The MVC3 Assist Guide

yh sorry I haven’t been about to update, thought it would have been a resourceful thread to have ,tbh since it wasn’t stickied I just gave up on it :sweat:

EDIT: since interest has arisen I’ll continue to update, need to add jill and Shuma as stated, and add more subcategories, as mentioned projectile comes to mind, and also lockdown, > sent, ammy, danted, ironman etc, if theirs anything else you’d like to see keep me posted!

also was looking to add this vid to the 1st page from iplaywinner:

wish this site had embed features, a breakdown of practical ways to use an assist, very good

Haggar’s best assist is his Double Lariat
Tron’s fire is good but you can play around it. Definitely the only really troublesome one you mentioned.
Dante has Crystal and Jam Session. Not Jam Crystal lol.
Dr. Dooms Hidden Missiles are pretty easily punished. I’ll give that if you are zoned out or do not have a full screen hyper than they can be very annoying.
Sentinel stays on the screen FOREVER. Punish.

Sure all of those assist are good but they aren’t close to cheap. Plus IMO Dr. Doom, Tron, and Haggar can be liabilities on a team. Snap them in and punish. Not to say they aren’t good characters but they have glaring weaknesses and if your opponent isn’t expecting to have to use them you can take advantage of it.

you should definitely keep up with it, even though it hasnt been stickied, it may get there, this is the best assist thread in my mind. and 70% of marvel is played with assists on the screen, so a stickied assist thread is warranted.

if i was you and i had the time, i would make vids of all the assists in action… like in danger room or something just lil 5-10 sec vids so people could see the assist. preferably doing what it is you state the assist is used for like an unblockable setup or an OTG or for lockdown purposes.

i know its a lot of work to undertake though.

also i would DEFINITELY add a lockdown section for assists. just some that fall into the category in my mind:

ammy coldstar
dante jam session
ironman unibeam
chun lightning legs
doom hidden missiles
sent drones
arthur gold firebottle
hsien ko pendulum
arthur daggers
zero powered up hadengeki (2 fireballs)
skrull punches

etc.etc. some are of course better than others.
