Venom -a-/Doom -b-/Cyke -a- is one ov my preferred teams here, as Venom is decent on point with both an assist to trap/lock as well as one to prevent rushdown…and ppl underestimate Venom’s zoning capabilities…Blackheart is also an option here to replace Venom…
Other teams I would use as far as the God 4 being gone is concerned are:
-Clockwork (my preference I either start with BH or end with Cyke…I can’t use Cap for shit…but I wouldn’t use Strider much cause he BLEEDS!!)
-Spiral/BH/Doom
-Cyke/BH/Doom
-Team Z (Juggz/Doom/Tron)
IM/WM is just lazy…but whatever it takes to win…
And as far as Spiral vs Strider is concerned…you can’t really compare the 2 as they both have different approaches to their strats…they both play differently trap-wise as well as when they’re rushing down (ZOMG rushdown Spiral!!)…
So like…I was thinking, i believe I even mentioned BH/doom and keepaway shit like that, as when you take away true punishment (mags) the keepaway chars gain alot.
After messing with chun li, i seriously think she could take BH teams. Chun = Iron Guy with better resets. Some of the resets and shit that ive been coming up with off the top of my head, I can only imagine the shit that ppl will be doing with her a year or so down the road. Chun/Psy is a F*ing beast, no 2 ways about it.
I mean, her ground inf alone is like hella damage that works on almost every char. Toss that in with mad walk speed, the best tic throw potential ive seen from anyone outside mags, unrollable inf outta wall throw, inf outta midscreen throw + assist, shes just broken. Even if someone techs your wall throw its like easy mode guard break if you have psy.
If we get to the point where we play chun crazy aggresive + crazy safe like mags and iron guy, even minus zoning issues, with a good lockdown assist, and psy for easy mode guard break to inf, she is a low tier god.
Just though id mention it, chun li overload in the past weekish.
Now that team would seriously be F*ing shit up in a low tier tourney. :woot:
We need to have some casual play when you come down for FR. Must…learn…marvel gief…from…someone, please…:wonder:
I don’t think anyone is going to argue against morrigan ron being the best low tier duo so the best low tier team might revolve around them. Unless someone can put up a decent argument on why another duo is better.
chun\morrigan ron
ruby\morrigan ron
charlie\morrigan ron
etc…
on certain forms of hit stun and mashed properly, morrigan DHC in qcf+pp will do 40-50% life. Thats just retarded because DHC’s are supposed to be nerfed up damage wise.
Morrigan+Tron Soul eraser combo does about 60-70% damage.
If you’re not going by ratio system, I think Cammy+Tron is a stronger duo. Higher damage output for far less effort. I personally think Cammy would be top tier if her KBA didn’t fail randomly.
I think she’d be CLOSE to top tier if her KBA didn’t fail randomly, but she still has a few other quirks that also need addressing: her KBA is vulnerable during startup (it should be completely invincible, which would also allow her to do cannon spike xx KBA during AHVB) and her other supers need to do a lot more damage.
Anyway, one of my favorite teams of 2006 was morrigan/cammy/tron, but since then I’ve replaced morrigan with Strider. I just find him to be much more reliable in top tier matchups.
Cammy works well with morrigan’s projectile assist believe it or not because the bubble follows so closely with her cannon drill…
since when is spiral and BH low tier? those guys are fucking god like. They may not be top but i’ll be damned if they can’t wreck some of the other characters easy.
I watched VDO play wolvie\wolvie\ken AA and he was cleaning up shop. That shit is really good team. I have yet to see speed up wolvie ron combinations seriously yet. Most people don’t know that team can’t be push blocked when wolvie has speed up. He gets free hits over and over behind tron with 50\50. Very cheap
Don’t know that much about iceman but I’m cheap so i’ll probably pick iceman ron\xxx
as for gambit, gambit\capcom has some awesome shit about it. Most of the time if your opponent is using tops vs your low, they’ll either run or attack and mando suits both of those roles fine. CH launcher, call mando, sj.lp, sj.mp, sj.fp does awesome life. There are tons of gambit teams you can run but I would pick something like gambit\ruby\capcom. With gambit\ruby, you can do c.lk, c.mk, c.rh, call ruby AA, flash kick and get a cross up off ruby AA then land a combo into FS, and setup it up again. The setup itself is safe on block so its no big deal if they block it. Not to mention that ruby AA is amazing and ruby on point with both of those helpers would be nasty. Shit, mando with both of those helpers would be nasty.
Gambit ron combinations are also pretty solid. Something like gambit\morrigan ron is really good or you go the justin K way and pick gambit\morrigan\sonson iirc or justin W with gambit\morrigan\cyke.
Some people say tron is too cheap but if you’re playing bums vs tops, its not fair to begin with.
