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

I’ve been trying to make a team with Dante/Strider and another as my last, I really want to play Strider second because for me, he’s just really fun and it’s really boring me putting him as herp-derp anchor, effective, but boring. So which character would be great as an anchor for these two?

Ammy?

So im running GhostRider/???/Sent. Ghost rider with Sent assist zones pretty great. The problem is i dont know who else to pick. My best bet at the moment is deadpool at second spot but im not that great with him. I like Sent at anchor. Or should i move sent to the second spot and get another anchor character? Im looking for a nice character that has synergy with Sents drones. Ghost rider has great zoning with sent and im looking for the same sort of thing with the second character. So any suggestions?

I need help building a team! I have tried a few combonations but i have not liked any of them. Somemone please help.

Characters i am proficient with- Skrull, Iron man, Sent, Hulk, Vergil, Iron fist, Nemisis, Dr. Strange, Cap.

ty.

Hawkeye and Taskmaster are your best bets. Use the horizontal arrows for whichever one you pick.

I’m pretty new to this game, and I’ve tried out a few characters. I’m really liking Akuma and X-23. I would like a team containing both, but I would be willing to swap one out. Any recommendations?

                                                                                                                                                                          Thanks for the idea! I like task master quite a bit! And I think I am proficient enough to play keep away with either of them will try out task master. I remember trying out his bnbs and liking them. Also last night I played against a slightly better player than I'm use too. And they used trish and doom too stay up in the top corner where I could not reach them. I was thinking of using strider's varja to get them away from there. And since GR and sent build meter quite well strider could use it effectively since he appriciates 3 bars of meter. Or do you think I can take out those trish and dooms with horzonital arrows??? Thanks in advance

I’m using Thor, Dormammu and Skrull, what order(s) can I have them in?

Probably that order actually. Generally speaking:

Thor can take damage well and can serve as battery to meter build for the other two.
Dormammu is excellent in the 2nd position as he provides great DHCs and combo extension with his assists, as well as having damaging TAC combos.
Skrull is really good on anchor with XF3. Meteor Smash can really just random people out all day.

Does Chris/Task/Sent works? who should be the anchor?

My other option would be Task/Sent/Akuma (Akuma as Anchor). This second team seems much stronger on paper but I would really like to use Chris, Sentinel and Taskmaster on the same team.

So hey guys,

Ive been around on SRK for quite a bit and SRK surely triggered off my love for fighting games. Ive been deeply interested in the FGC and particularly UMVC for the past few Months, but, since this is my first post, i’ll take some time to introduce myself briefly.

My nick is mkayyy(actually spoken emkay), which stands for my insignas MK. Im from Germany, but because of the lack for an actual FGC nearby, Ive been lurkin on the SRK forums for a while now, spending time reading many articles in the Domination101 section which has some good reads and expanded my knowledge while watching videos and reading guides for characters.

Spending too much time in the lab got me thinking, if the team im running is actually viable. Ive been running Zero(Ryuenjin)/C Viper(Seismic)/Vergil(Rapid Slash) ever since the release of UMVC, just because I actually like the characters for what they are and not because of how strong they are in the game.

My major concern with this team is my mix-up game and developing good setups. Well

TL;DR

Zero(Ryuenjin)/C Viper(Seismic)/Vergil(Rapid Slash)


here are my concerns:

Going in:

-call vergil assist; j > qcb+M > H

Depending on how i land H with Zero, the vergil RS assist sends my opponent flying into the air, able to catch him with a launcher or landing right behind my opponent on the ground, able to continue my combo with s.M

Does this provide a decent way to get in?

My viper assist seems out of place because it just provides an easy way to corner to corner combo with zero. I even end up tagging in Vergil just because i can extend my combos with my viper assist. Yet, doing this, seems wrong in my eyes. Vergil should be my anchor, yet I prefer to tag him in over Viper, which leads to my third concern.

Viper’s executional barrier is too damn high. Well, lets say its that high, that at the moment, i cant figure out how to get in with Viper after losing Zero. But even if i get in, I dont have the confidence to pull off the BnB and go for a simple launcher into DHC combo. Mastering the box dash is also hard but i’m getting consistent with it. While all of the above is speaking against using Viper, i’m not planning on giving up on her and i want to make this team work.

Vergil’s unsafe move as an anchor. Teleporting is not an answer to my problems as it is often expected from my opponents. Recently, i’m trying to get in with rapid slash cancel into devil trigger or spiral swords but im wondering if there are better ways.

So please give a fellow german who wants to play on a serious level some suggestions.

best regards mkayyy

That’s what I’ve been using… Thor on point is pretty tough though.
Eh… I’ll figure it out.
I haven’t used it offline yet(aka in a tourney), so maybe that’s why.

I can’t speak for zero and vergil. But you don’t really have to “go in” with Viper. Her zoning game is fairly decent and rapid slash only helps that. Learn the ranges on seismo and thunder knuckle. Learn how to use optic blast to keep up pressure and shut down other zoning. Finally, remember, viper has some of the best moves to whiff punish and bait with. Ex Seismo and ex thunder knuckle are your friends. I hope this helps

So, you mean I just have to practice my zoning game with viper and go for forcing(baiting) my opponent to go close up and then punish his attempt with EX Moves?
Is it viable to do EX seismos to catch airborne opponents?

Chris is great at point as he acts as great battery for the rest of your team. Arrow assist from task will help with chris’s keepaway game as well as sents drones. you can then use all the bar you have been building to end task combos. And at the end of your team you have sent at anchor Who has crazy damage out put with xf3. It should work Good i rate.

So as of right now my team is spiderman/skrull/sentinel(drones) but im having trouble deciding on which assist for spiderman and skrull. Any ideas?

If i cant get spiderman to work out ill probably switch him out for nova, but i enjoy spiderman right now.

You probably want to go either Orbital Grudge or Tenderizer. I’m… not entirely sure what Spidey wants from his assists so I’ll just tell you that OG has super armor and is therefore a good GTFO tool while Tenderizer forces incoming characters to block, allowing for some interesting mix up opportunities. So pick whichever one sounds better for Spiderman.

Spiderman has shitty assists, never use him as anything other than a point character.

Those two are fine, I would put Akuma last since his assist is good and he’s a good anchor. Your other char should ideally have a decent horizontal assist to help x23, like Sent drones, doom missiles or anyone else with a beam or arrows. You could also go without that but you’ll have to accept that you’ll have to work hard to get in with x23. It’s doable though.

Currently I am running Spider-Man(a)/Skrull(a)/ Doom(B). However I am getting tired of Doom. I am pretty good with him I am just finding him kind of meh lately. I was wondering if anyone could think of an anchor with a good beam/projectile assist. One that is not Wesker, Dorm, Zero or Spencer(They don’t have the assists I am looking for just in case it comes up) I guess it would be a character that helps both Spidey and Skrull. If anyone could think of one I would love to hear it.

I don’t think so, eventually you’ll probably waste meter. You are right in that Viper can zone and get them to move toward you. But at that point, depending on the match up, you’ll have to maneuver to start offense with viper such as air dash down attacks etc. EX moves like seismo work better when you do something unsafe and bait them into countering.
