What do ya’ll think of my new team
Viper(seismo or Burn kick)/Dante(Jam Session)/… and I’m inbetween having Trish Akuma or Doom as my anchor…
I know this is the optimal team for Strider assist but honestly I don’t like Strider and would rather play defense than offense, preying on mistakes, though this team can play offense very… very very well
I like the ability of tatsu for almost everything this team can do, and even if Viper isn’t the best off of that assist, she still gets the retarded corner mixup from that assist. We all know what Dante gets off of tatsu (the “Yipes” mixups, good defensive and offensive pressure, great screen clearing ability for Dante to get in)
Doom Gives me even better screen clearing but as an anchor he isn’t quite as scary
Trish gives me a weak projectile but possibly being the best anchor out of the 3
The skill cap on that team is immense, but if you’re comfortable with Viper, by all means. Honestly, I think Doom is scarier on anchor than the other two, but his Hidden Missles wouldn’t really give your team anything it doesn’t already have. In that sense, I’d probably go with Akuma for the 1-Frame super and the Tatsu mixups. On xf3 his beam super is ridiculous, and can really turn the tide of a losing fight. Trish is solid, I’m by no means saying she isn’t, but for you’re purposes Akuma looks a lot stronger.
Honestly, if you’re going to use superlowhealth Storm, I’d use a heavy to back her up. She has pretty good synergy with Nemesis (or even Thor), so that might be an option. Both of them also have command grabs, which coupled with Storm assist can lead to some pretty tech shit.
Just my 2 cents though.
I would suggest Viper (Burn Kick)/Dante (Jam Sesion)/Doom (Plasma Beam)
Doom’s beams can give lockdown for Viper and Dante. It also sets up some mixups with the airdashes and lows and also Dante’s teleport. Most of Viper and Dante’s combos end up in the corner, allowing an easy DHC to Doom. You can then end with Viper/Dante as your anchor to benefit from high XFactor if you want, or leave Doom in for keepaway. Doom’s style I believe is more defence oriented than Akuma or Trish, and a hit confirm off Doom on the defense seems to be easier than the other two.
Of course, all this is theory; try them out and see how it goes. Akuma can help you on offense with Tatsu, which can double as a get off me move. Trish’s traps can help control space but more patient players can wait it out, or deliberately trigger them when you can’t take advantage of them. Both Doom and Trish can feasibly lame out opponents if you have a life lead; Akuma will probably be better off maintaining rushdown and killing the opponent.
Hey guys! Just wanted some input on my current team i’ve been running/really enjoy.
Frank West (cart)
Wolverine (BB)
Doom (missles)
it runs pretty solid as i am able to get level 3 frank west off one combo at level 1 with dooms missles. only downside to that is no hyper followup for level 4. i still think it’s worth it. also any cool setups/mixups/strategies you guys could provide would be awesome. I’m new to the marvel series but have a pretty good idea of tournament play/what i’m doing. Mixups/crossups/resets i lack.
Vergil nor Dante are easy to play well. If you want something relatively easy, the heavy hitters are always a good choice. Zoning is also extremely effective in this game. So I guess you could do something like Hawkeye, Hulk and Phoenix. Dante and Vergil both have a high skill cap if you want to use them effectively, where as Hulk has super armor all over the place. Nemesis and Sentinel also come to mind. Captain America is pretty user friendly too besides what I just said.
I’m not 100% familiar with Frank West, but you can do some dirty work with his assist and Wolverine.
Like you can do a normal BnB with Wolverine, OTG with his 3M into Shopping cart assist and then air grab. The otg will force the opponent to be in the air while it’s happening, the shopping cart will keep him in the air, and then you can grab him with Wolvie. Alternatively, you can use the same stratetgy and drill claw into dive kick, which can also mix up. Shopping cart + Berserker Slash into Berserker Rage + combo I’d imagine is also pretty potent.
More useful yet is Doom missles with Wolvie. Point being you can send them out full screen away and berserker slash in when they’re coming down, or dive kick in with the last missle.
Pretty much, you’re team has a lot of assist that force the opponent to block a lot. So what you want to do is lock them down with one and try to rush in for a berserker slash or a grab. Biggest thing though is that you have to stay on the offense. You’re team lacks defensive characters (save the assist).
cap does well using the gunfire assist, but im not sure chris is getting anything out of wesker’s otg assist to help him (seeing as he otg’s for himself very easily with his downH). would i be insane to use a different assist with wesker to help chris?
This is exactly the kind of details i was hoping for. Thank you! One or two questions i had…:
“Alternatively, you can use the same stratetgy and drill claw into dive kick, which can also mix up.”*
As in, 3M to Shopping cart assist to drill claw? seems hard to connect the 3m to the drill claw but i haven’t tried.
I’ve tried Sentinel (was my main in that slot in Vanilla, but dem nerfs), Doom (Beam), Nemesis (ground bounce), and Dante (Jam Session and Weasel Shot).
Friend told me to try Spencer, and I’ve thought about Nova. I know Wesker works well with Dorm on point, but I really don’t like playing him on point.
I like Nemesis because his ground bounce assist makes the unblockable on incoming characters much harder to avoid because of its big vertical hitbox and the fact that it lets me drop a flame carpet and combo into the ground bounce for a relaunch anywhere on the screen.
The input would be “…j.S (as in you knock them back to the ground after a combo j.S), Shopping Cart, 3M then while they’re in there air being held down by the cart (because they’ll probably fall out of the combo, hence the reset) you can Drill Claw > Dive kick”. Gotta work on the timing though.
As far as tourney worthy goes, go Youtube a guy named Noel Brown. He has a pretty similar team so you can see what he does. He’s real good, definitely considered a proski.
And if you want to see some awesome solo Doom tech, Cl0ckwork and Marlin Pie are both nasty. You can learn a lot more from nitpicking what they do than me telling you.
Actually, one of the posters on another thread opened my eyes to Wesker being more viable on 2nd character with an assist than 3rd character without one (forgot the guys name, I’ll edit it in later). Anyways, you can switch Wesker and Chris, which would give Wesker safer mixups and level 3 Xfactor without glasses. Try it out in practice.
Dormammu/Dante(weasel shot)/Magneto is what i’ve been running, weseal shot holds the opponent in place, lets you have mixup, lets you continue your combos like OTG gun off of flame carpet, and plus you get Dante the character along with Akuma for your mixups.
I whole heartedly recommend Dante for your Dormammu x Akuma team
Yeah I watch noel all day. Im heavily active in the community scene (always trying to keep up with all the tournaments)
wesker just changes alot (wolverine getting full combo off his air throw now), plus he uses wolv first instead of frank, for the TAC LVL 4 combo (which i think is not worth the risk at his level of play, especially in my case where you can get lvl 3 frank off one simple combo with doom.)
[S]While i’m here, can anyone recommend any popular streamers/youtube uploaders from tournaments? So far i practically have levelupseries, jaxelrod, and spooky. [/S]nvm found the thread
Hey guys help me create a storm team. I was thinking of Storm/Dorm/Akuma but I’d like some input. It’s basically the same as my X-23/Dorm/Akuma except playing more keepaway and mixups.
man, fuck that magneto dlc costume getting canned/stalled/whatever. spain needs to have a coke and a smile and chillax…and that’s me putting it kindly. we juan that costume. <—see what i did there?
Hello all. I’ve been visiting Shoryuken for a while now, but I’ve finally registered for an account just so I can talk UMVC3. So my current teams are…:
Magneto (Disruptor), Dante (Crystal), Hawkeye (Greyhound) [As of right now MAIN]
[LIST]
[*]Dante’s crystal is for Magneto’s OTG. I am a controller pad player, so my Magneto bnb’s I’d say are… above amateur, but below the obvious “Pro ROM” combos. When (or if) Magneto dies, Dante pretty much is a charge character, gaining meter for Hawkeye eventually.
[/LIST]
Dante (Jam Session), Frank West (Shopping Cart), Hawkeye (Greyhound) [Secondary team/“Mess-around” Team]
[LIST]
[*]So my bnb is PERFECT for frank west, one hit at the start of the match and I can get Frank West to level 4 right away. Problem about this team is, once I lose Dante, Frank West is a “close-range” character, which is hard against wesker/phoenix/zero. Overall pretty decent
[/LIST]
For my last team, I’m hoping the kind members of Shoryuken can help me build off of this set-up I had in mind. I’d say overall, My Dante is above average and Hawkeye overall is a good/easy character to use. So my intentions are to keep Dante at point and Hawkeye as anchor. I was wondering who would be a great character to add some synergy to this team? What I had in mind:
[LIST]
[]Dante(Weasel Shot/Jam Session), ____(), Hawkeye (Greyhound).
[]!!! WARNING: Characters that I hate with a passion and REFUSE to use are Phoenix, Wesker, and Sentinel, because they are in general “very cheap” and I refuse to use them (no offense to those who do use them). It’s just that I have this little “pride” thing going on, and I like to incorporate this quote to my everyday life, “Do not become what you hate.” So that explains why I will not use Phoenix, Wesker, or Sentinel.
[/LIST]
Thanks a lot Shoryuken, I really hope someone helps me out with this team because I do intend to use it as a new main. If they add Megaman as DLC for any random reason, there’s no question he’s filling in the slot, haha
Phoenix is hard to play and she ain’t really cheap also I think she is overated.In most case we end up seing Wesker/Ironman/Phoenix and that look cheap but still if you get to kill Wesker or Ironman before he build meter for Phoenix you won.Phoenix have low Hp and her combo doesnt do as much damage as people might think. In fact outside of Dark Phoenix she is pretty useless.
Also you could try Morrigan as your Assist Character in your second team. Her assist give you load of meter + she have a projectile that steal the ennemy meter.
Also I did some fix to my team but I still don’t know which one to use:
For Storm/Thor? You’d need a beam assist, Doom or Magneto are both good anchors as well, you could go with Hawkeye as well, even Iron Man, though he’s a bit harder to play, his confirms off his OTG are a bit difficult.
My main team is Thor/Dorm/Magneto, it works really well.
I am looking for a good anchor for my nova,hawkeye team. I am fairly new so learning a new character wont be a problem.( I know cobofiend uses spencer but i am not a fan of the bionic commando)
