i suppose doom/ammy is a good replacement for strider, but spidey/viper/doom/ammy doesn’t sound too feasible!
i suggest looking up a viper player named gottnoskill. He’s austin’s viper and by putting together his execution with seismos and vajra assist, it gets monstrous. Actually, you might have seen me play him on the ufo stream [and lose]
I’m rolling Wolverine/Spidey/Doomsy and the team is pretty good. Spiderman’s web swing assist lets wolvie berserker slash behind for a really good cross up. Same for wolvies berserker slash assist and spidey’s web swing. I switch between hidden missiles and plasma beam. Hidden missiles extend my combo abilities and damage massively but plasma beam is honestly better for offensive and defensive play.
I was thinking Spider/C.Viper/Ammy could work. My corner pressure would be really strong the problem I foresee is Viper would have trouble mid-screen. Also I don’t remember any C.viper player on the UFO stream. If I remember to watch it I’ll be on the lookout next time.
Can I have some feedback on the following team set-up please? Assist swapping? Character drawbacks? Team Drawbacks?
Spiderman (Web Swing)/Captain America (Shield Slash)/Nova (Centurion Rush)
Any help is greatly appreciated! If anyone has some magic combos/resets that have been particularly effective with the above characters I would love hearing what you have been using!
DHC synergy between Spidey and Nova are better than with Cap’s. I’m not even sure what hyper Cap can effectively use after a Spidey MS. Cap also doesn’t have any safe DHC tag options if your Spidey’s running low on life. If you switch their positions however, you will end up with Cap anchor… not really that nice.
Cap’s a pain on anchor plus he still has his charging star loop
This is one of those teams where the synergy between any 2 characters is pretty strong, but collectively, it just doesn’t work right. The main issue for this is because you really don’t have a strong assist that will provide any space control. Shield Slash can do it a bit, but it only has 5 low durability points, so you’re just looking at a stronger web ball. I would say to pick your two favorite and then find another character that can provide the right assist for you (Dante, Vergil, Magneto, Sentinel, Doom, etc.). If you manage to run with Spidey-Cap’n, then you still actually have some strong DHC synergy:
Get to a point in your combo with Spidey where you have done Spider Bite with the ground bounce or have web thrown your opponent into the corner. Raw tag into Cap’n, and then perform a :l: Shield Slash xx Hyper Charging Star. From here you can DHC into Crawler Assault, but be sure to do it before the last hit of HCS, since it will ground them quickly, thus making CA whiff.
I could write a freakin’ dissertation on the synergy between Spidey and Nova, so I think it’d be best if you wait for me to write up the summary for the first page of this thread before you ask about those two. 
If you would like to venture down the Cap’n and Nova road, I’d suggest you let Manji fill you in on the synergy between those two, since he seems to have it down to a science.
I definitely want to keep nova in the team. So I will settle with Spidey/Nova/?. Now I just need a solid 3rd spot to compliment these 2. Airborne listed a couple of suggestions, but I would like everyone’s opinion on what would be the “best” option for these 2 characters.
Imo, the best options for those two characters would be Dante, Doom, Dormammu, Hawkeye, Taskmaster, and maybe Frank.
As someone who used to play Zero/Nova/Frank, I kind of disagree with Frank as an anchor. Sure, he’d be awesome at level 3/4/5, but level 1/2 xfactor Frank is really nothing to fear. And if Nova gets destroyed without leveling Frank to 4/5, then your team is boned (unless you manage to get really lucky). This is doubly true when a team doesn’t have Zero on point to bull**** his way to victory.
As for my Spidey/Frank/Doom team, I’ve actually thought of replacing Doom with someone like Taskmaster or Hawkeye… Taskmaster seems like a solid anchor (along with his assist for Spidey and Nova). Unfortunately, I like Doom too much to throw him out of my team (even though he’s my worst character).
…Then anchor with Nova. -____-
I’d rather Nova be the one to level up Frank then Spider-Man, honestly. Personally, I just don’t agree with such a team composition.
imo spidey/nova doesn’t have “unique” synergy… that is, nova gives the same thing to about every character the same way … besides like frank due to the leveling
nova is a solid anchor and a solid assist. oh and his colors are sick. but otherwise, spidey/nova work just like anychar/nova imo.
spidey can level up frank, i dont like when people don’t know this. it’s not especially good because it’s usually only to lv3 feasibly though as far as i’ve seen ;[
i am heavily considering spidey/someone/sent because it’s so easy mode D:
Of course he can. He can even get him to level 4. The only problem is that, unlike Spider-Man, Nova provides a brain dead combo that levels Frank West to level 4… or even level 5 with the right assist. So if you had to choose between the two, I’d choose Nova, as he levels Frank in a much more reliable fashion. But this comment strays away from the original question.
I agree with Airbourne’s post (with the exception of Frank). All those characters have decent to exceptional space controlling assists. I guess it just comes down to character preference, in the long run.
i dunno how feasible level 4 is with spidey/frank, that’s all.
also i’d rather just do damage off a spiderman hit than setup frank. at least with vergil or dante you can expect to obtain a combo by just teleport mixups and spacing normals , i feel like spiderman is more easily blocked.
Yeah, the combo needs a certain assist to get the combo counter above 50… I haven’t actually tried and Spider-Man/Frank lvl 4s without using Frank’s cart assist to end Spider-Man’s combo before Maximum Spider. I guess you can hard tag in Frank after a webthrow for a THC, but it needs to be in the corner or Frank will outrun Spider-Man, disabling the hard knockdown after the wall bounce. I don’t mean to come off as a dick in my previous posts, if that’s what it is sounding like… if so, my bad.
Edit: Just understood your post. The way I see it, having a level 4 Frank is just a backup awesome character in case Spider-Man is KO’d. If I don’t manage to level Frank, at least I’ll have a Doom beam assist to help Frank get in, or get to level 3 in a single combo.
If you can somehow get Frank to work with Doom missiles, problem solved.
New tech? crosses fingers

I shall go with Spiderman (web swing)/Nova (centurion rush)/Taskmaster (H. Arrows) then. Thanks for all of the help everyone!!!
I see Spider-man to be as helpful, if not, more helpful than Wolverine when it comes to leveling Frank up, and look at what Noel Brown’s done with him.
I’d show you how wrong you are, but I’m saving my tech for Final Round (I’ll know by this weekend whether I’m 100% going or not).
Spidey/Frank/Nova will give you the level 4 you need. Combo into a cornered Maximum Spider, DHC to whiffed QCB Hyper, call Nova Snapshot, Snapshot again. I’m fairly certain I can bust a 30 hit combo out of my ass for this too. BAM!
With enough effort, you can make any balanced team work. You just gotta have faith in your team and be looking in the right places for the synergy that your team needs.
Edit:
Best part about that team is that you can interchange Nova and Spidey being on point to deal with certain MU’s. Their DHC synergy is godlike!!!
