Sorry for the really late reply. Amatersu is a bitching (pun intended) anchor, but I’m biased because she’s my main character. Thor and Dog have great synergy as well. Her assist however is more lockdown, less projectile…still a great assist, just doesn’t really count as a beam. Same problem with Dante…decent lockdown assist with a projectile aspect, but a true projectile assist will eat it alive.
Haggar/Thor/Ammy is a workable though, just not ideal.
New player here, before I start on my road to practicing in mission mode and combo videos for UMvC3, I wanna ask if my original team in MvC3 is viable at all or should I change things up in practice.
My team is Wolverine (Berserker Barrage)/Chun-Li (Lightning Kicks)/Iron Man (Replusor Blast).
Right now my team is Wesker, IF, Hawkeye in that order. I get rocked hard by things like Sentinel, Zero and Spencer pressure and I find that I really don’t have any tools to get out just because my assist are relatively weak. Leaving Wesker up front also doesn’t leave much room for setups.
In all, I’m willing to swap out everyone but IF. I love that guy to much. Who compliments IF really well? And how do I get to that point where I’m giving out so much pressure that the opponent doesn’t know what to do? I get that done to me a lot but fail to be able to do it to other people.
Right now, I have Wesker, Dante on my team and currently switching between Hawkeye and Strider as a third character. I was wondering what other characters would work well as an assist or would help compliment the team. I have also tried Dr. Doom but I don’t really enjoy playing him.
Hmm you’re team is actually pretty good, I’d just change the order around. IF, Wesker, Hawkeye. Use the unblockable setup with Wesker (can be done with OTG/overhead rekka in a rekka string) and you’re in. Wesker still has Hawkeye support to get in. Granted Wesker’s awesome OTG is rather wasted on this team.
On a side note, IF needs a really good assist to help him get in and a lockdown to help him stay in. Frank West (cart) and Sentinel (drones) both seems like a good pick.
Iron Man takes a lot of effort to be worth it, if you were using his beam assist, I could say maybe to your team, especially if you rush down well with Chun. But as it is, I’d say keep wolvie and chun (if you want) but boot the rust bucket.
He can keep IM or Chun, but having both would be tough. I would switch Chun to Akuma/Frank West/Super Skrull, or Iron man to Doom/Sentinel.
So perhaps Akuma/Doom/Wolverine?
That was my original order. However, I switched it up for that same reason - Wesker assist gets wasted on this team since IF doesn’t need it and Hawkeye is better as the last character than anywhere else. Wesker also seems to benefit greatly off the Rising Fang assist from Iron Fist. It comes out so fast that I can usually get an opponent off me if I time it correctly.
My biggest qualm with my own team is that it lacks setups. I feel like against rush down characters (like Zero + Sentinel assist) have it easy against me because they can keep me in a constant block string (practically) and Wesker really has nothing to get away from it besides teleport, which is easily punishable in our meta.
What do people think about a Resident Evil team with Nemesis at point, Chris with gun fire as a beam for Nemesis to get in and a good DHC synergy, and Wesker to clean up as anchor?
Thanks for the input. I’m trying to make Haggar/Thor/Raccoon work right now, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. Maybe I’ll take another stab at figuring out Ammy combos.
I’d like help with my MODOK team. I blatantly refuse to drop either MODOK or Sentinel, I just can’t find a third character. I would prefer for them to be good in the anchor slow with a good assist for MODOK and Sentinel, but having a good second character that takes advantage of drones and has a good assist for MODOK is an option too.
I’m thinking of:
MODOK/Sentinel/Dante (Hate playing him, urgh)
MODOK/Sentinel/Akuma
MODOK/Doctor Strange/Sentinel
MODOK/Felicia/Sentinel
MODOK/Iron man/Sentinel
MODOK/Doom/Sentinel or MODOK/Sentinel/Doom
Any suggestions?

Viewtifuljoe/____/Doom who would go good with viewtiful joe and asissts?
are these teams decent and ya i know so many teams and they all end with doom i got like 11 teams lol it gets boring playing the same 3 characters all the time
I really do want to iron out my zero, since I love playing him. But I’ve tried that for a while. I mean, I’m not going to completely drop him, but I’m gonna try some other combos.
I think if I were to run Dorm/Doom/Skrull, doom would have to be plasma beam, to avoid him taking too much damage. I tried Dorm/Skrull/Doom (missiles), and while it was decent, everyone was always starving for meter, which is mostly an order thing I think. Dorm needs meter and so does Skrull.
I also tried Dorm/Doom/Strider, which yous uggested. I like that one too, although dorm can’t really capitalize off vajra, it seems.
Basically, I’m just gonna spend some time with
Dorm/Doom/Strider
Dorm/Doom/skrull (or doom and skrull switched)
Zero/Dorm/Doom
And see who I’m most effective with. I also worry my Doom’s execution level isnt up to snuff, but we’ll see.
You evil, evil man.
I want to run Zero(Ryuejin)/XXX/Magneto(Disruptor)
I’ve been working on the lightning loop and have stuck with Zero for a long time, so I definitely want him to stay and Magneto is turning out to be a lo to ffun and I want a good beam assist for Zero and whoever I decide goes on second
These are my main problems:
I am not sure who I want to run on second. I can run Wesker, Vergil, or Ryu. I enjoy Ryu the most but I feel like Wesker and Vergil get more benefit from the beam than Ryu would. However, Ryu is a lot of fun and I have a pretty nice combo extension using Tatsu for Zero’s corner to corner. Thirdly, he has good health. I would run Vergil for the DHC abilities with Zero, but since I use the lightning loop, I don’t see much of a need to DHC into him or even use his assist extension. His lower health also makes me not want to use him. Wesker would get a huge benefit from the beam and has high health, but doesn’t really do anything for Zero.
I haven’t gotten a good Magneto combo and I’m having trouble finding good videos. I have a small Magnetic Blast loop down but to get it to do decent damage, I need Wesker’s OTG assist to be able to hit with Magnetic Tempest. So, could someone try and help me find some good solo Magneto combos that end in Magnetic Tempest (A Corner to Corner and A Corner Only combo would be nice).
Can I get some help?
I am currently running the following
Trish - Low Voltage
Chun - Lightning Legs
Dr Doom Plasma Beam
Any team suggestions? I am very new to UMvC3.
I would really like to keep Chun in. I find that she has problems getting in against those who have zoning as a good staple.
Maybe change the assist for Trish? Or swap out one of the members besides Chun?
Hey guys what do think about my Ryu team? Ryu(tatsu)/Taskmaster(H. Arrow)/Sentinel(Charge). So far in training mode it’s working well. Both assists help Ryu get in or keep out. DHC into Task up arrow from shin hadoken is godlike. I personally think it’s a decent pretty versatile team. Also please help me make an X-23 team. I love the character and right now I’m trying out X-23(ankle slice)/Iron Man(unibeam)/Sentinel(Charge). I feel like it could be better. Any tips appreciated!
I really like Hawkeye and I want to make a dedicated zoning team with him, what assists or synergies should I be looking for? I was thinking strider anchor for his assist to cover the top of the screen. But I am at a loss of who to put second, Doom goes well with Hawkeye when he has hidden missles backing him up, but that is what strider’s assist is for. Is doom beam a good alternative for Hawk? Willing to hear anything, but I dislike hawkeye as anchor for some reason, I wanna play him point or second.
Zero and Vergil make an incredible combination, and Magneto is one of the best anchors in the game (with a great assist to boot). I can see Ryu working on this team as well but can’t give much insight into how to use him. If you decide to run Wesker I would go with the Zero/Mags/Wesker order since that gives Mags access to an OTG and you are backed by Derp Wesker (this is one of the best 2-character combinations that we’ve seen all the time since the beginning of vanilla).
For Magneto combos you will never need to look further than this video:

More on my team.
Trish - Low Voltage
Chun - Lightning Legs
Dr Doom - Plasma Beam
This is me only fiddling with what I can find for team synergy
For Chun, it seems she needs to get in, as I said before. Dr Doom seems to help that a lot with Plasma Beam. Trish’s Low Voltage Assist does not seem to work well with the rest of my chosen team. Cu’s Lightning Legs Assist works well for lockdown in corner, and both cross up, and rush in situations.
So, I am left with team synergy overall. Perhaps if I spend some time with the team more, I can figure out some good synergy.
Again, suggestions are appreciated.
