Official and Only Team Building Thread (ALL TEAM BUILDING TOPICS GO HERE)

do you all think a doom (beam)/ammy (coldstar)/vergil team would work? I build a lot of meter with doom and ammy for my anchor vergil. My goal is to actually have Vergil in with meter and either assist so I can teleport as well with good meter which means I will probably have to use a TAC to get my vergil in

I used to play Vergil/wesker/doom in December but I just got really sick of wesker and the game. Wesker was always a fraud on my team and I just abused x factor with him.

anyway, any comments?

I’ll try to respond and hopefully help everyone’s question.

Ironman should get Unibeam instead to cover Chun-Li’s approach, since you already have Strider with Vajra covering the air having Replusor Blast would be repetitive. For this team I’d would definitely keep Chun-Li since if Iron man was point and he died then there would only be Strider covering the air but not her approach.

I would suggest replacing a member of your team it really depends on who you want to play with your team, with your team don’t have any assists that can cover Vergil’s teleports, no lockdown assist for C.Viper to deal pressure to the opponent, Spencer can work as anchor just need to be careful with your zipline approaches.

With that team I think Doom (Hidden Missile)/Frank West (Shopping Cart)/ Morrigan(Dark Harmonizer) would be better, Frank West anchor has a hard time making a comeback if he’s still level 1. Having Frank West on second would help him level up. (Do a doom combo then TAC (Frank West comes in) do the plunger loop in the air (j.:m:–>:qcf::l:) x2–>j.:d::h:—>:qcf::s: Strange is best on point or second since he has problems with his own regarding how some of his normals are bad if you do want to put Strange on the team give him an assist that will keep the opponent away (Doom’s Molecular Shield or Plasma beam since you like Doom). Hawkeye is a good zoner he works anywhere on the team, point if you want to do an inital zoning game or anchor to make x factor level 3 comebacks since his chip damage in xfactor 3 can be tremendous is played right.

-Akuma works well on point or anchor he can do well with or without assists and definitely pick the Tatsumaki assist very versatile.

Wolverine (Berseker Slash)/Iron Man (Unibeam)/Akuma (Tatsu) or Amaterasu (Cold Star)-Example Akuma team Wolverine’s approach is covered by Iron Man’s Unibeam while Akuma can keep the opponent locked down with his Tatsu lets Wolverine put a constant stream of pressure.

-Amaterasu works well on any spot of the team, can work well without assists and Cold Star would be the best general purpose assist.

Amaterasu (Cold Star)/Iron Man (Uni Beam)/ Akuma (Tatsu)

-Ghost Rider is best on point with assists that help him mostly a projectile assist (Iron Man’s Unibeam) to help him get in and a get off me assist (Akuma’s Tatsu) since Ghost Rider has problems up close.

Ghost Rider (Chain or Heartless Spire)/Iron Man(Unibeam)/Akuma (Tatsu)

-Iron man works best on point or second last is possible though difficult. He has a hard time getting hits in. Lockdown assists will help him a lot.

Iron Man (Unibeam)/Amaterasu (Cold Star) or Akuma (Tatsu)/ (Something to cover him)

-Wolverine is best on point with lock down assists and a projectile assist to help him get in.
(The first team I listed would help him)

This team would have problems dealing with zoners and the assists don’t compliment the characters too much, if you want to keep Iron Fist put him on point and you should replace Wolverine with a beam assist to help him get in and put Frank West on second with the Shopping Cart assist. If were to remove Iron Fist Dormammu would be good.

Gamma Wave can help cover Wolverine’s approach but Hulk might have some problems getting in since Hulk is the only one with the projectile assist. It’s not much but experiment with team orders or replace people sorry.

I think having Joe on point would be better since he’s very good a setting up the match towards you and Felicia should probably use the buckler for mixups you can possibly create some unblockables with Joe and Felicia’s bucker. Since you really want to use Taskmaster I’d say replace Joe (unless you can get the shocking pink exploit down) with a lockdown assist (Akuma’s Tatsumaki would be good or Amaterasu’s Cold Star).

Vergil on point would be better, he may be reliant on meter but Doom isn’t actually the best choice to start out a match with Doom on second he can cover Vergil’s teleports with the beam and if it hits it usually leads into a combo.

@Generic Operator: Thanks a lot :slight_smile:
I played a bit with the teams and like Amaterasu/Iron Man/Akuma the best.
However all the teams are very similar, since I want more versatility could you give me input once more on those characters: Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Dante, Deadpool, Dormammu, Stryder Hiryu, Zero.
Just a few teams that consist of those :slight_smile:
That way I can play with all the teams and then see if I like how it plays out.

So hey guys I need a little feedback on what y’all think about this team that i’m going to use: Ammy,Dr.Doom,Wesker in that order too.Oh and what assists I should use with each chars

My personal advice to you would be to swap Wesker and Ammy’s positions. Reason being Wesker can benefit from both Cold Star and either Plasma Beam or Hidden Missiles. Doom benefits a ton from Cold Star. Neither Ammy nor Doom gets all that much out of Wesker’s OTG and his other assists really aren’t any better for them.

Dark Wesker is great and all but when you have another character who can competently anchor and whose assist benefits the other 2 characters far more it doesn’t make much sense to put him there, to me anyways.

Thanks for the heads up @Newsburger i’ll keep that in mind :tup:

Well since Ultimate came out I’ve been playing Chun/Storm/Akuma. I can’t keep playing this team because it’s really not very optimal. I’ve asked around about a bunch of other possible teams and this is what I’ve come up with after having to make the difficult decision of who will be my ā€œmainā€ character I make the team around. I love both Chun-Li and Storm… but ultimately Storm won.

Strange/Storm/Akuma
Strange/Storm/Ammy (My concern with Ammy is the damage scaling on her cold star assist.)
Wolverine/Storm/Akuma (aka team Justin Wong xD)

I tried making a team work with Magneto but for some reason, even though he is so similar to Storm, I have a really hard time playing him. I also tried teams with X-23, Phoenix, and Viper but couldn’t find any that worked for me. So if anyone has team suggestions for those characters with Storm then please share!

I’ve been using Phoenix Wright (BREAK the Witness) / Felicia (Cat Spike) / Wesker (Samurai Edge (Low)) for a while, and its somewhat annoying since Wright almost has no assists to back him up, except for the occasional times when my Opponents gets hit by Felicia’s Cat Spike.
No, I do NOT want to switch any characters, but I’ll take recommendations.

hey guys, just decided to pick up marvel 3 (well, going to this coming weekend) and ive been trying to think up some teams. I know that I like sentinel a lot, hes a natural fit for me. I want to use strider or magneto as well if possible, and from there its up in the air. Anyone got some nice teams I could fool around with strider/sentinel/magneto in them.

Doom/Sent/Strider

Dante/Sent/Strider

I like doom, not so much dante. Never really ā€œfeltā€ him the few times I’ve played marvel in the past. But the team does seem quite good :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, Here’s what I think MIGHT work.

Strider : He’s a little awkward to use, but in a sense he’s like Zero. He’s a speedy character, but has the second lowest health in the game. Since everybody uses Vajra, that’ll probably be your main Assist.You might want to place him last so he can be a comeback character. (Level 3 X-Factor + Ouroboros)

Strider + Sent : You can use Sentinels OTG Assist to possibly extend his combos, but it isn’t very recommended. You can probably follow up Striders Legion with Hyper Sentinel Foce for extra damage.

Strider + Doom : May seems a little clunky at first, but you’ll hang in there. Use Doom’s Plasma Beam + Striders Medium teleport to mix-up the opponent. If you use Striders Legion, You could follow up with Fingerlasers, but it’s a waste of a meter so I don’t recommend it.

Sent : I’ve never used him (And I probably never will) but he might have potential in some placement. Sentinel Drones highly recommended. Make sure you SPAM cr.M because of the Super Armor

Sent + Strider : I don’t see much syngery, but you might be able to use Sentinels Rocket Punch and Striders Vajra to add some damage, but it won’t be by that much. If you can time it right, follow Plasma Storm with Legion

Sent + Doom : Well, Assist wise, stick with Hidden Missles to see if your opponents gets hit by them for a free combo. Follow up Plasma Storm with Sphere Flame.

Doom : Two Words… FOOT and DIVE. Doom pretty much only needs that to win. Recommended assist would be Plasma Beam or Hidden Missles.

Doom + Strider : This order isn’t very recommended, but use your imagination and you’ll figure something out.

Doom + Sent : Use Sentinel Drones to mix-up your opponents since most people seem to crouch when they get hit by the Drones. I don’t know any Hyper combo synergy

Recommended Assists and Order : Sentinel (Drones) / Doom (Hidden Missiles) / Strider (Vajra)

Thoughts on Logan / Storm (whirlwind) / Strider (vajra)? So far storm makes it pretty easy for wolvie to get in and start his game, strider’s assist sets up awesome mixups, and well… ouroboros. Love strider’s comeback ability. If I were to change it up I’d take out logan but I don’t know who I’d replace him with, maybe Mags or Vergil.

I have been fiddling with my team for a while and my two main characters that I love to play are Shuma and Hsien-Ko. Today I tried Viewtiful Joe and I really enjoyed playing him. He seemed to work well on my team and he was pretty fun. (And hearing Shuma say ā€œViewtiful Joe!ā€ is just priceless, we have to admit that.)

Can you guys give me any advice on which Assists to run on them? I am currently using Mystic Smash on Shuma, Senpu Bu on Hsien-Ko, and Groovy Uppercut on Joe.

Joe’s assists are shit in the neutral game. His bomb has some weird tech going on; because it damages you you can use it multiple times in a combo if you block it, allowing for some really wacky, really long, and really damaging stuff. I’ve seen some crazy shit done with that using Taskmaster and Tron. I’d mess around with that and see if it’s possible to get something like that out of Shuma.

Look up ShadyK and recently, Clockwork. They both pilot Doom/Sent/Strider.

Okay so after a whole day of playing around I decided that I simply must have Akuma with Storm.

So I’m looking for a point character now. XXX/Storm/Akuma
I know Wolverine would be good but his lack of mobility is a concern for me. I tried X-23 but neither Storm or Akuma’s best assist relaunches. And I don’t really want an OTG assist in the last slot because that doesn’t help Storm get in/stay out.

Any suggestions of a good point character for this duo would be appreciated.

You can try Deadpool.
Deadpool’s OTG range isn’t all that good, but it can add another ground bounce if you yous Hyakki Gojin > L
His DHC options are pretty decent also.

Deadpool on point? Isn’t he a keepaway style character? I guess I should’ve mentioned that I prefer to play a bit more of a rushdown oriented style. The more mixups a character can get from the Tatsu assist the better.

For example, before wanting to come up with a new team I was a Chun player. I like how aggressive she is. I just wish she got more mixups from Tatsu assist. She has amazing pressure, but not enough ways to open someone up IMO. At least not with Storm/Akuma behind her.

If you can actually learn the timing of his St. h > QCB m > St. S, Deadpool can actually be a hard hitting character, but that’s just me.
Well, Chun-Li might have SOME synergy with Akuma’s Tatsu now that she has an OTG
Simple Combo > Air Simple Combo > Tatsu + OTG > Kikosho?
I don’t know the assist properties betweens Ryu’s Tatsu and Akuma’s Tatsu, but it might work.
