It doesn’t lockdown, but it is a reliable way to force the opponent to block on the ground, which is all Spidey really needs.
Secondly, it gives spidey a tool that’s able to enforce some control on Zero/Morrigan, his worst match ups.
Thirdly, if you play a shell like Vergil/Strider, it matters less that Spidey is ass.
How does it force people to block on the ground you can up back it with zero repercussions against spiderman.
I’ll give you that but honestly you are better working with missiles when fighting those two anyways.
Vergil/Strider is an iffy shell to begin with considering it’s inability to convert without burning X-factor every single time. Spiderman/Doom/Strider would be far more effective while still retaining a certain level of derp and giving spiderman more tools to play around with.
I’ve never liked spider-man strider. I just always thought it would be difficult to get in the right position to consistently confirm off the hard knockdown. And yeah. I don’t know how good it would be if it’s your only neutral assist used to get in.
It’s not one of his best, but vajra is definitely not terrible for Spidey. Not very many characters can really take advantage of vajra to begin with. If you look at it relatively, Spidey is one of the better vajra users. Spidey’s offense is strongest at ground level, so he appreciates the fast tracking vertical support vajra gives. He’s also able to convert off vajra hits, though confirming those can be pretty tough without making some option selects for them. Punishing vajra can be risky to do with Spidey on screen as well, since web throw is always an option to catch some of the more common vajra punishes for a full combo. Lastly, Strider himself will appreciate the fact that Spidey will likely never need/want to burn XF on point, making your comeback potential consistent in every match(as opposed to situations like Wolvie/Doom/Vergil where Wolvie may want to XF for a kill and leave Vergil without XF). That said, there are better options for Spidey out there so Strider wouldn’t be the first partner I’d look for.
This thread is boring. Who’s been holding it down for spiderman on stream? I haven’t seen spiderman on stream in a while.
Who cares who’s on stream? You should be asking who’s still winning with Spiderman and since I don’t play anymore the obvious answer is no one.
They go hand in hand. If you’re winning, you’ll probably be on streams more often.
There was a pretty decent spiderman player at the last tournament in japan. He did pretty well too. Playing spiderman, rr, ammy.
Is there an archive of this or something? I was thinking of seeing what I can do with that exact team, but had doubts about it’s potential.
Yeah. The tournament was called gcup. I can’t remember the twitch channel though and I’m not at my computer.
There you go. One of his matches (not sure if it’s his first one) starts at 01:15:25.
Nothing really impressive imo, but Spidey’s always fun to watch.
So I see a lot of Spider-Men using Dorm/Doom as his main shell. Why is that as the shell seems to be pretty low neutral for a character like Spidey.
More importantly, if people find a shell like that to be good. Would Vergil/Strider be a good setup to run behind Spidey?
The neutral is not as good as other teams but you get really easy kill combos and a really strong shell behind spider-man.
Im interested in Spiderman. What are his top 5 assists, excluding Missiles? Thanks !
Pendulum. Drones. Unibeam. Jam Session. Greyhound.
After casually going to SCR and spending the week with team CTRL. I might be back. Time to work on some shit. I honestly think my 2 teams will be Spider-man/Magneto/Doom (Beam)
and Spider-man/Dorm/Missiles
So right now I’m just going to work on having gdlk movement with that first team. My only question is, for the first team I 100% will be using Doom beam. After this weekend I’ve realized how amazing it is. Rayray’s been telling me for months to switch to beam and I didn’t listen, but damn is it so much better against 90% of my match ups.
But If I’m using Doom beam, I’m thinking if I should just double beam it up with Mags aswell or use another assist. And if I use hypergrav how much extra damage can spidey get. hmmm
If you use hyper grab assist, you’ll lose shockwave THC.
Since you’re going to work on your movement, you’ll have to practice your plinks really hard. With that, you’ll eventually be able to do web throw loops and just THC with shockwave+CA for good damage.
If you feel you’re having trouble with plinking, just map LMH to one button and H plink to that. It makes plinking so much easier.

Spiderman and dorm don’t have an effective gb though
Looking for original and optimal ways of slipping in Viper’s burn kick in my combos. any ideas? playing with jam session too
i really like Spider-man/Nova together b/c of corner pressure/centurion rush assist setup but i dont know what character to put with them. i really want to run hawkeye or beam assist. I don’t really care for anchor characters but honestly i’ll save nova for my xfactor if need be. any suggestions
