Yeah i might go with that because i was thinking that those 2 assists have pretty much the same purpose. So i didn’t want to use them but after you saying that it would make more sense and plasma beam will help Dante getting in and punish sent drones. Definitely going to use it now that i think about thanks.
So call me insane but…
Zero / Thor / Doom
The synergy here is insane. Everything DHC’s into everything, Thor’s AAA is actually pretty good, and you can make use of the DHC glitch with Thor’s command grab hyper and Sougenmu. Now I just need to find out if Thor can actually be made viable…
I’m working on a full-fledged Zero combo video right now and this will be one of the teams I use in it anyway.
Zero is a weird character as far as meter usage, he’s a really good battery character, yet to make his damage output more respectable he has to burn through meter.
With that in mind teams should be planned around if Zero is a battery character or your main form of assault.
Thor is actually a pretty good team member given I imagine you have to burn a ton of meter to get any real effects. I can’t stand Thor, he’s just retardedly slow.
I’ve been running Zero/IM/Dorm. I think that Zero is a good battery for IM and that Dorm is a great anchor and works well for DHC’s, continuing combos with his assists, etc.
I can’t seem to work Trish in effectively with Zero and Taskmaster (anchor). Other than using her assist to OTG in the corner (which taskmaster can do anyway) I can’t seem to find any other uses for her assist other than that and to cover Zero (low voltage). I’m currently working on a way to extend Zero’s combos that end mid screen without the use of OTG like wesker or deadpool. Basically by having Zero use j 
instead of j :s: and see if I can continue that into another launcher. That way I don’t have to use an OTG dedicated assist and taskmaster can both cover Zero when he teleports and OTG in the corner and I can figure out some way to use Peekaboo to trap people.
Why don’t you use Sentsuizan? That way you don’t need a dedicated OTG assist. Using Sentsuizan, any multi-hitting assist will keep them in hit stun long enough to continue the combo.
I can never seem to connect with it if I knock them down and they’re mid screen. I can’t seem to get Zero over to them fast enough before they recover.
im playing Zero(A)/Storm(A)/Wesker(B) this team has very good synergy since I dont wanna play Doom I replace him for storm, but zer rekkoha dhc into hail and hail into sougenmu very well from any part of the screen…her whirlwind assist has wonderful push for crossup assist pushes your opponent right into your saber which is amazing…also otg wesker assist incase your fullscreen and dont have a charged buster as of yet plus unblockable setups with wesker and wesker xfc3 is almost like a sentinel to me one bnb combo does amazing dmg and he builds as much meter as zero…plus this team can play keepaway very decent but lacks HP that about it
I was running that team before too, but I don’t want to have more than one glass-cannon in my team. I had enough with Strider in MVC2 lol XD.
I run Zero / Ammy / Dante, she’s great for anyone that wants to rush. Cold star pins them for forever to apply mixups. Just don’t whiff it at neutral because she can get wrecked pretty easily.
If somebody ever finds a way to DHC from Zero to Tron Bonne, please PM me… fast.
i think you have to do in the very beginning of zeros rainbow super
You can’t I’ve tried. ;(
wow really that sucks i dont you can then
I know man, I really wanted to main Zero/Tron/Doom. I really like the and I tried to use it today online. Even do the lag was horrible online, I managed to meet a guy to play with. I ended up killing his whole team but his Sentinel was last, an he had lv.3 XF (you kind of know where I am going). I wasted my XF very early in the match because I though the guy was free. So short story, the guy’s Sentinel is coming in, I mix him up and get him on a combo.
I end the combo with Rekkouha, and I clearly see Tron is the next character, I try to DHC into the Servbot King super or whatever and it whiffs. I try to make up for the mistake so I press a button and he comes up with j.s which kills Tron. He then activates XF lv.3 and chips out Zero, which have done most of the job by now. My Doom comes in and I try to rushdown, which was mistake especially online so I get command grabbed and rocket punch super’d to death.
If somebody finds a way to DHC Zero>Tron, I would really appreciate it.
Terrible combo for DHCing into Tron: (587,600 damage, needs Iron Man instead of Doom, tested in corner with Sentinel and midscreen with V. Joe)
:l::f::h:(3 hits):l::h:(3 hits), call Iron Man UniBeam assist, :f::h: (3 hits), Rekkoha, Servbot Takeout near the end as soon as Assist OK shows up
I thought about changing teams so many times becuase of this. I ran zero/wolv/sent two freaking glass cannon.
However I now still run the same team different order though wolv/zero/sent (better meter management). I was having a hard time against assist like tron’s (fire) hagger’s (lariat), and chun’s (legs) since my team is basically rush down.
Teams like Hulk/hag/sent or hulk/dom/sent was giving me problems becuase both Zero and Wolv die in 1 fucking combo.
Thankfully I figured out a way around it, and now those teams are pretty much sitting duck against my team.
I’m okay with glass cannons in mvc3 just because marvel is such a huge momentum game, and glass cannon characters just have so many more options on offense.
IYO, what is a better Zero team: Zero/Sent/Doom (hidden missiles) or Zero/Dante/Sentinel?
That is the team i currently use, however i’m on the opposite of where you are (thinking of swapping doom for dante). I put Doom on his hidden missile assist because it gives zero something to use on guys in the air. It helps in keeping the opponent pinned to the ground.
Zero/Skrull/Doom
Hi everyone. I’ve lurked these forums for awhile now mainly for SF but finally decided to post. Specifically my zero team.
Apologies if my team is posted already in the thread i only had the time to read a few pages and saw that people love doom.
I run Zero/Super Skrull/Doom. I’ve tried a lot of other thirds and had good success with Dormammu but there’s virtually no synergy between him and skrull. So when zero dies i’m left with two characters that don’t really help each other outside of skrulls orbital grudge assist somewhat getting people off Dormammu.
Magneto was great for his beam and lvl 3 hyper but i found his low health getting him killed a lot for my poor assist timing. I still think he’s a great third i may try him again later.
Iron man was good as well for his beam assist as you can otg and juggle for a full combo but stand alone i had a lot of trouble applying pressure with him when i needed to.
Assists wise i’m using hadangeki, orbital grudge and plasma beam. Skrull seems to fit my zero really really well, rekkoha dhc’s into inferno nicely for great damage.
One simple combo in particular is normal zero combo into launcher TAC into skrull, M, M, tenderizer, inferno then dhc into rekkoha.
My anchor though needs some work. My doom is pretty weak and occasionally i have trouble getting in when he’s all that’s left. I end up using a lot of foot dives and air dash cancels.
But as far as synergy is concerned i tried to view my team as a whole and also as individual parts. Will zero and skrull work well together? Yes. Will Zero and doom work well together? Yes. Will Skrull and Doom work well together? Yes.
Everything can pretty much DHC into everything (rekkoha, inferno, sphere flame I’ve been trying to land doom’s lvl 3 by using skrull torch and aiming it downward close to the ground but i haven’t got it to work yet) with this team and Dooms beam is very needed for both characters to approach. Skrulls wave dash is amazing and I’m semi using orbital grudge as a gtfo me assist as i think it has a hit of armor and i know it has a few invincibility frames. Plus i can OTG with zero and juggle with it…haven’t managed to follow it with anything other than S as it has a lot of forward movement.
I’ve found some interesting things though such as calling in zero’s assist after killing an opponents character. What happens is they tend to jump over the hadangeki thinking they’re safe and end up eating an elastic slam into meteor smash for huge damage. And since it’s a pretty slow projectile and very visible i can get an elastic slam off when they try to block it consistently when in range.
Zero’s my battery and mix up, Skrulls my damage and meter burner, Doom’s my assist and clean up…some of his loops are pretty awesome lol.
I’d add more but i just worked a 12 hour day and am exhausted sorry if this is known information or if it’s somewhat jumbled and doesn’t make sense.
