I tried using it for a bit to be cool like Adelheid, but it’s truly horrible outside of combos. You’ll land it randomly here and there, but zipline is much better as an unexpected calculated call imo.
Like most other wall bounce assists, it’s good primarily for extending other chadrcters’ combos

How does Spencer do with Vajra assist?
Currently testing out Spencer/Vergil/Strider. Would I be better off replacing Strider with a better horizontal assist?
I tried him out with Strider for a little bit, but ended up dropping the idea pretty quickly for a few reasons:
-Spencer using his OTG grapple to convert off of Vajra has a few drawbacks. Mainly, you end up wasting his wall bounce really early which will limit the dmg you put out in that combo. And it can also be tricky when your midscreen to even convert into a full combo after Vajra -> OTG grapple -> zip DF -> etc.
-Vajra wont cover spencer’s zip lines like arrows/beam assists will. Your opponent has a lot more opportunity to air throw you if you start using zipline to get in.
Horizontal assists on the other hand, make it much more difficult to be air thrown out of an air forward or d/f zip. Faster beam assists like hawkeye arrows or mag’s projectile also help Spencer convert to full combos off of a zip line hit.
Can anyone direct me to some Spencer/Sentinel stuff like command grab setups and combo extensions?
Finally! Someone who is seasoned at using Chris/Spencer.
I’ve currently decided to make an “online only team” due to lag and such. (I intend to play my regular teams offline though).
Anyways, my team currently consists of Chris, (grenade toss)/Spencer (horizontal slant shot)/ ???
I can’t decide who would be a good anchor aside from Sentinel. I’d like an anchor who can actually handle himself and benefit the rest of my team.
Any thoughts? =/
Why make an online only team? At least make it a secondary team and treat it as such. Don’t go and get worse at the game!
Anyway, How bout Task w/ parabolic arrows?

chris/spencer is actually a popular duo (atleast from what i remember when i played chris) …i think youre using the wrong assists though…while grenade toss can help spencer extend combos, machine gun would probably suit him better help initiate offense
as for the spencer assist, that one can be a toss up really, they both have they’re uses, but i personally used the slant shot just to continue combos…but its all preferance there
you should look up GCYoshi on youtube, very solid chris/spencer/sent player
Anyone find any uvg setups with plasma beam assist yet? I’d love to use it in place of Missles in some matchups, but i miss dat damage! If not, I’ll look for some tonight, I have a few ideas…

Eh, I guess you’re right. It’s my “secondary” team then. It’s just so much easier to perform Spencer/Chris combos online.
I guess I should have specified.
Out of these characters: Akuma, Ammy, Strider, Dorm, Hawkeye, Felicia, Magnus, maybe Dante.
Which one would suit Spencer/Chris better? Can Strider’s vajra extend Chris’s or Spencer’s combos? Can Hawkeye or Magnus’s beam extend Chris’s or Spencer’s combos?
Just little questions like that I’m really curious about.
I really want to be able to extend combos with both slant and grenade toss. I’m hoping that the anchor’s assist can help me get in while at the same time extending combos. That’s the ideal situation for me.
I did look him up, he has some sick Chris combos using Sent and Spencer’s assists. I just really don’t want to use Sent.
Oh wow, just realized you weren’t using guns assist. Choose a character with lock down or beam, if you wanna keep the mine. Hawkeye, mags, or Ammy maybe?
Sent from my Galactus.
I was originally thinking Hawkeye.
But question is. Can any of these beam/lockdown assists extend my combos? Can Hawkeye’s arrows extend anything, or can Magnus’s beam, Ammy’s cold star?
I’m well aware that I need some type of lockdown assist. I want to choose the character that has one and can extend my combos with it (if possible).
I know for a fact cold Star can, during the early stages of a combo. This is a dilemma I’m currently facing with Doom Missles vs. Beam. Sometimes the ability to safely land a hit at all > thats what i like to call big damage…

Doom missiles is too good for spencer, 2 UVG’s for free, 1 million herp derp corner combos for one bar
Hey guys, currently using Joe/Ammy/Hawkeye, but was brainstorming ways to cheapify my team a bit.
Does anybody use the Spencer/Joe bomb infinite? I was thinking of going with Spencer/Joe (bomb)/Ammy (ice). One problem with my current team is that it lacks one-touch kills. This way I would have a one-touch meatshield up front, my best character 2nd, and a good assist/anchor in the back.
I guess another question is, does Spencer function well with Cold Star and no beam assist?
Edit:
Here’s the infinite in case anyone is curious.

I’m a Wolvie player looking to pick up Spencer as 2nd character for combo extensions / incoming mixups. Aside from Drones and Missiles and maybe Tatsu, are there any good assists/anchors that I could match up with them? Could I get away with like Taskmaster parabolic arrows?
You don’t need a beam assist. I use Spencer second with just hidden missiles but beams do help Spencer get in safely.
Has anyone ever discovered a use for any of Spencer’s assists for Morrigan?
Question about Doom Assist for a Spencer/Vergil team:
What is the ideal assist for this team assuming I have rapid slash?
Is Rapid slash function as a good enough horizontal cover assist for me to use missles?
Does Plasma beam scale the combo too much for ToDs?
What order should I run the team?
How strong are missles for incoming mixup tricks w/ spencer on point?
Thanks!
Rapid slash isn’t as good as beam assist imo. I don’t think scaling is much of a problem for spencer’s TOD, as he does a lot of unscaled damage. i’ve run that same team with missiles and rapid slash for fun. You get ez uvgs, but not having a good horizontal assist slows down spencer’s offence quite a bit.
:eek: You are looking for Mr. Mike Haggar, good sir.
