I’ve been thinking about running Vergil with Ammy because of the cold star assist any thoughts?
Use a character with an OTG (so, Wesker, although I use X-23 because of preference).
Do a fairly basic combo, OTG assist while doing spiral swords, charge round trip during the super freeze and release, couple more hits into Lunar Phase, HARD TAG to Frank and camera for instant level 4 (assuming your combo was decent enough, but that shouldn’t be hard). Seriously, the ground bounce gives more than enough time for a hard tag. You can do this as your very first combo of the match and you’ll even have enough meter to end the combo with Frank’s super.
I strongly recommend other people in this thread consider Frank with Vergil. It’s kinda stupid.
I’m running Dante/Vergil/Akuma. Sell me on Frank as the anchor
Just try him yourself? Shopping cart is arguably better than Akuma’s tatsu is now overall, and while level 1 Frank is weak, he’s plain absurd if you can get him to level 4. It only takes a 50 hit combo to get there, which isn’t difficult with the hard tag combo I just mentioned.
I said above to use an OTG assist but I’m honestly sure you could come up with a way to get there with whoever you want to use. It’s probably possible to get to 50 hits without wasting the ground bounce even without an assist, which would make x/Vergil/Frank work fine.
Maybe I’m a bit wrong to think this, but would Ghost Rider / Morrigan / Vergil work out?
Ghost Rider seems like an easier character to outright spam Morrigan’s Dark Harmonizer with, and when she gets in she can essentially either make use of the meter or save it up for Vergil.
Given the first two, it seems very likely Vergil will be allowed at least -3- bars of hyper to come in and Devil Trigger/Summoned Swords it up. Does Vergil make better use out of assists, or meter?
What are some dominating assists for Vergil to use in order to get his mix ups/safe pressure going besides Doom’s assist?
My Doom isn’t coming along very well, and I’d like to know if there are some alternatives for my anchor/assist. I don’t like Hawkeye or Sentinel either, for the record.
Vergil Sentinel… its pretty good…>_>
Needs a brain to play though but a good team overall
What ya think about Vergil/Doom/Wesker
I think you have cheap left/right mixups + safe pressure , a great OTG/easy combo extender/well timed unblockable setup assist, and Dark Wesker anchor. What could possibly go wrong?
Sigh! my Team Is Nemesis/Vergil/Hawkeye
Wat do u guys think
I’d recommend Dr. Strange with Bolts of Balthakk. It’s great for screen control and holds your opponent in place long enough for you to teleport three times to keep them guessing/mix them up. It basically functions like Sentinel drones, but I personally think it’s better.
However, if execution is the reason your Doom isn’t coming along, then Strange might not be the character for you. You gotta have a pretty good sense of timing and execution to get good damage with Strange. However, in XF3 with a few meters stocked, your opponent can’t really press any buttons unless they want to eat 550k instantly.
I’d say give him a shot.
Hi Guys…
I really wana play Vergil but I havent made my mind what wil work with him. I dont wana have a heavy mixup team with low HP…I was thinkin of playin nemi as the point then Vergil and then Sentinel.
I would be greatfull for any tips in teambuilding with Vergil…dont wana build a team arround him that isnt fitting him
Nemi/Verg/Sent sounds good, any success when you tried the team out? Hey guys, what do ya think about Vergil - Judgment/Super Skrull - Orbital/Sent - Drones? Should I use Stone Smite instead of Orbital Grudge?
Nemi is just a powerhorse and he kinda realy builds fast meter + your opponent has to use alot of meter to kill him…Vergil is ok if you know he bnb and mixups the only feared spot is sentinel…if he gets hit he may be dead but overall his drones are really good to support nemi and vergil but in overall nemi so he can comein and do alot of dmg…you can DHC Vergil after nemis super so
Current Team I’m tinkering with is Vergil (Rapid Slash)/Dante(Weasel Shot)/Dorm (Dark Hole). Just started it so still figuring out tech as my old team was Magneto/Vergil/Dante.
However, thinking I might change it to Vergil/Wesker/Dorm or maybe Dante/Vergil/Dorm what do people think are best assists?
Think wesker is so strong a choice he’s hard to ignore on a team and dorm + vergil actually have a lot of synergy. Dark Hole sets up great RapidSlash Mixups and if dorm comes in with Vergil as an assist make them block dark hole than have rapidslash push them fullscreen.
Did ok, think Vergil might be able to combo off High Time with it but haven’t checked yet what do others think?
Any good horizontal projectile assist will work with Vergil. I personally like Doom, one of the best beam assists in the game, plus the DHC synergy between the two of them is awesome and Doom builds buckets of meter while doing lots of damage.
Ya been thinking of doom. Vergil/Dorm/Doom or Vergil/Doom/Dorm? Seems Dorm would do better with Doom assist than vice versa. Disruptor worked well with vergil and doom beam is much better. What assists besides Vajir work with Doom? Don’t know much about him except he’s really good in this game.
I’m thinking of doing a Task (45 degree arrows?)/Vergil (Judgement Cut)/Doom (Hidden Missiles).
Task’s there as a solid battery point to build meter for Vergil. I was thinking of picking Judgement Cut and pretty much treat it as a corner oki, especially with DT boost, but don’t know if that will work well. Doom’s there for being a good character overall if all else fails, plus Hidden Missiles can be used to set up lockdown and even a delayed OTG from mid-screen to corner.
I’m far from being a good player but this is the team i’m currently using. I used to play Trish instead of X-23 but I couldn’t really ‘click’ with her compared to Dante and Vergil.
Vergil (Judgement Cut) / Dante(Jam Session or Weasel Shot) / X-23( Ankle Slice)
Starting with Vergil on point.
With his unsafe normals I usually call in Dante for Weasel Shot for some mix ups.
Ankle Slice assist provides Vergil to extend his combos.
Depending on the situation, I raw tag dante in during his combos while dante can extend it a little.
The team in general is also centered on safe Raw tags.
Here’s an example on what I mean.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Vergil/Dorm/Doom would probably be better, DHCing from Vergil> Dorm would be more damaging. You also get the safe DHC into stalking flare. Dorm works well with doom beam especially now that he has better teleport mixups. Dorm’s black hole assist would help doom out to extend combos mid-screen, it sometimes whiffs corner, but doom can handle himself in the corner.
