The team I’m running at the moment is:
Cable-B/Storm-Y/Sentinel-Y
It’s basically a variant of SSC that differs in that the team order is switched as well as Storm’s assist, making the team more Cable-centric. My only issue with this team is that Storm-Y feels like a weak attempt at an anti-air assist.
So, I’ve been playing Team Z (Jugs/Tron/Doom) with success lately. I can pretty much OHKO at least one character in a match, and my Doom isn’t bad if the other two get killed off.
My problem is playing against Cable with Sent drones backing him up. Anyone else play Z and know the best way to deal with it? I know that on DC I can headrush when Cable pulls out hyper viper, but on PSN I don’t seem to have enough time.
Which of assists should I use with Magneto/Storm/Cable and why?
Why is this team underplayed?
mag projectile, storm exp, cable AA
but this is how I would play it personally. If magneto dies, storm EXP can act as an AA. It’ll help cable with getting rushed down and help control the ground angle.
team gets underplayed because I can think of 2 variations better than ms\cable. msp and mscyke are both better than ms\cable. msp\mscyke give you invincible rush down where ms\cable will only trade @ best given the situations. Storm also likes to dump bar in the middle slot since it adds to her game plan tremendously. If you have storm\cable with little bar, it can be a problem since you have 2 characters who love to use bar. Technically, storm doesn’t HAVE to dump bar. She’s pretty formidable as a rush down character so she can be played quite a few ways.
So I was trying to think of a good jill team the other day, partially cause I’m interested in screwing around with her and partially for practice forming solid teams.
I figure the biggest thing she lacks is space control, primarily an AA. Because she’s going to be up close most of the time, and i’m not limiting myself to lower tier characters I figure Psylock would make a good assist due to the invincibility and low launch height.
As far as an additional space control assist, the first one that comes to mind is Sent Y, for the horizontal space control and to attempt to fill gaps in strings. I’m not really good enough at Marvel to make completely effective use of it yet, and my sentinel is absolutely horrific. proj cable and proj iceman could also fill the gap I suppose, but they don’t stay on the screen as long and so I assume it would control far less space.
In any case, what would be another good option aside from sent. Also, I know I have to learn to play sent anyway, so yeah.
Jill/Storm(Projectile)/Cyclops(Anti-air)
Is a great Jill team. Good DHC options, Storm Projectile helps Jill Zone, since you can’t destroy Storm Projectile, and Cyclops Is a great AA.
Cable Anti-air assist.
my two teams right now are:
mag-a
cable-b
tron-y
and
juggs-b
sent-y
capcom-b
any advice?
I’m lookin for a good IM team.
I’ve been usin IM AAA/Cable AAA/Doom AAA
And IM AAA/Doom AAA/Sent with drones, or somethin with capcom.
Mainly I like IM and DD, but I want some diversity here.
Edit:
Also I want a casual play team.
Rage quits are out of hand.
I was thinking along the lines of Cammy/Morrigan/Psy (My brother’s team… >_<)
or Sakura/Doom/CapCom.
im\cable\doom
mag\IM\sent
im\storm\cable
im\sent\cyke or other god like AA
im\cable ron
cammy\morrigan ron is retarded functional and morrigan ron has some very nasty mixups.
cammy\morrigan\psylock is good but you’re really lacking damage potential. If a top tier team hits you, you’ll lose the game. With this team if you hit someone, you can’t win the game off 1 hit or even 2 outside of DHC’s maybe. I stick tron with my low tiers because generally, I can kill a full character with 2 setups back 2 back.
I’m looking into Team Russia, and trying to figure out an order and assist types.
Omega Red (B) / Colossus (dash) / Gief (Lariat)
or
Gief (lariat) / Colossus (Dash) / Omega Red (B)
Omega Red is good 1st as a battery, but also last since you can’t run away from him, and Gief last would be prone to runaway. Colossus in the middle to use all the meter with armor and supers.
Thoughts? Suggestions? 
Gief’s air throw assist can be somewhat useful as it will catch people off guard. It’s not safe or anything, but it’s good shenanigans.
I think Red should be on point with Gief second because you can Mecha and still use Colossus’ assist to help with Gief’s mobility problem, whereas if Colossus is left alone, he’s a little more able to take care of himself.
yo my team is
Magneto- Projectile assist
Capcom - Anti-Air
Cable- Anti-Air
i tried switching capcom for psylocke and it hasnt been successful, i tried cyclops, im 0-5 with that, then when i try getting capcom back in it, he doesnt do as well.
who else can i use to swap him out with to help my mag rushdown(cant do any rushdown with corridor and scimitar sending ppl flying)?
Keep Magneto first and put Psylocke third with AA assist. The middle can be Cable if you want. Maybe you can use projectile assist with him.
I’m about 9 years behind on this game, so I wanna get some critique on my team. I’m using these guys:
Ironman - Anti-air
Cable - Anti-air
Sentinel - Ground
Not sure of who would be better, but I feel like I want to switch out Cable or Sentinel for someone else, just to have less top tier people. Also of note is I sometimes switch out IM for Spiral. Anyways, thoughts, suggestions, whatever, I just wanna know what’s good.
Edit: Also I wanna stay away from Mags and Storm, I tried them, but they weren’t for me.
I’ve recently picked up the game and right now my team is looking like:
Spiral Projectile/Sentinel Ground/ Blackheart AA
I’ve been told this is a good zoning team. Any one else confirm/deny?
So I know for sure that I want to run the Sent/CapCom duo because I really enjoy playing it. I’m still kind of stuck on my third, though. Besides the usual suspects (Storm, Cable, Blackheart) who would work well on that team? I kind of want to throw in Iron Man but I’m not sure if he’d really fit all that well. Also, I remember reading someone talking about a Strider/Sent/CapCom team a little while back. Is that at all viable either?
So I have been playing two teams for awhile and I want to try some other teams. Right now I play Mag, IM, Psylocke, and Team Z. To a much lessor extent I play BH, Cable, Cyke(eventually I will probably switch over to the big boy BH team but I like this one more for now), and Spiral, Cable, Sent. As you can tell I play only pretty well known teams, well Mag, IM, Psy probably isnt as well known but one of my favorite players uses that team although I didn’t know that when I picked it.
Anyway I want to play a Iceman based team, and Anakaris based team. As far as characters I really don’t want to play are Storm, and Sonson. Trying to find something with good chemistry, so any suggestions?
edit: Forgot I always was wondering about a Jill based team.
So with the short amount of time I’ve been playing this game I’ve been learning Team Clockw0rk, but I’m looking for something else to mix it up and mess around.
Anything goofy or gimmicky sounds right up my alley. Basically a team that focuses on one character/strategy.
Looking for a Jin-focused team in particular.
Jin goes pretty well with Doom(AA). From that point, u can add a Anti-air.
use Cable(AA) or Capcom(AA) instead of Blackheart.
For Iceman, use Sent(drones) or Doom(rocks). Then get a AA, maybe Cable
Good Anakaris teams without Sonson and Storm are:
Anakaris/Ironman/ Cyclops(AA) or Psylocke(AA)
Anakaris /Cyclops(AA)/Tron(pro)
Anakaris/Sent(drones would be best)/Cyclops(AA)
Good Jill teams:
Jill/Sent(drones)/AA
Jill/Doom(rocks)/AA
Jill/AA/ Tron(pro)
what non top characters are u interested in using?
Why Cable or Capcom as opposed to Blackheart? Blackheart’s AA assist seems to control a lot of space.
I really want to know why, since I’m new to the game and don’t really know anything about it. What is the reasoning behind using Cable or Capcom over Blackheart (besides the fact that I know Cable is god tier).
