Why would you need a projectile for mixups. Samurai edge does hit low and OTG. And not all characters need an AA assist if they have tools themselves (Wesker’s E looks good) Power Dunk would be a fine AA in that case. Covers above and front
I love how Wesker can get in/out of anything lol
Thor would have trouble closing space without one.
Wesker just works 10x better than what Thor & Magneto have to offer if he has a slow projectile… Think Strider/Doom or Strider/Sentinel.
Magneto gets Anti Aired for free himself without an AA or projectile on his side eo help him close space.
Thats like having MSP without the S or the P lol
One of the three has to go in Magneto Wesker Thor. Probably Thor cause he really doesn’t benefit from Magneto or Wesker assists. Only option Thor has is if Magneto does Magnetic Tempest and DHCs Thor in with Thornado or shockwave then what?
It seems to me like Magneto is the out-of-place one, actually. He doesn’t add anything to Wesker’s game, and Wesker doesn’t add much to his. On the other hand, Thor’s power dunk/strike combined with the Samurai Edge assist seems useful, as does Wesker rushdown with Thor on assist. Then again, that’s just my theory-craft take on things. I do agree that a slow, delayed, or sustained projectile assist would help, though. I suggested Ammy in my previous post, as well as Dormammu. I could also see Arthur, Chun, Chris, or the obvious Doom working too, though each would bring somewhat more or less to the team overall than the others.
Wesker adds alot to Magneto’s game though.
Wesker is basically Magneto’s Psylocke on the team. He adds unblockable set ups with his low hitting samurai edge shot as well as OTGs.
It would probably be possible to…
??? > Grounded Gravitation > Magnetic Tempest > KFC > LK > Launcher > magic series > ground knockdown > call wesker for otg > hyper gravitation > Magnetic Tempest
Not to mention Tri Jumps with Wesker’s low shot = unblockable’s
Magnetos EM disrupter is good enough to hold people in place for Wesker teleport shenanigans but mainly Wesker should be 3rd in the line up since hes the utility to extend combos. Now the 2nd slot needs either an AA, slow projectile, as well as damaging DHC ability.
Magneto - ??? - Albert Wesker
Me personally I’d put Amaterasu 2nd. Her jumping ice assist lasts awhile as a projectile and prevents regular jumpins as well as give you her elemental DHC from magnetic tempest or shockwave.
Plus it helps Wesker & Magneto rushdown as well by holdin them in plaee
How does Amaterasu’s slowdown super work? How is it different from Viewtiful Joe’s?
I could see the slowdown super being effective in combination with a rush down based character but I don’t like the team composition of Joe and Amaterasu even though it’s pretty obvious Capcom designed the two to work with each other.
I think Wesker/Viper/X-23 would only work if the assists between the 3 work well with each other or help cover each character’s weakness. It seems like a good trap team would hard counter this team, imo.
Joe’s effects said character and Ammy effects the field.
Ammy only effects the opponent’s character that is on the field, right? Meaning if they tag out the new character that pops in doesn’t get effected, correct? I guess I should go read the Amaterasu thread.
No it affects the field, switch outs don’t help.
I don’t doubt that you have to finish Joe’s (though I’d think you could DHC right as he applied the final hit and it might work), but Ammy’s is just a quick howl that pops the effect onto the stage. Did you also test hers?
Arthur/MODOK/Deadpool: Team Shitalloverthescreen.
i like dorm with black hole assist instead of deadpool for arthur
Psylocke/Cammy/Jill is looking pretty sweet if you ask me.
Keep dreaming.
Few teams I want to try:
Arthur/Ammy/Doom - Keep away. All day. Either Doom missiles or rocks.
Zero/Ammy/Doom - Point Zero with Cold Star & Molecular Shield for crazy dash through mix-ups.
Zero/Spidey/Ammy - Two solid rushdown style characters with Cold Star backing them up.
As an aside, I can see some serious shenanigans if you can DHC out of Wesker’s counter hyper. That is, assuming it’s as decent as it looks and is actually active on the first frame. Could be a great anti-rushdown tool.
I appreciate the honest theories for the Wesker/Thor/Magneto team. Juding from all the comments about that team it sounds like they are an odd fit but have great potential.
Seeing as she has a meter building move and a low hitting assist, I wonder if Felicia would work well with Viper as a battery/assist. Feed Viper’s EX’s then use that low hitting rolling buckler assist with Viper’s tri-jumps for an unblockable setup.
This. Right now I’m thinking about a (some speculation involved) felicia/buckler, viper/seismo, modok/aegis team.
Expect many salty tears from me if we ever square off and you’re running these guys. Keepaway gaems.
Ryu/Thor/Haggar looks pretty prime
OH WAIT
