Yeah, wtf?! Over on the doom thread there are three vids posted up of crazy TAC combos into doom similar to that. Of course, MarlinPie is the only one using them in matches that I’ve seen so far - shit is cool! Gotta learn that, for sure. StylePie.
Holy shit, I kind of think Viper/Strider/Ammy in my mind now, Ive been feeling obligated to play viper more since in Norcal Ive seen more and more VIpers ( actually Ive seen 5 different people use her in the past 4 tourneys Ive been too… shes a sexy trend ) I used her before but Never had a team. So now Im thinking…
Viper/Strider/Doom
Viper/Doom/Ammy
Viper/Ammy/Strider
Viper/Vergil ( srk assist is godlike its almost a softknockdown and easy to combo off of )/XX
Ive also thought about VIper/wesker, I gain more unblockables but I possibly love Beam control or Air control which is a big risk since both are Heavy Ground Game Characters…
SO yeah Obviously Viper lead, I need to do some DHC experimenting.
Use the M&M combo after Up TAC for Viper to Doom. Its easier to do and pretty good and now you can end it with gun to foot dive and then land super dhc back to viper
I play viper/vergil/strider as do a few others around here. Strider with vajra of course and vergil with rapid slash. Rapid slash can be comboed off of, it pushes the opponent to the corner even on block, and you can relaunch with it. As for viper’s assist, everybody seems to prefer a different one. I like seismo to extend vergil combos.
Viper combo into swords dhc = death. With vergil on point, one can easily dhc into burst time after a dimension slash hyper.
Right now I’m using Viper/Dante and I’m looking for a third. I’d want to use Dorm or Firebrand, but I can’t really find a good combo with Viper utilizing their assists. Does anyone know how to relaunch with Firebrand’s Demon Missile assist? I just can’t time it consistently. And it seems that no one really has a Viper combo using Dorm’s assist. Anyone have advice? I may just end up using Doom or Strider, but I don’t really like those characters.
Viper/Strider/Ammy is evil.
If I were to rank my top Viper team composition it would be.
Viper/(Doom/Sentinel/Ammy)/Strider
or
Viper/Doom/Ammy
You can use both assist to get more thunder knuckles in your combo and use vajra as your relaunch
Oh yeah I forgot about the thunder knuckles lol thanks. Is there any way to use Firebrand’s Demon Missile or Dorm’s Dark hole/purification assists in relaunch though?
Yes if your execution is good enough
My alt team which is mainly build around viper/hsien ko which is a good combo but my 3rd character doom seems like he fits but its like I have to do more waiting around than when I had morrigan last because I could just chip you to death,some people can get doom to work be I cant lol
For those of you running Viper/Magneto why are you going with Hyper Grav over Disruptor. Is it just for the combo
What’s the combo? I’d rather put one of them on my team than Strider or Doom. I haven’t figured out a relaunch with dark hole/purification, but I know you can with demon missile. I just can’t time seismo -> sjc BK consistently.
@thedestroyer
Yes, it is. But so was disruptor in vanilla. Of course it could also be used to get in and open people up, but the downside was that it probably wasn’t available formthe relaunch in that case. That’s why marlinpie mostly uses cold star for that purpose.
I am now using Viper/Strider/IronMan (repulsar).
No, I will not stop tinkering with my team.
Tell me the assist you want to use and I will tell you the combo
The easiest way for me at least
Glad to see I’m not the only one tinkering. I find it damn hard to settle on a main team with Viper.
My latest team is Morrigan(Harmonizer)/Viper(Seismo)/Dr.Doom(HM) The only reason I’m running this team, is because I have come to like Morrigan a lot in Ultimate. Fortunantly, this team does have some synergy. Afterwards, it also makes you feel like you have been furiously playing the piano all day.
I might just stick with it.
Why drop Ammy for IM? It seems potentially really strong, but that anchor IM assistless makes me really worried.
I played with Morrigan/Viper for a while, but I didn’t feel either character gained alot from the Synergies other than the obvious dark harmonizer = EX Seismo.
I just don’t like Doom no matter how much I play him, it’s the same reason I dropped the dog.
I really hate the dog. Also, that was a typo, the team is Viper/IM/Strider.
Just curious FlyingVe have you tried Trish/Viper/Strider. Its a pretty deadly team and you get an unblockable. also whats really cool is you can dhc from burst time to round harvest tag in strider and use vjara to get a hard knockdown. I havent tried this out but i will tomorrow. I think if you did not use vjara you can tag in Viper and call Strider assist and have Viper use sesmo
Actually, no, I’m usually kind of iffy on Trish, but I like the idea of having her on point. What assist do you use with Viper for this team?
I’m actually back to good ole, Vergil/Viper/Strider… shrug Also messed with Viper/Nova/Strider, you can do some nasty stuff with Viper and CentB assist, but Nova kinda gets left out to dry if he’s on point.
