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?

This is the biggest bang for the buck BnB that Magneto has. Incredibly easy to do and nets over 500k fullscreen. If you want to end it in Tempest, after the second blast you can just do st.H xx Hyper Grav xx Tempest.

Trying to make a Jill/Dante/Wesker team. Anything I should know?

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:

I think Mags with Wesker assist isn’t half as strong as Wesker with Mags assist. Magneto benefits off of an OTG, but it’s more of a win more option than what he really wants: a pressure assist. Notice how MastaCJ’s Magneto…doesn’t really do anything. Ever. Wesker benefits greatly off of Disruptor assist (mixups as well as combo extension) and Dark Magneto is just as scary as Dark Wesker, killing off of any random throw and being lightning fucking fast and nigh unblockable tridash pressure.

Also, the most optimal Magneto combo is currently Alioune’s loop, which can also end in a Tempest if you st.H after the 3rd blast: http://shrt.fm/xDYhnJ

stuff

DJ Houshen uses Felicia and Taskmaster (with Skrull) if I remember correctly so that might be a good place to start of the 3 you mentioned. Not to mention much like his team you have the ability to put Dante/Felicia/Task in any order really and still be ok based on matchups. Viper might be something to consider too since Burn Kick is one of the few assists in the game that hits high creating some dirty unblockables, but won’t obviously function like Drones/Tatsu/Beams/Arrows just something to consider maybe?

I’m wanting to run Felicia (Delta kick)/Doom (Hidden missles)/Cap. (Charging star)

I don’t have Umvc3 yet though, so, I have no real experience with this team whatsoever. And I don’t wanna play Vanilla for obvious reasons.
I was planning on playing Felicia on point since her assists aren’t all that great. Mainly, this team is just a combination of my favorite characters. Dunno if it even has any real synergy.

So, I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to how this team would fare.

I would consider changing up the order. Cap isn’t really a great anchor character because he struggles to chase people down and apply mix-ups without assists to help him. Doom and Felicia have the same problem to a lesser extent but both provide great assists to help other characters get in.

I’d run it as:

[INDENT=1]Captain America (Shield Slash) / Doom (Hidden Missiles) / Felicia (Rolling Buckler)[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]or[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Captain America (Shield Slash) / Felicia (Rolling Buckler) / Doom (Plasma Beam or Hidden Missiles).[/INDENT]

Hey guys, im finally getting to the point where i want to make a permanent team and get really good with them, problem is i am not sure what i want for my last character slot. My team is Nova, Frank, xxxxx. Not sure who i should use as my anchor, any suggestions?

[ObeyFTK]

Hey guys, i was hoping you guys could help me find my new character! Currently, i’m playing as ?/Doom/Wesker.

I’m basically looking for a point character who can deal high damage. Also, i’d like to have someone who has somewhat medium to high execution.
I was thinking either zero, or dante. Who would have better synergy with my team? Thanks!

I’m a Zero player, and I’ve often considered running this team. It seems fairly versatile. Definitely a great choice.

Dante wold add even more versatility in a way though, since Doom could use Dantes assist.

I’m partial to Zero/Doom/Wesker myself, but I’m not a Dante player. You can’t really go wrong either way.

[Justmusic]

So, after a lot of mission mode and getting stomped online and trying to sort out my team crisis i have come to the conclusion i want to play ryu/wesker. As a 3rd im not sure who to pick up im pretty open to anyone right now. As to whether that character goes on point or on anchor i do not know, but i just assume ryu tatsu assist makes him my second, but by all means if you have a different order let me know. So who do i play?

If you’re just looking for someone with higher execution then pick Dante, Zero’s execution difficulty is grossly exaggerated. The only things executionally difficult with Zero are charge switching and the Lightning Loop (which isn’t that hard to be honest). Zero does a hell of a lot more damage than Dante though.

Team wise, Dante benefits more from Wesker’s gun than Zero.
Zero wants assists that help him fill up the screen with hitboxes so he can run his game uncontested and Wesker doesn’t provide that. All Zero really gets in this situation is a lazy OTG that he doesn’t need to use since his combos are much easier now with buster canceling. You won’t really need Wesker’s gun for unblockables either since Zero can set up his own unblockables with Sougenmu.

Dante, on the other hand, gets more use out of the gun. Easy combo extension after an air throw and unblockables with j.H cross-ups (works especially well after the Grapple reset) are some highlights.

DHC wise, Zero > Doom is a hell of a lot better than Dante > Doom unless you’re in the corner, so that’s something to think about if you decide to play Dante.

Another thing to consider is what happens when you bring in your second character for your point to rest. Zero doesn’t provide a useful assist for Doom unless he’s double’d up in Sougenmu, and even then that only turns his assists from “meh” to “acceptable” and you can’t always guarantee that you’ll be able to do that. More often then not with the Zero team Doom will usually be fighting solo. Sure, he can use Wesker’s gun to set up unblockables but gunshot is only useful when Doom is already in and does nothing for his neutral game.

Dante, on the other hand, provides one pretty good assist with Weasel Shot and one amazing assist with Jam Session. JS is awesome for Doom as it covers the areas of the screen he has a harder time controlling and it provides very solid lockdown. If you switch out Dante for Doom you’re still playing with a guaranteed useful assist unlike the Zero team which has requirements in this situation.

Or you could switch it to x/Wesker/Doom and not have to worry about those Zero assist requirements, since Doom would always be available for assist help.
Just some things to think about.

[Rinzler]

Only asking…any help would be VERY appreciated…Ive been torn about this for about 2 weeks now. Im running and have been running since vanilla wesker/morrigan/??

For a bit there I was using storm but Ive heard and read storm isnt as good anymore. Any suggestions? Mabye swap wesker…I dunno…PLEASE any advice would amazing!! Thanks in advance!!

[WALSRU]

There are a couple ways you could go with that. If you’re confident in your Wesker without assists then you’ve got yourself a decent Dark Phoenix team. Otherwise you could throw Morrigan in the back for some XF3 Astral Vision fireball spam and fill in the middle with a good space control assist that also benefits from Morrigan’s meter building. Characters like: Doom, Vergil, Skrull, Dorm, Hawkeye, Akuma, Strider, etc etc

No need to swap Wesker if he’s working for you, he’s a very good character. That’s why we all hate on him.

Thanks alot! This is exactly what i need. I think i’m gonna try out both teams.

[entrerix]

apologies in advance if this is a horrible question, but could i get some suggestions for a 3rd character to pair with Nemesis and Chris? I was hoping to make a team of characters who have simple big damage combos, while being able to play a zoning game and preferably have a lot of life.

ghost rider? wesker? doom? dormamu?

[Momochuu]

I made a vid of my team. Probably gives a better example of what I meant in my previous post than words alone:

[media=youtube]l5Ylrx32My4[/media]

[WALSRU]

Doom, Dorm, Hawkeye, Taskmaster, Deadpool, Morrigan, Modok, Joe

Take your pick

[Firebranded]

Running Firebrand/Sent/Wolverine. Suggestions?

[Bronn]

Playing Hawk/Strider/Doom

It’s alright and I could do more with the team, but otherwise I feel like it’s not enough. However I feel very comfortable with all these dudes so I’d like advice for the characters. I’m comfortable with these dudes on pretty much any position (except strider on point). Basically I’m looking for a good 3rd that could make a killer team with any of the two I mentioned. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

[Zenrot]

Currently I’m running Deadpool/Nova/Strider, and the team is having decent results, but Deadpool is sort of a meh character overall for me. I’d like to keep Nova and Strider, but does anyone have any reccomendations for a a third character for this team?
