What do you guys think about Deadpool(katana)/Vergil(rapid slash)/Doom(beam)?
I’m currently running Zero, Vergil, Arthur. I’m runnng Arthur with dagger assist and honestly it benefits Vergil pretty good. But without X-Factor, I seem to loose a lot with Arthur. I was wondering if their was a character that I could use with an assist that really helps Vergil’s mixups and is still a good anchor. (Besides Hawkeye) lol.
Taskmaster

Doom, Magneto, Hawkeye, Task, Akuma
Hello everyone this is my first post and umvc3 is my first fighting game. I want to train and get to the point where I don’t suck ass 24/7 but im having trouble deciding who I should learn. Im pretty set on vergil and wesker because I love dmc and it sounds like vergil needs weskers otg assist for combos. I’m liking captain americas shield slash and trishs low voltage because they seem like easy characters for a noob like me to learn and im assuming those assists are awesome with vergils teleports. So what do you experts think would work best with this team? And what order should they be in? Feel free to tell me if my choices suck any advice is greatly appreciated.
I saw your video and I really like what you did with Vergil and the arrow assist. I just feel like the arrows aren’t fast enough to help Zero’s cross ups.
Then do you just have to call them earlier in your block-string. It actually makes your cross-ups much more ambiguous.
That make’s sense. I’ll hit the lab with it right now and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the quick reply btw. Also, I was actually considering putting Vergil anchor. I know it’s weird but he seems like a character with great comeback potential with meter and XF. So anyway’s does Taskmaster benefit from Rapid Slash at all or is there another character that benefits from rapid slash?
No problem. He is actually a really good anchor just because how fast he gets and he can combo off his air-grabs and ground grabs in lvl3 xfactor. Vergil can definitively reverse OCV an entire team. Taskmaster is really good with rapid slash becuase he can keep people out for days with it. Also Call Rapid Slash xx Shield Skills covers basically the entire lower portion of the screen and Taskmaster can confirm off the rapid slash with another Shield Skills.
I appreciate the help. I’m definitely hitting the lab with Taskmaster and I hope for a good outcome.
I’m trying to run a Viper/Vergil team to sub in for my Viper/Zero/Dante team. Is Taskmaster the best choice to run with Viper/Vergil, or just your personal choice? It seems to me like an anti air assist is pretty important to keeping Viper safe (then again, it might just be that I’m bad at blocking). I just want to know if it’s worth picking up Taskmaster, or are there other good options to put on anchor? I’m open to a lot of characters, I am just unsure whether or not to jump on Taskmaster, because I feel like a lot of Viper/Vergil players will be doing just that.
Magneto anchor works too. Generally just find a good assist for his teleport and you’ll be good to go.
Anti air with Focus attack or EX seismo
does not play Viper so take it with a grain of salt.
Vergil/Doom/Sent
Is it a decent team? What are your guys thoughts? I just started messing around with Vergil and I mostly play Doom and Sent.
Okay, I haven’t been on these forums for a while, but I need **desperate **help deciding the last member of my team.
Right now, I’m running Vergil and Taskmaster who have excellent synergy together. I can use the simple teleport mixups with Task’s arrow assist for easy left/rights. With Taskmaster, I can zone my opponent with arrows and Vergil’s rapid slash assist. I can also hit-confirm Rapid Slash with Taskmaster’s arrows into a full combo without having to Hyper Cancel into DT or Spiral Swords. Lastly, Taskmaster’s diagonal arrow hyper can DHC into Vergil’s spiral sword for a TOD. Vergil already had a TOD off of anything with Taskmaster’s arrows since they scale so damn well. And I even came up with a Taskmaster combo that uses Vergil’s rapid slash assist for a TOD.
I need help deciding my third team member. The biggest problem I have is getting in with Taskmaster. If there’s any assist that would help get him in, or possibly an OTG assist for Vergil to extend his combos more. Any advice guys? I know Viper works great, but I don’t want to run that team since Acekillah is already using her. Ideas anyone, all help is greatly appreciated. The more knowledge you have on the game, the better. Thank you.
You should definatley go with Hawkeye. Hawkeye’s greyhound assist gives you the opportunity to control more of the screen with Taskmaster. Trust me, double arrows are hard to deal with. Also if for some reason Taskmaster gets K.O.'d then you still have greyhound for Vergil teleport mix ups. And from my personal experience Hawkeye is a great anchor.
At the risk of repeating everyone else on here, I’ve been running Zero / Vergil / Hawkeye but am not liking Hawkeye as much on anchor as I had hoped.
How does Akuma assist work out with Vergil for you guys?
Akuma assist is pretty good with Vergil but from Zero’s perspective, you’re gonna have two assists which largely serve the same purpose (wasteful) and two meter-heavy characters backing him up, which is a bit much even for Zero’s meter build. I think a better anchor for that team is Dante, and a lot of very good Zeros use that team.
Dante or Doom are most likely your best options
Which Dante assist?
