I didn’t even know who Josh Wong was before I came here =P I honestly wouldn’t have been as hyped about Marvel if Felicia didn’t make it to the roster so quickly.
Now I feel like a dick-rider. I wanted to try something like Felicia/Dante/Taskmaster, which I believe is Josh Wong’s old team. I think he ran it in a different order though.
Also, am I crazy for wanting to run Felicia on point? H-Arrows with Jam Session seem like they’d make her hard to deal with. I don’t really think that running Dante on point for Rolling Buckler unblockables is necessary, since Dante is already a walking unblockable.
I just think that Felicia is a lot like Wesker. She pretty much works out fine in any slot, but I think that she’s a lot scarier with full support.
Hi ^^
My team is Felicia / Jill / Trish and i’m working on some strategy.
Trish can be good for help Felicia in defense
Jill can be good to extend combo after the toy touch with her 2 assist which can bounce the opponent.
Trish assist (gamma) can be good in offense to help felicia move forward though i don’t like this assist for the moment.
Jill gamma assist is nice in crossover counter but the two other assist can help Felicia in defense too. Alpha can go other low attack from your opponent (exemple a far slide expected from She Hulk. Beta assist can be good versus some small jump from your opponent (taskmaster)
Alright guys, I need some opinions.
I’ve been wanting to run Dante/?/Felicia (mosty likely that order, though it can move around) for a while now, but I’m not sure who to put into that spot. Dante, obviously, works great with Felicia’s low assist. However, for a second character, I was wondering if I needed another character who really uses the low assist well, or if I should find another character to do a different job, like zone well.
Something else I was considering was if it was really important for Dante to be able to DHC trick into the secondary person. He does plenty of damage, and I’m pretty sure there’s potential for “unblockable resets” with Felicia that may make the DHC trick not as useful here. That, and I don’t know how important it should be that the other character start the DHC trick and have Felicia on the receiving end. I can really only handle Felicia when she’s got Level 3 X-Factor, and her “ending DHC trick” damage isn’t that great.
So far, my main considerations are Taskmaster for his use with Felicia’s assist and receiving end of the DHC, Sentinel for his awesome assist and DHC, Zero for his DHC from Dante and pretty good DHC into Felicia, and then…Magneto, Wesker, and Wolverine, for being Magneto, Wesker, and Wolverine. (Though if I pick Magneto, I may go Magneto/Dante/Felicia to DHC trick through the whole team). I’m not sure if Wolverine really benefits much from Felicia though, nor Wesker.
So, thoughts, or am I on my own here?
I wanna say add Sentinel to the team only because my team is Dante/Sentinel/Felicia. Not only because his assist is so good, but his standing M, jump H, and Jump S can easily connect to an opponent after using Felicia’s low assist. Also, whenever people see a giant robot either jumping or flying, they tend to block high and completely forget about the incoming Felicia low attack. You don’t even need to attack at the same time as Felicia’s assist hits; you can wait after it hits and go for jump S.
Still, Taskmaster and Magneto are also excellent candidates.
Honestly, Dante Taskmaster Felicia is the best team that doesn’t have Magneto/Akuma/Wesker/Phoenix/etc in them LOL
Felicia benefits from both Dante and Tasky’s assists, so you don’t feel like having her as anchor or decide to bring her out (out of pure confidence lololol) then you have Jam Session and Arrows that will help her get in with ease.

Hi CrispyTacoz, i saw your match yesterday versus Filipino Champ. Very nice Felicia you showed in the last match. I like your order too.
I was amazed by the way you handle Phoenix with Felicia !

Yeah, that was pretty legit.
On a related note, does anybody have any tips on how to utilize Felicia’s assist well with Dante? I’m not exactly sure when to call her and when to teleport.
Don’t think you teleport (or need to), you just jump and air dash since it’s a high/low “unblockable” it doesn’t matter if you’re behind them in relation to Felicia.
I figured the point of the teleport was to negate pushblock.
That’s kind of what I’m wondering, because it’s hard to just call Felicia and jump at them, in my opinion. I’ll try that out, though. I suppose you can do Stinger > Bold Cancel > (Airdash) high attack.
From what I’ve seen that’s all they seem to do, call and jump at them Dante covers a lot of distance with his air dash and j.H has pretty massive range. I believe Tacos does it in that match against Champ.
I did pull off the unblockable in the match, and come to think of it, the teleport DOES negate the pushblock. Either way you are gonna get popped by Felicia’s foot or Dante’s sword even with push blocking because of her unique 2 hitting properties along with Dante’s teleport ALWAYS teleporting behind them.
Been using Felicia / Doom / Dormamu lately and its been working really really well, been trying to switch doom and magneto around to see which works better of the to but i think i prefer doom in the team (beam or missles works really well) and dark hole for dormammu traps the opponent really nicely for mixups and such
Main team is Felicia/Wesker/Akuma
This team really doesn’t feel right for Felicia, she feels really out of place compared to Akuma and Wesker. Felicia is my starter and when she is out there it feels like she is her own team. Having trouble ‘syncing’ her with Wesk-ma. I’m wondering whether to stick to them or explore other combinations (that involve only characters I personally know and love).
Wanting to fool around with a pure Darkstalkers team. Or even Felicia and Trombone~.

Meh…I feel like too many of you guys are running Felicia in that battery/point spot where she struggles to get in or be scary in general. Give the girl some level 2 or 3 XF.
Vierran with your team I would suggest Wesker up front since he has a bigger health pool and can build up meter for Felicia since he isn’t reliant on his supers and more just on resets and meter build. Plus Felicia gives you a safe DHC with kitty helper if Wesker somehow gets into a bad situation. Plus rolling buckler gives Wesker handy unblockable high+low setups and left right mix ups at the same time when you get close. This is all while still having Akuma’s projectile invincible assist to burrow you in through advance guards and projectiles also.
Putting Felicia second gives her just one real strong lockdown assist which is all she needs to start devastating mix up. Plus it gives you the ability to start using Felicia’s dangerous level 2 XF which alone is enough to tear through teams especially with kitty helper once you get people in the corner. She has a ton of special moves that kill advance guard and with the speed increase it won’t be as easy for people to just run away from you. If you get near them just run the L command grab and follow up with combo into super or go for a reset if you wanna safe meter. If you wanna save the XF for level 3 Akuma you can always do that also depending on the scenario.
Took your advise to heart and played a couple of matches with Wesker leading. It feels much better than when I started with Felicia. It feels like Wesker warms me up nice and quick without having to die so fast, so by the time Felicia comes in, I feel in tune with her enough to pull off some Kitty pwnage~.
Overall it feels more ‘right’, thanks for the advise~!
I’ve been having a lot of fun with Haggar (Lariat)/Felicia (Buckler)/ Akuma (Tatsu) for the last few months and have been actually doing much better than I expected.
I understand that Haggar isn’t the best point character, it’s a casual team so I mostly keep him there out of love, but I tend to have a better matchup against many top tiers point characters, almost entirely because of the pipe it seems. Basically I’ll just zone with the pipe and use Tatsu assist to help Haggar get inside (zoners can be pushblocked into the corner thanks to Haggar’s high hp, and ability to wavedash, and if he still has a hard time, Rolling Buckler as a Crossover Counter can net a free combo against certain projectiles) and play a mixup game, try to land a hit and turn it into a DHC glitch into Kitty Helper to finish off their point.
After the first character is dead, I try lock down the incoming character with Kitty Helper+Lariat and go to town. Even a random Lariat hit can lead to damage since she can otg Toy Touch xx j.M j.M j.H j.S, land, st S, air series into otg+Tatsu assist, Cat Spike for the ground bounce into whatever finish, PHM or Dancing Flash into another reset, jab into reset, whatever. Her air grab is pretty damn good. If they crouch the Lariat you can command grab or create an unblockable if Kitty Helper is still out.
Again this is just a fun team and I’m a bit of a low execution player, so I’m sure some changes could make this idea a little more viable, maybe Jam Session over Tatsu for the guaranteed corner stuff? Regardless, Felicia+Haggar are looking like BFFs to me, I will really miss that hard knockdown on the assist
I’ve been contemplating going from Trish/Wesker/Mags to Trish/Felicia/Mags in UMvC3. I have two different ways to set up Round Harvest unblockables with that set up (which is great, I sport serious wood for that hyper). I can either hard tag Magneto in and do an unblockable with Felicia’s assist, or just DHC from Harvest into Kitty Helper and do an unblockable that way…
Only issue is that I’m getting kind of tired of Magneto tbh, but Disruptah is SO damn good it’s hard to justify taking him out, and Felicia definitely needs a good cover assist IMO (and Trish’s Low Voltage is meh).
Disruptahhhh is bad in Ultimate though. Magneto overall isn’t as powerful as he was in Vanilla. I’d rather have anchor Wesker than anchor Mags for Ultimate.
W
well in regards to Wesker, Trish/Felicia don’t really need OTG assists and with Rolling Buckler assist I really just have no use for Samurai Edge. And Disruptah may be worse in Ultimate but it’s still a beam assist so it’s not like it’s “bad” lol. I’m still reserving that anchor slot until we get to see the last four character reveals, I’m pretty hyped for all four of them so yeah
