Teams that are "looking" strong thus far..(strictly theory fighting)

Wesker/Chun/(Complimentary) seems strong in theory.

Lockdown with Chun, mixup with Wesker (who hits stupid hard so successful mixups are big damage). Been planning on rolling with them for a while. Seeing LLegs assist last night on the stream just adds fuel to the fire.

Trish, perhaps…

waits for jwong to use viper instead of trish

Well, I’d go with what lordvaati and del1rium said and go with a trap team using Trish or Doom.

Personally, I’d use Trish, but Doom’s assist doesn’t sound like a bad idea at all.

Justin said he was switching Trish out for Phoenix last night.

You could amost feel his disappointment over the stream when he found out she wasn’t selectable.

Do you theory fighters things skrull and magneto would work well together? It seems almost like mag would work well with anyone. I want to create a good rushdown team, I would really like spencer for a third but NOBODY ever uses him so i know virtually nothing about him. But i love Hazama from BB and hope he’s similar.

Him desperately searching the select screen for her was one of the highlights of the stream >>

YEs, that’s a little mean :smiley:

If you wanna go for a rushdown team, you’d be better off going for some faster character than Skrull. Magneto is very mobile, Skrull not so much. Spencer we have yet to see just how mobile he can be, but I don’t think he’ll be as fast as Hazama… Why not think about Magneto/Wesker/Spencer? Wesker has teleport shenanigans and is more mobile than Skrull, but he can still pile on the damage.

Meaner considering before the event Capcom basically said she was going to be there =/

Thoughts on using Spencer grapple assist and maybe Morrigan or Dante’s AA assist to support uh… CapAm maybe? Trying to build a team with the first and last I think.

Things to consider

-Phoenix HAS to start, if she gets 5 bars for starting thats huge… Basically if you want to play as DP your sitting on those 5 bars unless Phoenix kills a member otherwise she’s a instant battery for certain characters and teams.

-If Phoenix is killed as a assist character and the character on point has five bars will she change to DP if so, will she give that knock back that she does on point after her transformation?

-Is it worth risking using healing to keep phoenix in game? The only way I can see this viable is if it recovers past red life.

  • Timer on DP, I think I heard seth mention you only have a certain amount of time as DP, does that mean once the timer is up you revert or does it mean you die?

-If you revert do you keep the red, and can you tag out to get the health back

as others have said the 5 bars is almost certainly a training option, time is set to infinite in that clip as well.

-I wanna know the assist thing too, its a big deal kinda, especially with the burst >

-I think he just meant the health degeneration not a literal timer >>

Too many teams I wanna try
iron man/wesker/hulk
Dante/dorrummau/modok

I like that team but idk about capt on point. Maybe mag storm or spidey.

Shit…after last night…I just dont know.

Dormammu/Chun/Modok…
Storm/Chun/Deadpool

shit…

shakes head in confusion

Wesker is a strong candidate, his assists look awesome too. If spencer Is a bust Zero is looking crazy too, dante seems to have a reasonable rushdown.

Zero and Dante are definitely good options as well. Dante is real versatile, has a great assist with Jam Session and overall seems to be good on offense. Zero has some great combo’s but his health is a little on the low side.

Skrull will probably be a good rushdown support character. He’s got that upward punching assist that can make it difficult for opponents to jump out of corner pressure situations.

Do you guys think Viewtiful Joe/Dante/Magneto could work? What other characters go with Viewtiful Joe/Dante?

Someone that has an assist that helps Joe and Dante get in better like Doom, Chun etc.
