I’m not sure about the synergy on that team. If you have a way to utilize FoF loops off of a raw tag or something of the like, it could be worth it, but I’m no expert on such a topic so I don’t know what’s possible and what isn’t there.
As far as conversions and confirms go, my whole team has wonky conversions off of stray hits out the ass, with the exception of the Doom/Magnus pairing, which you will pretty much never be playing if you play MVD. Rapid slash makes for derpmode confirms half a screen away or more, and don’t even get me started on missiles.
If that’s the team you want to play, by all means play it! I think people should play what they enjoy playing. I just wanted to note that MVD’s ability to hit confirm and convert to TODs is second to none.
Thanks a lot for this, tried Mag Dorm Doom and it’s better, yes Also made me step up my anchor Doom game, mostly about my movement and going for some scoops in a better way for approachs.
EDIT: I don’t think how Mag Dorm Doom can be SS+++ tier in terms of teams like you said, but it’s probably one of the most versatile and space control teams in the game for sure, which guarantees some time to think against people with random behaviour.
considering a Spencer/Mags team. who should be the third…i’d rather avoid sentinel or doom. but i realize sent is probably the assist that gives this team the best assist for both characters. I’m just curious about other possiblities. ammy skrull? would either of those work with this team? Leaning more towards skrull for the extra beef and derp.
Yeah it’s a good team but it’s so momentum-based that if you can kill off Magneto, Dormammu is easy to overwhelm. Dormammu with momentum and Disruptor + Missiles is a nightmare though.
Mag, Verg, Doom feels to me to be the most optimal as well, I currently play wesker instead of doom but I’m going to make the transition soon to doom since he can do what wesker does and be a godly assist, just the fact magnes and Vergil have tod for 1 bar is so amazing, if I can learn to covert that damage off a random missile hit the sky is the limit.
Agh, I think I’m just gonna say “screw it” and pick the most MSP-y team in the game. Mag/Doom/Akuma sound good? I think I wanna try out Rocks assist, haven’t used that since Vanilla lol.
if you want to try this team out, heres some footage from a tournament i went to on saturday
UMVC3 is the last game being played
EDIT: theres more UMVC3(i think its the second game being played) and the one i mentioned was just the top 6 since i only played in top 6. and if you have any questions, dont be afraid to pm me
I honestly don’t think Magneto would be in this game’s MSP, if by MSP you mean the strongest rushdown-oriented team in the game and not just how the team is composed. Maybe something like Zero/Dante/Strider? Viper/Dante/Strider? I’d say Dante/Vergil/Magneto(or Strider) but point Dante has problems at the start of the round and requires too much patience for me to consider him a top of the class point rushdown character.
Point Magneto teams are generally too front heavy and don’t throw out a constant level of immediate danger like other top tier team compositions IMO. Not to say that they’re bad, but I don’t think they’re on the same level as say, Viper/Strider or Zero/Dante or Vergil/Strider.
There isn’t an MSP in this game. MSP was the best two rushdown characters backed up by an invincible assist that let you continue your mixups and that you can combo off of. The closest three we ever had to MSP was in vanilla, Magneto/Wolverine/Akuma.
Yeah that was exactly what I thought when I ran Magneto/Wolverine/Akuma in vanilla. Even then, that team wasn’t as strong as shit like Dante/Haggar/Phoenix.
That would be MSP if Magneto and Storm shared the same roles they did in MVC2 but they don’t in this game. MSP is like best rushdown/best all around/best rushdown assist so…Zero/Viper/Strider? Zero/Viper/Missiles? Things function alot differently in this game so lots of stuff from MVC2 don’t really translate.
yh I’ve dabbled with morrigan, pretty nice so far, still learning her movement, Vergil my brain can’t let go of preconceived attack patterns lol, i can’t seem to be random enough to use him lol
How do you guys feel about Team doctors? Mags/doom/strange? Or should i stick to Mags/Task/Doom?
I’d play mags/vergil/doom, but mags/vergil is made of glass… especially with vergil incoming with no double jump/airdash outside of DT… who knows maybe ill go back to MVD if i can figure out how to use Rapid slash with mags’ neutral game.
mag/doom/strange sounds god like actually. it’s really similar to nova/strange in it that you have a high mobility point character in neutral with bolts assist and lockdown/combo extension with missiles. you should also play mag/vergil/doom since that team can ToD almost if not all of the cast needing only a bar to start, plus all the mix ups you can create with missiles and rapid slash is just too good to pass up which is why i also play this team.
Also made me step up my anchor Doom game, mostly about my movement and going for some scoops in a better way for approachs.
