yeah definitely. I like that assist for Viper. with strange on point, you can hit the ball around but it does less hits as it moves. the assist version is stationary meaning you’ll get all the hits in. the hitbox is probably big enough to put all incoming characters after a snap/kill into blockstun.
played a little bit with Viper the other day with Viper/Mag/Doom like you guys recommended. and holy shit is this team a lot of fun. missiles + seismos scared the crap out of my buddy when I played him and even a pretty basic B&B using Magneto’s disruptah assist did a ton of damage. loving this team. gotta start working on air to air options and FADC EX Seismos. why are people sleeping on this character for Dante, again?
I’ve played with it, and Viper/Doom is really, really, really good…
…Which makes it even funnier when I say Viper/Dante is even better…
A more serious answer is that Dante’s assist and character is more flexible, and Jam Session is one of the best answers in the game to the few characters that can exploit Viper’s blind spot.
Actually I usually do that ender most times too, just because I don’t want to risk dropping the combo after I’ve made it to that point… That and I need a new Sanwa stick for my TE.
There are some assists that will let you just get a jS>BK though.
Yeah, there’s a few… but besides Viper and Doom, the rest of the cast has no appeal to me anymore. That’s why I get excited when I see that one of the new characters can work good with Viper
Viper/Dr. Doom/Dr.Strange Team looks too perfect! I have a feeling Vergil is gonna be awesome though
People are gonna claim Vergil is top tier no matter what when they release his trailer. He could look average in it but just the sheer fact he is Vergil 14-16 year olds will be jizzing their pants over him.
problem with teleport assists is that they don’t cross-up, like wolverine’s breserker slash was pretty useless.
Strider seems underwhelming compared to the rest of the cast with his low 600k range health and low damage, but this game is still not out so chances are that I’m wrong
Some fun mixups, and combo extensions using the wall bounce. Plus, easy long range siesmo hitconfirms. My lab work is kinda halted at the moment due to several things:
I can do some more work if people are interested, but as useful as the assist and DHC’s can be, the team just doesn’t support Jill very well when she’s on point. She just needs something to help her get in and Jam Session and Viper don’t do that.
Although… Ammy cold star does… I’ll play with Viper/Jill/Ammy or Viper/Jill/Sentinel.
Jill and Sentinel are really, really good together.
I tried that, the problem is it doesn’t really last long enough to do what I want for Jill and it really gimps Viper compared to Jam Session. Besides, I’ve got some ideas for Viper Seninel Tech.
Seriously, Jill+Sent is good. Call Sent>Machine Gun Spray>free mixup. And Jill’s Mixups are brutal. You have other tricks with Ammy. Jill 623AA>Slow-Mo>Raw Tag Jill>623A>623A>623A>623A>623A>623A.
Weasel shot is good for viper and an annoying lockdown to get in. It has great range for what it is. And Ve that spencer/jill/modok you’re talking about was a team i played against at UFO lol. Pretty good actually.
I’ve been playing Viper/Taskmaster/Iron Man (Maya/Tony/Tony) for a few months and I don’t even know about it anymore. Viper is the most fun I have in this game, but I can’t have a team of three Vipers. Taskmaster is getting more and more boring the more I play. Everyone also plays him the same boring way. And Iron Man…he’s my second favorite character to play in this game. I played as him for a few matches at the NYC Fight Club. I wasn’t expecting him to feel completely different. His ground-to-air dash feels so slippery (like Strider’s dash). They kind of just turned him into a jenky Magneto/Storm.
I’m thinking of just doing Viper/Dante/Hsien-ko while waiting for Ultimate. Although I don’t feel Strange will be as dominant as people think he’ll be, his potential to help out Viper sounds so exciting.
hsien-ko isnt very good but if you want her assist put her on point. Also FlyingVe theres alot of Viper/Sentinel tech.
Call drones right before a launch and when you knock them down the drones can kinda juggle them and you can continue a combo. Also dhcing between the two isnt that hard. Sentinel is a great character overall. I dont think im going to stick with him in ultimate becasue I dont like the changes but he will still be decent
He had Modok as anchor and it was jill/spencer or jill/superskrull. Since all three of those characters have wall bounces he was doing some creative stuff with balloon bomb to extend combos. Pretty effective.
Also he used Balloon Bomb as like a Tron assist sorta. He would hover around it hoping you would attack. Since it stays out there for like 5 seconds it was pretty effective.
