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

Strider.

Dante. Jam session. Rapid slash.

Doom. Missiles. lame team but doom will give you the space you need to chip/keepaway.

Giving another attempt at learning the game again, since x tk is to me kinda boring and feels unfinished. Im using Wolverine (Berserker barrage assist)/ Storm (whirlwind)/ Taskmaster (horizontal arrows). I got Wolverine and Taskmaster bnb combos down now and sort of got the feeling of moving around with the team. But I’m kinda unsure on when to be using assists. Can anyone give any advice?

I’m running all high tiers, not sure how okay I am with this.

Wesker -Point- [Samurai Edge Assist]
It would probably be a better idea to have him anchor for lvl XF4
I think I prefer him being backed by assists, although Dante’s Jam Session doesn’t add too much to his BnB’s

Dante -2nd- [Jam Session Assist]
He is notable placed second for his assist for Wesker.
He is just so versatile on the battlefield and you have no idea how many easy aerial S hits people take
and open up OTG’s. I think he counters more on the field than say, Vergil.

Dr.Doom -Anchor- [Hidden Missiles]
His assists really helps get in combos with Wesker teleports.
Doom isn’t a bad anchor in any sense but I’m still iffy on if I should make Wesker the Anchor.

Any suggestions, comments, concerns, anxieties, hopes and dreams?

For my Ghost Rider team, I’m running Ghost Rider (b), Dorm (a), and Spencer (y) I was wondering if i should change any characters or assists for this team to be pretty good, if so any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Newb player here, I just want to know about the viability of this team.

Viper: Thunder Knuckle
Strange: Bolts of Balthakk
Iron Man: Repulsor Blast

Naturally I’ve picked what might be a little out of reach for a player of my skill level but I have a feeling that this could be a fun team to work with.

Side question: what do you guys think of Viscant’s comment about Doom and Sentinel from this article?

With this in mind I might bounce back and forth from the team above and Iron Man/Doom/Sentinel.

Edit: May or may not adjust the first team to Firebrand/Strange/Iron Man

New to UMvC3 so far my team is Zero/Morrigan/Vergil

How do I know if a team set up is ok or not? >_<

Hi I’m quite new as well, I really like super skrull though and I’ve heard that strange’s assist works well with him so my team right now is Skrull with Orbital grudge/ doctor strange with bolts of balthakk/ dormamu with dark hole, can anybody help me out with this?

Sup guys. I use a team that’s a little different, and I’m not sure how to set it up.

Thor- He’s my main guy. His resets are awesome, and his damage is superb.
Spiderman- He’s fast, good on point, and I love his combos. I prefer stylish characters overall.
Felicia?- Tbh I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of a third for this. Felicia is underused, so I like that. She’s hot, so I like that. She also has an OTG assist. Problem is I don’t know if I can really play her, or if she fits here.

Any suggestions on my third member and what synergy is here, if any, would be *greatly *appreciated. Don’t let me down SRK :wink:

Edit: After thinking about it, I might go Thor/Spidey/x because of Thor’s need for assists and Mighty Punish into Ultimate Web DHC.

As for the third character I still have no idea who I want to play. I need a beam or lockdown who is a good anchor. I’m starting to think that, even though he’s hard, putting time and effort into Iron Man might pay off and use him as my anchor/assist. What do you guys think?

I use to run Thor, Spiderman, Racoon.
The only problem is thor can combo off of a midscreen pendulum but spiderman can with webthrow

I’ve been loving Iron Fist on point but can’t quite find a great assist for him. Obviously push block and aerial opponents are his weakness so I need something to help with either of those. I have been using x-23 for her low assist to set up unblockables but there is probably a better way. Does he have any BFFs?

I think Dante with Jam Session could be a safe bet.

Strider. Doom. Mostly strider tho…

going back to the vanilla main and going with.

Taxmaster(straight arrows)/Dante(don’t know yet)/Vergil(rapid slash)

was wondering what should be the primary order. seems like I can run it any way I want though.

My team so far is Nova(Centurion Rush), Iron Fist(Rising Sun), ?(?)

As you can see, I’m need an Anchor. I ran Strider(Vajra) for a WHILE… Seemed to work OK but, I got bored. I’m looking for a character that complements both Nova and IF. One that is primarily there to extend combos with Nova but, can also help IF get in.

So far, I’ve tried:

Strider
Iron Man
Storm
Dante
Wesker

None of them seem to offer what I’m looking for… Unless I missed something, that is. I’m experimenting with Doom(Missiles) atm… Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What are you particularly looking for in an anchor? I know you’ve tried Wesker, but Samurai Edge could give you unblockables, and Wesker as an anchor, with his glasses off and X-Factor is one of the best anchors in the game.

If you’re looking for synergy, combo extension, rush-down or mobility needs, Akuma’s Tatsu assist would help, as would Sentinels Drones. Another suggestion, you could start Iron Fist on point, and use Nova’s Centurian Rush assist. You can get a high-low unblockable with it on a grounded opponent :slight_smile:

I would suggest having Taskmaster as the anchor. You could use Dante’s OTG assist and have Vergil on point because you could TOD, or you could start Dante on point. Though most people are raving about Vergil as the anchor, you can just block against him. Taskmaster can just be blocked too, but he has more tools than the others (zoning, and has special command and hyper counter attacks).

ok starting off I’m just over the noob hump and I’m starting to build towards being decent at this game and trying to get my w/l ratio at least to even if not going positive, just got to 9th lord and now am back into training to keep moving up. But my main team just isn’t jelling as much as I want it to. I main Nova/Doom/Strider and I’m starting to use Strider as a crutch waaaay too much uroburos x-factor combacks are all I can pull out if I can’t take out at least one character before strider takes the stage. Nova just up and dies on me and his unsafe rushdown just can’t keep up almost anyone playing defensively, also if any of his charges are blocked…well lets be real here, I’m fucked because my opponant can hit low and just go to town.

I’m equally skilled with doom and strider normally but I know more combos with nova so I’m looking for someone I can combo with easily like nova

So do you have any thoughts on a possible new Point. I’m already somewhat aquainted with most of the cast so please any suggestions would be welcome

(also I’ve been working on a Doom/Iron Man/Phoenix team and a X-23/Storm/Sentinel team so if you have thoughts on those I’d appreciate them, I just don’t have any specific questions)

To be honest with you, most anchors usually a clean up characters anyway (Wesker, Phoenix, Super Skrull), so the anchor may often get victories for you. I’m personally not a fan of Nova, but before finding an alternate for him you could possibly try and change your approach with him. Use Vajra to lock your opponent down and use is Cr. M and overheads. His tri-dash light is a really great tool (check Combofiend’s old Nova/Spencer/Hawkeye team or Infrit’s latest UMVC3 videos). His shield plus hidden missiles can keep out opponents to a moderate extent too. He also has a really good throw box, so you could use his throw more too.

If you still wish to find another character, characters like Wolverine and Wesker have relatively simple combos (but if you can use Doom I’m sure you can handle characters whose execution is slightly more challenging lol). I would also personally suggest Captain America. His normal bnb’s can do over 700k, add Doom’s hidden missiles you get an extra meter which mean’s TOD’s on anyone with less than 1 mil health. Vajra can also halt air approaches so Cap/Doom-b/Strider-Y would be a good team :slight_smile:

p.s. Magneto, Doom and Phoenix is my personal favourite Phoenix team. Check out Liquidmetal’s, Filipino Champ’s and Tokido’s UMVC3 videos to see how they play them ^^

Thanks so much for the commets, its really helpful to get some good input. I’m still love nova but he just isn’t working as well as I want him to so I will try to watch some more high-level play with him and learn a few things before I retire him, and I can never retire him completely. With wolvie and wesker I dunno why but wolvie really doesn’t gel when its my type of play I’m not sure why, Wesker I almost feel bad for using but I’ll keep him in mind, I do wish I had more Resident Evil on my teams as much as I love RE. I’ll definitely try out some cap though maybe I can figure something out.

I wish I was good enough with magneto I may be able to work with doom but its because I took a LONG time to get used to his stuff and had Assist Me to help me out. Maybe I just need to really work with magneto, maybe watch some Fanatiq stuff (pad player and all that) and try him on my phoenix team though the tony stark keep away is a love of mine.

anyway thanks again

Guys I’ve been rocking Wolverine/Ammy/Nova right now at first I thought I wanna replace Ammy with Akuma but now I wanna replace Wolverine. I wonder who would be a good on point character with Ammy & Nova?

Why don’t you just start Nova, he would work fine on point; then, you could use Akuma as an anchor, since Tatsu is a good assist for everybody. I’m assuming you are using Cold Star with Ammy.
