OK, ok. Aperrantly there is the majoraty of people in this thread that don’t understand the basics of creating a team. In order to create a team, you have to have actual data on characters. The reason I chose the teams that I did is because deadpool has a strong zoning game, we have seen this. Espescailly with the tools that capcom gave him. His anti-air is bleh (as Kanta said) so i’d choose viper on siesmo to help his anti-airing needs (since it has been shown to hit very far in the air, like CapCorridor). Now an assist to actually help his zoning game would probably be M.O.D.O.K. psionic or Dorm black hole.
You don’t choose a random batch of characters and expect them to be good. You have to a account for weaknesses, strategy, ect. What I have seen in this thread is a complete disregard for this concept.
Hell, even before Phoenix was released, i saw:
“Gonna pick Phoenix/blah/blah just to rape faces”, or people literally asking would they be good together without seeing a millisecond of game-play, having a previous game to judge her style, or even knowing that she was in the GAME. This is what needs to stop, account for what their actual strategy would be and actually THEORY FIGHT before choosing characters and saying this team will own, that just isn’t what competitive marvel is about.
I’m going to say Amaterasu. Her and Joe seem like they were made for each other. Her cold stars and mist would help Joe and Dante get in. Also, a full screen punisher from her helps too, and she can zone with her great J.C with the Devout Beads.
Theory fighters, I am a scrub at team composition. Can I get a hand here? I don’t know how well they work together, but I want at least two characters of these three in my team: Morrigan, X-23 and Felicia. Personally I’d love to have all three of them as a team but I’m not sure how they’d synergize. I’d assume as a third I’d want someone that can help me get in, such as Skrull, CapAm, Doom or Trish maybe? I don’t know, any help would be appreciated.
I thought them niggas can find out on their own. :xeye:
But truthfully it’s a hard topic to write a guide on. I mean everyone has a different style and I generally give a fuck about ME. But you can write one and I’ll just credit you
Thats funny to here that. Storm, Phoenix, and Chun sounds almost borderline insane in theory. Chun in kfc mode makes me cringe, and Storm with otg hailstorm madness. Phoenix sounds good on paper but we shall see.
Honestly I think all of the females in this game will be tops for some strange reason. Unless someone counterpicks them with Haggar in which is an 100 % guaranteed loss. The Mayor of Earth has no time for rushdown pregtrap woman types. He has man problems to deal with. ‘n’ like Galactus.
Jokes aside I see these being the most solid so far as being very valuable to the team: Chun, Deadpool, Wolverine, Viper, Wesker(he def needs an assist), X23, Chris(he is a wildcard like Y-1 in TvC), and believe it or not, Thor.
Chun-She seems more solid then evev tvc version. 100 kicks assist is beast, and her triple jump partner exchange gives good synergy to whole cast im betting. We have seen nothing but good things from her.
Deadpool-He might be candidate for having best keepaway in the game. Dude has Contra bullets they dont just go to one point like Cable’s FP normal. They go along with him until he stops shooting. Supers are good and assist arent bad so he will be a force late in the scene.
Wolverine-He is Msh through mvc1 Wolvie all over again. There is no doubt he will keeping players in blockstun and punish mistakes like crazy. Modok, Thor, Tron, Doom, and Dormammu are chars. off the top of my head who will have problems vs Wolvie. He covers the screen entirely to fast for zoning characters to gain momentum properly.
Viper-Yeah. Havent seen any cons yet since shes only in a few vids. But LOL@ her stunning assist with Thunder Knuckle…umm thunder knuk into super punishes assist into Hulk’s Gamma Crush then KFC would be a big fuck u to your opp. assist.
Wesker-Somebody give me your theory on Wesker. All I can say is Wesker will be the ultimate mixup artist.
X23-Ditto as with Wesker. She seems to more pressure oriented. So its a tossup.
Chris-Hmmm I think Chris will be a TOD Character along with Dante in terms of situation, and having lots of meter. Or should I say Chris’ slot on the team will be as an “anchor” so to speak aka game-changer. His damage output is just bananas off the littlest shit or so it seems to me. But if Chris cant land a hit it’ll end bad for his team if he dies. Chris should never ever be point character. He is solely for clutch purposes.
Thor-Thor looks very bad but if you built a team solely on assisting him. He has potential to destroy teams very easily if you play a patient bait-counter-then punish strategy…you should not pressure with Thor he is too sluggish for that. So I think turtling/timeout technique might be his golden ticket to viability. Ammy, Trish, Ryu, and other great projectile assist should be built around helping Thor. If his assist dies then Thor is nothing hes easily garbage by himself. However, since Sent might be coming back teaming him up with Thor sounds like a hellish nightmares for pixies and below average health characters. Sent Drones protects Thor during laggy moves or command grab shenanigans.
Thor/Trish/Sent
Deadpool(keepaway)/Dormammu(assist)/Shuma Gorath(lv 3 user only)
X23/Wesker/Doom or Viper (Wesker and 23 will be a great rushdown squad. Viper will be dead bodies assist like Psylocke haha I wish)
Wolverine/???/Chris (I need a good assist character for wolvie.)
Therein lies my dilemma as well. I initially wanted to start Wolvie on point with Deadpool (quick work) and Dormammu (darkhole or purification) backing him up. But after some after thought, though this team certainly has some capability in competently stopping all styles of play, especially fellow rush down teams it will suffer at the hands of any competent type of zoning. Deadpool’s quick katana slash isnt going to be reaching anybody thats not in turn rushing and Dormammu most likely wont be setting up wolvie for anything truly damaging from what’s been shown. :SIGH:
Both X-23 and Felicia have low hitting assists, which could set up unblockables for Morrigan, since she has a really fast triangle jump and a shit ton of overhead opprotunities with all of her air mobility. You could also couple this with her J.C and Astral Vision for ambigious crossups as well.
Also, Felicia’s Kitty Helper apparently hits overhead, and with X-23’s low hitting assist and Felicia herself you could probably set up some nasty unblockables and mixups. Felicia might also function as a battery since she has a meter charging move. I’d assume X-23 would benefit from Felicia’s low hitting assist with her crazy mixups as well?
I’m not sure how Morrigan would help X-23 and Felicia out though. She has a meter building assist, and Soul Fist might be able to extend combos, but the DP assist is a good AAA if either of those characters lack anti-air capabilities.
Doom rocks are good for getting a lot of rushdown characters in. Amaterasu’s Ice Shots might be of help as well(I’ve only used this assist twice, so I can’t tell you how good it really is).
I’m trying to play around with some characters that could potentially complement Tron. Doom rocks is obvious for safe drilling/Chip, if it works anything like MVC2…I don’t really like Doom that much though playstyle-wise if/when he has to throwdown in the match. I’m interested in Ammy, She-Hulk, Zero and Pool too right now, but, I wonder how they would work with Tron.
Still waiting for all the reveals but Ive been thinking for a while now to have Trish/Wesker/??? for my team. Phoenix at the moment, is looking like the character to fill the gap. Ive barely touched MvC2 so Im pretty much a total noob to Marvel. So for you folks who are experienced and more knowledgeable, in theory how would you think that team would fare?
Is having a team built completely for keep away or rushdown the way to go? Or can having a combination of both be just as good? Thanks for any and all comments in advance.
(I’m a scrub so completely disregard my opinion as you see fit).
I actually heard (I forget where) that Doom’s Plasma Beam assist is looking to be very good. It seems that rocks have been nerfed massively. Perhaps people could find uses for plasma beam assist.
Also, what do you think would be a good Trish-centric team? I’ve been planning on maining her, and I feel like she’d work well with other keepaway characters, but I want to hear other people’s opinions. Perhaps…
Trish
Dormmamu
Doom
Maybe? I feel like, from what I have seen, Doom has been nerfed significantly. Photon Array seems like total garbage to me now. Who else would work good on a Trish-centric team? Maybe Deadpool or Storm?
As of now my team is shaping up to be zero/trish/morrigan
zero on point for battery
trish round trip assist if she has it?
morrigan SRK assist
Also thinking of running wesker/dante/doom
I know everyone talks about the jam session assist but in some random videos ive seen the crystal comes out pretty fast and has a pretty big hitbox…could be used for lockdown purposes? Doom rocks are a must as of now…
feel free to comment and make suggestions to help better my team choices.
I’m still not sold on Chun Li legs being that great of an assist.
Marn was basically just running into it trying to forcefully rush in on Justin and getting looped because of it. People who can take to the air or with even a half decent keepaway probably won’t find it difficult at all to deal with. Plus I don’t think Marn tried to counter call against Justin’s assist even once.
Seeing the early meta game and team dynamics of MVC3 is fun to watch though.
