If Viper has burn kick as an assist, I think she’ll work extremely well as a Psylocke-AAA of some sort. I also think Viper/Wesker/X-23 will do wonders. Teleport mixups + Burn kick mixups with X-23 loop setups?
Wesker/Thor/Ammy
Potential subs for Wesker: Skrull - Viper - Spencer
Potential subs for Ammy: Storm - Dormammu - Trish
No matter what, I’m playing Thor. More than that, though, I think he’s got some potential to be really devastating. Like a grappler, he’s got that “death-touch” thing going for him, but unlike a grappler, he’s got a fair variety of tools to work with (plus I’m expecting some new stuff from what we’ve seen in the build so far). So I’m trying to build a team around the idea (sort of a Team Z kind of thing, but not exactly).
The way I see it, Wesker on point has a good shot at getting in on just about anyone, including MODOK/Trish/etc. teams, and he’ll have two great assists backing him up in cold stars and power dunk (or whatever it’s called). From there, Wesker can get Thor in off a DHC or air exchange for some big damage.
Ammy’s elements hyper is a great backup for punishment or covering someone’s ass with a DHC, and her slow hyper (DHC’ed into Thor) could bring the opponent down to Thor’s speed. Cold Stars and Samurai Edge seem like good backups for Thor when he’s on point, and Ammy on point can DHC into either of the other two for good damage.
I don’t feel like I really know enough about what things will look like (or even the current assists list) to get a good feel for how this will actually work, but I see Wesker being potentially replaceable by Spencer if his grab game is as good as Seth says it is, or maybe Skrull or Viper for their unorthodox rushdown abilities. Ammy could also maybe be replaced by Storm for the same purposes, though she lacks some of Ammy’s versatility, or maybe Dorm or Trish for obvious reasons.
Comments welcome!
So im not the only one seeing Wesker and Viper raping together. X23 looks like she would be the best third addition for the team but i really hope someone else works better because i dont wannt play her.
Do any of you guys think Viewtiful Joe/Dante/Magneto would have any synergy? At the very least, who can possibly fit in a Viewtiful Joe/Dante/xxx team?
Something I’ve just been thinking about… You think it’ll be possible to combo into a “slow” super and then DHC straight out? As you switch characters, it would theoretically give you more time for follow-up combos after the DHC ends that would otherwise be impossible, as well as use slow with your new point character…
Assuming Joes on point and Dante is on anti air… any kind of projectile or low hitting assists would do wonders for Joes mix up game…
Captain Americas shield throw cause it hits on the way forward and back.

You can’t DHC out of slow, you gotta finish the entire hyper or you won’t get the affect
One of the very things I’ve been contemplating, and am counting on for my Thor/Ammy combo. I figure if you combo into the slow hyper, and then time the DHC to activate just before or just as the frame freeze ends, the slow should be in effect without interrupting the comboability of the next hyper. That’s IN THEORY, but I guess we won’t know till we actually have the game in-hand.
Not entirely sure if I understand what you’re saying, but the slow effect on both Ammy’s and Joe’s hypers remains whether they’re on-screen or not, and I know I’ve seen their slow hypers DHC’ed into, I just can’t remember if I’ve seen them DHC’ed out of.
IDK but your black VJ av is gdlk
And any LVL 1 hyper can be DHCd out of. Even if its 1 frame
can you DHC out of the lady version Weapon X? I thought it didn’t work with canned animations.
My team’s going to be Wesker, Thor, and Magneto.
How strong is that team?
I still think Felicia/MODOK/xxx is gonna be solid. Aegis assist + Felicia’s meter charge move will be difficult for alot of characters to deal with. I know Dorm, Wesker and Dante will have ways around it via teleports and that black hole, but still there’s a significant amount of the cast who will be forced to close in on her while she’s hiding behind the shield charging meter.
I bet u can. Look at Max Spidey
Really, how we gonna know without spewing bull
Well it doesn’t have a good assist that helps Thor, Magneto, nor Wesker rushdown neither getting people of them.
I don’t understand this post or how you got that information. O_o
I’m saying if you hit someone with Viewtiful Joes slow and try to DHC into your 2nd characters hyper you won’t get the slow status. Viewtiful Joe’s slow hyper is a one shot deal. Its gotta play all the way out to work.
You cant
Slow > DHC > = no slow status on opponent
You can only
Hyper > DHC > Slow > slow status on opponent
You tested this? Theoretically slow status is applied before the hyper ends…

You might be right though…
Basically you have no Anti Air or slow moving projectile assist to help mix ups
Weskers shot to the foot assist if it hits low could possibly lead to unblockables with Magnetos triangle jumps as well as lead to OTGs thoough.
Thors Might Strike could also help either Magneto or Wesker with teleport or rushdown shenanigans by holding them in place.
Problem is you are anticipating that you can stay on top of characters consistently. With no anti air, they could take to the skies away from you, easier than you can rush them down especially if they have an anti air and you dont.
Yeah, I tried it on two occasions . Slow won’t be tagged on to the opponent unless you finish the entire hyper. It would be too godlike if everyone just slowed someone down and DHC’d Joe out.
Okay, thanks for clarifying that theory for me.
