Magneto would build meter the fastest with all those heavy button presses.
I don’t think there is a rushdown in this game as sick as C. Vipers.
Don’t really have a Keepaway favorite, Dorm’s keep away is bad without an assist, but Modok and Hsien-Ko’s is pretty legit. I’ll take the safe choice and just say Doom, because he can use missles, rocks, beam, and plasma shot to control the ground and the air collectively better then anyone.
No character in this game eats meter like Phoenix, but I’d put Viper or Akuma as a close second. Honorable mentions to Joe and Skrull here.
Best battery, I’d personally vote for Wesker, though I know a few people might contest that.
Magneto is really good at building meter but since his level 3 is so good, I don’t know how much I’d use him to build meter for a second character. I don’t play Magneto right now though, so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.
Trish and Morrigan for keepaway.
As far as characters who eat meter, Morrigan, Felicia and Dormammu.
I’ll probably change my thoughts on this a little later when I’ve had a chance to actually sit down and think about it.
On my team X23 is basically just nothing but rushdown trying to kill you with mix ups and DHC 100 percent glitch. I basically want to kill you on the first touch if you have a lot of health or do a reset then kill you with another combo to level 1 if you have low health.
Wesker is basically battery with high damage out put. He can rushdown but only if u find a really good opening. Without the ability to air dash or quickly crash back to the ground from the air in a diagonal direction he has to build offense through his keepaway. Which is fine cuz gun does hard attack damage on hit and goes into combos does like 50k chip.
Doom would basically fit inbetween Battery and Keepaway. Builds the most meter of any character in the game if he puts you in the corner and his H plasma beam gives him like a 1/4th meter on hit or at least a 1/5th or so still on block. Hidden missles saves him from getting comboed when he throws 2 or 3 out on point. On anchor though it really isn’t too important for him to have meter because a backthrow = death as long as you have one meter.
Sentinel’s keepaway is actually very good. I feel like people tend to forget this since Sentinel has a lot of trouble with other keepaway characters. But if Sentinel is up against a character he can zone, he does so very well. Spit spit drones is hard to get around for characters who don’t have a teleport or a superior projectile. His spits also have high priority for a projectile, only a few things can trade with them or beat them.
This. Hulk usability as a character greatly decreases without assists. No unblockable setups. Only mixup is j.S but any retard can see that coming from miles away. All he has going for him is kara into command grab
Arthur is a bitching anchor with Gold Armor + XF3. The opponent wasting his XF before Arthur comes out + mid/full screen distance usually means an OCV. 1 ground blocked Lance = death, 1 Lance connecting = death, Golden Arrows make approaching hard, and chaining Bracelets are easy when he’s last.
Also, it is very possible to make Arthur the meter-hog for the team. Using Gold Armor, having it break, and restoring it takes 3 meters.
Viper only has 1 long range skill and she seems more rushdown to me, also considering the fact that i never see viper and i can’t use her. I’m just gonna keep her in rush down
also, after thinking about it she hulk is a great anchor and battery, although would you agree that magneto and wesker would still fit the battery role better? I’m not gonna put her in rushdown though, she’s not as quick as other characters combo-wise, at least that’s waht i think (i’;m a newb)
and by all around i meant characters that can keep away, and play offensive, not considering the meter whore and battery aspects
spiderman is currently one of the hardest hitting characters in the game. His bnb off c.lk is 722,000 1 bar and he’s also a pretty formidable mixup character. Thats no xfc by the way, thats just a flat out bnb combo.
spidey is retarded in xfc lvl 3, great battery, decent zoning game.
that webzip thing is probably one of the best hit boxes in the game. Its detached, you can never take it out. It leads to 700,000+damage on hit, +17 on block iirc and it always gives you a mixup. One of the best things about it though is that if you jump around with spidey and the opponent tries to call helpers to take you out, webzip will pretty much stuff almost all the assists in this game. Also, the webzip allows spidey to reach a SJ playing field while having NJ properties. He can dodge a shit load of zone on the ground with nj.upfwd webzip, reach his peak height, call assists.
He’s a pretty good character but I don’t think anyone has found the ideal team for him yet which is why I think people have him ranked so low. He’s really not that bad.
