yes, my brothers, join the darkside and kill people off of throws, slap and slice people, and make salt happen with the nonsense that is Magneto/Vergil/Doom (aka team s0viet)
who other than Magneto is godlike with Drones? i find that the biggest problem with Magneto/Drones teams is that nobody goes with Drones like Magneto does (except for Iron Man, but he’s ass)
i know that Drones are generally good for any character, but who can call them their optimal assist?
btw Magneto Morrigan Doom is probably in contention for best team in the game, but i refuse to play that bitch Morrigan
Dante, Zero, and Spencer are both pretty awesome with Drones, I don’t know about optimal though. Dante’s best assist is Vajra but Drones is probably 2nd. Zero’s best assist is Jam Session but Drones is probably second for him as well.
Magneto/Dante/Sentinel is still IMO the best Mag/Sent shell in terms of matchups, answers, and tools, but I’m starting to feel the lack of damage output.
Morrigan is fun 
nova, doom, ryu, wesker aint too bad, viper, captain america, wolverine, hulk, skrull, assmaster, storm, modok, dormammy. drones assist is just really, really good lol
is that mag/dorm/doom team still , let’s say , top 5 for Magnus or even in general? seems like you guys are mentioning more viable teams here then that team lol.
It’s a good team but it needs momentum to really dominate, and killing Magneto makes that momentum really hard to reestablish. It’s great for maintaining a lead though.
Magneto/Morrigan/Doom and Magneto/Doom/Vergil in some configuration are the only two Magneto point teams I think are tippy top tier teams.
mag, doom, akuma for one of the best offensive teams imo 
what? you can hit 1.1mil from any starter.
Oh I didn’t mean for Magneto, that comment was more reserved for when Dante is on the field. I’m finding it pretty hard to hit 1,000,000 with a combo that I’m comfortable with landing 100% of the time, I always get right below it. Not killing Spencer and Wesker is not fun.
probably will get some slack for this, but i’m now running Mags, Morrigan, sent, yh it should be doom I know, but I got a soft spot for sent and I genuinely enjoy playing him given all his bad matchups, and the more i’m learning about morrigan the more i’m lovin this team, her mobility is boss. for me personally this is the 1st team i can honestly say I don’t get that “lets restart the match” feeling when 1 of them gets put down lol
Settai’s ran that team since month 1 of Ultimate, I think it’s a good team but Missiles just…does so much for her even though I love playing Sentinel and hate playing Doom.
I’m considering dropping ammy and picking up Vergil or someone else. Honestly ammy’s just not my type of character and having cold star is nice for doom but I mainly use her for the THC. I’d rather just have 2 point characters with doom anchor or a different support for doom.
I love Mag/Doom but just can’t settle on a third.
probably try the following in the next few weeks…
mag/dorm/doom - I already play this team on the side but might spend some more time learning dormammu better
mag/doom/vergil - that cheap shit, just need to learn sword loops. I like Vergil but feels like I’m selling out haha
mag/zero/doom - saw Chris Schmidt running this on FGTV and it looks fun, but I’ve never tried zero and he looks like a serious time committment
wesker/mag/doom - I’ve never actually seen anyone play this but it sounds like it should work okay and be pretty fun, wesker gets beam assist and mags gets missiles, everyone’s happy. Not the cheapest team but I do enjoy me some wesker.
Also trying to learn Dante at a basic level just so I can run Jam Session on my Wolverine team, that assist is too godlike XD
I think Doom/Vergil is overrated. You are basically playing a point with Hidden Missiles as his only neutral assist, and playing Solo Doom who tbh isn’t that great. Dark Vergil is great and all but it’s not that much of a step up from Doom/Ammy where you can abuse that THC while giving you better neutral/mixups with Doom. I think running Vergil second is probably stronger in the long run, you get fool proof ToDs with your point character off any confirm and great safe DHCs, chip and mixup/lockdown setups with Hidden Missiles are serious business too.
Mag/Doom/Morrigan, or Mag/Morrigan/Doom is one of the best Magneto teams in the game and is worth picking up. The issue is Morrigan as a character is even more difficult than Magneto and Dante so it’ll take a while to learn, noone is using her close to her full potential, Chris G leveled up a lot but he still isn’t using all her bullshit tools. That along with Mag/Zero/Doom is one of the stronger theory Magneto teams.
All of those teams you listed are pretty solid though, and are around the same level of efficacy. Wesker does pretty well with both Missiles and Disruptor and it’s not that bad of a team, Disruptor Gunshot hitconfirms with Wesker are just too good. I like Magneto/Doom/Ammy though, and I think it’s one of the stronger Magneto teams and is very well rounded, but all those teams you listed are pretty high/top tier.
I don’t think Wesker/Missiles is very good at all; he neither abuses Missiles to a high extent nor can he protect it very well.
I think Doom/Vergil is overrated ATM but it’s more or less supposed to be played as a pseudo-Phoenix team where anchor Vergil is so busted that it’s worth putting him in the back. I don’t think anything in the game besides Dark Phoenix has the comeback potential of a XF3 DT Vergil/
I’m not really interested in Morrigan at all right now.
I think Disruptor is all Wesker really needs tbh, Missiles is just a bonus for Wesker, he can at least use it to extend combos. It’s certainly not the best team, but I think it can work.
Doom/Vergil is super popular right now, and if you watch ShadyK or PR Rog on FGTV you’ll see why. Dark Vergil is super dumb, and less of a burden than phoenix to have. ShadyK in particular always seems to be in the game as long as Vergil is alive. I’m gonna go ahead and see how it works for me personally though. I just want to find something that clicks instead of trying to force ammy to work.
I feel like Vergil is worth learning even if I don’t end up maining him, always good to have as a counterpick.
I know that Dark Vergil is dumb and is the best anchor in the game free. One of my mates runs Doom/Vergil, and nothing is scarier than a Dark Vergil after you fuck up your incoming setup and he lands.
Just I feel that the team is wasted potential considering you are playing a solo Doom, and Magnus with Missiles with Dark Vergil as a crutch. I feel that Solo Doom is not an issue and struggles vs most characters/teams, especially when Rapid Slash provides nothing for him in most matchups except incoming mixups and combo extensions. I think that Vergil/Doom has more potential, you don’t have to rely on TACs for ToDs with Magneto with Spiral Swords being your DHC, and you still get Doom raw tags off throws. Both teams are good, but I think as time goes on Vergil/Doom will be used more. Dark Vergil is scary, but Vergil with an assist is even scarier.
Disruptor is Wesker’s best assist imo, but it’s also nice to have something for lockdown and super jump height control, and Missiles provides that. It’s not optimal and he can’t protect it vs characters like Magneto with Disruptor, but he can do a decent job laming out the lower tier characters with it + gunshot. You can always go team scrub and run Wesker/Vergil/Magneto which is also a very strong team.
only thing about vergil second is that it involves giving up the corner for the kill sometimes. also, Mag, Doom, Akuma for anyone in a character crisis. try dat shit out
rapids slash has been working for me when i play mag/doom/vergil
butter gun + rapid slash gets you corner carry on block or hit and the hit is a TOD.
I’d rather run Doom/Vergil because you can still TOD off of a throw at the start of the round, it’s just harder since you have to build 2 meters in order to hit that 2nd DHC into Swords after a Sphere Flame. I just hate losing Magneto first and having to eat 5 incoming mixups afterwards with nothing to do but Helm Breaker.
Can mag/doom at least hit 1 mil with a starting combo + 1 dhc?
If so, what’s the combo? My combo is basically magic series, one magnetic blast loop, S, fly combo, land call doom, attraction, launch j.S, land H hyper grab as missiles hit > tempest, sphere flame.
Does about 920,000? for me, If I start with an IOH… Maybe I’m just being greedy but I’d at least want to be able to kill characters like spencer or taskmaster on one hit. Which I can do with Vergil second but I feel having doom second is safer for incoming purposes.
What’s a more optimized combo for mag/doom? so I don’t require Vergil to be second to be deadly.
