Zero/Trish/Frank
It’s done. Book it.
One of our top players SYN Don D’s been running Trish/ Frank forever and a month ago changed his point char from Wolverine or Dante to Zero. It’s pretty depressing tbh cos Zero doesn’t even have to be good, just do 1 magic series combo gets Frank to lv4 and then it’s game over for everyone.
Fubarduck said this regarding Zero May cry (which I 100% agree).
*"Zero May Cry is definitely not the best team for Zero. Much harder to apply pressure with Zero without a projectile assist. Dante gives you a good mixup (not counting retarded incoming character pressure), but that’s only if you can get them to block it. Zero dies in one hit, leaving you with Dante/Vergil, Strong characters individually but the assists do not compliment each other . Which means the majority of the time, Dante is going to die, leading to an incoming mixup on Vergil, who has no double jump to escape them. *
Ways Zero May Cry can win: either Zero doesn’t get hit a single time, or you make an X-Factor 3 comeback with Vergil. These can both happen, but you can’t make that happen every time. And if you could make that happen every time, you wouldn’t need Dante/Vergil to begin with. So what are actual strong Zero teams? One assist to help Zero get in and a 2nd character with a strong mixup from your anchor’s assist."
I’ve been saying that throughout Ultimate’s life span. I’m glad atleast Fubarduck understands that now.
There’s no denying the derp is still strong in anchor Vergil though but I’ve never been a fan of Team Weaboo.
Zero/Dante/Strider
Zero/Doom/Ammy
Zero/Dante/Doom
Zero/Dorm/Doom
Will last me the lifetime of this game tbh.
I thought this was common knowledge
i get in free as fuck with zdv (i just prefer to zone which rapid slash can help me do), just saying. i dont know if im godlike or if some of you are ass though
again, people are assuming zero is a rushdown character though. there was no mention in there of rapid slash augmenting zero’s zoning game significantly as it covers the ground while zero covers the air and “protects” vergil’s path with his many tools. rapid slash also does the same thing for dante, albeit not as effective. i could go on but i just come off as biased for my team (which i am of course, like anyone with pride is) so i’ll end it there. that being said, i do think zero dante with a projectile assist (aka magneto) is godlike.
Not amongst the bandwagoners. It’s all “OMG LIEK MIHExDIEMINION I WAN DAT”.
But yeah I don’t wanna get in to this debate again >: (
I think what Fubarduck means, is not about Zero not being able to get in, but more like the overall stabilty of the team. Dante (jam session) + Vergil is not that strong imo. So if Zero dies for whateve reason, you’d still have 2 or at least 1 other way of making a comeback.
I think I may play Zero/Vergil/Mags now… or zero/Mags/west.

Pretty much that. You can also do get it off a THC - which all types of BS by itself. Add in unblockable setups with Round Harvest.
I hit 1.6m with XF3 lvl4 Frank using no meter as well.
EDIT: Know what? I think it was 1.3-1.4 meterless and 1.6 using 1 meter.
And I agree Zero may Cry is to offensive, its a one speed team and cant adjust to different game momentums.

whenever i hear that someone is playing zero without drones or jam session, i get a different form of cancer
If you can figure out a way to easily get Frank to lvl4 with one combo, go Zero/Mags/West - anchor Frank is just… wow.
Repulsor Blast is just as good. Cold Star is close.
Though I replaced Ironman w/Trish, I still want a side Zero/Ironman team - it’s so good.
If they rebalance this game in the future, and Ironman isnt shit. I’ll give him a chance.
Expect Zero to be shit if they rebalance this game in the future
^this. if capcom decides to nerf zero they will literally have to make him unplayable.
To be fair, we all said the very same thing during the period between vanilla and ultimate too (hell week 1 of Ultimate as well).
All they realistically need to do is reduce his minimum scaling to 20% and bring health down to 750K. (700K at the very least).
And give him some new broken tool in typical Niitsuma style =D
Awesome alternative Zero shells just because
Zero/Ironman
Zero/Jill (still messing around with it, but the potential is there)
Zero/RR
Zero/Nova
Zero/Iron Fist (if Fist had something for air, I probably would’ve been running this in the early Ultimate days)
Zero/Hulk
Zero/Skrull (theory)
