What kind of incoming setups can Nova/Doom get? Most people I see who play those two have Spencer for mixups so I’m not sure what he can do with just Plasma Beam and I couldn’t find any videos.
cr.M + beam xx javelin or cent rush L
There are a bunch of stuff you can do to be honest. The most solid would probably be what @Xr0s-up said tho. Others might be a little more gimmicky or might have some holes in them. Although pretty much all incoming mixups have holes.
In addition to what’s been listed: call beam super jump and immediately air dash forward, very ambiguous. You can use it to cover your ass when baiting push block with meaty air dash H as well.
There should be more out there. I don’t use it as much as Cold Star on incoming so my repertoire is kinda limited.
I have also been using: Grav. Pulse H, Call Beam, Super jump up forward, air dash down back j.H

Switch to doom beam and you’re set
Yeah dont play missiles
Also, don’t play Nova Strike assist. Play either Centurion Rush (which is amazing for Vergil), or Pulse assist (which is better for Doom)
Does Nova benefit at all from Akuma Tatsu?
Been thinking of trying out Nova/Dormammu/Shuma-Gorath. Thoughts about this particular team?
Doable, not impossible…but not necessarily optimal
We’ve had little discussions about it, but horizontal coverage is really important for Nova so Shuma doesn’t really provide the kind of support you really really need
I thought about shuma beam
The blockstun is too little, the duration is too little, takes very long to hit the opponent
you do have raw tag shenanigans but doom or strange would be best
I have a friend who’s been messing around with Nova/Mystic Ray lately, and honestly while it doesn’t offer quite what Plasma Beam does it does have its perks. For instance calling Ray and doing L or M centurion is safe and confirms on hit very easily. We’re gonna try and lab some raw tag stuff out later tonight, but I think we might have overlooked this pair a bit. They just need a good 2nd, and Dormammu may or may not be it.
Been playing nova/dormammu/doom, nova/doom/vergil and nova/modok/doom. After playing them for awhile I don’t like vergil or modok. Been mostly playing with the dormammu team, what other good choices are there for nova/doom/character, nova/character/doom are there?(Excl. characters I don’t like i.e. dante, spencer, dr strange, vergil, modok)
amaterasu or strider
think arthur is another option
Sentinel, Strider and Ammy are the only tried-and-true choices left for you, but there are some alternatives that I think have some merit.
Trish: TAC infinites everywhere, unblockable setups with Round Harvest and Nova’s Cent Rush assist. The main problem here is Trish’s assists don’t offer much and she prefers Missiles to Beam while Nova is the other way around. Also I have no idea what order is best. But I think this team is potentially kinda cheap.
Iron Man: having Doom and Iron Man gives you a few different assist combinations to work with. I think either way you want Unibeam, but that gives you free reign to use rocks or Missiles without feeling like you lost out on a beam. Unibeam is also an amazing assist for Doom.
Arthur: interesting DHC -> hard tag synergy (DHC from Nova Force to Gold Armor, tag into Doom and finish the combo) but I dunno what Doom would really offer to Arthur since you’re probably still gonna want PB over Missiles. Eh he can probably still make good use of it.
Actually that’s kinda it. But that’s still a decent amount of options.
no rocket? seems like a good choice with log trap assist!
for nova
RR is best with spitfire
it’s like sent’s drones, only more effective
