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

Seth says he’s Marvel’s answer to Zangief, and with three flavours of command throws, he is a grappler.
Just a kinda bad grappler.

Ok I see, so you could make different teams with different themes i guess, makes sense and should allow for some interesting builds i think. Looking forward to the interesting combos people can concoct with the final build.

One think for a strong team is to also work on training your assist only characters as much as possible,since peoples play style with them tend to be rather weak,like Captain Commando and Psylocke.

If UltraDavid is really looking for a team of all grapplers then he’s going to have a hard time in this game.

I know after teh CES event i noticed alot of people using X 23- dante and zero or storm or modok but i mean I didnt touch any of them but X 23

Ultra david was doing pretty good wen he used Thor and she hulk at the CES event he was reall hoping hagger was in the build

Depends if they all have assists that work well together.

There are enough command grab characters with varied enough styles that I don’t think I’ll have a problem building a good team centered around grabbing people. Maybe I’ll have to go 2/3 grappler and pick someone else with an assist that sets up grabs or positioning well, but I don’t think I’ll have to do less than that. And besides, a bunch of the non-grab characters are pretty interesting anyway.

Take some things with a grain of salt. He’s still a shitty grappler, especially if he’s Zangiefs answer.

Oh no, I was not saying you couldn’t be good at the game, make no mistake it was not a comment on your ability as a player, simply questioning the validity of a team based around “grapplers” though if it is command grabs you are looking for as you said, there’s plenty of viability to be had most likely. Grapplers weren’t very strong in MvC2 and I don’t believe they were very strong at any point in the VS series to my limited knowledge of the rest of the VS series, so it will be interesting to see how they turn out.

Phoenix and Doom rocks. Or honestly, any assist that can lock her opponent down so she can teleport above/behind them into a 1/2 life BnB.

you dont want an assist to lock them down when you teleport.

Er, why wouldn’t you?

you want an assist to cover you/cross them up. If they are locked down it doesnt matter which way they block so they can block confirm your direction.

You can still use a lock down assist to go for quick high/low mixup with trijumps, right, or am I mistaken about that?

naw your right, thats what you want for a high low mix up as it gives you a try or 2 for free to open them up or get pushed back out.

Will this thread turn into a tier list/best teams thread after the game is release? That would be nice. Thought about phoenix and im liking the sound of trish, dorm and phoenix. either that or trish, dorm, ammy.

Wesker is looking like mad untapped potential.

Who knows…who knows.

Those normals canceled into teleport look really fucking ridiculous.

When I read this I thought this “really fucking delicious!”

Alot of sleepin on Wesker and Chris in here. But its ok. Time will tell
