Ok, so I need some match-up advice against dante and wolverine. My team is viper/ammy/akuma, but I was using viper/sent/akuma. Any advice fighting against those characters and maybe my team is very appreciated. oh, and I’ve been using viper for about 3 months and can pretty much do everything she has to offer except her infinite and viper ball? thanks in advance.
Focus and EX are the two big key’s to blowing up those two characters. Other than that focus on patience and space control with Seismo. Viper can out lame both of those characters.
Thanks, I think that is one my main problems is not being patient enough. I always try to rush them.
If you use Doom rocks you can potentially do some unblockable stuff. For instance, while standing right next to the opponent you can L siesmo~jump cancel~doom assist~Attack+Special (hold to full charge). If timed right it sets up the perfect unblockable. If they push block the siesmo, you can cancel the focus attack into a dash and have some time for a mixup - if they don’t pushblock, they are fucked - full combo time.
This has to be timed perfectly though so that the rocks don’t hit after the fully charge focus attack. Try it out - it’s pretty fun!
To be honest, I don’t like Doom’s beam with Viper. It’s the way it blows people away on hit. I prefer Unibeam, Disruptor, or Arrows.
I’ve been fooling around with some different teams lately, and I started playing Viper today. What do you think about Viper/Doom/Skrull? What would some good assists be?
I would imagine Tenderizer can do some dirty stuff with Viper. And Skrull likes a beam, so probably plasma beam.
I just saw a match from NYCC where somebody used Tenderizer after :l:.Seismo. What he did was just extend the combo, but overall it has a lot of potential.
I was also thinking it could be good for resets.
Definitely could.
I still wish it was the downward version of it though.
Good advice, thanks. I already use Doom/Skrull, so I’m fully aware that Skrull likes beams; I use him as an anchor, though, so it doesn’t come up too much. How would Plasma Beam work with Viper?
Same way everyone uses EM Disruptor, except a little different. It’s probably more like how I use Unibeam, but without the fullscreen Seismo Hitconfirms.
You should be able to just replace Unibeam with Plasma beam for the combos. Also, I find FADC more stable then TK Light BK for relaunching with multi-hit beams.
I would once again like to stress the importance of spelling out the phrase “tiger knee” when on the Viper boards.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I’m making a new team, right now I have
C.Viper-burnkick, and Felicia-rolling buckler
Who would be a good anchor for this team. I was thinking someone with a beam assist.
Is anyone else feeling hawkeye. I think he will be good on a viper team probably as an anchor cuz those almost istant punishing supers are dangerous. Imagine you and your opponet are down to the last character. Lets say your opponet has akuma who chugs fireballs to do keep away and chip, you could punish each fireball!!!(as long as u have meter). Also his assist would be the one when he shoots in the sky and alot of arrows come down. I think instead of doing the seismo into assist then bk reluanch you could call hawkeye assist and do the 2 seismos relaunch and somehow end it from there. BUT we’ll never know until the game comes out.
If you can relaunch Assisted Seismo Relaunch with the poison arrow that would be awesome.
Still hoping a character pops up that let’s me use Zero and Viper together in a competitive environment.
What I’m thinking is** [ Zero / * / Viper ]** or [ Viper / * / Zero ]. The premise being playing it like a Phoenix team, where I play a two character game with the point character and the second functioning as the assist. Anchor of course cleans up with X-Factor. Both Zero and Viper can OTG pickup without an assist, so that helps matters.
I don’t want to speculate too much on the middle character until I see Rocket.
EDIT: Let me add, that I keep coming back to trying to use them on the same team due not only to how much I enjoy playing both - but the amount of time needed to really get the most out of them.
Though I said I wouldn’t speculate - I can’t help it 
Middle character could be Doom on beam, Hawkeye on poison or vertical or Task on horizontal arrow.
I know this is kinda off but imagine if they put anakaris in this game and kept his grab assist and gave it ground bounce. Viper and anakaris would be the new best friends. Those would be some nasty setups for viper…just thinking:coffee:
I like that duo actually. I used to play them but with viper first and they have great dhc imo. I think Spencer might be a good anchor for them because you could do rekoha or any of vipers hypers into a whiffed bionic manuevers to do some vertical wire grapple combos. In UMvC3 i think Nova might be good for them as an anchor
I’ve ran it several times in the past. The only way I think Zero and Viper can work on the same team is if ran the way I proposed above. They give each other bonuses, but really don’t cover each other’s weaknesses. In my team Viper’s the anchor. Zero and the second character are the point team.
I’ve always thought Viper would be a crazy sick anchor with her invincible EXs, focus attack and seismo game - but air x-factor seals the deal.
