mai as my 3rd. Between them, who would provide the most synergy with Leona and Vice as a meter builder or secondary? Thanks
I just started playing on Monday. I’m still pretty clueless about the game, I only understand a few things about the system from playing cvs2. I’ve been using K’/Duo Lon/???, I’m having trouble picking a 3rd. I’ve been thinking either Maxima or Shen, I’d like to put a meter-hog in the 3rd spot because I find myself using very little with my first two characters. K’ and Duo Lon are both stupid safe and fun to use! I don’t really have much time to spend in training mode (my execution is piss-poor to boot) so I’d like to avoid characters that require, or benefit most from extended combos. Can anyone recommend a team that isn’t demanding from an execution standpoint, but still very strong?
Shen is a pretty strong first or last character. He’s not very demanding in terms of command execution, but a button presses might require some timing. Duolon’s not as much combo intensive as he is a mixup character. He can really just lay on the footsie pressure so that’s a good thing to keep. Personally, I play K’, Terry, and Maxima. Usually, in that order, I have a good solid character for first and a person to burn some meter. Whereas, the last character is super solid and can do a lot with drive or just huge stores of stock bars.
Maxima is definitely not execution heavy except for certain super cancels. But if that’s all you’d have to have trouble doing, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
As of right now I am running Terry/Takuma/Shen. I start off with Terry as he seems like he doesn’t need much meter beyond a little drive to be a solid character; he has some easy hit-confirms and rising tackle is pretty cool. Takuma is easily my best character what with the fireball game. I am having a hard time getting the extra great combos with the shippu kicks after cl.D, forward B so I usually just stick with cr.B’s into ex shippus. Seems like he can do a ton of damage for just a little meter. I used to start with Shen before I realized he was a regular murder machine when sitting on full meters for relatively simple execution.
I was thinking about subbing in Mr. Karate for Takuma since I love uppers, but I wonder if I should start with Terry or Karate at that point considering Karate has some great meterless options. Thoughts?
