???/Ghost Rider/Vergil

Dropped Wesker cause he was getting hella-boring so I need some help finding a replacement. Help would be appreciated.

Seedl, If you were to go GhostRider/Deadpool/Vergil that would be a strong team. People are forced to eat overhead into combo if you have quick work assist with Deadpool. It forces the opponent to chicken block the entire match, or eat huge damage. Plus, the first two characters dont need to use much meter, enabling them to save meter for Vergil who needs it badly.

Hey, Im fairly new to this forum, but have been a long time mvc player. For UMVC3 my current team is Dante on point, Wolverine and Wesker. Not a huge fan of Wesker, but LOVE his OTG assist. I occasionally swap out Wolverine for Nova. I guess my questions are will this team work? And should I move Wolverine to point and Dante as a secondary? Any random advice on improving my team will be helpful. Thanks guys.

Wolverine on point is better for this team. Wolverine’s assists don’t offer much to Dante but Dante’s assists are great for Wolverine’s crossup tricks. It’s also easier to DHC from Wolverine to Dante than the reverse because midscreen Million Dollars will put the opponent too far away. Wolverine will also usually get more mileage out of level 1 XF if you’re willing to spend it early. If you’re not a huge fan of Wesker you could get away with switching him for Nova too. He’s not a bad anchor and offers some great assists.

Thanks AvariceX. This is very helpful. I wouldn’t say I’m not a fan of him, I’m pretty solid with him, but get a lot of hate cause he’s my anchor. I mainly keep him around cause his OTG assist is very key to my combos. I’m decent with Nova and still learn. I’m try to build a team with 3 point characters instead of 2 and 1 assist to be completely honest. What assists would you reccommend for him? I used Gravimetric Pulse and Centurion Rush, but not intelligently, kinda just throw them out randomly.

Hey guys I’ve recently picked up UMvC3 and this is my first verses game. and I’m having issues figuring out a team

The 3 character I’m really liking so far are Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, and Frank West. but I’m not sure if the synergy would work for the 3 of them together as a team. but i haven’t played real people yet so i could be wrong about all this

IF and FW could work but with GR as 3rd then I’d be lacking in multiple areas. not a good approaching assist for frank, can’t seem to find a way to quickly get FW to lvl 4. super jumping zoning characters could have a field day with my team as well.

GR and FW could work 2 i guess. but still not sure who would make a good 3rd and how i’ll pull off getting FW to level 4 quick with GR on the team

if this helps, here is a list of the other characters i’ve found i like. but not quite as much as these guys (except maybe RR is i can learn him)

Rocket Raccoon
Ammy
Ryu
Akuma
Spencer
Strider
maybe Doom, is style is cool but i’m having issues getting used to the tricky movement.

although i’m still new so i might grow to like some of the other characters like V. Joe, Tron, or Nova.

tl;dr I’m trying to figure out a team that will use Iron Fist and Frank West. or Ghost Rider and Frank West.

My team right now is trish(air trap), arthur(daggers), an fireband,( demon missle m). Im using trish as a rush down using arthur dagger to cover me and firebrand for more of a full screen assist. I was wondering what people think of the team synergy out are there better people that component trishple that compliment trish more?

The template I’m using is Nemesis [launcher slam], character X, Strider[Vajura].
Besides Hawkeye, who do you think I should use in the middle?

I’m thinking…
Spencer, Hulk[gamma wave], Zero [but would put him first since I’d try to combo into something that would let me otg a Sougenmu into Nemesis and use his projectile or uppercut assist in that state], Hsien-Ko [See Zero], Felicia, Amaterasu, Doom, MAYBE Sentinel, or Wesker.

-Spencer would be there to kill anyone Nemesis can’t
-Hawkeye would be the best character IMO, so I’m possibly excluding discussion about him for now
-Amaterasu would be rediculous in a team like this

Any other character mentioned has to have 2 or more of the following…
1]An assist that helps Nemesis and Strider
2]A good zoning capablility, or a good way to easily defeat zoners
3]Excellent DHC Synergy both ways between Nemesis and Character X, and hopefully with Strider as well.

If I can’t find a team I like, I’m using Nemesis, Spencer, Hawkeye, or Nemesis, Hawkeye, Character X.

I’m thinking Ironfist, Sentinel, Hawkeye, Storm, or Nemesis. I don’t know how well Ironfist will work with these guys though. The only flaw with Nemesis and Wesker, is that Wesker’s DHC into Nemesis is too unstable and thus useless. If you choose Nemesis, the order should be Nemesis[Launcher Slam], Wesker, Strider. This team is nuts.

Hey guys I’m working on a team for Mr. Agent Smith aka Wesker. I want my format to be Wesker/assist that can lock down for mixups/Doom. Now I’m wondering, what would be the best character for this?

Nova/Ghost Rider/Nemesis I do switch Ghost Rider for Frank West sometimes

Nova - Centurion Rush.
Ghost Rider - Chain of Rebuttal/Heartless Spire.
Nemesis - Launcher Slam/Rocket Launcher Great against Sent/Doom assist.
Frank West - Shopping Cart.

Nova - I’ve got Flight/Rocket Punch Loop combo’s down.
Ghost Rider - Still trying to incorporate both ground bounces from assists to combos.
Nemesis - Still trying to learn his relaunch and his kara-cancel tentacle slams
Frank West - I just dont know how to get in.

Any tips, advice, strategies ill gladly take.

@Jeweles I can’t say much except give you some stuff for Frank. Of course, getting in with him will be a difficult task, so unless you can help cover his approach with something like a beam assist, or Sent’s drones, you actually want to do the opposite. You want to get your opponent in while you chicken block, throwing air.M out. Once you confirm, get the combo going and get him as high as possible.

Now, I want to get into two teams here, I’ve already developed my main team, and I want to get into a secondary ā€œfunā€ team.

Main Team: Wesker (Samurai Edge)/Taskmaster (Horizontal Aim Master)/Vergil (Rapid Slash)
Now I’ve pretty much got synergy done (kudos to a 2/3 trenchcoat team), Taskmaster’s there to make Wesker’s and Vergil’s teleports safe. I can use Vergil to slow down rushdown if I feel like zoning with Taskmaster. I don’t use Wesker’s assist that much due to hitstun scaling and OTG’s already capable to the other two. Does anyone think that it would be safe to go for one of the other two assists or should I stick to Samurai Edge? Last thing is, is there a gameplan or two I should commit with this team? Other tips, advices, strategies are appreaciated.

Secondary Team: Jill (???)/Frank (Shopping Cart)/ ???
After watching the combo video on Jill’s page on the guide, I really like to see the full synergy between her and Frank. But it seems that Jill’s Arrow Kick assist has been changed into a soft knockdown, so I can’t do double snaps with Frank, unless that information is wrong, which assist should I go with her? Lastly is to solve who should/possible be for the third slot on the team. I’m contemplating on Sentinel with Drones, but I feel uneasy about him being anchor.

In vanilla I used a shulkie/tasky/spencer team. I used it since day one, I swear I didn’t rip off combofiend (although I did steal some of his tactics after I saw what he was doing).

I’m trying to come up with a new team composition since Shulk just doesn’t feel the same and lost a lot of the tricks she had.

So far I’m sticking with Spencer and Task as I consider myself pretty solid with both of them, and for the third slot I’ve picked up Skrull which is a character that I always wanted to use.

My line-up right now is Spencer(slant)/ Tasky (horizontal)/ Skrull (stone smite)

Although each character is very strong individually i kinda feel the team lacks sinergy, as in the dhc’s transitions don’t always fit and neither of Skrull’s assists seem to help the other two.

Other characters I feel confortable with are:

  • Cap
  • Wesker
  • Akuma
  • Iron Fist (found this guy fun as hell but he seems to need a real strong assist to open things up for him)
  • Wolvie

Any advices on what can I do get the best out of my team? Or perhaps change any character?

Well most anything benefits from having Sentinel drones behind it, I can’t imagine you’d want to have him on any other assist. I’m not familiar with Firebrand’s assists and so can’t comment there.

I intend to try out a Spidey/Deadpool/Iron Man team–ideas for what order to run them in and what assists to use? Unibeam seems like a given for IM’s assist but I’m really unsure on the other two and the order I should use them in (none of them seem like good anchors).

I’ve been trying to make a pretty basic Frank-esqe team. Way i have it set up now is: Cap’n on point (Shield Slash), Frank (Wal-mart), and Dorm (Dark Hole). If I get a hit with Cap i can get ~30 hit combo with Dorm assist and a TAC tag into Frank.

Really like Frank and was wondering if anybody else had suggestions for better ways to possibly DHC or just a flat out better combo builder to use.

P.S. I really don’t want to use Wolv or Dante.

The basic thing that you can do with a Frank team is to have Frank on point and go into a THC because the Shopping Cart Hyper ends quicker than most hypers. If the team is working for you and if you can’t get to level 3 frequently, than I would just roll with that team.

I’m basically brand-new to this game and Vs. games as a whole (Also to this forum, but that’s kinda irrelevant). Obviously, I’m not sure who to go for.

Ghost Rider really appeals to me as a character, but I’m more of a rush-down sort of player. I’d be willing to learn him, but are there any RD characters that have much synergy with him? Or would I be doomed to a pure keep-away team? Who should I choose if that’s the case?

The other two characters I’m considering are Felicia and Akuma. Needless to say, these two are a far better match for my usual playstyle. From what I’ve read, in theory, these two get along fairly well. What would be a good option for a third character in this case? I can tell a decent anchor would really help.

But a third issue is that I like high-damage characters as well, which means the kitty would have to go. Both GR and Akuma seem to have decent-to-great damage output. But are these two even compatible? If they are, who would suit them as a third teammate?

Also, feel free to suggest assists and DHC options. Like I said, brand-new to Marvel.

There’s more stuff you can actually do than just TAC into Frank after an extended combo, or using THC. The trick to what made the Frank/Wolverine synergy work is that before the last bat swing Frank makes in Survival Techniques is to DHC into Berserker Charge, then hard tag to Frank for the snap. There are plenty of other characters that can do the same, just make sure it isn’t an attack super that’s going to hit the opponent in the air. So the demon brother’s Devil Trigger works, Morrigan’s Astral Vision works, Wesker’s, Taskmaster’s, and Stange’s counter super works, and even Joe’s slow and cannon move will work. Just hit to the lab and find something that works for you.

As for your team Opossum, Dorm can stay, be a combo extender for Frank by calling Dark Hole, snap, and snap again into a super, plus Dorm makes for a good anchor. Cap’n, I’m not so sure, I’m not a fan for him even with his buffs in UMvC3. With what I said above, the shield super may do it, so again, something to hit to the lab and test the team out. If he doesn’t work out, you at least now got some technology idea to work with and find another member on the team.

Is the relationship between Zero and Sentinel good? Any tips for using them together? Thanks! :smiley:

The kitty can stay. Try to learn this combos so you can get dat 700k solo damage.

Apart from this, Felicia’s strengths also come in the form on the opportunities she has to get combos (s.:l: anti-air, tick throws, air grabs, air delta kick, kitty helper unblockables, assist plus :atk:+:s: crossups etc.). Don’t worry much about the damage with her, she’s getting enough already IMO. Tatsu assist is great for any rushdown character, Felicia being no exception, and it may even help you extend your combos with her. Akuma not only gets you a great assist, but he’s one of the best XF Lv.3 characters in the entire game and a great point character being able to deal a lot of damage with meter solo.

I am not too sure about Ghost Rider in the team, Tatsu assist could be helpful to zone as well, but Ghost Rider can be way more effective in other more zoning based teams. Hidden Missiles, Sentinel Drones, Eye of the Agamatto etc. are all great assists for him.

If you want to go for the zoning route with GR, the I recommend characters with good beam/zoning assists such as Sentinel and Doom. If you want to keep your usual style of rushdown with Felicia and Akuma, any other rushdown character should do the trick, just make sure they have a nice synergy with both Felicia and Akuma. It doesn’t hurt if they have a nice assist too (Dante, Taskmaster, Wesker).

I’m building a team and currently chose Vergil(rapid slash) X-23(ankle slice) and ironman(repulsor blast) i replace Vergil with Dr.Strange(eye of agamotto) and vice versa.I would like to know if this is a good team if anybody has advice or pro&cons about this team i would appreciate it.I’m kinda new to fighting games and would like to improve.thanks for any help
