Arthur is a top tier anchor. Just seeing that guy in the last position makes me terrified.
And also excited because it’s nice to not play against Wesker every once and a while.
Going through a mid character crisis… haha
I was really hoping to be able to use Zero effectively, but he’s just not my kind of character (execution is okay offline, online is where Zero’s simple BnB’s get ridiculous for me). Anyways, I did use Zero/Vergil and I ended up liking Vergil. So as for my new formulated team:
Vergil (Rapid Slash), Taskmaster (Horizontal Arrows), Wesker (Samurai Edge)
This is it so far… but I’m wondering if there are better point characters than Vergil. I’ve been thinking about Jill recently, but I’m not sure how well she meshes with Taskmaster and Wesker. Also do you guys think that Taskmaster and Wesker are able to work well together? I’m not sure how easily Taskmaster will be able to get in without a beam or projectile assist.
have you ever though about trying to be able to control jill on anchor? She’s god like if you can handle her. lvl 3 hyper combo and xf lvl 3 is the fastest thing in the game.
I’m pretty new to UMvC and fighting games in general. I’m trying to assemble a team taking characters that I like as the most important (especially if I’m going to spend so long with them) but also trying to keep team synergy in mind.
The characters that I know and like the best are Dr. Doom and Morrigan. I’m looking for a third to fill this team. I’m interested in firebrand, dr. strange, vergil, shuma-gorath, phoenix wright and possibly ammy, deadpool, wolverine, hulk, x-23 or magneto. I’m less interested in the latter six.
Any recommendations on the third team member as well as team order/assists? Thanks.
I am now getting better with dormamu and have tried him with dante and viper.I usually use dante as my main with dormamu to try and kill off any one with low health.My viper skills suck badly so which characters flow better with dormy?
Morrigan/Dr.Doom (Hidden Missile)
Is a pretty solid shell since you can use Morrigan Astral Vision to obtain the control of the entire screen with double Soul Fist and Hidden Missile assist.
The third one in this shell could be anyone that is considered a Good Anchor.
Anchor have good Hyper and benefit the most from x-Factor 3, You list a few good anchor: Ammy,Vergil,Firebrand and Dr.Strange
I would suggest you to play Ammy or Vergil simply because Firebrand and Dr.Strange are way harder to play and since your new to the game it might seem impossible to achieve good result.
For assist I would go with Ammy(Cold Star) and for Vergil (Rapid Slash) note that Rapid Slash have no Invincibility so dont spam it.
Ah that’s good, I actually have a bit of experience with Ammy and Vergil interested me back when I was playing vanilla. I’m going to try out Vergil a bit more then decide.Thanks!
Do you guys think a team of X-23/Firebrand/Hawkeye will work?
So I was thinking of modifying my team of Felicia/Frank West/Dante (All using Alpha assist)
I love the Felicia/Frank synergy and they are my best characters but… Dante just isnt working out. He isnt a good anchor and Im pretty bad at playing him.
I want Felicia on Point because of favorite character but… I can’t find a character who fits this team as well as Dante…
How I wish Vergil had Jam session =[
Fersnachi have you tried drones or a beam assist like disruptor? I like to use them to get in with Felicia. I was hoping I could get some advice on a few teams I’ve been experimenting with.
-
Nemesis/Dante/Iron Man my team involving a heavy. IM provided a beam assist for Nem and Dante but he feels really bad as an anchor so I switched to IM/Nem/Dante. Launcher Slam helps extend IM combos, Jam Session is good but does it really provide anything for getting in? Also, if I make a heavy team do you think Tron (I haven’t heard anything good about her in Ultimate) is good to run on point or should I stick with Nem? If so then what type of assists does Tron benefit from?
-
Felicia/Doom/Sent This has been my original team for quite some time. Missiles for people who like to play keep away and drones for mix ups/offensive pressure. A solid team in my opinion but if you think something would work better I’d be happy to hear it. Preferably no Wesker and the usual.
If you think I should switch out any characters for whatever reason then here are some other characters enjoy playing as and would like to incorporate into my teams: Magneto, Deadpool, Zero, Akuma, and Tron. Sorry if this is asking for a lot. Thanks in advance.
Hi guys. Im relativley new to the whole fighting game scene and im running a team of 3 characters I like either from other games or my childhood.
My team right now is Wolverine/Frank West/Wesker. I dont really know how any of these 3 work in this game but I just love the characters themselves.
My other team is Vergil/Hawkeye/Deadpool cause I like the characters aswell xD
Any tips?
Thanks!
I have a question regarding my teams and honestly what team I need to go with
I’ve been playing for nearly a month now and honestly I’ve hit the point where I’m frustrated enough to commit to training a little more seriously to get better. I finally have a friend that plays it too so hopefully we can get better together but I don’t want to waste time with characters I won’t use so I just wanted to ask some opinions on two of my teams
my main since the beginning almost was X-23, Doom, Nova in that order. This has served me well but combos give me issue when it comes to both x-23 and nova but that cna be remedied with some practice. At the same time though i started using Strider/Doom/Nova and have been getting some promising results. So just a few opinions on what team you think has more synergy and may work best and which one I should put my, admittedly limited, time into? keep in mind that I am new and most of my techniques I learn from Assist Me! noob acts humble
I personally think both of your teams are good , and I really like the look of your strider team. However the conventional wisdom is not to have strider on point. He has low life and you won’t get to use his awesome vajra assist.
I think generally both ur teams are effective , but could use some order switching . Your first team, x23 and nova work great together ,because they can create unblockable setups with their assist. When u have x23 out , using nova centurion rush assist is an overhead , so u attempt an ankle slice or any low for that matter , it works on reverse too , x23 ankle slice assist is low , so with nova u can do his forward H , or centurion rush m . Both those characters love some beam assist and doom provides that in spades. For this reason , I think u should move doom to anchor , so he can freely supper X23 and Nova
Your strider team , could use a switch between nova and strider , strider is a very good anchor, and now u can make use of vajra. Having nova on point with vajra really puts ur opponent on notice , vajra will cause a hardknock if it hits (airborne only?), and nova to me is the best character in picking up knockdowns for full combos from anywhere on screen. Then with doom as your second , you have another character that can pickup knockdowns for full combos. Your opponent will need to be careful with aerial approaches becuz getting hit by stryder will most likely lead to full combo. Some ppl will try to lame out doom , but that’s pretty hard from the ground cuz his plasma beam will beat out most things , strider prevents them from trying to be lame on air .
So there you go , I dunno who h one of those too styles you like more . Forgive my grammar , just did that from phone
He doesn’t need orbs to rape a team. As long as he has XF3 he can TOD 2 people which then he’ll surely have meter to orb the last character he wants. That’s considering you somehow lose 2 characters with such a strong assist as vajra. Just like any assist you’ll have to learn your assist footsies and learn when and when you should not call vajra. Usually the best way to call it is have a projectile or stupid normal covering it to limit the chances of him getting punished.
Strider is an anchor that you’ll pretty much always be saving XF for as long as your team is strong enough. His incoming mix ups are more stupid than Wesker’s and still easily lead to TOD’s.
Strider is so hard to land a clean hit on that it really doesn’t matter any way. All of the higher health characters ARE MUCH easier to land clean hits on. Definitely staying with Strider. This game is about not getting hit to begin with and Strider has better tools when it comes to that.
thanks so much for the quick reply and for writing all of that on the phone lol. Yea I normally have Nova or X-23 on point so thanks I’m just gonna really have to work on both and see which works better cause I’d LIKE to be good with X-23 but I’m a little more naturally good with Strider. I’m really needin to work on a main team and you gave some great info, thanks again.
Good ghost rider team comps? Are the assist you chose to compliment him supposed to be geared towards increased keep away (beams/hidden misslie/etc) or protection from rushdown (lariat/gammacharge).
Ummm… I am beginning to have a team crisis.
I realize that my team of Deadpool/Taskmaster/Doom is really an online based team with its keepaway.
However, even though I want to switch teams, I don’t want to stray too far away from having a keepaway option.
Unfortunately, my execution is pretty poor, so even though I tried using zero, I couldn’t do his basic bnb consistently.
What very good characters can I used that have some sort of keepaway and have a small learning curve?
And finally, I’m probably going to keep Deadpool on my team. He is the most underrated character in UMVC3 and I want to use him on all my teams.
Ok well I will try to help you out in the best possible way.
First your team is terrible, they all really good character on their own but they have low Synergy put together.
Deadpool is a really good on Point and as an Anchor.
On Point:
I would suggest learning Dante since he might be the best partner for Deadpool.Also I do believe Dante is a pretty easy character…in fact outside of C.Viper and Zero they all pretty easy to play…
Deadpool/Dante(Jam session)
Dante open door to Deadpool,perfect DHC,perfect Assist and also it’s simply stylish.
if you can perform Deadpool BnB you should be able to perform Dante BnB with ease.
Now for the anchor you want someone that have Good Hyper and can Abuse X-Factor 3.
Quickly you could go with Taskmaster since he got the best overall match up in the whole game.You could go with Hawkeyes who offer a powerful level 1 Ultimate that can punish almost every Hyper.You could go with Sentinel who will give you the so powerful Drone but also an Easy high damaging Monster that pack Load of Great Hyper.I would also suggest Wesker and Spencer because of their overall Win Rate and they are easy to pick.
As the Anchor I would go with that team:
Wolverine,Akuma(Tatsu),Deadpool
Simple Safe Rush Down
So I hope that helped ^^
Dante. He has an odd way of keep away. But Tasky Horizontal Arrows and doom beam give him plenty of time for any of his projectiles.
You can always cancel to weasel shot and call assist to back up and deal chip.
I know this is a random question but even though i have my two main teams that I’m actively trying to get good with I’m a HUGE Resident Evil fan and I noticed a genuine lack of Resident Evil characters is ANY of my teams. So I pose this question to you guys. whats a good team using as many of the RE characters as possible (I am looking for synergy). I’ve tried Wesker and Chris with Doom but It didn’t click with me so what do you guys think about a Resident Evil based team so I can have a fun team for shits n giggles but also would be effective against friends?
