Official and Only Team Building Thread (ALL TEAM BUILDING TOPICS GO HERE)

I’ll start from the top,

Nemesis is overall a very hard character to play because while he seems simple at first, it’s actually rather hard to hit a lot of opponents with him due to his mobility, speed and blindspots (particularly low) in order to get the most out of him you usually need to run him on point with two specialized assists to help, Wesker can work for the low shot but you’d need Strider or Doom with Vajra or Hidden Missiles to cover his weakness to flight characters that can dash directly above him. If you’re willing to drop Nemesis (because you really like Captain America) you can run Wesker as third as he makes a really good anchor but as Captain has a reliable OTG you may want to use ghost-butterfly. Or you can run Wesker on point with Captain in second, both of those teams would work. You’d just need to find a solid mid or anchor that helped both but that’s not hard as they are both very all-round.

PW/Hulk works but you need to dedicate yourself to it to make it work. PW is one of the overall worst characters in the game, you need to dedicate yourself to him and abuse what he does have going for him (turnabout x-factor, cellphone tags, mya shield etc.) to make him work. If you’re serious about it look up Poltergust or send him a message, he does it very well.

Dante/Morrigan/Vergil is a team full of solid high tier characters, Dante is a very useful battery, but he’s also great as an assist so I’d consider moving him down the order with Morrigan on point or keeping him where he is with Vergil in second, if you chose to go Dante/Vergil you’d be better off with the likes of Wesker as anchor though as both Morrigan and Vergil are very meter intensive characters. Morrigan can build meter though from the assist spot, she just wont generally have to for Dante. That team could work how you’ve got it, but I think there are more optimal ways of doing it. A common Morrigan team is Morrigan/Doom/Dante (Meter build assist/missiles/weasel shot) which focuses on lame out tactics.

Hope all that helps.

My Team which I’m really loving right now is Vergil/Doom/Zero and the assist for vergil is any doom is molecular shield and zero is any too .
What do you guys suggest ? For assists and I wanna change zero but I don’t know to who yet any suggestions ?

i want to pick nemesis/spencer/???
who should ??? be
i really don’t need a horizontal assist
and what’s so great about nova/spencer?

If you really want Nemesis/Spencer it can work, use slant shot, you’ll need a high mobility character to cover your weaknesses and help your keepaway game, the most obvious suggestion is Doom with Hidden Missiles. Even if you don’t like Doom sometimes in this game you need to make compromises in order to make the characters you like work.

I’ve finally decided my team is Felicia/Doom/Sentinel and it has been working out quite nicely. How well does Sentinel work as an anchor? I tend to keep him last because drones help me get in with Felicia. I’ve been told that she can be a monster as an anchor but the problem is if I put Sentinel on point she loses the help of drones. Or would Doom make a better anchor compared to the two? On another note I think my secondary team will be Felicia/Sentinel/Strider, she will still get the benefits of drones but how well would Strider work on this team?

Thanks for the advice I like the idea of switching up the point characters on team 1 and i think im gonna put some time into working with strider. My Pheonix team on the other hand will prolly be gettin switched since he is a very weak and finicky character. And I may end putting morrigan on point cause I seem to have a little better luck crossing up opponents with her angled air dash and flight mode.

I’m still leading a lot in umvc3, but having an issue with my current team of cap/spencer/strange still undecided on the order or if I should drop strange all together.

It may seem a bit late to do this, but after 500 matches with them and getting in towards solid 5th lord I figure I am starting to try to iron out the last wrinkles in my team. I’m running Cap (Shield Slash) / Hulk (AA Gamma Charge) / Taskmaster (Horizontal Arrows.)

Can anyone who plays at a high level tell me what weaknesses they’d try to exploit against this team? Right now I am finding a way to deal with most things. The only major issues I’ve had are having poor punish options for Vajra and Rapid Slash assists, and dealing with some of the better teleport tactics. Hit me with any criticism you’ve got, I need the food for thought.

I was hoping to see how useful my team would be, and wanted to get your opinions.
Zero(Ryuenjin)/Deadpool(Trigger Happy****)****/Wesker(Jaguar Dash)

Zero- He is used as my Meter Battery and point Rushdown character. I will ocasionally switch out to Deadpool if Zero’s taken a beating.

Deadpool- Another Battery Rushdown character, but less emphasis is implied to the meter, due to how much Deadpool will use it. Although, I also use Deadpool as a defense character against the characters I have trouble defeating(Thor, Magneto, and Nemesis T-Type)

Wesker- My Anchor. If I’ve taken about a half of my opponents combined health, I’ll use my X-Factor and sweep the floor.

Ok. That is my team. What can I do to improve it?

I’ve tried Zero with Wesker Jaguar Dash before and it places the opponent in a spinning knockdown, making it a good setup for the Lightning Loop.

Only thing I’d change is Deadpool to his QCB+attack move (not sure of the name). I’ve seen it do well with Wesker, calling it out while doing jumping d+C gunshots (if timed right it’ll be unblockable due to a simultaneous high/low). Zero is less assist dependent, but you can use it in a similar fashion.

Hello everyone this is my first post and umvc3 is my first fighting game. I want to train and get to the point where I don’t suck ass 24/7 but im having trouble deciding who I should learn. Im pretty set on vergil and wesker because I love dmc and it sounds like vergil needs weskers otg assist for combos. I’m liking captain americas shield slash and trishs low voltage because they seem like easy characters for a noob like me to learn and im assuming those assists are awesome with vergils teleports. So what do you experts think would work best with this team? And what order should they be in? Feel free to tell me if my choices suck any advice is greatly appreciated. Hopefully I can play against you guys in the future and not lose my entire team in the first 30 seconds. Thanks for the help!

Hi im new to Marvel vs Capcom series, Im interesting with Hulk and Spiderman, can Hulk,Spider Man and Modok be good team,what Spiderman and Modok assist to help Hulk to get close and smash opponent.
need advice to make good team with Hulk based team.
Thanks for help.

Hulk doesn’t rely on assist simply do basic combo and reset.

Spiderman Web ball assist might be the best since its have a high hitstun.

I ain’t sure about MODOK as the anchor…In fact I really don’t know much about MODOK but I would go with Psionic Blast.

Iron Fist, Trish, Spencer.

I just started today, but I think this team is kind of neat, any suggestions?

Well Iron Fist is consider in the baddest character in game so if you dont have the proper team to run Him it might be Impossible for you to win.

Trish assist are the best combo breaker in game she is also great on point. (I consider it better than Hidden Missile and Drone)

Spencer is a really solid Anchor.

I would say Akuma Tatsu assist is needed to make Iron Fist decent…but if you find a secret tech with Trish it might be interesting ahah

It’s my first day in this game, why is he considered so bad?

All three of these characters are usually played a point characters, but in this case, MODOK’s assist greatly benefits both of them and if you’ve watched Nos99’s Science video, he can set up his own unblockables and has a lot of mobility and can make use of a lot of meter, so I think MODOK anchor makes the most sense, even if it doesn’t actually make that much sense. (Definitely agreed, Psionic Blast is the best choice IMO.)

Maybe Spiderman should be on point so that DHCs into Hulk would be more viable then DHCs into Spiderman? As for the Hulk assist, I wouldn’t really know though, I don’t know much about any of these characters.

But ultimately, I don’t think there is very much synergy between these three (usually) point characters; maybe consider dropping one for a beam or lockdown or anti-air or etc. assist?

EDIT: Iron Fist is considered “bad” because it can be hard for him to get in and he’s easily lamed out, especially in the air. Something like Tatsu assist allows him to get in and score combos, but you don’t necessarily need Tatsu assist.

Simply Low mobility and need Assist to score combo.

I dont want you to quit Iron Fist just saying that if you want to play HIM you need to have the proper assist.

Vergil doesn’t need Wesker’s OTG for combos, you are better off starting Wesker and having Vergil on the back since Vergil is a lot more dangerous with meters. I think you can try a generic Wesker/Vergil/any character with beam assist team. It’s overused and will get you hate mail quickly but it’s easy to use and teaches you the basics. The usual Hawkeye/Doom/Akuma are probably better choices for anchor than Cap or Trish.

Well i need help picking a character to use for my team. I currently use Wolvie to start and Dormammu as an anchor. I used zero in mvc3 and did pretty good, but i’m no bueno with him on umvc3 so any suggestions?

I would like someone who is a good balance for my team, i try to use other characters like Dante, Akuma, Wesker, Iron Fist, Nova, and Frank West but I haven’t practiced with them much.
