Classic Fighting Games Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3

After a bit of research and learning the mechanics of the game better, Morrigan - Dark Harmonizer/Dr. Doom - Hidden Missiles/Super-Skrull - Stone Smite is starting to look really appealing to me. Now that I’m no longer button mashing, Skrull is much more playable and his long-range grapples are really satisfying. I’m choosing Stone Smite over the other two because I think it’ll help Morrigan OTG in combos. This DOES leave Doom in a position of not having a great general utility assist but it seems to me that Doom can function fairly well without one (which makes me think maybe I should have him on anchor?).

Also since I freaking love Phoenix Wright, I want to see if I can work him into this team as an alternate for when I’m feeling saucy. I’m still a complete novice and Morrigan is already a difficult character so I’d rather focus on her right now but in the future, I’d love to have Wright on my team.

I was thinking Phoenix Wright - Paperwork/Morrigan - Dark Harmonizer/Dr. Doom - Hidden Missiles. I think Phoenix can really use the extra meter provided by Morrigan and Doom’s Hidden Missiles should keep foes off my back while I collect evidence. The only thing that concerns me is not having a more immediate pressure-reducing assist to help Wright better against rushdown characters. I’d love to hear some opinions on this/advice on how to rework it from more experienced players.

Also, as an aside, I’m so glad this community is here. Fighting games have always appealed to me since I was a kid mashing on a MvC2 cabinet in the comic book shop next to my father’s store. They’ve always been way too difficult, expensive and intimidating for me to learn how to play properly but now I finally feel like I’m getting it largely thanks to the SRK community.

Thanks guys!

EDIT: Added some thoughts on the second team.

942

Skrull is too good on anchor position to pass up. Just let Doom die after spamming some keepaway so Skrull will have the meter he needs to destroy everything.

943

Will do, thanks for the tips!

944

If you haven’t already I’d check out Nasty’s Skrull Guide. It’s got all sorts of useful shit and will give you some awesome tips on what kind of stuff Skrull can do under X-Factor conditions.

945

This looks freaking awesome. Thanks!

946

P Dub needs a get off me though. And that’s not really something Morrigan and Doom offers. Granted Morrigan can bust out meter for some order in the court to provide a switch to investigation mode/eliminate bad evidence but he still needs a get off/lockdown/harras

947

Would PW/Doom/Skrull work? I’m thinking PW - paperwork stoned/Doom - Plasma Beam/Skrull - Tenderizer might work. I’m too green to know if Tenderizer is an effective lock-down but it seems like it would be.

948

Funny. I was thinking Tenderizer for possible lockdown but I don’t think you can just throw it out there… that may be a better question for the Skrull board.

949

Kay, I’ll point my question in that direction, thanks!

p.s. Actually, hell, might Morrigan Dark Harmonizer/Doom - Plasma Beam work? I lose Doom’s Hidden Missiles but from what I understand, Plasma Beam is a damn good get off me assist and then I also get Morri’s Dark Harmonizer. How much work will it be to get in the three DHs to have meter for Order In the Court!?

950

Doom’s beam is more of a “Fuck your hitboxes I have a beam” assist rather then a get off me. A get off me would be a pre-emptive Anti Air assist like Jam Session or Vanilla Lariat. Vanilla Lariat would have been godlike for P Dub

951

i wanna use vergil but im really unsure of which other 2 characters i should use on my team
i would really appreciate suggestions
p.s. i like frank west too but have trouble getting him to level 4-5 quickly

952

Trying to find a third character for my Iron Man/Deadpool team. I was using Sentinel in anchor slot but I felt it was not working out as I hate playing Sentinel as anchor. Some characters I’m thinking of trying are Nemesis (Nemesis/Deadpool/Iron Man), Doom (Iron Man/Deadpool/Doom) or Spencer (Spencer/Deadpool/Iron Man) but if anyone has any character suggestions they think would benefit these two I’d love to hear them.

953

Vergil is one of the best characters for leveling up Frank, the combo features Viper but there are a million ways to set up a raw tag off a Lunar Phase. Both Vergil/Frank/____ and _____/Vergil/Frank are extremely strong.

954

Hi, uh…I’ve been having a huge team crisis lately.

When Ultimate first came out I ran She Hulk (Torpedo)/ IronMan (Unibeam)/ Ammy (Cold Star) and used that team for awhile and, while I was comfortable with it, I had no idea what to do with it as far as resets and combos. Also the team kinda gets crapped upon since She Hulk got hit pretty hard with the nerfs, as well as IM.

Instead I’ve been running: Magneto (Disruptor)/ IronMan (Unibeam)/ Spencer (Slant Shot) and Chris (Grenade)/ IronMan(Unibeam)/ Spencer (Slant Shot) as a change of pace and while they seem like good teams, I’m really not sure what to do with them during matches at all. I have no idea how to get in with my Magneto team and on the Chris team, Chris feels more like a liability since I never know how to play him. They really don’t have problems with combos, but only practicing combos won’t get me anywhere obviously.

Also, I don’t really like using Magneto that much since I don’t care for the character, which bothers me since I’m pretty decent with him. The opposite with Chris, I love the character but I have no clue what the hell I’m doing at all. I only really like using characters that I, well, actually like too. Should I try adding anyone or switch things around?

The only other characters I really care for in the game that I’d be willing to play are:
She Hulk, Amaterasu, Trish, Rocket Raccoon, Tron, Jill, Vergil, Frank West, Phoenix Wright, C.Viper, Chun Li, Dr. Strange and Ryu.

The only ones that I even know how to use well from those are She Hulk, Tron, and Ammy.
Should I maybe use one of those? Execution really isn’t a problem for me at all (I have a pretty good Iron Man, I’d say) but I can’t seem to piece together one possible team from that selection that has good enough synergy since I love using IronMan and don’t intend to really drop him, especially since I’ve mained him from Day 1 of Vanilla (I kinda feel the same with She Hulk).

Sorry if this is too much lol. I just have no idea what I’m doing any more and need some advice on my setup. Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

EDIT: Also, should I just suck it up and use someone I don’t like? I REALLY would like to avoid that, but if anyone thinks it would be for the best, then I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try. Although this may end up having to happen since most of the characters I love are ass lol

955

I have a very quick question, who are really good anchors in UMvC3 cause I’m willing to do some experimenting with new anchors in my teams to see if they get better in the long run. Thank you in advance.

956

Dante (devil trigger can make up for lack of xf)
Doom. (can do it. But is more a “mop’em up” then a "bring it back 3 v 1)
Wesker. (limited but easy with xf)
Spencer (limited but fantastic with xf)
Dorm. (see doom. Exceptional when opponent has no xf)
Arthur (see dorm)
Sentinel (see doom)
Morrigan (see doom)
Strider (easy xf3+uroboros) has the tools to anchor)
Akuma (good and dangerous with xf)
Phoenix (dark Phoenix is still powerful)
Vergil (the Japanese be doin it. They must be on to something)

957

^^^ add skrull

958

playing some friends in vanilla, this has been a problem since day 1- I have no secondary character to fall back on in that game! My main is Skrull, and then Arthur is third, but I haven’t found anyone that I can really settle on. Sometimes I like Storm, sometimes Deadpool, sometimes Doom, maybe X23, but nothing seems “perfect”. who would be a good fit for Skrull/Arthur?

959

Chris will find plenty of use from Ammy.

Reason: lockdown via cold star = Chris can throw fire grenades.

Chris is a control character. He has good health. A very good throw range. Several otgs. And very solid damage.

While he may not have many reset opportunities he makes up for it with his insane ability to chip. If they won’t let Chris chip then MAKE them take chip with Ammy’s lockdown.

Simply, Chris really starts to be a problem when he can throw H grenades everywhere. Ammy can help

Spencer slant shot will help him bag full damage off grenade super then grant you possible extension into A THC or his other hyper.

I recommend that team be Chris (gunfire) Spencer (Slant Shot) Ammy (cold star).

Ammy is the best anchor in this team. Chris builds Meter VERY well. Spencer helps him and can DHC well with him.

I’m running multiple teams, but I’m also waiting to beef up my execution before using other characters as well. So right now, my main teams are:

Wesker (Samurai Edge)/Vergil (Rapid Slash)/Akuma (Tatsu)

Wesker (Samurai Edge)/Dormammu (Dark Hole)/Akuma (Tatsu)

Right now, these are the easiest characters for me to use, and as such, they’re most effective for me. I really like Akuma with level 3X-Factor, but I’m trying to learn how to play without it. I know Akuma assist got nerfed, but it’s still good. It’s just a bit difficult to open them up with Wesker. I don’t want to use Wesker as anchor because I just don’t want to be cheap, and garner the flack that comes with Dark Wesker. Dormammu is actually really good when paired with Wesker, but I’m wondering if anyone has any information on unblockables with them.
