Dante/Wesker/Doom for rocks+teleport mix ups
People are talking about Spidey to some degree, and that’s because he got a new move that completely changes how he plays. It’s pretty exciting. Once the game comes out, the veterans won’t be any more interesting than the new characters.
MODOK/Dormammu/Hulk
MODOK and Dormammu are for keep-away, mostly. Hulk is largely for DHCing into. Dormammu’s Fire Bomb DHCed for Hulk to get right in there and get in that ass; Hulk’s all about the sudden 70%-100% combo, the rush of offense out of the blue from a largely long-range team. So yeah. He’s the burst of offense, nothing more. Hulk really isn’t going to be a great character to keep on point for long. Hopefully MODOK and Dormammu can spam enough safe specials to build that meter. X-Facter almost always saved for Hulk, as well.
Hulk is a way better character to have on point than Dormammu.
What is this 70-100% combo that you speak of? 2 Meter + KFC ?
Your theory fighting isnt making much sense.
I think Ryu’s pretty solid for any position he CAN rush down and he can spam (plus no one talks about him).
chris, dormamu, doom looks solid and lockdown esque
maybe sub doom for trish
the gentlemen look so good.
and lol @ MSS reloaded
He can’t rushdown and his keepaway is pretty sub-par even with the HP fireballs.
ryu was good…til all the other characters joined the game
ryu is there to show you how awesome the other characters are by comparison.
edit: can ryu put more than 1 fireball on screen at a time?
Ryu is all-around, but he isn’t worth it for utility, IMO. So far I’m liking a team of Iron Man, Arthur and Dr. Doom, each play off each other’s strengths fairly well, and they all have assists that can help them all equally. Repulsor works for both of them, as Arthur might be able to do some combo’ing off it easy, since he isn’t the same height as the other characters, and it should be fairly easy for him to single jump combo off it. Dr. Doom’s Molecular shield might not be as good as ground Photon Array for this set up, since full-screen control for Arthur is needed, while Iron Man can use it for combo opportunities, though not as good as MS, it’s a necessary sacrifice. Almost any assist Arthur has can help IM and Doom, as far as I know…
yes
having played the game at atl, don’t sleep on ryu. he won’t be top tier but if you sleep on him you’re gonna lose to him.
Trish/x-23/wesker will probably be my main team. X-23 for the beat down. Trish on point for keep away and then wesker for some mind games.
jack of all trades, master of none.
since sf2
I’m thinking Morrigan/X-23/Doom
Morrigan seems to have fun rushdown and combining her dash that takes her into the air (is there a term for this?) with ankle slicer from X-23 looks to be even more fun. X-23 is more rushdown. I’m sure she likes Morrigan’s AAA. Doom is there for rocks. Depending on how I do with the rest of the cast Doom might be switched out though.
Term is called 8 way air dash. Although Morgz doesn’t have a ground dash like in mvc2.
I like the idea of this team. Doom rocks to get in, use Morrigan’s Astral Vision and combine it with her trijumps plus X-23’s ankle slicer for some nastiness.
Except in vanilla SF4, where he’s the master of fucking everything.
I wanna try either MSW (MSWee) or MSX. Both Wesker and X-23 have the pop that’s reminiscent of Psy IMO. So whichever is faster or has more invincibility is getting my play
Well yeah, shit like [media=youtube]jnWNSr4Ua-c[/media].
Though I too at first thought that seemed really unlikely to happen very often, S-Kill’s demo of him on the recent stream made me more confident in his ridiculous damage potential. As discussed in the Hulk thread (and I do believe S-kill referred to it as a 100% combo):
And yeah, 2 super meters and your KFC for the round is a big price to pay - if you even have to use that much - but the team is meant to be MODOK and Dormammu wittling the other team away from long-range, and then - if need be - Hulk jumps in outta nowhere, eats a few bars of meter perhaps, and takes down an enemy character in 10 seconds. He’s that comeback factor. Maybe he would be better on point at all times, fuck if I (or anyone) knows.
Either way, if Sentinel’s in, bye-bye Dormammu. Get that drone assist for some better Hulk offense.
Felicia/Hulk/Chris…anyone? anyone?
