After tonight…Chun/Trish looks UGLY.
So does freakin’ chun/storm.
I’m begrudgingly beginning to think rushdown guys are going to need a zoning/keepaway teammate or two to really be effective.
This is fine IMO. Rushdown never really did come easy in MvC2 and it shouldn’t come easy here.
Thank God for Deadpool!
You shouldn’t be punished right off the bat for wanting to pilot a rushdown team.
For serious. He was going to be on my team by default.
Wong had a serious showing with Chun’s Leg assist against Marn. Pure lockdown and mixups.
So Deadpool/Chun/(Complimentary Character Here) just looks stupidly top-tier at this point.
Straight forward approach will be punished. X-23, Wesker and C. Viper all seem to have excellent zoning piercing rushdown. Just the straightforward rushdown approach in trouble.
Not sure if this would work (haven’t actually got my hands on it) or if this has been touched upon: So, after seeing Kata-Kun’s assist list (thanks!) I thought it was time to start thinking of team possibilities. It says Dormammu has his Liberation move as an assist and M.O.D.O.K. has his Aegis Barrier. Well, in a video it shows that powering up Dormammu’s Power of the Creator 3 times leaves an opponent unable to jump. Also, the only way it seems to get around M.O.D.O.K’s barrier is to jump. Perhaps, you see where I’m going with this? What if you would charge Dormammu’s Power of the Creator 3 times tag him out and spam that assist while having M.O.D.O.K. spam his barrier and projectiles? I’m still unsure myself since I actually haven’t got my hands on it. What do you all think?
Marn did fine last night without any keep away characters.
Liberation, even used as an assist, takes Dormammu’s charges back to base, so you cannot “spam” the assist. You would have to get him three charges, swap out, assist, and then swap him back in to build charges again once the debuff wears off.
Anyway, I am thinking of a beam team: Dormammu/MODOK/Ryu - maybe Akuma, or Megaman if we are so lucky. Dorm uses MODOK’s shield and Ryu’s shoryuken for keepaway, Ryu uses Dorm’s dark portal to help his approach, but can also use MODOK’s shield to help him have the upper hand on approach (seeing as you can move through it), and MODOK uses Dormammu’s portal for extra pressure combined with Ryu’s anti-air. When your opponent calls any assist, catch it with a THC triple beam.
modok…chun kick assist
trish doom wesker will be strong… bet it
Chun/Ammy/Storm
Ammy/Wesker/Storm
Thoughts?
I want to design a team around hulk. He won’t need an Anti-Air assist being that his overhead smash has super armor and starts his combos he wants the enemies to jump in. He’ll need assists that help him get close to his opponent and something that will overwhelm the enemies in when he gets there.
I was thinking Iron-Man’s anti-air would set up hulk nicely with juggles once he got in.
(alternates Skrulls tenderizer, dante corridor, chun li lightning kicks, ammy’s ice, trons drill)
And i need an assist to help me get in… I hear caps shield is nice, use that with gamma waves could really catch some trap characters off guard, hit them a few times to throw off rhythm then get in there w/ that iron man assist.
Hulk would have an anti-air assist to help iron man relieve any pressure as well as captain america. Captain will use iron mans assist for juggles and landing safe charging stars.
Hulk
Iron-Man
Captain A
AVENGERS
Pro’s
Tons of health
Hulk = Most health
Captain = top 4 health
Iron man = average health
With proper switching and the nature of more red health in this game you could potentially have double health of a low health team (ammy, x-23, pheonix, chun li)
Heavy damage potential from Hulk makes a huge threat, especially since he can get in and is willing t trade gamma waves w/ any character (health).
Iron Man assist can keep pressure (lack of push block) for hulk and captain america, Hulk AA can allow iron man + captain america shield to zone non projectile enemies by reliving pressure with AA.
Weakness:
Captain America on point means he has two anti-air assists, so unless he’s willing to trade projectiles with shield slash he might take some damage trying to get in.
V.Joe/C.Viper/?
That’s where I am at the moment, anyway.
edit: Would like Wesker, but I think Tron is a better choice.
I really want a MODOK/arthur team for shield assist+ projectile lockdown but I have NO idea who to pick for a third teammate. Should I go with a rushdown character to be on point, or another lockdown character for an all trap team?
I’m planning on using Doom when I’m making this team myself.
