Man I’m not sure about putting Jill second though. If I was confident that Jill / Raccoon would be sufficient to keep my team alive I would probably choose another character for point. I wouldn’t doubt that this team would output major damage though.
This video just gave me some ideas for my Jill / Sent / RR team.
Also, I tried out all my Jill teams today. Verdicts:
Jill / RR / Ammy - I suck with Ammy. With all the stuff flying around, Doom missiles / Plasma beams, it was hard to get anything started. Even when I did the fact that cold star hit kind of at a slight angle would not be optimal for the kind of resets I like doing. I think I need to level her up, but it feels really bad right now. 1/10
Jill / Sent / RR - Still sucking with Sentinel. However getting better at assist calling and resets with this character. Sent + MGS = godlike. 4/10
Jill / IM / RR - Forgot how good this team was. Also forgot how to use Ironman. 6/10
Jill / Hawkeye / RR - This is a good sub for IM. Triple arrow is pretty good, but the DHC is ass. In any case DHC is relatively safe and I have a direct counter pick to Doom. 6/10
Jill / RR / Strider - Still my go to team. Getting wins with this team. even though I hate Strider’s damage and hitboxes. 8/10
This combos could have been more elaborate and longer but i wanted to hurry and finish and upload.
Also you can kill without using up your stored cubes at the end, and all this off a grab
Huh, interestingly enough Strider, Doom and Sentinel were the only characters I had thought of when trying to figure out how to round up that team, didnt want to use Doom in two teams though, and Sentinel lacks that upper corner coverage so I was leaning towards Strider. So I guess I will give it a try and see how they work as a team.
In case they dont work well together, what should I be looking for in Jill’s partners, like I said before Im a total noob with her, so I dont really know what her strategy or main weaknesses to cover are, so what does she need most? Like, who are her bffs and why?
Well, i’m not going into WHY she needs certain assist or why one assist is betterr then the other since that would take forever and this entire thread has the info you need, but Jill benefits from lock down, beams, and anti air assist, with beams and anti air assist being top priority.
Paulo pls! Don’t board that ship! lol just kidding. I tried Jill/Vergil a bit and that pair is very similar to Jill/Dante, except you get 1 touch kills thanks to raven spike into swords. You got safe DHCs into either characters as well. The main problem with the team though is that vergil’s only useful assist, rapid slash, pulls the opponent to far away to do anything. It might be good in the corner and GREAT for hawkeye, but not nearly as useful for jill. This is all my experience with the two anyway so you can test it out yourself and see what you think
All I know is rapid slash is useful for corner resets. You can basically force your opponent to end up in the corner off of double ground bounces and hard knock down resets since the assist pulls the enemy with vergil. Not that useful but its all I got.
I actually tried that team out for like half a day lol. I tried to place vergil on my team with strange as well. which was interesting since it was all one touch kill. I did that
while I was trying out Jill/Vergil/Strider, problem is i dont like strider that much as a character. With Vergil if you land a helm breaker you can call jills arrow kick assist
pause for a second with vergil then high time otg them and they get wall bounced, then you simply teleport back down to dash and confirm for the kill.
Kinda random side note but I’m loving my new team of Jill/Ironman/Sent. The mixups and resets are great, you can’t really use sent as a neutral game assist (well against most matchups) with Jill but the team is a ton of fun and the THC is amazing. Unibeam is easily her best beam assist.
I would have no issue using iron man if he wasn’t so awkward of a character. His beam is godly and he def wouldn’t have an issue with characters that stay on the top corners of the screen if he was an over-all better character… Maybe I should try learning him again… maybe.
Awkward is literally the perfect word to describe Iron man’s neutral game.
As for TAC I generally avoid them unless I am playing very serious. The TAC infinites aren’t very fun to have done to you, or to do to other players. I prefer to reset simply because I like playing with my food.
So you’re saying to play iron man as a keep away character? Because that honestly makes sense. His keep away tools are much better then his rush down options…
Nope, you don’t play him as a keep away character either. He’s good at preventing people from coming in, especially in 1v1 situations, but he’s not meant to be a zoner. He’s not a rush down character either. You don’t rush in like you would with Magneto. You kind of have to play him a little bit like Nova.
Yeah hes like modok to a degree except modok can lame tony out lol, and his zoning tools are much better. He has unblockables he can set up by himself and his rush down is better.
I couldnt help but notice alukard getting salty and picking vergil/wesker/ironman lol. I still got love for him though. I like his team.
hes got godlike normals. Hes kinda got to play a hybrid zoning with his normals / rocket / TK unibeam / Repulsar then transition into conservative rushdown behind his assists. IM can cover his assist calls really well for the most part. TK Uni and M/H Repulsar are amazing for that. I used to play IM a lot. Alukard has arguably the best IM. Him and Danke. Joker HAD a really good IM, but he dropped IM and is playing Zero now.
