Morri/Dorm/Doom: (Harmonizer)/(Dark Hole)/(Missiles). You could try switching Dorm to Liberation if you want to get sneaky. In general, though, this team is pretty straightforward.

Trish/Dante/Vergil: (Peekaboo)/(any)/(Rapid Slash). Dante’s assist really just depends on what you’d rather do. Crystal is OK for lockdown and gives Trish a sorely needed OTG option. Jam Session provides vertical screen control and is really good at locking down the opponent for mixups; probably the best overall choice. Weasel Shot is good but doesn’t do anything that Rapid Slash already does better. Only other suggestion is possibly swapping Vergil and Dante. Vergil is a far better anchor, but he’s also much better at helping Trish with her damage problems. That one is strictly up to personal preference.

Spencer/Taskmaster/Sentinel: (Slant Shot)/(V Arrows)/(Drones). This order and assist combination is my recommendation. Vertical Arrows over Horizontal because Drones do a better job. Spencer can also use Armor Piercer for combo extension, but the resets from Slant Shot are usually better. You could switch your order around if you like, but this is probably the strongest setup.

Wesker/Nova/Akuma: (Samurai Edge)/(Centurion Rush)/(Tatsu). These guys have some really nasty setup options. Wesker/Nova have some potential for mean high-low unblockables, and they both have really good throw reset games. Tatsu makes both of their approaches much easier. This team may actually be the best of all the ones you just happened to throw together, though your main team is probably more annoying to fight.

Great thanks! I almost called most of them.

And I did try to think about how the teams would work at first, but I had chose to many characters and got overwhelmed. Eventually I just put my leftover characters together the best way I could.

Hello guys, I am a noob to this forum, this game, and fighting games in general (I play mostly FPS games). I ordered the game yesterday so I don’t have it yet, but I’ve been reading about team building and characters, etc.

I don’t know how to go about building a team… do you just play around with different characters with different assists?

Anyway, some of the characters I thought were pretty cool looking after watching gameplays were Hawkeye, Nemesis, MODOK, Taskmaster, Doctor Strange, Trish, Storm, and Akuma. How would I build this into a team? Any ideas?

I’d hate to use overused characters and would rather lose a lot than use Wesker 24/7.

Thank you in advance. :slight_smile:

You should definitely mess around with the game a little first and find a character that is fun for you to play. The Mission Mode gives you a basic rundown for each character as well as showing off some complex (though often unrealistic) extended combos.

Once you have a character you like, this guide by Karsticles is a great starting point for building a team around them.

Look I really need help with my team currently i run x-23(i cant seem to get more the 400k damage with her… pathetic)wolverine (my main…not planing on changing him) and akuma ( great character but i have a hard time getting that first combos hit) if you have noticed i like in your face character and i have tried everything and i really need help. Is there a hidden character i just haven’t seem to look into.

1446

I’ve been changing my roster a bit lately…in a few days i played with a couple new guys
i came up w/ these new teams

virgil. trish. iM
viper. trish. iM
chris. fr west. iM

1447

Okay I’ve been trying everything and it’s not working, so I’ll ask here. Taskmaster and Deadpool. I need someone to fill out this team. Don’t care if point, anchor, second, or what. But I cannot figure out who will make this team strong, and at this point, I’ll take just about anybody [except Vergil and Wesker, fuck them.]

1448

Are you playing them offensively or defensively? Both Task and Pool can be played either way, so that will affect who you want your third to be. Here’s some recommendations for each.

Defensive:

  • Deadpool/Taskmaster/Doom(Missiles)
    Offensive:
  • Deadpool/Taskmaster/Strider(Vajra)
    Balanced:
  • Deadpool/Dante(Jam Session)/Taskmaster
    Taskmaster should be using H Arrows assist. Deadpool can use either Quick Work or Katana-rama, whichever you prefer.

Posted in the Team Making thread but it never got an answer, more or less I cannot decide wich characters to use for getting my ass beat over and over again until I get better. I am a great marvel fan wich you might notice. Anyways help would be greatly appreciated! the post is below

"Hello MvC people!

Been lurking these forums for a while and usually no matter what question I got I can find it in a thread here somewhere but now I actually need advice from players who knows their stuff!

I am currently in the process of making a team for online play(since Arcades doesn’t exist in Sweden) that has the right tools to make them work well together, will teach me some deeper fundamentals and still be good enough for me to stick around with them for a while(not talking top tier team)

My three favorite characters are Captain America, Taskmaster and Magneto. While I can do Magneto’s corner combos without a problem I am not experienced enough in tri dashing and midscreen combos for him to be an option for me. Captain and Taskmaster are super fundamental and works very well for me.

Characters I want to put on my team are any of Hawkeye, Nova, Storm, Deadpool and Hulk. These feel semi fundamental enough for me to handle them well and all of them seems to have one or two good assists. Dormammu and Super Skrull seems interesting and I tried Spencer for a while(for some reason everytime I did a Air wiregrappel punch on a hardknockdowned opponent I seemed to land at the same time as him/her and always missed with the bionic lancer hyper) but Dormammu might have too many tools at the moment for me and skrull’s assist seems lacking.

In trials I’ve finished 1-9 with both Task and Nova, 1-8 with Hulk, Deadpool, Storm, Dormammu and Hawkeye, 1-7 with Cap and Skrull. This from only short sessions.

I guess a good team would look something like Cap/xx/Taskmaster but I’m open for anything that seems interesting! Just have one of Cap or Task in the team and I would be super happy!

also I would love to use Thor when the day comes where I can handle his movements with ease(still learning to move well in the air) is he except for the airmovements difficult? His command grab cancel on standing H is so good!
Spiderman shouldn’t be touched until I at least can handle Spencer I guess?

ps. I understand all of the game mechanics except for TAC infinities, I play a lot of SSF4AE and KoFXIII but the speed in UMvC just seems that more fun!"

Thanks for reading it!

1450

I’ll be playing defensively. I suck at mixups and rushdown, so I try to get people to come to me. Sounds like Doom is my best bet. Any other good contenders?

1451

I was thinking maybe Hawkeye?

1452

i cant stop using trish,sentinel,wesker.

the team is good for the most part but damn, do i hate fighting vergil/dormammu teams backed up with magneto and viper/strider.
i’ll probably switch sentinel for akuma or frank against those teams, but i’m not really feeling those characters in my team.

on the other hand, i need a wesker team with vajra. When I say a real wesker team, I don’t mean that level 4 xfactor BS.

the best choices seems to be vergil, viper, or doom but i don’t want to use them, nor another wesker/sentijamal team.

heres the candidates:

hawkeye:
+can get full combos off striders assist
+wesker gets greyhound assist
-meter hog (i want strider to have at least 3 meters by the time he comes in)
-not really feeling him as a second character since he does low damage and if they ever get in, he gets rushed down pretty badly.

taskmaster
+1.1 million health
+shield skills (oxymoron)
+arrow projectile assists
+legion arrow dhc
-linear gameplay
-can’t really take advantage of getting full combos off vajra

dormammu
+1 million health
+chaotic flame dhc
+stalker flare dhc
+gets probably the easiest tod in the game with weskers assist
-doesn’t get full combos off vajra unless maybe hes stocked up with spells
-sorta fighting for meter with strider
-only offers a mediocre assist

akuma
+tatsu assist
+gets full combos off vajra
+dark anchor so basically the team gets 3 dark anchors
-750 health (do I really want 2 characters with super low health?)

chris
+1.1 million health
+vajra helps his game a lot
-mediocre assists
-he needs an additional space controlling assist.

1453

new guy here
was wondering about a viper/dorm/mag team with viper for burn kick assist
mags with the distruptha and dorm with purification
im a training mode bum so feel free to tell me were im lacking

i figure purification is like a half off version of jam session it also sends them straight up and otgs so i thought i try some stair kick setups with viper plus when combined with rapid seismos it helps her control space i think

mags with emp dis cause i see that dorm can combo off of it ( again feel free to tell me if those mix ups are even logical lol )

finally viper with burn kick for overheads and can you unblockable with it? eh…

viper would play the point
mags second and dorm third

reasonable health i think not too little

1454

Kind of a noob here: my current team is Chris (Gunfire) / Zero (Ryuenjin) / Vergil (Rapid Slash). Any tips on this?

1455

That’s a pretty good team.

The order seems a tad off though. DHC wise, yes Chris works better on point, especially since his combos end in the corner. Though, if you plan on doing lightning loops with zero you wont even need a good DHC.

Ryuenjin is also a decent GTFO assist that Chris can use. Chris’s gun fire will also help Zero get in.

Vergil’s rapid slash can really help Chris with his zoning since it pushes the opponent back. Also, It can extend Zero’s combos.

Overall, a really solid team. Zero on point is arguably the best character in the game, Vergil on anchor with meter is also scary as hell.

In general, a solid team. But I do see some order and assist issues.

IMO, the team should be Viper (seismic hammer)/Dorm (dark hole)/Magneto (disrupter).

Viper can use dark hole as a decent lockdown assist, especially in the corner; she can also use Magneto’s disrupter to get in with.

Dormammu can use seismic hammer for re-launch purposes, and he can use disrupter for quick teleport mix-ups that are extremely hard to block at times.

And let’s face it, Magneto on anchor is no pushover. He is easily one of the best anchors in the entire game.

1456

What are some good teams to build with Spidey using Phoenix Wright, Zero, Iron Man, Iron Fist, and Nova? Right now I’m running Spidey/Zero/Iron Fist. How well does this team work out? I could also use some advice on team order and assists…

1457

I’m thinking of maining a team of V.Joe (shocking pink), Trish (peakaboo mid) and ryu (tatsu), any thoughts? I’m open to any suggestions

1458

Okay…final question.

This is a full list of the characters I like in UMVC3. If anyone can make me a strong team using them, I will be FOREVER grateful and it will -really- help me love this game.

Only ONE rule! Deadpool has to be on the team!

Here’s the list:

Nemesis
Strider
Chris Redfield
Frank West
Ryu
Spencer
Nova
Ghost Rider
Hawkeye
Iron Fist
Deadpool
Iron Man
Hulk
Taskmaster

1459

Of all of those characters you mentioned, Hawkeye and Magneto are the best anchors so your team should probably have one of those in that position. Something like Deadpool/Task/Hawkeye could work, with both Task and Hawk helping Deadpool’s keepaway game. If you want to really do well, though, you need to be willing to play some more characters.

1460

Oh, Akuma’s a possibility too.
