Yeah not only that but he works well with every character on my main team. Plus we already have 2 Iron Man’s in my city and 1 Doom so I figured the matchup experience would be useful for them. Also, I get some dope versatility. Nova backed with Balloon Bomb & Plasma Beam or backed with Psionic Blaster & Hidden Missiles. Or double beam. I like the idea of being able to switch depending on the matchup.
That all works.
Hey guys, what’re your thoughts on the following teams?
Nova/Doom(beam)/Akuma(tatsu)
Nova/Dante(jam)/Magneto(disruptah)
Nova/Trish(low voltage)/Akuma(tatsu)
Nova/Dante(jam)/Hawkeye(greyhound)
Nova/Trish(peekaboo)/Hawkeye(greyhound)
Ive been running Nova/Trish/Dante-Doom for a while now, but I just dont really like either Dante or Doom last, so Im thinking about switching it up and those were the team ideas that piqued my interest the most, not trying to get a full breakdown of each team or anything, but Id like to know which team you guys think would be best and why, or if you have other ideas that could work along those lines too. I think im pretty much settled on that character pool though since I dont like Sentinel, Strange, Modok, Frank or Ammy, amd while I kind of like Spencer I dont think slant shot is worth throwing away a neutral assist for it.
Nova Doom Tatsu, good shit. TAC, decent damage and DHC, good anchor, Doom and Tatsu should work good together
Nova Dante Disrupter…eh. Although I been labbing Nova Distrupter here and there, it isn’t really ideal for Nova but it could depend on your play style. I think Dante Magneto Nova might work better but idk (Nova Dante Doom on the other hand, is a good look with Weasel Shot and Beam)
Nova Trish Akuma, Trish Akuma should work pretty good but Trish assist isn’t good for Nova from what I have heard in the past
Nova Dante Hawkeye, Definitely can work but say good bye to damage lol. Btw, I think Weasel Shot should be the default Dante assist but I will let Marvelo speak on that
Nova Trish Hawkeye, Hmm…this would be interesting. Peek-A-Boo should be able to do SOMETHING for Nova and DHC to Round Harvest is good shit. You can definitely extend combos with that. I think Hawkeye might compliment Trish’s play style too.
Doom Akuma, Dante Hawkeye, and Trish Hawkeye should work.
Thanks man 
Yeah, Nova/Dante/Doom or Doom/Dante(dem thc shenanigans) is pretty strong, although I used either jam/beam or weasel/missiles myself, just I never felt comfortable with either of them as an anchor, and while the dhc is good Im just in love with Nova dhc into Round Harvest.
Peekaboo is really good imo, its just not one of his main assist types so its a bit harder to say how good it is, I mostly try to use it for incoming mixups, or when the opponent cant see it being placed its a shame it doesnt have more durability or hitstun
I think disruptor and low voltage are about the same as far as usefulness goes for Nova, with disruptor being a little better since it comes out faster, so yeah I think youre right about Trish/Akuma, Dante/Magneto/Nova actually sounds like a pretty cool idea, I was just watching some nova anchor vids earlier today but I personally prefer him on point
My main concern with Trish/Ronin is that I dont feel arrows hold the opponent down long enough, I like the anchor and the dhc and knowing Trish/Ronin can work well together if Nova dies is good to know, but it feels like I might giving up Nova’s mixup game a little too much. Still though, I definitely like the Nova/Trish shell and Ronin does sound like the better option so I will go ahead and tick it out for a while. Thanks again man.
I don’t really like Doom with Tatsu. It’s better for keeping people off him than pressing the offense, but either way he has trouble confirming off of it, and their DHC synergy is pretty booty. Consider putting Taskmaster into some of those slots… you might like him and he’s very very good for Nova.
UMM speaking of which, been messing around with Nova/Task a/Strange b for a bit and it’s been very fun. VERY fun. Trying to switch it up a bit with vertical arrows and bolts but I’m not digging it quite as much.
To be honest, I think you should consider messing with parabolic arrows/bolts and horiztonal arrows/eye of agomotto. Eye is really nice for up close lock down and because it has soooo many hit, you get to link 2 Nova supers. But yeah…parabolic arrows are a good look for Nova because it allows you to cover a little air space WHILE remaining somewhat horiztonal…plus, if you know your opponent is a little air happy, you can remain a grounded and let arrows keep the air clean. And then when you wanna switch it up, you have bolts.
Well my problem with Tasky is the same as Dante-Doom, I just dont like him much as an anchor, they can kind of work but I just feel thats not their optimal position. Mind you it doesnt seem like they can be avoided and still have a fully functional team, not if i want to use Trish second, which I do at that, Imma be trying Ronin for a while but if that doesnt work Ill probably bite the bullet and go with weasel shot or plasma beam.
There’s no reason to ever not play bolts if you’re playing Nova with Strange. That’s just how good Bolts are for Nova. 
Nova/Doom/Dante is the superior order for that team. Nova with Plasma Beam and Dante with Jam Session. I’ve been playing it recently and its pretty great. If only there was a way to raw tag Doom from any combo so I can do missile to team super. Guaranteed any character dead ;/
Only from airgrabs.
I think i’m going to drop Doom/Ammy as a sub for Strange/Ammy. I’m not sure which of the two I consider stronger overall, but i’ve reached the point where I don’t think my Doom will ever me up to par. Strange gives me everything Doom does, plus crumple into FoF, plus Bolts. Sounds like a winner.
Hahahaha, now you understand my pain! This is one of the only reasons I complain about Nova/Doom/Ammy. “I coulda killed you with that combo if I had just thrown you instead of anti-aired!”
I think Nova/Strange/Ammy is a good counterpick if you’re losing to zoning after Nova dies, but it lacks the hard tag combos, access to real TAC’s, and I don’t think Ammy crumple -> FOF is very consistent (at least when I tried). Also Strange’s lack of incoming options is unfortunate. But if it works out for you, that’s awesome.
I have no idea how it feels not to kill…I play Spencer >:D lmaoo
haha, I mean. My main team is the same, but the thought of being able to do that from any hit without TAC is nuts. But alas.
FYI incase you Nova/Doom players don’t know. You can do the same missile, THC gimmick, but with Nova instead of Dante. You only have time to do a footdive into Plasma Beam H after, but it actually does more damage than a lvl 3.
Yeah, the hard tag thing sucks, but i’m used to it with the Frank team.
The main clincher is that for some reason I can do FoF loops, but i can’t find consistent Doom infinites that work for me. It’s a pick out of a necessity as opposed to optimisation
Does it work after the Nova extension ender? Or does it skip to the anchor because of assist cool down?
What do you guys think about Nova Spencer Rocket Raccoon (spitfire assist)?
I think it can work. Nova Spitfire is cool and Spencer Spitfire is alright too. Just know you won’t be able to play a super fast paced rushdown with Spitfire but it is still decent to try out.
I don’t see the point of Nova/Spencer unless you’re getting massively meter positive kills, does RR do that? I’m guessing no.
Spitfire and Log Trap are two of the best assists for Nova. They’re both so fucking good for him. That being said if you’re not killing from a crumple, there’s not much point.
Though you might be able to setup some unblockable reset, boulder loop in the corner, or something similar? Might be interesting to look into.
I used to run spitfire and it is godlike on Nova
I would put rr second
what you can do is crumple, then tag in Spencer and kill. dhc to mad hopper, setup boulder, and unblockables
