Hey guys, I have a quick question. What do you all think about Nova / Spencer / Magneto? My original team was Mags / Dante / Sent, but Sent is too much of a liability. Nova / Spencer synergy is great, and I think Mags beam could work well as a hori assist. Is this team worth the time I’m investing?
No…NSM is not a good idea. Well I can’t speak for you but as a whole, the forums have basically agreed that Nova and Magneto have no business together on the same team. That and disrupter is too fast for either other character.
Word.
I finally got to play against a Nova/Mags player and I can say without hesitating that it’s not a good pairing. Nova gets no lockdown from Disruptor.
I appreciate the quick reply. It’s sad, I love both Nova and Mags and was hoping the pair could work out. If I were to close the Nova / Spencer shell with Doom, would you guys recommend beam or missiles? Also, what other anchor could I use for the pair aside from Task / Hawkeye arrows?
If you really want to run Mags and Nova, Mags/Nova/Sent is pretty okay (I think we might have talked about this one earlier in the thread). There are some greasy incoming setups for Magneto using the Cent Rush assist, and drones just happen to be good for Mags and Nova. Not an incredible team but probably a fun one.
You’ll want Plasma Beam for that team. It might seem tempting to use missiles for the Spencer extension but Beam is better for Nova on the whole, it gives quick full-screen lockdown and makes Cent Rush L and M safe if used properly. It’s one of the best beam or arrow type assists for him, if not the best.
Well, there’s always Strange… one of the cheapest teams in the game for sure. Otherwise, Strider is alright, but there’s still no horizontal coverage which kinda sucks for Nova.
but Strider is omnidirectional coverage that helps keep them on the ground so you can overhead them. :3

Btw Marvelo, this combo does 1,047,000 with your team and I’m tryna see what else I can do since you have Jam Session
im having a team identity crisis but i know i want to play nova. i picked him up since day 1 and i love that character. now, which of these teams do you think have the most synergy and will overall make me a better player
nova/doom/strider
nova/doom/vergil
nova/hulk/doom ?
i wish i could learn spencer but his tigerknee moves are a pain in the ass for me to do consistantly 
If you want to be a better player, practice more
You could even run the best team and still get owned
The teams above are very solid.
Now that I think about it, all of those are pretty good. We were actually discussing Nova Doom Strider already earlier. Nova Hulk Doom doesn’t sound bad at all honestly…Nova to Hulk DHC should be pretty brolic and Gamma Wave with Nova would allow for an otg besides Nova slam or L Rush. As for Nova Doom Vergil, I think you should rock Nova Vergil Doom since they both can use Plasma Beam well and you can DHC to sword loops basically anywhere.
Don’t forget them Vergil unblockables with Cent Rush M.
I kinda like the Hulk idea. I might try that out later, though I already have a Hulk team to counterpick Wolverine.
Godlike. Also, I use Weasel Shot. But recently I’ve been playing Nova/Doom. I play Nova/X/Strider so that’s definitely cool.
Nova Doom? Still good. In the corner you can do the fly unfly but when you land:
Found that combo today in the lab
Nice. Yeah, Nova/Doom/Strider has it’s perks. I play it vs drones/missiles. Weasel Shot is good since it pins you down so long, but vs teams that never let you get close it can be difficult to take advantage of.
So I’ve swapped out Spencer for Frank which brings the team to Nova/Frank/Task. I’m pretty happy with the results but I am happy trouble with adding shopping cart into a combo. Any suggestions? Situation : I confirm off task’s H-arrows and begin a combo. how can i tack on more dmg with shopping cart?
I’ll see what I can do but from the experience I have working with Nova Frank in the lab, it’s hard to get that assist in combos
In my experience it’s always possible to get Centurion Rush M, Centurion Rush H off a F+H OTG + Cart at the end of a combo, even with really high HSD but it’s really unreliable at the best of times. Cart will pretty much always wreck your damage as opposed to improve it, but, Nova/Frank is not about first hit damage, it’s about getting the Chainsaws, then damage is the least of your worries. In fact you should try to avoid using Shopping Cart in combos when you’re levelling Frank since it will prevent you using Nova assist after the Frank DHC.

It’s so nice to see words spoken about Frank that are absolutely correct and not see my avatar next to them. Sottle’s right, cart isn’t an extender, it’s a confirmer/pressure tool. If you hit without it you’re better off saving it for Frank in some capacity.
Just picked this game up this past December… I know I’m way late … Picked up Nova pretty quick, love the character, super fun… Also picked up Doom reading the beginning of this thread and Nova/Doom is a pretty good shell for me. I’m looking for some advice on a good anchor. Been switching between Vergil and Wesker because they are solid anchors but once Nova goes down neither have good synergy with Doom. Been thinking of using Strider, Spencer, Hawkeye or Ammy… Looking for some advice. Should I stick it out … Give them all a try or replace doom all together?
