I’ve settled on Zero(ryuenjin)/xx/Doom(hidden missiles) (or Zero/Doom/xx)
What do you guys think the best xx is if my playstyle is keep away/zoning heavy?
My current saved teams I have on UMvC3
Ghost Rider/Ryu/Strider Hiryu
Strider Hiryu/Rocket Raccoon/ Ghost Rider
Iron Man/Ghost Rider/Strider Hiryu
I’m the type of player that wants to rush down, but also keep away in order to gain some hyper bars for strider hiryu.
I’m also trying to drop my whole vanilla team just for Strider Hiryu and Ghost Rider.
Can someone tell me a good character to completely drop Iron Man and keep the rush down factor?
i have been using Hulk/Sent/Trish and have been decent. I was new to mvc with 3 but now i can hold my own somewhat but i feel that i need to get hulk out of there since it has forced me to use Sent’s OTG to make hulk combos deadly. I would like to use his obviously best assist instead. My question would be is trish an ok point char and who should my anchor be if i moved her up? obviously Wesker would be good but i like to be a little more unique and don’t want to get screwed if he gets nerfed
Trying to figure out a good team to build around Dante, Nova, or Ghost Rider, but not sure which assists would be best to use with that team or who should be point. Been sort of playing them as a mid-range zone rush sort of style, using Dante’s guns and Rider’s chain range to force openings before rushing in with Nova or Dante. The majority of the people playing near me play a lot of Hulk/Sent/something teams, so it needs to match up well against those.
I want to run a team with the core of Dante and Iron Man. Dante is there to do the business and kill everything and Iron Man is there for the assist and damaging DHC after a long Dante Combo (his Hypers doesnt scale much compare to most characters after a long combo) and 1 frame punish on assists.
I don’t know what character to pick to support them both. I have kind of settled on Sentinel Drones, but my Sentinel is so free and I feel like he struggle with a lot of the characters in the game (namely anyone fast or with a good projectile).
And I also feel like if Dante dies, my team struggles a bit because the other two characters shares similar bad match-ups and problems with opening people up. I guess I could play it out with Iron Man with Drones assist, but even with Drones I find it hard to chase people down while they are holding up/back and chicken blocking. What should I do people?
My current team is…
Nemesis (Launcher Slam)/Point
Wright (Press the Witness)
Dr. Strange (Eye of Agamotto)/Anchor
For my team, I prefer to focus it around Nemesis’ strength or Wright’s Turnabout Mode with Strange serving as a good support with his Eye of Agamotto as a great shielding/ pseudo-trap maneuver.
I admit, it IS a pain to get the evidence, and it’s hard to hit his objection. But when it does, the reward is great.
Any suggestions or tips about this team?
The team I am currently using is XX/Nemesis/Spencer.
I need someone in my first slot that can build a lot of meter and can OTG effectively since its something I like to do with my characters.
I have tried a few like Firebrand, X-23, Frank, and Wesker. The problem I am having is I want someone that can work against my roomate’s team of Vergil, Dante and Ryu so I need someone that can keep up in terms of speed or at least can avoid most of Vergil’s startups. Any suggestions?
So many questions!
I’ll do what I can… just keep in mind:
I am NOT an expert, I just analyze games and can give opinions.
Might I suggest Deadpool or Dormammu?
Deadpool has less health, but has some of the best zoning variations in the game!
Not to mention his Quick Work assist hits low, allowing Zero or Doom to perform an easy unblockable!
Dormammu has more health, but is slow and large.
He can fly and teleport, which are always pluses, and his Chaotic Flame is one of the fastest beams!
Ghost Rider: Mid-range expert, but has trouble against rush-down teleports.
Strider Hiryu: Glass-cannon rushdown with teleporting, but needs good assists to optimize.
Assuming you are using one of Ghost Rider’s OTG assist,
what you’d need is a ranged assist character that can rush-down.
You are probably tired of hearing this, but Doom fills the role quite nicely.
Flying is also a plus!
Trish, like any character, can make an excellent point character IMHO.
You want to drop Hulk just because of an assist?
… I guess the question is this: are you playing for FUN or to WIN?
ANY TEAM CAN WIN, it is just a matter of experience and tactics.
As for an Anchor: Sentinel with lvl 3 X Factor is still amazing! Not as good as he used to be, but still!
That still leaves you wanting to know who to replace Hulk with…
but that is dependent on why you play.
-I would start with Ghost Rider, since you can start the match at his optimum range and wear them down.
-Nova second because he uses his red health as ammo which is kind of counter-productive with X-Factor.
-That leaves Dante, who is very versatile and uses X-Factor to great effect.
Assists… that really depends…
For Ghost Rider I would suggest Beta: Heartless Spire.
It hits OTG and can absorb projectiles if timed right.
For Nova, you could use Alpha: Gravimetric Pulse…
it is both a “trap” and yet ANOTHER way of absorbing those annoying projectiles.
Dante? Where to start! For stability, I’d say his Alpha: Jam Session…
But, depending on how you use them, they all have merit!
As for type-matching? I don’t have the best vs. track record…
I just suggest practice! There is no substitute for experience!
Ugh… I don’t even know if this will all fit…
Hope it helps though!
So I’m pondering this team , I think its unique , but Dr Strange (daggers or eyes) , Spencer (diag) , Arthur (daggers).
Now I know , this team seems kinda keep away ish , but u want to be aggressive , arthurs daggers will help with strange mix up stuff , Spencer diag could be used to extend some combos , I could land a grounded impact palm to crumple when it hits . Spencer has more health so my team isn’t made of complete jello. And while ill zone with Arthur, I actually like playing him alil aggresively, his jumping S is pretty strong .
So ant thoughts and opinions of this team? Any constructive feedback I would appreciate
i want to use, skrull, ryu, captain amercia, x-23, hawkeye, chris
i wouldn’t mind, c.viper, chun li,
if necessary, akuma
GO!
Thats quite the mixed bag you got there. Id say go viper skrull and x23.
Viper is an offensive beast, and skrull can prolly set up her focus unblockable. With a low hitting x23, high low unblockables wouldnt be bad to set up. Good damage and terrific mixup potential. High execution, but very rewarding. skrull is tricky in his own right, and low x23 would help him as well. x23 with skrull could set up dirt nap unblockables. Heavy offense and dhcs that should potentially work. Good anti projectile tech with all of them.
If you want to play zone go with chris hawkeye akuma. Chris works as an effective battery for hawkeye. Hawkeye assist is fast and fills a lot of space, coupled with grenades and jump back gun, this would be good. Akuma has decent fireball zone, his assist still beats projectiles, and xflvl3 beams still rape.
Vanilla MvC3 team was Chun/Doom/Phoenix
Ultimate is narrowed down to Chun/Doom/-Wesker or Strider-
Using Strider with the Vajra assist is ultra helpful to Chun, as it eliminates lots of bad matchups (Trish for example). Strider has Ouroborus too which is easy to use, the downside is his combos are kinda difficult to execute online and he has such low health.
However Wesker has high health and high damage with basic combos, plus mixups and free x-factor with phantom dance.
I still probably win the most with Phoenix, but its only cause I have so many hours invested in that character and I haven’t learned Wesker or Strider very well yet. That said I still want to ditch Phoenix and can’t decide between Wesker or Strider, thoughts?
I actually think Chun and Doom would still be good batteries for Ultimate Phoenix anyway so if you really want to still use her you should be ok. If you’re set on dropping her for Strider or Wesker though I’d ask yourself the following questions
- What Doom assist are you planning to use?
- Do you need Wesker to extend Chun’s combos?
- Which of the two do you like to play more Strider or Wesker?
I wouldn’t really use online against Strider when you consider online Vajra is even more annoying than the offline version. If you’re truly comfortable with Phoenix I’d just assume Strider is the better choice for you. You have characters that can easily get Strider to the meter he needs for Ouroboros and he has better options as a anchor than Wesker does (imo). Just remember everyone hits stupidly hard in X-Factor regardless of the level.
i just need an anchor but idk who to pick
i have a zero/cap/? team. i really need an anchor who helps with cap’s cartwheel mixups
I run zero/doom/task but zero/doom/dorm also works. Basically the big feature is both give zero an easy mode corner to corner combo if u go bcs, bb qcf c, assist qcf c jump buster l lightning s, bbcs, doom corner extension.
The beauty is also that the order is interchangeable. Task or dorm with doom missiles is annoying as all hell to play against and doom gets a way in with task or dorm assist. Also dhc synergy is great in almost every direction. Don’t use pool on that team, as zero pool dhc synergy is completely nonexistent.
Edit: Aaaand tapatalk’s quote feature craps out on me…
[LEFT]Right now I’m running the team Trish/Doctor Strange/Morrigan, but I’m not doing to well with them. I’m in love with Doctor Strange and Morrigan and if I were to drop anyone it would be Trish, but I don’t know who to replace her with, or to even replace her at all. So some help would be appreciated.[/LEFT]
Dante on Jam Session. It’s the best assist in the game with Zero, it’s great for fast mixups, and Dante is one of the best anchors in the game. Magneto on Disruptor would work too.
Look for videos of Dieminion. Replace Trish with Joe and he runs that exact team and beasts with it (and personally I think Trish is actually an even better fit for the team).
What makes you say Dante is one of the best anchors in the game? Outside of him being a great character in general, it just seems to me that he gets so much more out of using an assist to get in and help him with teleport mixups. X-Factor makes him faster but after that he still can’t teleport because of airgrabs. Can he even combo off his own airgrab? I remember he couldn’t in Vanilla, outside of doing the air guns.
I’d much sooner go for Magneto if you want a strong anchor, I think that having a projectile assist will also make Cap’s cartwheel mixups stronger, not to mention his shield slash zoning. I’m not too familiar with what kind of assists Zero needs, but what about Akuma? Still a great anchor and he has a great assist for Captain’s mixups.
Answers:
- Doom assist will always be Plasma Beam, critical for Chun Li
- I do not need Wesker to extend Chun’s combos (she has an OTG now)
- I kinda like playing Strider more, but I just want to pick whoever will get the most wins
Also, I only want to have the same team online and offline, I find that continuing to switch back and forth between characters makes my gameplay weaker than if I soley stick to one team all the time.
I am absolutely new to this game and have no idea what I’m doing.
How is X-23/Ammy/Chun-Li?
