Here’s some stuff I whipped up a few weeks ago that lets you get Level 3/4 Frank.
with Jill: j.HS,sMH,2H,4H,22S,Somersault, j.HS, [jMMHS, MMHxxCALL STRIDER.S,s.S,Arrow Kick,Double KneeDrop,22S,Somersault, Raven Spike, DHC into Survival Techniques, SnapShot.
With Jill, you can do the same exact combo (minus Strider) from full screen and after the jump loops (can only do one), Somersault into Machine Gun Hyper, then DHC into his Cart special then Snap a shot right after for insta level 4/5.
After Jill’s Double Knee Drop, you can easily raw tag frank for a snap shot in as well.
the first raw tag setup is kind of cheating, web zip combos only work on standing opponents and no one is standing that often. the web throw set up is corner specific.
it’s okay though because there’s a newer spider man bnb which gets over 20 hits assist less anywhere on screen. also in that video was some thc peculiarity: doing a thc right after raw tagging with 2 meters will do one between frank and the 3rd slot character, so putting one of his thc friends in that slot yields greater benefits than spending 2 meters to use the dhc set up off of maximum spider just to get level 4 for more trouble than it’s worth
Sorry for the long wait for any first post updates. Between finals and the holidays, it’s just hard right now. I don’t even own a copy of the game to test this stuff at the moment.
First post edit: added a video on thc compatible characters, added a list of probable characters that set up frank for a hard tag tat I have no video evidence for at the moment, and added Deadpool as a definitive hard tag setup, with video.
For the hard tag section, anytime Frank has 1 meter during survival tactics hyper he can DHC into any character with a power up hyper then hard tag back in to get a snapshot. So you can do it with Wolverine, Amaterasu, Ryu, Vergil, Dante, Arthur, Firebrand, and Hsien-Ko. Please correct me if I forgot anyone.
I posted the vid proof in the other Frank level up thread, but x-23 WXP super (DP+2atk) gives you spinning knockdown and easy whiff super with frank. It’s only 15 hits from the super, but it’s not hard at all to have a 34 hit combo with x-23 and on hulk and sentinel (maybe nem too, haven’t tested tho) you don’t even need the otg assist for the super. So easy level 4 or 5 depending on the assists you have to follow up with.
I can’t see it listed* so: Thor’s Air Mighty Tornado works in a similar way to Nova & Skrull. I’ve not tested it properly, but I’m *sure *the character/dummy teched out if you let the hyper go the full course. DHCing after 30 hits seems to be legit for a Pic.
Why can’t you make it work? Does Wesker’s counter last too long? If so, DHC into Wesker before Survival techniques’ final hit (when the enemy is the highest possible during the hyper) and see if it works.
Also, in my experience you can only take a picture after BLS if you XFC. Unless you can somehow link it if you did BLS right after a level 3/4 OTG ToS (hammer) so that they’re higher when they wallbounce and you get more time to combo.
Yeah… The counter seems to take too long before the opponent is able to recover for a hard tag. Is there a specific point in survival tactics that anyone has found for this to work?
Sweet i noticed my hard tag with iron fist setup was actually posted on here. I just made a new on messing around its mostly just a concept. It gets level 3 but i’m fairly certain level 4 wouldn’t be an issue. Let me know if you get level 5 from a setup like this one. [media=youtube]oDKkkDXiL0Y[/media]
It would seem you’re out of luck I tried this myself and I can’t find any timing that would allow you to hard tag into frank and let him take a picture =/
Vergil can get Frank to lvl 4 with only one bar. I’ve only tried one set up, but I’m sure most of Vergil’s Spiral Sword combos ending in Lunar Phase will do over 50 hits and allow you to hard tag Frank in and get a shot, assuming you haven’t used Vergil’s ground bounce yet.
I have a setup with shuma for instant level 5 frank. I combo into mystic stare then xx hyper mystic smash and then dhc into frank. The super whiffs, take photo, then the eyeballs explode as soon as I take the photo, allowing me to launch or just take another photo.
