mags/storm/doom.
if theres no cyclops/psylocke assist that can interrupt those doom rocks from coming out then cr.lk+doom rocks to magnetic shockwave DHC to hail storm could be some pretty damaging shit
Dormammu/MODOK seems like it might have some legs to it. I dunno.
Doom’s on my team no matter what because he’s the bestest. Completely unsure of which way I wanna go with the others. If The List is golden, first team I try will probably be something like Sentinel/MODOK/Doom.
Storm and Amaterasu look like they could work beautifully together. I’m interested in how Ammy’s Bloom assist works in tandem with Storm’s runaway, and if runaway is as effective as it was in MvC2, which I doubt. Running away while activating Bloom for meter building = Watered Down MvC2 Storm.
If Bloom isn’t as good, Ice Shots would work well with Storm’s offense, and the best function with this pair would be the full-screen, full-damage DHC between both of them at any time. Awesome.
Add an assisst with a good “get off me” move and we got ourselves a solid team.
A pair where you can transition easily between rushdown or keepaway. Sounds good on paper… or text.
all i know is i’m really excited to try out Ryu (sue me, he’s been my favorite since i was 5, and he looks better then he’s been in a long time here), Dante, Deadpool, Trish, Wolverine, X-23, Viper and Spiderman in some form or another. I don’t really play super competatively so i don’t care about top tier teams, i care about fun and doing the coolest looking stuff i can do lol. Storm is also looking super solid as well.
You cant call assists after super jump or being at the tip of the screen so i dunno how that would work.
Calling the assist, super-jumping, and covering with Typhoon? Covering it with Whirlwind on the ground? Still strictly theory fighter, but there could be ways to make it work.
Sounds pointless to me. If I had someone like Wolverine or Deadpool id just slaughter Amaterasu with a free hyper combo everytime she hopped in and you tried to fly to the top of the screen.
God forbid you be against Iron Man, Ryu, Spiderman, Trish, Hulk, Wesker, Morrigan, Magneto or Skrull. All of them have supers that can get right up there,
Youre not really running away because youre up in the air this time. Storm only needed to run away for meter to be a bitch, she was still capable of rushing down.
Now now, let’s not take theory fighting too literal. I’m not into the whole “if I do X and you do Y, then I’ll just do Z”. Whether you like it or not, meter-charging assists could have good use, and I think I have the benefit of the unknown when it comes to the question of if they have any viability.
Besides, Storm could just Double Typhoon in the air if you attempted to punish Ammy. lol.
I got one, team (you)MAD? modok/arthur/ dorm-d.pooly-doom.
M.O.D.O.K being assisted by Trish traps and aegis shields seems godlike on defense.
You could position yourself in a way where you sandwich yourself under a trish aerial trap or in front of a ground Trish trap and behind a aegis shield and you are virtually untouchable to rushdown or any antics for that matter outside of random hypers.
Add in Dormammu and his Blackheart-esque Purification assists and you basically control every space on the screen from a defensive and offensive perspective.
Also if you can place a shield and ground Trish trap, you still have a sick frontline defense. If they break the shield they still gotta worry about the trap.
M.O.D.O.K could also hover around a ground or aerial trap as bait while still being able to annoy by firing laser & analyze cubes lol
Dr Doom with his straight up missile assist could also work in place of Dormammu. Now you got rockets that track while raining down terror as you sit on your lazyboy behind Traps and shields.
I’m theorizing Viper with a trap assist character to make her 8 way dash mix ups better. If Viper has Seismo as an assist it could help the trap character if they are controlling the air and Viper is controlling the ground with Seismo’s. Doom, Dormamu, or Trish seem ideal at this point but Trish seems like the best trap character in MVC3. Doom rocks or missiles are okay but I don’t think Doom stands on his own in comparison to Trish. I don’t know enough about Dormamu to comment on him but he seems like an interesting choice. I really hope Hsien-Ko is in the game as a trap based character since she was somewhat like that in Night Warriors but who knows if she’s in it or how she’ll play.
Past that initial idea I’m not sure who else would fit that team though I was considering X-23 or Dante. Any ideas?
Dante seems to have a place on any team with his Hysteric and Jam Session assists. He can lock em down or keep em out, and with Doom he can play like a more basic Strider. I hope Spidey’s web ball is better for zoning and has a decent trap time on hit. He’s on my team no matter what.
I’d like to experiment with Deadpool, but I know nothing about his assists.
I’ve got this excessive yearning in beginning with Wolverine on point, with Deadpool/Doom and seeing how the homogeneity goes from there.Theoretically the team is capable of both rushing and playing decent keepaway if need be. Second team is definitely going to involve Spidey in one form or the other.
I’m actually thinking the same thing, but Dormammu instead of Doom. MODOK’s shield really is the perfect fit for Dorm, since his only weakness is beamers and rushdown, and all of his specials are non-linear.
With Viper and Storm being accurate, I’m theorizing that the leaked list is on point, and Sentinel is in again.
MSS all over again.
keep away/projectile characters…take your pick out of Chris, Deadpool, Doom, Trish, Arthur, Dormammu, Storm, Modok, Ryu (lol), Iron Man and Ameterasu (rosary mode).
If Sentinel IS actually in the game, then how about Santhrax 2.0: Storm/Sentinel/Dante.
Viper/Trish/Doom is going to be mean as hell, too.
I want to play with Viper on point with Doom (rocks) and X-23 (ankle slicer). Seems like Viper should be able to magic > call Doom > Knuckle/Seismo > feint > repeat from the beginning while the rocks are still hitting, and if the opponent blocks you could switch it up and go into a quick mix up with X-23 hitting low, Viper Elbow/tri-dash hitting high or maybe even Burning Kick for a cross up (if possible)
X-23/Deadpool/Spencer - Team Rush
Captain America/Spider-man/Felicia - Team Crossup
Arthur/MODOK/Shulkie - Team Just Because, Dammit.
I gotta work C. Viper in somewhere, too. And maybe Shuma and Jilliams, if I get the CE. I’m looking at my teams and I already don’t like 'em haha, too off the cuff perhaps.
Ryu’s DP, Dorms Corridor, Ammy’s Ice Shards, and Mebbe Seismos seem like they might work against Doom rocks.
