So Im running Nova (Centurion) / Vergil (Rapid Slash) / Ammy ( Cold Star)
Ammy in XF Lvl 3 is amazing. Great comeback factor. The nerf to her Air Dash isnt to severe in my opinion as I can use i now to bait out ful screen beams. Unintentional buff maybe ?? lol. But Ammy Helps lock down or keep people off me when Im using Nova. And sets up good teleport mix ups with Vergil. Pretty cool and fun team to play.
hey guys id like some feedback on my teams.
1st team is zero (handageki)/vergil(rapid slash)/amaterasu (cold star)
2nd team at the moment is dante (jam session)/amaterasu (cold star)/strider (vajra)
team 1 has amazing dhc synergy, rekkoha + dimension slash + okami shuffle all dhc very well, and sougenmu, devil trigger/spiral swords/, and veil of mist provide safe switches. zero builds meter which vergil wrecks shit with, and lvl 3 xfactor amaterasu is awesome. also cold star helps lock down for zero/vergil mixups, and both assists help zero extend combos.
team 2 dante builds meter and uses cold star assist and vajra to help open up the opponent. and both amaterasu and strider are good with x factor.
the one problem i think i have is that all my characters are low health low damage. if anyone has any suggestions or sees any glaring weaknesses let me know plz. im trying to build a competitive team while including the characters i like so hopefully i wont have to swap out the characters too much.
sup dog pound, I’d like to know who would fit well in my team
I play Ammy on point and usually Chun-li and Morrigan but it doesnt seem to work too well
any advice?
Well I personally prefer your second team, but Id switch up the order and put strider in the middle since strider gains more from cold star than ammy from vajra. Other than that, the team looks solid, sure you have extremely low health, but you have a shit ton of options. I mean your team literally has no bad match-ups and all 3 characters can handle pretty much any situation and can all be played in every position. Honestly I think that is an exceptionally solid team in any order but I think the best is dante/strider/amaterasu.
Team 1 is solid, but i feel there are better assists for vergil that cold star since it doesn’t do much in covering his full screen teleports. But it can work as well.
Well whats your plan with that team? How do your characters take advantage of each others assists and why are you planning on playing those 3? Is it just cause your a fan of those characters or is there a particular reason why your running that team? On paper thats a horrid team imo, morrigan and chun-li were both lower mid at best in vanilla(don’t know bout ultimate yet) so the only real threat on your team is ammy who can be killed extremely easily.
For us to give you advise we need to know where your going with that team.
Well for now it is just a team I chose because I like the characters but I’m not really doing good with them, thats why I want to take it a bit more seriously and have a team that doesnt get destroyed as soon as Ammy dies
looking for a team with preferably a good OTG assist and where DHC’ing into or from Okami Shuffle is useful
Well the good thing about amaterasu is she is very versatile and can be played in pretty much every position. So with that said now we gotta ask what position you wanna play her on? If she is on point I would recommend getting her a nice beam assist like magneto/iron man/dr doom/dr strange. If your looking for a good otg assist there are few better than weskers gun shot, but if your not a fan of wesker as I am she-hulk/deadpool/sentinel(horrid choice, no reason not to pick drones) are a few characters with good otg assists. If your picking an otg assist though id advise finding out that serves multiple purposes like a low hitting otg assist or something.
If your playing ammy second then getting a character with a very fast hyper on point is really good, spencer is a real good partner and you have stark for all the spencer ammy tech.
And if your putting her on anchor then any characters who have really good high low/left right mix-ups and requires an assist that holds the opponent in place for a while will be good. Plus characters like viper, taskmaster and firebrand who have legitimate un-blockables also benefit from cold star since it holds em down long enough to set that shit up.
Depending on how good you are with Chun-Li and Morrigan, Chun/Morrigan/Ammy *isn’t *a bad team. Cold Star can help you with whatever mix-ups you can muster with Chun-Li and Morrigan. Chun-Li is decently fast and so is Morrigan. The problem is the damage output. Chun-Li requires some major execution for a somewhat damaging BnB. Morrigan is better off laying down walls of double Soul Fist in Astral Vision and any damaging combo requires decent amounts of meter. Ammy doesn’t exactly hit hard either, especially alone.
If you want to play Morrigan, that’s fine since I feel she’s pretty legit in this game, provided you can do fly-unfly cancels with her. Someone mentioned Firebrand/Morrigan/Ammy as a really good team in another thread and I’m inclined to agree. Firebrand’s pressure is really strong and builds really good meter with his resets. Calling Morrigan’s Dark Harmonizer assist will skyrocket meter production further for use with the team. Cold Star helps them both apply pressure.
As for Chun-Li, I don’t know much about her. All I know is that she’s definitely better in this game but she requires some serious execution for some not-so-stellar damage. She does have infinites in this game but again, serious execution and it’s hard to set up as well.
Any position for me is fine, even though I prefer having her on point.
I’m definitely better with Morrigan than I am with Chun-li in terms of execution, so I really don’t deal that much damage with her nor do I build much meter
I can’t do the fly-unfly cancels yet but I’ll be working on it with a few of those characters and will give you feedback if I finally find a team that suits me
thanks both of you
My pleasure.
I’m having way more trouble finding a middle character than i should. I know that I want Ammy on point and Sentinel as anchor, but I can’t decide on a middle. I was thinking between Storm, Hulk, and Nemesis but I don’t even know anymore. If anyone could help me decide or give me other suggestions for a mid, it’d be greatly appreciated.
Storm.
There might not be a DHC glitch anymore but their DHCs hit really hard.
Yea storm sent are the original BFF’s and their friendship stood the test of time, storm loves them drones and the thc between the two of them does obscene amounts of damage. Plus if for some reason you have sent on point and storm in the back she gives sent access for full screen spit combos if you have 2 bars available(st. :h:, cr. :h: HSF, hail storm for about 600-700k).
With that said Im sure nemesis might work as well, although obviously I don’t know enough of him to really recommend him for your team. His assists seem just as mediocre as storms though so thats not really a factor.
I run Deadpool (katanarama!)/Amaterasu (cold star)/Dormammu (purification), although I’m trying out using Vergil, Ryu, Storm and Shuma Gorath (team all gods?) in place of Deadpool as other point characters in Ultimate.
I personally think Ammy is best when she’s second on the team, because the cold star assist helps so much with lock down pressure and then when she comes out she has meter for some mist mix-ups or shuffles for a near full screen punish. Also I love her DHC and assist synergy with Dormammu, I think they work really well together for right amounts of keep away and rush down.
I’m trying to find a 3rd for my team and I’m looking for suggestions. I started off running Ammy (cold star)/Vergil (the slash one, too lazy to look it up)/Doom (beam). I’m not a fan of how Vergil plays so I want to replace him. I really like Doom and beam helps Ammy a lot. I feel like Vergil’s assist helped push them away pretty well too. I’m not set on putting her on point, she could go in the second slot too if there’s a good point char her assist could help. I’d like someone somewhat mobile and able to get in. I’m new to mvc so I’m having a hard time telling who would be good and I’m not good enough to just toss someone on my team and really be able to tell results. I tried putting Storm on point but I didn’t really like the way she played. Otherwise I’m really open. Having an assist that could extend combos would be cool, and obviously I need some good DHC ability because Doom doesn’t help much in that aspect. Some other characters I’ve spent some lab time with that I enjoyed were Ryu, Akuma, Dorm, and IF but I worry about Dorm’s mobility. Thanks for any suggestions!
Have you considered… Spencer? Ammy on point with Spencer in the second slot is quite strong with Spencer on either Slant Shot or Armor Piercer assist. And Spencer himself is very mobile, as well as making good use of Doom Beam assist! Really, Ammy and Spencer just have a lot of synergy in general and I would fairly highly recommend Spencer if you’re using Ammy.
You know, I saw a few combo videos recently that had Spencer assists helping Ammy combos and I totally forgot about him. I’ve never tried him at all so I’ll give him a shot tomorrow, thanks!
So after seeing plenty of Starks’ videos of Ammy and Spencer I’d like to ask if Nova’s Nova Strike assist(Wall Bounce) can be a good substitute for Spencers?
I don’t see why not, but why not just hit the lab and try it out though?
Currently not at home right, at my friend’s house lulz, but I should have though about it earlier before posting. Forgive me, I will be on my marry way~
My teams for ammy.
Phoenix Wright(press the witness)/ammy(Cold star)/Morrigan(meter build)
Chun(LL)/Ammy(Cold Star)/Morrigan(Meter build)
Let me explain team vanilla reverse( yes, I call them that. It’s my vanilla but in reverse). Anyways… let tell you what they do.
Phoenix Wright: My plan is to actually go toe to toe with you and fight. I only try to grab evidence when I know I can get some. so, I grab it after finishing a basic combo, team hyper, or when someone comes in after I get one kill. If everything works out, I’ll try to combo into turnabout mode and tag Wright out.
Ammy: Well she protects Phoenix along with Maya as he gather evidence and with Morrigan she helps create nasty lockdown and mix up. And by herself…well I’m trying to learn combos, but I got a pretty solid zoning game with her.
Morrigan: Well with Mr.Wright( In turnabout mode), I’ll call his assist and do astral vision along with fireballs all over the place all day. With Ammy I try to open my oppoents up and land some combos with the cold assist.
Ok the next one is my all female team. Still thinking of a name atm.
Chun: She can basically handle herself, but can make some noise with Ammy backing her with cold star and Morrigan giving her meter while she makes it with her awesome combos.
Ammy: Same idea as team reverse vanilla.
Morrigan: Same idea as well.
What do you guys think?
