Dante is gunna be strong in any team. His AAA assist is godlike, and the sheer amount of moves to be used and discovered will make him able to adapt to things very quickly.
I personally believe that everyone will be competitive on point, some just may need assists to cover weaknesses. Thor could use a Doom’s assist to get up in on people and deal dat damage, for example. But that’s just a moot point.
Zero/Doom/Viper
Wesker/Hulk/Iron Man
Mags/Storm/Dorm
Felicia/Doom
I thought I said X-23 and Samurai Edge already
Team Big Bad Mother Fuckers (BBMF) is an epic theory team. BBMFs=Thor/Hulk/Tron. Having thor doing a shit load of mixups along with Hulk’s overwhelming strength and Tron’s flamthrower/rock assist makes some bad ass combos that thor can do. Also lightning tornado DHC into Gamma Crush must be death’s tool of despair.
I can imagine Chun-li/X-23/Viper working well too.
Now this right here is a bit of a stretch. There were other great assists that really boosted characters and/or covered their weakpoints in mvc2.
I thought he was saying that Doom rocks is the only good assist in MvC3 and it came from MvC2??
If not is he seriously saying that’s the only great assist in MvC2??? Whoa
Storm/Trish/MODOK
As of now, I’m thinking on this…
@MOB- He was.
Meeeeehhhh on the assists. All of them thus far seem to be useful, but none so far seem to be great. Then again, we don’t really know what ‘great’ is in MvC3 yet in relation to helping characters. For all we know, Thor would be meh, but when coupled with Chris’ grenade he could end up being God tier. When exactly was Trons assist discovered to be exploitable enough to make most any character on point worthwhile? This time around, I don’t think AAA’s will end up being the general criteria for being a great assist. I believe there will be variety.
Or I could be totally wrong. Won’t know till we get the game! 
Zero/Tron/Ammy.
Not sure if they’re good together, but it’s who I’m using.
Im saying the doom rocks from MvC3 is the only assist that is on level with some of the assists on MvC2. I just worded it funny.
I will admit, perhaps even thats a stretch- but the point I am making is even though assists may be better than they were in TvC, I don’t think they are as good and will be as important as they were in MvC2.
From where Im standing, I would rather put out 3 strong point characters rather than let any assist come into the equation. Theres no assist at the moment that makes me think “yeh these two/three have to go together.”
They way assist works in this game I can’t see another spiral/sent trap or a single assist shifting certain characters up and down the tiers yet.
I can’t speak for every character, but in mvc2 Tron’s drill assist was great. You could do all sorts of stuff with it when paired up with say…morrigan(who was a lower tier character in mvc2). Hopefully it is just as useful in mvc3.
This thread has great examples.
Viewtiful Joe/Amaterasu/C.Viper
I think Viper’s seismo’s and Amaterasu’s ice balls will be one hell of a bitch to handle with VJoe’s rushdown game, plus they all look awesome.
I dunno if it’ll work, but theoretically I’m hoping for it until I can actually play the game. I’ve been settled with Viewtiful Ammy and looking for a third and it may just be Viperful Ammy in the end.
Any thoughts?
I’m glad there are very posts on SRK about designing good teams for mvc2\mvc3. That shit is an art form.
upper leg son!
Those who know why teams work together will have an advantage immediately. Good luck catching up on the last 10 years of that knowledge!
Agreed, deffinately. On the contrary however, I think Marvel players are initially going to aproach this game as if it was MvC2, which might not necesarily be the right way to aproach the game, in terms of both team synergy and overall strategy. So while they’ll deffinately have an edge, I think the way new players aproach the game will be, for lack of better words, unbiased and give them a fresh egde also… For a little while…
I don’t have the veteran knowledge necessary to form a good team just by looking, but my initial team is gonna be Dante/Deadpool/Wesker. Dante has a good assist with that electric pillar thing, I think Deadpool and Dante can do pretty well laying on the damage with their gun supers DHCing into one another…I haven’t seen much of Wesker, but I just like him =P
I also want to make a team with Thor on it, he’s pretty cool. The Mighty Smash assist looks like it does pretty well, and the thunder pillar super looks hot too. I also think that Dormammu’s black hole assist is gonna be pretty nice, it covers like 3/4ths of the screen from the looks of it. Every video I see makes Super Skrull look beastly as well so he might get a spot on a team if my initial one doesn’t work out. The roster is so much smaller than last time, but I’ll be damned if there aren’t some pretty sick characters on it.
That’s what I was thinking too, not as much as a way to get in but a way to keep the opponent grounded if Ammy can get in there without being punished.
the capcom characters as of now seem MUCH stronger than the marvel characters.
Maybe its pay back…I dunno. But the marvel characters just seem like scaled down version of previous version of themself. The new marvel characters seem stronger tho. Dorm, she hulk and modok…And thats prob because they didn’t have any restrictions or moves that felt they had to include or use, they could use whatever they wanted. Every single marvel characters in this game that has been in a previous VS or capcom game seems to have been nerf, outside of spiderman and hulk.
anyway this game will prob be called capcom, if mvc2 was called marvel.
characters with made potential imo
chun, viper, Spencer, Arther, morrgian, zero, spiderman, dorm
If I had to guess I think they feel like they can take more liberties with capcom characters. they only capcom character that plays alot like a previous one is ryu. Everyone else has serious buff or revisions.
team thats look top right now
rush down…
chun, Morrgain or zero, viper, dante
keep away
storm Arthur dorm ,
I thought of this since launch. Capcom is really going obscure/creative while marvel is just going with big names
And no Wesker, Ammy, or X in your rushdown?
Is it cuz of his weirded blockstrings?
assists may be more marvel-like but they still work like TVC assists (non-spammable) so it might be best to think about both games while putting together teams.
I’ll want to see a list of assists before I go making any theories here.
Arthur, doom, iron man. Just my sort of shit flying everywhere as i run away sort of team
huzzah
also rad/chris/thor might be reallt suprising
