I’m using Task atm but not happy with his lack of DHC into Sent
Anyone, literally. Whose your favorite character? Whoever they are, they’ll fit on that team. Im currently running Trish/Sentinel/Akuma and its working really well.
Task/Ryu/Doom
Help with a solid tips on game plans? lol
Who would work with as an anchor for Spencer(slant) /Doom (missiles)/ ?
At some point you just have to realize that this is a team based game and you’re going to have delegate SOMEBODY to anchor. Yeah the back character is mainly your “durpy comeback when the shit goes bad” character but somebody has to do it basically. Skrull’s solid health at 1 million makes it viable to put him as anchor it’s just he is essentially designed more of a 1 or 2 spot character because he doesn’t have a strong assist for the neutral game to help your 2nd character. Once your first character dies, the second one is basically flailing around on their own without an assist. Which only really leaves a few characters really strong for that situation and Doom is not one of them in the Dorm/Doom/Skrull team.
Wesker/Dorm/Doom is solid enough as long as you’re not playing against somebody who has strong enough welcome mix ups to worry about your Dorm dying off and leaving you with just Doom. Doom can run it back on 2 people alright but running it back against 3 characters is kinda rough for him.
If you’re preparing for a tournament, Dorm/Doom/Skrull is the best way to go since fortunately/unfortunately depending on how you look at it…having a character that is going to give you a chance to run it back easily is the best way to set up a team in this game. It’s just too important to have. Either that or a character like Ammy that can pretty much stop/slow down all of the characters normally known for doing that (while providing a strong neutral assist). It’s a typical Masta CJ style team where as long as Dorm lives you’re good to go. If Dorm dies, Doom is going to have it rough without a strong neutral assist but…who cares when Skrull is coming in later (providing Skrull doesn’t die to welcome mix up).
You could also do Dorm/Magneto/Skrull since Magneto is better in the neutral on his own than Doom. It’s just a matter of whether you want a stronger neutral assist and a character that has easier basic combos like Doom, or one that requires a bit more executional work but can fight much more capably without an assist.
Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. Been playing fighters since Karate Champ. Loving the past couple years of releases, collecting them like Pokemon. Anyways, UMVC3 is giving me a hard time. I can’t seem to lock down a team that works for me. So I’m just gonna throw this out there:
Deadpool, Hawkeye, Taskmaster ?
I’ve been waiting since I was twelve to play as Deadpool in a fighting game, so he stays, and that’s that. Taskmaster goes hand in hand with pool, especially since they showed his UDON costume some respect, it’s about time!
I usually just bounce around shooting guns and throwing grenades, calling shooty assists the whole time. But I lack oomph. I can’t seem to Chimichanga off Quick Work, and I drop Taskmasters combos off the Web Swing all the time. Any ideas to make this team more effective, or maybe a substitue character? I’ve tried Rocket, Cap, and Strider, instead of Hawkeye, but… meh. I don’t have a cohesive plan for these three, or anyone for that matter. When 'Pool gets killed it all falls apart for me.
Help?
My team is Strider(y), Dr.Strange(a), and hawkeye (y) does anyone have some suggestions that would maximize the team synergy here?
I find myself switching up teams all the time so I’ve come here to get some help.
These are the guys I use: Ghost Rider, Captain America, Thor, Doctor Doom, Trish, Nova, Deadpool, Wolverine, TaskMaster, Hawkeye, Zero, Hulk, Vergil, Iron Fist, Spencer
What teams should I make out of these, along with order/assists etc?
I has a few questions, I’m bored so I’m making a few new teams:
I currently have these 3 main teams:
Dormammu (dark hole) / wesker ( samurai shot) / doom (plasma beam)
Firebrand (fireball) / skrull (tenderizer) / sentinel (drones)
Nova ( centurion rush) / Frank (shopping cart) / iron man (repulsar blast)
The last team will be nova (centurion rush) / Frank (shopping cart) / sentinel (drones)
I’m going to try a zak bennet like team of firebrand / dormammu / iron man (repulsar blast)
And finally, I’m going to run viper / doom / strider (vajra) but Idk what doom assist to use, I was thinking plasma beam
In general, I’m asking for best assist choices to use
Your first team is fine. Dormamu and Wesker have some awesome synergy between them and plasma beam is just a great assist for anyone. Try hidden missiles if you play keepaway Dorm.
For your second team, do you think you can play, or learn how to play Ammy? resets are much easier with Cold star, and Ammy is pretty easy to start with if you spend a couple of hours in the lab with her.
Your third team looks ok, but you just have to learn to make it a reflex to instantly press the shopping cart assist whenever someone pushblocks.
Viper Doom Strider is really solid, but your assists really matter on how good you are with the characters. If you just started using one of them, use missiles. They both have really low health and Hidden Missles can save their asses when it’s needed. But if you have fleshed out their movement and know how to avoid and have spent extensive lab time with them, use Plasma Beam, cause a beam assist can make combos easier and mixups deadlier.
I haven’t really practiced with ammy
Every character I list I know how to use and I really dont like ammy, but ill practice with her and for her in
I’m also better with iron man than doom, my doom is literally hit random footdive, prosper
Dorm/wesker/sent is my main team, I’m just bored of it and wesker in general
I swear, my entire career with this game has been one gigantic identity crisis. The only mainstay I’ve found so far is Ghost Rider, who I seem to have down pat. I’m currently experimenting with Vergil as my anchor. He seems to work fine using Rapid Slash assist and I’ve gotten OK with him as a character. The problem is something I’ve always struggled with in this game: Finding a 2nd-slot character that also benefits from Vergil’s assist and DHC’s well with GR. Any suggestions?
I’ve finally decided to have team Clover Studios:
Viewtiful Joe (Voomerang) / Sentinel (Drones) / Amaterasu (Cold Star)
My main gripe with this team right now is the damage. Viewtiful Joe does very little damage and I have to really on a lot of resets/zoning to be able to kill. DHC’s help a lot, but it still sucks when Viewtiful Joe dies after only doing 50% life to the opponent’s point character.
i think it would be best to do vergil/GR/sentinel vergil really wants that OTG assist to do some nasty damage and GR has 2 of those assists, heartless spire also cancels out projectiles, and both characters benefit from drones greatly (vergil’s teleport shenanigans and GR likes having shit on the screen to help his zoning), vergil really stands out when he’s on point
joe does low damage but his zoning is top notch, it might benefit you more to use doom w/ missiles over sentinel as (shown by marlinpie) doom loves having ammy behind him, and joe already covers the lower portion of the screen really well so sending something to the air will benefit him more, i also don’t know the joe/ammy synergy but doom/ammy hase better synergy than sentinel/ammy
Wow. How was I not thinking about this at all. I watch Clockwork and Marlinpie all the time, but somehow this just slipped past me. Thanks!
You have like 12 different teams there.
Captain America/Spencer/Doom would work.
Zero/Vergil/Spencer could work.
I mean like at least 12 different teams would be viable from your list.
This might help narrow it down:
Ghost Rider- Point
Captain America- Point
Thor- Point or 2nd
Doom- Second or anchor
Trish- anywhere
Nova- Probably point
Deadpool- anywhere
Wolverine- Point
Task- probably second
Hawkeye- second or anchor
Zero- probably point
Hulk- point
Vergil- anywhere
Iron fist- probably point
Spencer- 1st or 2nd
I’ve been using Wolverine Akuma Danta exclusively and kind of getting bored with them but i don’t know anyother good combos lol i only got this combo because i saw Daigo use it? Is there any other fun and strong teams i’m missing out on?
Seems like good advice, I’ll take it.
But does it have to be Sent? I hate hate hate hate HATE Sentinel, and how he plays. Would I be able to use the Doom Beam to the same effect?
So you’re suggesting Dorm/Doom/Skrull is better than Skrull/Dorm/Doom?
I tried Zero/Dorm/Doom (missiles) again. I think thats probably still my best choice.
I just hate Skrull in the third spot! He’s so much more interesting in 1st or 2nd, and if I’m gonna put him in the third, I kind of just dont want to play him at all. Does that make sense?
Any help for me? i use captain america at point hawkeye for zoning and either doc strange or dormammu for anchor
using shield slash greyhound and purification/eye of aggamato
