ive been using Iron Man/Sentinel/Spiral lately. I put spiral last so that IM can infinite, dhc to sentinel. Otherwise I have to dhc through spiral and that pretty much wastes a level. If I have sentinel/spiral, its an easy dhc to switch the order. Also, with iron man, i use spirals knives to zone them.
btw u CAN dhc from proton cannon to spiral’s super if u absolutely need to. When the proton cannon is hitting them, u have to wait till halfway through the super when they lift higher and then dhc to spiral and the knives will hit them.
Im still working on stuff with them but figured out a couple of decent combos and reset with them:
Spiral: launch + IM, sj.fp xx load swords, circle swords, FP (im sure u can do more after this but the flying screen makes it hard)
Sentinel corner reset with spiral projectile assist:
hsf, s.fp + sprial xx fast fly, f.lk, f.fp, unfly DASH FORWARD hsf
what will happen is when u do the f.fp, it knocks them into the swords but they’re stuck at that height. when u land, u can dash forward and you’ll both be facing away from each other so when u do the hsf it will reset
yeah i was doing that and quick drop + fp xx sword super xx proton cannon at chinatown yesterday. I was doing pretty decent with this team. the way i play this team is infinite with iron man and proton cannon dhc to sentinel for a 1-hit death. If that doesnt work and iron man gets killed, my next character is sentinel. when he comes in, I hsf and dhc to spiral so i can trap. I really can play the team in any order but I like my chances starting iron man.
thanks. yeah canibus had so much potential. I think if people actually understood his rhymes, he would have been considered one of the best. But he’s over most people’s heads. Such a shame.
That I can respect. The general public isn’t ready for him, even now. Like he said, they would rather remain unenlightened, than listen to him. I’m glad he didn’t dumb his shit down to cater to most. He’s damn sure in my top 5, along with Rakim, Biggie, etc…
Back to topic: You got a solid transition from Spiral to anyone, and you got a nice team. I wonder if she could D+ HP to knives(super) to HoD? Also, does her standing HK hitstun them long enough to DHC to the Proton Cannon?
im not sure about blackheart, but u actually should be able to cancel JAB xx sword super xx proton cannon and it should easily connect because proton has instant startup when u dhc. i kno with magneto, i used to do jab xx tempest xx proton cannon, so hk should be no problem.
Good stuff on coming up with a new team. Also give ironman projectile assist a try. It works well with spiral’s trap. The only problem is finding another character that can use IM-projectile assist just as well.
IM DHCs are just nasty and they do mad chip damage. Even the best players at CF get tagged with IM infinite and then it’s game over. And IM + Sent is too good. IM-B assist sets up HSF way too easily.
It’ll be good to see your team in action at CF. We need more Spiral players out there-- she just plain wrecks some Mag and Storm based teams because they haven’t played against her enough.
I think the problem with this team is im starting the match with my anti-air. and sometimes Spiral just needs an anti-air to get some breathing room and get more knives. I think what i’ll have to do is change the order depending on what team im facing.
no i mean I start the fight using Iron Man and if he gets hurt or dies, spiral has no assist to keep magneto away. If I can manage to get away, im good at staying away, but magneto needs 1 hit and u can forget it. I might have to start matches against magneto teams with spiral but start other matches using iron man.
True dat. I always start Spiral against anyone, really. It is surprisingly easy to keep away from magneto with her, it’s just a matter of being able to get the swords on safely.
I got family in Newark, man. next time I visit, I'll give you a heads up and I'll see when you all go to CTF.
I used to screw around with Spiral/Storm/Cable. Storm’s assist is pseudo-like that of Sent’s drones but has better priority (will cut through a lot of AAA) and also “lags” the game when the screen is filled up, sort of pisses off the opponent if they can’t guard cancel and SJ out of it. Storm is safe to DHC into and does a lot of chip with hail + Spiral alpha assist, Cable provides the anti-air + AHVB for the kill.
