Their relationship is kind of an ups and downs relationship. They had a nice run during the first year of their marriage, but later things got ugly. Currently, Zero is fighting for the kid’s child support but Big Papa don’t seem to care anymore. /#horriblejokes
Seriously, they make a really strong duo. Sentinel is considered one of Zero’s best assist (the other being Jam Session). It allows for combo extension’s, cross-ups, screen control, and improved zoning. They both DHC pretty well into each other, Plasma Storm dealing huge damage after Rekkoha (Rainbow/Skittles Super). Ryuenjin assist is pretty decent for Sent, he can use it to cover himself in the air a little and he can get double Plasma Storms in the corner.

Really strong team, just make sure to cover Sentinel when using Zero, because if Sentinel gets hit, the drones will dissapear in this game.
Thanks for the advice. I think Dante/Felicia/Akuma would suit my rushdown/damage needs nicely. I completely forgot about that video’s existence, lol.
As for the zoning team, Ghost Rider/Doom sounds like it’d be a good fit. I really like Doom, so that should work out. But who would I use for a third teammate? (For all our sakes, please don’t say Sent. I hate Sent. XP)
Maybe Strider? He is great for Doom because he can get full combos thanks to his OTG on both s. and s.:h: out of Strider’s Vajra assist hard knockdown. He is a great anchor too with Ouroboros and XF Lv.3. That assist could help Ghost Rider with teleporters (maybe) because it tracks and brings them down from the air.
Dante could also work really well with his Jam Session assist. Dante uses Plasma Beam or Hidden Missiles pretty well, and Doom can combo pretty easy from Jam Session because of his new j.:s:, so getting hit confirms out of a Jam Session hit is not as awkward as it used to be in vanilla.
I just decided last week to stop trying to play the best characters in the game and pick my favourite characters in the game from comic books and games. Because of that in my team I chose Wesker; RE is my favourite capcom game series of all time and Wesker is my favourite characters from it. Deadpool; I used to read his comics a bit and I loved him in Ultimate Alliance, he is a very hilarious and cool looking character. Dormammu; I had never heard of Dormammu until MvC3 but I immediately took a liking to his character design and playstyle. That is how I chose my team.
Anyway, down to the business. I am currently running the team in this order with these assists…
Dormammu - Assist a (Dark hole) / Deadpool - Assist a (Quick work) / Wesker - Assist b (Samurai Edge)
I am just wondering if I am playing the team in the best possible order with the right assists. Any feedback would be appreciated
Maybe a teleport character to take advantage of Hawkeye’s Greyhound assist for left/right mixups? All of them can DHC well with Cap’s HCS I believe so you could pretty much take your pick.
When I play UMvC3, or any game for that matter, I try and keep in mind the purpose is to have fun.
That said: I know my choice of team is likely a very “unconventional” one,
and that is not why I am asking for feedback.
I just want to know what ideas other people might have that may help me,
or anyone else using these characters.
Team “Triforce” (Zelda fanboy ;p)
Amaterasu, Zero and Dormammu.
Basic idea: Use Ammy to gauge and counter, via weapon, opponent’s tactics, trading out when opportune.
If the enemy is range-focused, use Zero for a rush-down.
If they try to over-power; zone with Dormammu.
Those are just some examples: it really depends on how they are playing at the time.
Hey, gonna get my hands on the game soon and i was wondering if anyone could help me out. Kinda new to the whole versus series but have been doing a bit of lurking of vid watching to get a very basic idea. I would like to make a team with Deadpool and Arthur in it (like above, i like more unusual teams) but i am clueless as to who to have as a 3rd character. I was thinking i would play Arthur as anchor, seeing as golden armor and level 3 xf is beast, but that is pretty much what i have figured out.
I would like to be able to play rushdown when needed with Deadpool and Arthur, even though, from what i have seen, they seem to excel at keepaway it is always nice to have options. When it comes to assists, i am pretty much clueless to which to use, so help with that aswell would be awesome.
Both Deadpool and Arthur have great ranged options, but both suffer from below-average health.
That said; You have your “zoning” pretty much covered, but lack in raw damage and survivability.
I am NOT saying you cannot do ridiculous combos with those two
just that, from a new player standpoint, you will likely need to rely on slowly chipping away at health.
IMHO you can go two interesting directions from here…
You can add a beast of a rush-down character and then swap up for range-games.
You can add a “Tank” so that you can force a opponent that rushes you to play defensively.
Which characters fill those roles? Many.
My vote goes for
Iron Fist for the rush-down: Ability ranges from simple to advanced if you can pick up on his patterns
Haggar for the Tank: He is easy to pick up, his Double-lariat is great and he has command grabs.
Put Zero first. Zero with Ammy’s lockdown assist and the approach cover of Dormammu’s assist is very very good and he wants to be on point anyway. Dorm and Ammy are interchangeable as 2nd and 3rd as both are good anchors and both provide good assists for each other, but personally I would keep Dorm 3rd just because I think he’s a slightly better anchor. This is a very solid team. You’re going to have to be careful with your assist calls since they are fairly slow and only cover a very centralized area of the screen, but Zero is one of the best at covering assist calls as long as you have buster charged.
I already use Frank/Ammy/Doom and Doom/Frank/Sentinel, but am looking for a third team.(with Frank, of course!) I actually want to use Tron and Frank, but am at a loss on who would complete the team and a proper order. Any ideas?
Hey everyone. I’m a person with extreme “choose a character” issues. I’m a pretty casual player but I think actually choosing a team would make me a little more dedicated. So far I have Captain America/Dormammu and I am looking for a third. I am also looking at which assists I should be using for these characters, and the order of the team. ANY suggestions (even telling me I should drop one of them if their synergy is just completely awful) is appreciated. Thanks
Magneto (EM Disruptor)/Taskmaster (Parabolic)/Doctor Doom (Hidden Missiles?)
3 solid characters that allow for keepaway/rushdown play. Viable assists allowing for great combo potential and spacing. DHC potential may not be perfect, but the synergy seems to be there. Should be fairly easy for all 3 characters to get in when necessary, and if zoning characters such as hawkeye or dormammu are present they shouldn’t pose a large problem as I can rush or zone fairly well with these 3 characters. Feedback and suggestions from the community?
Thanks for the reply, was kinda unsure on how to build my team. Iron Fist and Haggar both seems very interesting, Iron Fist due to just tearing stuff up with his massive damage and Haggar for the same reason (and have to admitt, that pipe is boss). If i were to use either teams, which assists should i use? I am kinda clueless on that front, so any help is appreciated.
I’m no expert at this game. I’m far from it, hahaha. But I love me some Arthur, and he’s the main reason I bought MVC3 in the first place (GnG fanboy ;D). Arthur’s best position is anchor. His best assist is Dagger Toss (though Fire Bottle is usable), and it’s a lot stronger if you switch out Arthur in GA. If you ever get into a pickle with Arthur, you can use his j.S for an instant overhead into an easy combo. XF3 + GA = Beast, of course.
Hey, I’m wondering what’s a good third character with Vergil/Magneto/… the order isn’t set in stone. I’m thinking along the lines of Dante/Sentinel/Storm/Ammy.
Thanks in advance!
For Iron Fist his Y Rising Fang is great: basically a flying kick with invulnerability and causes a wall-bounce…
BUT you may want to use his B Crescent Heel because it is a great Off The Ground assist, if you don’t have one!
Haggar, on the other hand, has one of the best assists in the game: A Double Lariat!
Instant speed, completely invulnerable and deals 40,000 x 3 damage!
The bad side is that every time you use the move, Haggar inflicts red damage on himself.
P.S.
I was double checking what I said earlier: Deadpool actually seems to have “average” health…
but for whatever reason it never seems to be enough when I play him,
hope you understand what I mean! ^.^;;
and s.:h: out of Strider’s Vajra assist hard knockdown. He is a great anchor too with Ouroboros and XF Lv.3. That assist could help Ghost Rider with teleporters (maybe) because it tracks and brings them down from the air.
