I know a couple people already doing it! Learn it! Lets you follow my lead the next character. So good.
HOW though?! I can barely set it up let alone get more than 2 reps… Are there tutorials anywhere?
Guys i am learning doom and at the moment i am playing nova doom vergil which team i feel confortable with. However, i just dont know which assist i should pick because i think rocks is pretty doom is almost invincible until he throws the rocks and covers nova so i can rush. What do you guys think about it? Should i stick with beam or change to rocks?
Rocks are not invincible at all. Go with Plasma Beam. Rocks doesn’t fix any of the matchup issues that Beam does and is much less consistent.
Practice with rocks and see. A bunch of players have been experimenting with Rocks and they believe it can be OD for certain match ups. One of which being Morrigan. Also, please don’t be one of those level 3 comeback scrubs. Put Vergil 2nd. There is no reason why Nova and Vergil should be on a team and you’re not killing immediately after getting a touch.
I would totally use rocks in certain matchups if it didn’t give Sphere Flame in THC’s. Doom/Vergil players should be fine with that though orz
Nova/Doom/Vergil is the correct order in this case.
If he had a character without an easy TAC infinite who provided a good assist for Vergil (Strider, Hawkeye, Taskmaster), then he should be second.
Nova/Doom/Vergil is optimal because:
-
TAC infinite adds opportunities to TAC and TAC counter bait; either one is death.
-
Doom has better incoming options than Vergil, and should he get snapped up quickly, is a far less capable anchor, regardless of whether or not you think having Vergil anchor is for “scrubs.”
-
Doom second allows Vergil to come in safely with a DHC, and immediately begin putting on pressure. This is the best game plan. Swords + RT charged Vergil, with Plasma Beam, against opponent already in blockstun > incoming Vergil.
9/10 times, Nova is going to kill regardless. He still does a solid 750k-900k with a DHC, and easily builds a bar with either of these assists. He has tons of reset potential. “He” does 1mil+ off grabs with Doom tags, ending meter positive. He has a TAC infinite-er behind him, and the ability to convert from a TAC bait easily.
Agreed. Vergil anchor isn’t about being a lvl 3 comeback scrub. Which btw, isn’t scrubby at all. It’s Marvel. Play to win. Proper construction of a team allows you to have a strong anchor incase your point war didn’t work out. Dark Vergil on that team is the way to go IMO. Not to mention. You infinite someone and you can super all the way to Vergil swords for a guaranteed unblockable on the next incoming character.
Under real world conditions, Nova does not kill anywhere near often enough with a straight super super DHC, his scaling is so terrible that any confirm off an assist or s.J chain anti air is going to wreck your damage.
But yeah, Nova/Doom/Vergil still sounds like the right order to me.
I am thinking of playing nova spencer strange because i want a team b. I main nova doom vergil. Which team do you guys think is better? The actual team or spencer and strange?
Both sound great, I’d say depends on which shell you are better at, Spencer/Strange or Doom/Vergil. I’d gravitate towards anchor Vergil myself.
However, I’m here to see what people think. I’m probably not going to play this shell, just because I’d have to learn a new, tough character and am already learning new teams which I enjoy too much to ditch, but I’ve been labbing Nova/Shuma for the fun of it, and wow, it’s really good.
Benefits I can see so far:
-Nova is pretty fly with mystic ray, and it helps his zoning much more than some of his more respected rushdown-assisting assists.
-TACs to will kill off pretty much any confirm, considering cent rush assist and shuma’s eyeballs having ridiculous properties, between that and TAc baits the team kills a lot of people.
-Shuma, when out, can do his hyper that shoots a ton of giant eyeballs, DHC to speed tackle, and he gets high/lows, left/rights, it’s insane, and the best part is the gaps in blockstun are relatively random, so it’s pretty damn hard to predict anything coming. Shuma’s eyes have a lot of invincibility, so there seem to be situations where you can just set up these mixups for free.
-Nova airthrows
-Kill a char, pulse H, tag shuma for high/lows, even better depending on the second assist.
-Shuma assist means more zoning, and Shuma combos, both add up into a lot of meterburn.
Donwsides:
-Learning Shuma
Having trouble finding an anchor for that team, though. I could see a lot of them working, but Shuma/Vergil is better as Vergil/Shuma, and I don’t know Rocket Raccoon or Iron Man enough to know much about the synergy there. Ammy sounds good too. If I actually picked it up, it’d be with someone I know, Hawkeye or Strange, maybe Taskmaster.
Thoughts? On the shell in general, on possible third members, whatever. I’m just curious to see who’s thought about this, because I hadn’t even considered the two together for the longest time.
Looks fun.
I think that the Mystic Ray assist is too fast for Nova. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m too cheap to shell $5 for him.
Additionally, you can’t kill with the team without TACs but most Nova teams have this problem anyway.
I think RR, Ammy and Taskmaster are good choices, Ammy being the best for anchor
I am terrible with spencer strange really spencer is an awesome character and i can play in a decent level with him as well, but strange is the problem and i dont enjoy the character either. So maybe i will play as my B team nova frank spencer, because i can use crumple combos and raw tag frank to level him up to level 4 without using meter and also tac or whiff frank super after super nova to get a level 4 frank.
I think is a pretty decent team, maybe i should put frank as ancor because of his assist.
What do you guys think?
Have fun trying to get hits with only shopping cart as your neutral. Not to mention unless you can get Nova in the back you don’t really have an anchor.
I finally got a chance to actually play against Nova/Doom/Ammy. Holy shit is my team annoying. Maybe it was more the player but I think it might also take a special breed of nutjob to choose to run it. ;0
Damn, some footage would be nice
What was it like?
I’m tinkering around with Nova/Dorm and my main frustration is I can’t find a good way to use the Dark Hole assist for Nova. Any suggestions? Full team is Nova/Dorm/Hawkeye
The guy was just doing shit. His Nova was super impatient and he was going for raw j.S a lot which caught me off guard. I think maybe I was just frustrated with the lack of optimized combos, no hard tags, spam 6H Ammy… Maybe I’m overreacting, but it was disappointing is all. Hopefully he learned a bit.
Swell: that’s the biggest issue Nova/Dorm has. The DHC is pretty great, and Dark Hole is okay in neutral to help combat projectile durability. It sucks for extending his combos; if you want that more, go for Liberation. Even uncharged you can get a more consistent extension.
Ive been thinking about a really weird team. Nova/Spencer/Trish. Or Nova/Frank/Trish. The first one being the more interesting one. It has both Low voltage horizontal Neutrals for both Nova & Spencer, but best of all, that team SHOULD kill of any hit also. Round trip into Spencer/Nova unblockables are there too. Trish into up grapples 80k’s. TAC Infinite. Trish on point will lack assists though
Of course all theory since I just played around with it, but it sounds cool. Im still looking for a solid team with a good point. Dont really wanna play Nova with Sent/Strange/Ammy either.
Trish assist is too fast for Nova imo
