You did say best team and mentioned cyke so i’m a little confused.
Having cyke to set up your infinite is good bcos Anakaris - having paper armour - is gonna die quick if you use him 2nd as an assist, having cyke as a back up is good and cyke is gonna set up Dhalsims most damaging combos - i.e Yoga strike set ups.
Okay.
Honestly, after playing with Sim a bit more, I find I don’t really “feel” him in this game. So, in that case, who would you recommend on a team with Anakaris and Cyclops? I’ve also found stuff with Gambit and Rouge if either of them could work well there.
If you wanna go tiop tier - then storm
Gambit is good, thanos is pretty good with meter, Rogue is good too - cept’ she has a hard time vs storm run away and fly back sent ( Not sure what level opponents you play vs). Cyke AAA will def. help her rushdown.
Ruby heart is good too - but i’m kinda biased.
Venom-a/Hulk-b/Doom-b
HIT ME WIT SOME KNOWLEDGE i want to make this my scrub killer team
Im trying on a sorta mid-tier only team of Col/Marrow/Tron. Marrow’s proj assist zones out for Col to approach, and tron will keep the enemy blocking. How should Col be played? And anyone have ideas on setting up Col’s launch with this setup, bc most of Col’s moves wont combo into his launch
is there a mag/cable team that doesnt involve sent?
cyke or psy, but cable doesnt work well with psy IMO
been experimenting for awhile, trying to get off team scrub and put some work into getting better and develop some skill with another team.
Anybody got suggestions for a Ruby Heart team? I was thinking of using ironman but i’ve been having trouble playing as him the past few weeks, I really love using CapCom especially that anti-air.
Ruby (anti air)/ Dr Doom (rocks) / CapCom
You could swap CapCom for tron or even storm for Dr Doom.
What team should I make around Zangief? Are there any other Ruby Heart teams I can make?
For Gief he works best IMO with sentinel drones - it lets him do rising air grabs and drones combos for good damage. 3rd character is anyone you like - cable, ironman, hulk, omega red. j360 uses ironman with gief’ occasionally.
With Ruby heart - by other teams you mean non Doom? The rationale is that rocks give Ruby heart a good chipping game novices can work with while getting meter. You can play without Doom he’s just a good starting point.
The strongest teams are based around Doom, Sentinel, ironman, and storm.
You can mix in tron, cyclops, thanos, hulk, war machine, collosus, bison, juggernaut, anakaris and commando and get workable teams.
Thanks
For Gief versus a runaway Storm would it benefit him to have an assist like Blackheart anti-air?
If you had BH then you’d probably be better off going with lariat assist, more to help BH combo with pokes.
If you end up in a 1 v 1 situation chasing storm unless she’s reaaly low life you’ve lost - storm can stay at sj height for a long time and gief can’t do alot. I mean he’s got the worst dash/ mobility in the game.
Lots of teams have a character that lose bad to storm or sent or cable etc… You just have to win those bad match ups earlier in the game with whoever else is on your team. I didn’t mention BH in the earlier post just cos BH doesn’t work with gief’s rising air throw ( aerial russian slam? is the move name) which is probably why you’d be picking gief’ in the first place - those resets.
@ Grand_Sage_Moses
No problem. There’s some Ruby heart combo vids on youtube, not alot of matches though.
thanks for the info, been labbin’ Gief almost everyday trying to find new stuff and I was trying to make a team of Gief (Lariat)/Sent (Drones)/BH (Anti-Air). Maybe I would have Sent 3rd if I wanted to Mecha Gief and tag out into Sent then I would have armor lariat and BH anti air.
Thanks Augmint, sorry it took so long to get back. Really Appreciate it, I just want a team to work on thats like every other team out IE; Sentinel, Storm, Doom, Magneto, PSylocke. I’m okay with using those characters, just not all on the same time haha. Just trying to build something different
Me and a friend have been on a juggernaut kick and we both are forming teams around him, and i came up with Juggernaut(Splash)/Sabretooth(Machine Gun)/Charlie (Flash Kick). I have come to accept that i am probably very unlikely to catch a cable, and storm is questionable. Is there a character i can use to replace Charlie aside from the usual suspects?
EDIT: Nvm i really like that team. Venom(Fang)/Juggernaut(Earthquake)/Ruby Heart(Anchor) is too much fun. using earth quake to lock down then using venom like a ghetto magneto
Recently I became interested in learning Spiral/Sentinel in MvC2 after maining Morri/Doom in UMvC3, now I don’t know who are the best combinations with that team, I’ve seen Cable or Commando or even Blackheart added to the mix, can someone give me a description of the variants of the Spiral/Sent shell please? thx
You can add in Doom rocks and IM variations. I’d put Spiral / IM /Sent as the 3rd best team just for the easy DHC’s and combos from repulsor blast assist, as well as kill -> IM guard breaks.
The differences with having Cable vs Commando are that cable assist tracks better. E.g if you call cable anti air as someone air dashes over you he’ll hit the opponent whereas commando will come out on the side you called him from - meaning mag/psy can mess you up at the start of a match.
Spiral / Cable /Sent is the best variation but Spiral with Commando is pretty fun. There’s also the original Spiral / Cable proj/ Cyclops AAA variation but thats ancient.
