Trying Firebrand at the moment… he’s weird.

I made a team that has Skrull/Frank/Chris but I don’t think Chris fits in here at all. Can anyone help me with a third character?

As requested, a match uploaded between me and someone who isn’t a scrub.

I’ve never been more confused with Ironfist in my life.

So far, I’ve been playing Ironfist y/Hulk a/Akuma b. I got 100% kill combos, but other than that, I think this team lacks substance. I like DHCs and THCs alot, so I’ve thinking about pairing him with these characters (along with some type of projectile assist):

Nova
Super Skrull
Storm
Ryu
Frank West
Wolverine
Felicia

Just wondering, which one of these characters are the best fit for Ironfist? As an assist and a great DHC partner?

EDIT: Also, besides Justin, are there any Ironfist players to look at for some type of guidance?

I kind of like the team you have right now honestly lol. You can prob elaborate more on what you mean by substance , but ill give it a crack . If making iron fist as effective as possible , I think he needs 2 kinds of assist , an assist that makes aerial approaches costly, and assist u can convert to combos . Strider does this very well on both fronts , but he lacks DHC synergy/smh . Spencer does this job pretty well too , and has good DHC options off a fist of fury .

As to your list , ryu is no better than akuma in ur scenario , nova and skrull give u decent DHC options but the assist aren’t great , storm is IMO the best one on that list , whirlwind is solid and hail storm works everywhere , frank isn’t far behind with shopping cart assist and hyper. I don’t think wolverine is great assist wise for iron fist. Even when justin Wong uses his iron fist wolverine akuma team. You rarely see wolverine assist come out. I honestly don’t know enough about felicia to comment .

Lastly , DragonGod has a good ironfist , but he may have moved on :frowning:

Hey guys I need help with my Wesker/Dante team. I love the synergy between both of them but the last character is my problem. I use either weasel shot or jam session, depends on the matchup. For right now I’ve been running sentinel as anchor, and the assist is great but sentinel isn’t the best anchor. What other characters are good for the anchor spot on my team?

Well, I’m back haha. Anyways I was just wondering what the community opinion is on Taskmaster + Akuma Tatsu Assist (I used to run Nova, Taskmaster, Strider; I’m now running Nova, Taskmaster, Akuma)

I’ve been experimenting around recently and I’ve found that I’m a lot more comfortable with Akuma rather than Spencer (lower execution bar :P). How useful do you think the Tatsu assist is to Taskmaster? Taskmaster’s forward dash is pretty fast so I think it’s pretty useful, but I’m wondering what others think.

Hey guys, partially new to this game…
I have been watching a lot of games online and I’ve been playing around with…

Ryu (Tatsu)
Hawkeye (Triple Arrow)
??? = My scene told me to try out Wesker. Any other thoughts on this?

I’d love to use Ghost Rider more, but he does have a few glaring weaknesses. What are some good assists to support him? I’m finding some success with Nova’s shield, and I also love playing Nova. Who’d be a good third for them? Wesker’s easy to play but neither of them need an OTG assist. I’m thinking someone like Sentinel or Taskmaster for projectile support, or would a lockdown like Akuma or Amaterasu work better?

Well it seems like there is a lot more questions than answers so I’ll try to help out with my very limited knowledge with this game. I don’t play Ghost Rider but it seems he has a strong horizontal game. Maybe you should try out hidden missiles as a good vertical assist. Edit: It seems I say it seems way too much. -_-

I like using Vergil and Zero, so far they are 2 of my best characters in UMvC3, and I’ve been trying to have them in the same team together, I’ve tried Zero(a)/Iron Fist(y)/Vergil(y), Zero(a)/Nova(a)/Vergil(y), and Zero(a0/Ghost Rider(b)/Vergil(y). Right now I’m using Zero(a)/Vergil(y)/Sentinel(b) and I don’t know how well this team would work, and I was wondering if I should keep this team the same or should i go with any other character with a good OTG assist or a assist that can work well with Zero and Vergil? Thanks in advance.

Zero, Vergil, Sent is a pretty great team in my opinion. Drones is a great assist as we all know , but sometimes sent gets blown up because he is on screen so long. But zero covers him very well. Especially with a buster charged up. The team is alil low on the stamina side, but if u get your mastery up with zero and vergil , you’ll be killing most characters on first touch

Hey guys! I’ve been wondering lately if my team had good synergy and whatnot…I run Nemesis, Hsien-ko and Morrigan. I sometimes replace Nemmy for Tron. What do you guys think of this? I deff wanna keep both hsienko and Morrigan on my team but can’t find a point tank character that would do well with them…any help would be great! Thanks<333

can anyone recommend me a character who goes extremely well with drones? i’ve been playing magneto/sentinel/wesker since day 1 of vanilla, but i find that there is a lack of synergy between sentinel and wesker (granted, the team still works because of how good wesker is @_@).

i was going to give c.viper a shot (she has godly high-lows for easy mixups during drones lockdown, just like magneto), but apparently she needs an assist that causes knockdown to do her better BnB’s, which neither magneto nor sentinel provide. among the other tridash characters, storm and doom are cool but i find that they don’t have the options magneto does, which is why i was looking at c.viper.

who else is there?

Gottnoskill already replied to you on the viper boards, viper doesn’t need a special sort of assist to do damage, she can extend her combos with almost every assist in the game. Also there nothing like ‘her better’ bnb’s because her combopotential almost allows you to freestyle like with mags or dante. Plus she already does above average damage without assists (about 750k ish for one meter , if you don’t get too fancy that is), so even then she will outdamage most other options, except doom. Give her a shot. Having a strong neutral assist is way more important for viper, and drones does that job just great.

@luluchan If you start Hsein-ko on point, activate her super armor, and swap in your big guy you can choose pretty much any big character at that point. I think Hulk and Nemesis are really good options. The fear of Hsein-ko’s assist is going to enourage alot of super jumping or blocking, Either scenario really benefits Nemesis command grab game, Hulk works too because if they super jump they are asking for a standing H, and if they block you can get some ridiculous pressure with game charges with hsein-ko assist.

@Hax Who are you exactly trying to replace? It sounded like you wanted to replace Wesker but then kind of shifted towards magneto. I think Magneto has alot of synergy with drones, and so does Wesker in my opinion. Generally anyone with a fast tri dash or a horizontal teleport can make great use of drones. Viper works pretty well with Magneto, I believe Marlin Pie put Mags and Viper together. I wouldnt be discouraged by not having a knockdown assist, so give viper a whirl. Haggar and drones have been pretty popular as of late, and spiderman has some good drone synergy.

thanks for the input

basically, i’m looking for a character other than magneto who has great high-lows for when drones has them locked down. drones + teleport mixups are good, but i find that the assist is made for high-lows because of how long it traps them.

storm satisfies this but i find that she is limited as a character

dorm and doom are too slow for my tastes

viper seems like the best option unless i’m forgetting anyone…?

@Hax Wolverine or Zero

Hax if speed is what you are looking for then Felicia is another option. If you have kitty helper activated while drones locks them down you can get some really good mixups. :tup:

Thank you! I was also gonna give Hulk a try as well. It just seems that you need to have either Wesker or Doom on your team to succeed :frowning:
