As FlyingVe said, we’ve gone over the team a lot though as then I have the same oppinion now, that Viper/Dante/Magneto is the order that helps Viper more with a higher damaging DHC and more importantly a safe way to get out of there from anywhere on the screen while tempest is Magneto’s closest substitute and really isn’t the same as Devil Trigger. Also I like insuring that Dante has EM disruptor assist as he loses a lot by not having a strong horizontal assist, that’s why I keep Magneto in the back, he also happens to be the best user of XF3 by a small margin.
Alright, thanks a lot guys. I completely understand, I had no idea it was such a common idea. To be honest I’m a little disappointed that I wasn’t nearly as original as I thought, but I suppose this means there’s a lot for me to learn from others about this. I’ll be sure to look back in this thread for the info.
Again, thanks for the replies! And I apologize if I was perpetuating a broken record. =P
EDIT: Oh, and what about viper’s assist? Will I find that further back in the thread too?
The other way to look at it is. In trying to make the best team, everyone came to about the same conclusion. Seems to suggest we were all right.
So guys after playing Viper casually since the game came out I have decided to make her a main of mine. The team I came up with is Viper (Seismo)/Trish(Voltage thing)/Dante(Jam Session) i just can’t drop this stylish bastard. I can do basic Viper Seismo air-dash into relaunch with trish assist corner combos that can even kill Thor because I DHC into Round Harvest than raw tag Dante and use his combo extensions (while building extra meter :lol:)But im unsure what are her most important “tricks of the trade” if you will are and im not sure what combo I should do mid-screen any help is appriciated.
I run a similar team except switch dante for sentinel. Dante is really good for Viper. It gives her access to level 3 focus attack unblockables and more. There are tons of info on Viper with Jam session on this forum so yea just look around. For this team another setup you have in knockdown in roundharvest with Trish, then tag in Viper and call Dante assist to get an unblockable.
For the “tricks of the trade” I would say just practice great seismo placement. Don’t worry about trying to do a zillion seismo chains in a row… 1 good placed seismo is a billiion times better than 300 shitty ones in a row. Jam session covers Vipers blind spot so it godlike for her. Remember that one of her best tools is Focus attack --> EX Seismo (cancel the FA in the seismo). Its the best move in the game because it beats everything and even on block its gives you serious frame advantage. SJCing a regular seismo into focus attack then doing an ex seismo is amazingly good.
What do you guys think about C.Viper(burnkick),Dante(Jam session), and doom(plasma beam)
Also Trish(Peekaboo/hopscotch),Dog(coldstar),and C.Viper(Burnkick)
Hidden Missiles and Molecular Shield would be better for Viper then Plasma Beam. Since you already have Dante, I’m thinking Doom Rocks.
[LEFT]never really messed around with the other assist. Doom rocks is like tron flame assist though right. A lot of blockstun except it has no invincibility.[/LEFT]
I kinda see it a crappy version of Sent Drones, but with that nifty startup phase (where the rocks are spinning around him). You can do an easy relaunch with Viper/Rocks.
Also how well does Felicia go with C.Viper been wanting to make a C.Viper team with her for awhile
I don’t know jack about Felecia. I know she can be a good anchor, and you might be able to set up some unblockables with her.
I’d go into training with it myself but it takes awhile for my creative juices to get flowing.
I 100% agree Viper/Dante/Magneto is godlike. Also if magneto happens to be last and sitting with 5 bars and no x-factor…no problem, he can go for “Double squeeze in the corner”. I dont know about UMvC3, but Im “thinking” Dr.Strange is gonna be really good with her
The past couple weeks I’ve been going to local sessions and was surprised by how well I was doing with Zero/Viper, but there’s a ton riding on that third spot. Any suggestions? I usually ran with Chris - which may work better in Ultimate - but couldn’t make it work to a level where it was comfortable. Right now considering Doom or Ironman.
You can try ironman or dante, magneto also works since he and zero also have stuff together.
I don’t think Dante helps either one of them with their approaches and I doubt Mags will in Ultimate since his beam has been slowed.
Thats kinda what I meant when I said a lot rides on the third. Zero and Viper only compliment each other with “bonuses” like unblockables, they don’t cover each other’s weaknesses at all - so that third character has to do the covering for the both of them.
how about Akuma?
I don’t think anything he has is going to help either on approach. They both benefit from long range, lockdown style assists which is the main reason I’m thinking Ironman or Doom.
I beeen using Mags in the third spot.
Disruptor really helps them both get in, Helps C.Viper and Zero with their relaunch
I also use Doom missiles or plasma beam, both his assists have their place on the team but really change the way you play the other characters
