Fairly new player here. I haven’t played online yet but I’ve followed the goings on of the game since vanilla. Recently picked up Ultimate and am looking for input
Zero/ Vergil/ Dr. Doom
Ryuenjin/ Judgement cut/ Plasma Beam
I’m using Judgement cut to extend Zero’s OTG, and Plasma Beam as my beam assist(Would hidden missiles be better?). Not really sure about Zero’s assist, didn’t really know what else to use.
What I’m wondering is if Doom should be on Anchor… I feel like he’s got really great damage without Xfactor, but I’m skeptical about switching anchors. I like using Zero as a battery because he can deal good damage without using meter, and Vergil can make good use of that meter with his level 4. -shrug-
So I’ve been practicing with Vergil , Dr Doom , Zero .
For the assist it’s Judgement Cut , Molecular Shield , and Ryuenjin
Any suggestions ? I kinda wanna take out zero for someone better but don’t know who yet
Can anyone also someone explain to me what anchor is and all that other stuff ? Been playing fighting games since I was a kid but this is the first time I’ve ever heard that .
I’m looking for some general advice on my team
Right now I’ve been running Iron Fist(Rising Fang) Virgil (sword slash) and Doom (Beam assist)
I’ve found I have a fair amount of trouble getting in with Iron Fist and tend to drop combos with him so I’m looking for an alternate on point. I’m pretty good and set with the other two. I’ve thought about putting Akuma or Ryu on point or possibly Zero. Are these some good options or are there some other people I should be looking for that would have good synergy with Virgil and Doom?
MODOK (Balloon Bomb or Psionic Blaster)/Hulk (Anti-air gamma charge) is a good pair. MODOK is good at attacking the opponent from up close, as well has shooting lasers and bombs at them from far away, but he has trouble when a fast opponent is attacking him (Wolverine, Amaterasu). This is why Hulk assist is good for him. The Anti-Air assist actually has armor, which means it can absorb an attack and still hit. This makes it great for getting people off of MODOK. MODOK’s assists can both help Hulk to get close and smash opponent. His Psionic Blaster (the laser) and Balloon Bomb can both let Hulk approach more easily. You probably want to go with Psionic Blaster, because it goes through other projectiles. That means that if the opponent keeps throwing projectiles so that Hulk cannot get close, Psionic Blaster assist will usually get rid of the projectiles.
As far as a third character goes, I don’t think Spider-man would be good on that team. You would probably want an assist that helps both MODOK and Hulk get close to the opponent and hit them. The two best choices are probably Sentinel with Sentinel force (charge) assist (My favorite) or Doctor Doom with Hidden Missiles assist. They are both pretty good by themselves, as well as being easy to learn and good for beginners.
Hope this helps!
That team actually could turn out rather well. Iron Fist needs a projectile assist to help him get close to the opponent. If you use Trish with her low voltage assist, you can dash in behind the projectile she shoots. With Spencer, you should probably use his Slant Shot assist ( I think that’s what it’s called). It has a unique property of putting the opponent into a standing position in a combo. This is the only way you can use Iron Fist’s Launcher :s: attack after knocking the opponent into the air. This makes it very useful in his combos.
You may want to switch the positions of Trish and Spencer. In my opinion, Trish’s assist would be more helpful for Spencer than his would be for her. I also think that she is a better anchor than him, though both are capable.
Also, Iron Fist isn’t a great character. But he is a very fun one and is satisfying to win with.
I was thinking about using Dante (jam session)/ x23 (idk yet)/ and dorm (dark hole). What’s the best assist for x23 and should u switch the order around? Thx for all the help!
At the moment I wanna build a team with High control and Answer to everything.
For the moment I have:
Ryu/Vergil/Wesker
I also run:
Deadpool/Doom/Sentinel
I would love to have Fix and maybe Idea of team that have High control I also prefer character that require little execution because I play with a controller.
The problem with the first team is it’s not good at dealing with keepaway. Ryu has a harder time getting close, and he doesn’t have a “real” projectile assist to help him here. Furthermore, Vergil and Wesker don’t have a horizontal assist to help them mix up either. So you probably should drop one of those characters for a beam/arrow assist.
I’ve been practicing a lot in Mission mode, and been trying countless team combinations, and I have finally come across some constants in my play style, but now I do need help in my team assembly.
On point I have noticed I do well with Nemesis, and tend to do a good job building meter and keeping my opponents on the defensive with him. I’ve used other big characters like Hulk in this spot, but I always seem to pull more weight and meter with Nemesis, plus I like his ranged moves.
As for my anchor, I tend to do well with characters like Taskmaster, Frank, Strider, and Captain America. What I need to know is what do you all think would be a good anchor for being teamed with Nemesis.
The area I need the most help is with assist. I’ve been using Firebrand in this spot, but I only think he does semi-ok cause few people know how to properly deal with his aerial antics. I have been looking at Hawkeye, Dr. Strange, and other projectile heavy characters to change out for, so any help in this area would be great.
Hey guys Im having trouble with the pro’s and cons for my team can anyone help? Dorm(Purification)/C.Viper(Seismic Wave)/Dante(Crystal) if anyone have important infomation about my team pls suggest its flaws. Thanks
Your order might be biggest problem , if you lose dormammu … Viper has only dante to work with to get in. That doesn’t sound great to me. Dante is a fine anchor .
It seems like your gameplan is based off extended dorm combos using vipers otg , its a good plan but unneeded , u can extend combos with dante assist and flame carpet .
I think an optimize order would be viper , dorm , dante.
If u insist on viper second , switch the assist to burning kick . Like said u can extend with dante , burning kick used with flame carpet is an unblockable setup.
I’d agree with MixTape about playing it Viper/Dorm/Dante.
Viper is likely best going 1st as she’s mostly a heavy rushdown character with the ability to do lots of damage without needing to start with much meter.
Dorm being 2nd means you have access to his brilliant DHCs. Chaotic Flame is damaging as hell, and Stalking Flare is safe for the most part and can be used to finish off characters Viper couldn’t quite kill and it will stick around to lock down the following incoming character
Dante has all the tools in the world and is commonly said to have no bad matchups. In XF3 he has no trouble killing characters. He also has good options as a DHC for Dorm.
Thanks for help,use Modok and Spiderman kinda Hard to me, finally i switch to Ghost Rider and Captain America,what best assist to Help Huk to get close and punish opponent.
need advice
Thanks
