Yeah, my brother has been testing the team and it’s kinda flawed. You want Nova point and Morrigan second but if you do that you can’t really kill off the first touch with Nova. But pulse assist with morridoom is hilarious.
Nova/Morrigan/Doom is pretty butt. Its one of those teams that if you kill one character, the team goes straight into the pooper, which is the worst team to have. If you identify the star of the team (Morrigan) and get rid of it, you have a pretty ugly team. The only way that the team would be slightly good is if Doom had plasma beam, but Morrigan lives off that missile assist.
You have two conflicting character in Nova and Morrigan. That’s the biggest issue.
So, this is my latest attempt on my perennial Nova team soulsearch
Nova/Trish/Vergil
Trish gives a full screen horizontal assist, tac infinite and a powerful dhc for Nova, and Vergil, well hes Vergil, top anchor in the game, his assist can help extend combos for Nova, mixup on incoming and even help push back if you are trying to keepaway, you can dhc all the way into him for sword loops, you can straight into them from Trish’s otg super, which helps make up for her low damage output and I think you should be able to raw tag him in after dhcing into rh, teleport h, and bring them down onto nova assist to extend the combo into sword loops, havent been able to get it quite right yet though. -_-; Likewise, Ive been trying to get an extension of a raw tag after throw but I havent been able to yet with either Trish or Vergil, they get up too fast before Trish can otg super and you cant call the assist fast enough to catch them after vergil’s otg.
Other teams Ive recently experimented with are Nemo’s and Nova/Trish/Strange which is interesting, you get to use Trish’s best assist and Strange should be able to go into fof off raw tagging post rh, should being the operative word as I couldnt really get it, so I wasnt sure if its just due to my atrocious execution or if its just imposisble to do it. Eyed Nova/Trish/Doom as well, but Im no that comfortable with Doom anchor anymore to be honest. -_-;
I’d definitely recommend replacing Vergil with an actual neutral assist. Like Doom or Strange, whatever. Low Voltage ain’t that great, but maybe you can make it work. Nova/Trish is a shell that might be pretty decent since Nova’s assist lets you unblockable niggas. However, Trish’s best assist is Peekaboo by far and I’m not sure how well Nova can abuse it. He can make great work with it for incoming I’m sure.
Nova/Trish/Doom would have a whole bunch of synergy. You’re banking on team cohesion at the tradeoff of an anchor though (unless you can get Nova in the back at some point). Roundtrip unblockables with Doom would be pretty good though since he’s got 20% minimum scaling. Not to mention access to easy TAC infinites in any order.
Well the thing about that was that Trish’s damage is kinda low, but she can very easily go into sword loops from otg super to make up for it, and overall Vergil was there to have a good anchor with a good assist and amazing dhc’s
I totally agree on peekaboo being Trish’s best assist by far, best use of it Ive seen was by Greenace on the curleh mustache team tourney, he didnt use Nova but I think a lot of it can be applied, need to watch his matches again to really study them though.
I did also consider Strange, but Trish/Strange felt like a weak combination, and I havent even had much fun trying to learn Strange’s loops.
So in the end I think I will just go with Nova/Trish/Doom after all and keep that peekaboo. Going back to Doom makes me feel I might just as well go back to my original team of Nova/Spencer/Doom though.
Yeah, that trade off is what I was trying to avoid though, its not like I think a better anchor is better than good synergy or team cohesion, in all honesty it feels kinda scrubby and I might even play better without the safety net of dark vergil or strider to fall back on, but after going so long without it, it felt good to have said safety net. I suppose I could always try Nova/Doom/Strider if I want a good anchor+best beam team for Nova.
Quick question on team structure guys, what do you feel is more important for Nova, a tod or better neutral?
Neutral. Nova cannot make you block without the correct Neutral assists and pushblock just destroys him. No good being able to kill characters if you can’t force them to take your shit in the first place.
Sorry, I shouldve been clearer I was referring to a situation where Nova already has one neutral assist, making the choice between another neutral assist for better control, or a tod.
Mostly asking because for a long time Ive considered an optimized Nova team to be composed of neutral+tod, but lately, and for much the same reasons you posted, Im thinking neutalx2 is better altogether.
Just play nova task doom w/missiles and call it a day haha
nah…don’t do that if you’re not comfy with it. I really like that team a lot, my Nova is just poop.
You do get a mil bnb/possible tac infinites if necessary though, so damage is never a worry. Taskmaster’s just too fair lol but his assist is soooooo good
Hahah, recruiting for the Taskforce Limit? Actually thats similar to the team Im running now, though yours probably packs more of a punch. 
But, nah, for once I wasnt trying to cluster the topic with my incessant Nova crisis, just wondering what other people thought in regards to the optimal team structure for Nova, for now Im happy with my current team and Im gonna stick to it, though yours, or Marvelo’s is what I would go for if mine proves handicapped.
Making a sub team because IM3 rekindled my love for Tony. I think this team might be a lot cheaper than I thought at first.
Nova/Doom missiles/Iron Man Unibeam
I always kinda wanted to play Nova/missiles and I think this team allows for it. Combos are damaging as long as the hit is unassisted, if it is assisted, gotta go for an infinite. But the zoning is hugely improved, and any stray standing missiles hit leads to a crumple and an easy 1 mil. Doom with Unibeam is retarded, and the follow my lead is pretty okay. It’s no Nova/Doom/Ammy but I like it a lot.
Why not Nova/Spencer/Iron Man for intro swag?
I like team noel but i suck with wesker I been using wolverine frank nova…how’s this team seem?
…no lmao…sorry but that’s not a good look…if you you want Nova and Frank on a team, you want something like Nova Frank Doom or something (a spin off of ApologyMan’s team)
Because then I have to play Nova/Spencer, I would probably die of boredom before the match even started (no offense Nova/Spencer players).
To each is his own…tbh, the only reason why Nova Spencer looks/feels so boring to people is because of the nuts that just f**king j.H all day on some “I suck really bad so let me just swing for the fences until I get a hit so I can kill” type crap -______-. It can be really fun…I guess it’s fun for me because I refuse to play with Spencer second so I don’t get the derp kills of DHC to Spencer
Nova/Spencer/Ironman might actually be one of the strongest Nova/Spencer teams if someone ever fleshed it out.
Just sayin B) lolll…almost 1M with 1 meter
I have been running Trish/Nova/Doom. All you need is one bnb that does about 465 in the corner, backdash, RH, raw tag Doom, call Nova assist… Unblockable that kill almost anyone while gaining a bar. It gives you time to call a few missiles, raw tag trish, throw out a peekaboo, and try another unblockable with Nova.
