i may have been unclear, but i meant as a team, psy is easier to work with for a beginner who’s probably not too comfortable with air dashing yet. and dawolf is right, cable can work with psy, and with a lot of success, too. you can pretty much play keep away all day, wait for them to screw up and get hit by psy, then it’s free ahvbs.
but then again, it’s a personal decision. i used mag/cab/psy for a long time, and i tried out mag/cab/cyke because i think he’s better as a character. i didn’t like it because there’s too much dashing around when his assist hits.
Cable/psy is pretty bad. The assist is relatively easy to avoid and very easy to seriously damage. Cyke is a bit tougher, and more annoying since he travels so far and high.
Sent/assist > Cable/psy
Sent/assist ? Cable/Cyke
And Cable is useful for mag since counter calling with cable allows you to rush the other point down without fear of a random assist killing you.
Our opinions and personal preferences don’t matter much, when compared to what years of high level competitive play has proven. And what has it proven exactly? That cykes is one of Cables best assists in the game, while psy isn’t.
one advantage is what when you hit your opponent’s point character with cyke and his assist is out, it’s free damage to the assist. and vice versa when the assist is hit by cyke, it’s more or less a free rushdown to the point character.
also another advantage of cyke against psy is that it gives longer blockstun.
DARKHOKAGE just learn more about the game in general, watch some vids at zachd.com and play what ever team you want to play. If your comfortable with Cable/Psylocke then stick with it and find a way to make it work. Your team is mainly about Storm/Cable and the third character can change according to what your opponent is playing, Cyke and Capcom are great options, you might even want to try Cammy or Ken.
i like using cammy, cuz she locks on the opponent so she can go high or she can go forward. the only bad thing is she doesnt do both at the same time like cap com or cyclops. and it is only one hit so the timing for assist +hailstorm is tighter. but i dont know how to use cyclops or captain commando anyways.
if i knew how to use captain cammando maybe i would use him instead
and cable/psy is good if u learn the timming u can AHVB and psylock will keep the character low so u can pull off AHVB x 3
if you watch the 2.4 ranbats on zachd’s site, megamanDS plays mag/cab/psy and does pretty well with it. i mean, his cable’s nothing like seattle cable, but it did the job.
after messing around a bit, im starting to like storm/cable/cykes… cykes thin beam special takes out and chip and regular damage… just dont know any good combos with him lol
