I’m looking into two possible teams: one for Zero and one for Strider Hiryu. I’m also trying to fit Dante on both teams since I really like using him and he seems versatile enough to go anywhere.
Zero (assist unsure), Vergil (Rapid Slash), Dante (Jam Session)
I’ve been reading around and both those characters seem pretty good for Zero. Zero and Vergil seem to have a lot of good synergy and I’m sure Dante could be a decent anchor.
I’ve seen MarlinPie and Clockw0rk run Amaterasu as anchor so I figured she couldn’t be a terrible anchor. Dante and Hiryu would both benefit from Cold Star assist, and I have Dante as a battery for Hiryu, and if I lose Dante, I still have Hiryu with a solid assist for his gameplan kind of like Clockw0rk’s team. Doctor Doom is also a candidate for anchor, but I want to see if Amaterasu fits the bill first.
Should I use an otg assist aside from wesker’s gunshot to extend vergil’s combos? because the only reason I’m doing Vergil/Wesker instead of Wesker/Vergil is for the extended combos
I’ve never needed an OTG assist for Vergil, but that’s just me. You also shouldn’t just let Wesker sit out front until he dies anyway, so you’ll still have the assist at some point.
Retarded team to begin with, but what’s the most retarded person to put in the second slot? They have to be able to extend Wesker’s derpy derp ABC123 combo(which pretty much any character can do), be okay for mixing up with Wesker teleports, and be a good meter dump. I was thinking Tasky or Dorm?
I need help coming up with a team that suits me well, what 3 do you think would have the best synergy out of the following:
Deadpool
Doctor Strange
Dormammu
Iron Fist
Taskmaster
Hawkeye
Rocket Raccoon
Hey I’m looking for an anchor to make Nemesis and Ryu work. Any ideas? I’m hoping for someone like Strider, Nova or Hawkeye, but not sure if they make much sense. I’m a fairly new player to umvc3. I was thinking Wesker could also probably work but I don’t really like him. I’m open to any ideas.
I don’t like Strider as an anchor for this team because you really can’t do much with those characters if you get a hard knockdown from Vajira assist, Nova or Hawkeye seems to be the way to go in your case, just pick the one you like the most.
I feel like the team would incite rage from rushdown, I would probably run tasky as anchor and hawkeye on point. 'pool with katanarama assist. It would probably get the job done, but where is the magicks?
Any suggestions for someone to supplement X-23 on point and Dorm (Black Hole) as anchor? I like those two but have had problems finding a nice fit for the second character.
Dante works really well with X-23, Jam Session lets you do her unblockable lvl 3, forgot what its called, locks down the opponent for left/right mixups. You could also extend her combos with it in vanilla, not sure if that still works in Ultimate (well with a little creativity almost anything works, whether its very effective or not is another matter). You can also do high/low unblockables with Dante on point, Ankle Slice assist.
Doom’s also a good choice, Plasma Beam makes everybody better, and DHC from X23 (either super) to Sphere Flame is really good. Dante and Doom also work really well with Dorm, so there’s that too.
Looking for someone to spearhead my team of Firebrand and Doom, I’m thinking maybe Spencer or Dorm, but I haven’t had any lab time recently, so I haven’t been able to try out anything. Any other ideas?
Nemesis ( Launcher Slam ) ,Iron Man ( Repulsar ) ,Dr Strange ( Daggers )
My team initially is made up of alot of fanfare. Im a big Nemesis fan, and an even bigger Iron Man fan. I love Nemesis on point and im determined to work with him there. I like iron man second because I really don’t like him as an anchor, I think he just needs help in some kind of way because his air dashes are slower and frankly just less safe because of no blocking thing anymore. I decided to go with Dr Strange because his assist are helpful to both Nemesis and Iron Man, and im at least convinced at the moment he can hold his own as an anchor.
I like using Repulsar assist because it blows up teleporters which can be an issue with Nemesis, and covers the space below me if I’m using jumping deadly reaches.
What criticism do you guys have for this team?I know there is alot of love for other assist for iron man and Dr Strange, so any advice on a assist substitution would be welcomed as well. I know this is a monster team by any means, but I think I can handle most situations. any and all criticism is welcome and appreciated, Thanks.
I agree with Nemesis on point, pretty much the only place he works imo, and Iron Man as anchor. If the opponent just chooses to run away from him there isn’t really anything he can do lol. I don’t really think Strange is a good anchor (outside of Spell of Vishanti, shit is amazing in Xfactor), but I don’t know much about him. Repulsor is a good assist, I used it on my Hulk team. You can probably set up some nice resets with it, since the opponent will recover in mid-air after being hit by it.
For Dr. Strange I would go with Bolts of Ballwhatever. Most characters can just duck under it to avoid it and will do so, but with Iron man that gives you an opportunity to go for jump attacks with some fly-cancel fanciness to mix it up, or his extremely fast airdash-down>low attack. I suppose it could also provide cover for Nemesis if you want to go in with him, or you could call Strange, jump and shoot a rocket to cover screen space pretty well.
Poor Iron Man, he was one of my fav Marvel characters as a kid but I think he’s absolutely terrible in this game lol. Hope you have better luck with him than I have.
So, right now I’m running X-23 (ankle slice)/Wesker (samurai edge)/Strider (Vadjra). It feels pretty strong, though it’d be stronger if I could play as Strider worth a damn. So my question is, does this team have any glaring weaknesses I should know about?
Also thinking about making “for fun” team involving Hsien-Ko since everybody hates Wesker right now. >_> I’m thinking one of my above mains/Hsien-Ko/Taskmaster. Thoughts?
Spencer could go in that first slot. He’s a solid point character, builds meter decently, and Hsien-Ko likes the Slant Shot assist. It has weird synergies, but it’s a fun team.
I still find it strange how I’ve heard of multiple people running that same exact team. But hey, like I said, it’s fun. As for using one of your above mains, I’m not too sure. Maybe X-23? Strider really wants meter.
