Protect Clothesline L with assists

Classic Fighting Games Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3

Hi there,

I have been reading the UMVC3 Offical guide and it mentions that the Clothsline L variation should be protected by an assist incase it’s blocked. I was just wondering if any Nemesis players do that? I mostly see that move used in combos. In practice mode I have tried backing the move up with Chris’ grenade or arthur’s daggars. The grenade seems fine becasue if the move is blocked the grenade just goes off so it’s another move for them to block and if the clothsline hits then actually the opponent whizzes past the grenade when they rebound back from the wall bounce. Daggars though is fine when they block but if the clothesline hits and the daggars obviously hits too the daggars just wreck the move completely lol.

does anyone protect this move at all? Also has anyone tries Modok and Nemesis? I would love to see a team with them in it.

Cheers

Clothesline L is his safest blockstring ender. To my knowledge it’s only punishable by normal throws so throwing an assist to keep it totally safe is prudent if you’re not saving said assist for combos or whatnot. Usually I don’t bother protecting it and just look for the throwbreak or go for an armor move to blow through if they try to punish with anything slower than a throw. Most people don’t try to throw punish it and most people can’t get a ton of damage off of ground throws even if they did.
