I REALLY like Zero with Arthur’s Dagger assist.
It’s like a Sentinel that comes out faster, it’s useful in combos after otg, moves at almost the same speed as command dash, protecting you from a lot of things while you command dash…
Arthur will be a lot stronger in Ultimate…
My Zero/???/Arthur team (in vanilla I use Mags/Zero/Arthur for the DHC glitch, dunno if replacing Mags because my mags sucks :P) will surely be better than it is now 
It’s a great assist, the only problem is that it won’t combo well at the end of Zero’s combos because it is affected by hitstun scaling, unlike most other assists.
Yeah, that’s a problem… but even after full normal jump loop you still can OTG, call Arthur, jump, lv3 buster, raikousen, lightloop… so I think he’s fine…
of course, assists like Ammy coldstar or dante or chun-li or haggar could be better to do simple finishers… Arthur really shines when you’re still trying to get in, opposed to in the end of combos.
My team consists of Zero, Dante, Maggy. Dante for anti air assist and Maggy for projectile assist teleports both work for otg combos as well. My problem is Maggy is nerfed pretty hard in UMVC3 so i need a new third that can replace him with the same principals involved. Zoning, projectiles, and assist that helps. I was thinking Hawkeye could fit perfect but have yet to see his assists. If not him who else you think can fit the bill other than Dr.Doom, i can buktooth combo with him but im horrible at how to approach situations with him.
Mag’s is more or less the same he’s looking absolutely devastating in umvc3! You crazy?!
Here’s my zero team guys. Check it out

nice team but your a 3rd lord that doesnt use buster combos or delayed j.M combos? you may be limiting your zero’s potential but your zero mix up is pretty rape.
thank you and what do you mean by buster combos? And what do you mean by delayed jM combos?
Also i could be higher ranked but after i started playing some offline matches at ZP and at this casual place at UF i’ve slowly started shying away from online ranked matches. I usually play against people i know of gamespot members online now. And I don’t care about ranked matches anymore i was just doing it today just to see how I faired against other people.
Now that Ultimate is coming out in a few months I am taking more time to play other characters and I wanted to know is Zero(Hadangeki)/Ryu(Tatsu)/Captain America(Shield Slash) a decent team in Vanilla?
heh, sentinel defninetly translate from mvc2 top teir too mvc3 easy mode to me… he does seem do go very well with zero though seeing how they are robots. Its not necessarily a good idea to make a team about “who looks good together” but I plan on maining zero and akuma for a while, till I can get some cyber-akuma going in UMVC3
what i mean by buster combos is the normal to more advanced combos using the buster twice in a single combo for example L, M, H, f H, S, jM, jM, Buster, then begin charging again until you end it usually then otg assist buster again. Believe it or not the buster is what makes the most damage in his combos. Delayed jM combos are followed by jM, jM, jH (delay a second) then jM before you land and begin a hopping loop of jM, jM, jH, repeat then buster and relaunch. Highest damage/meter building combo he has without assists
Well i do do the buster combo’s when i play. And also i like going for resets at times and such. Also i don’t like that delayed jm combo because it’s harder to time and i feel that the modified one that i use using down H (X2)-> jumping M-> jumping M…etc(mix it up) is better (especially on dpad) and you can still relaunch and get a full combo after that.
I was thinking of switching from Zero/Dante/Sent to Zero/Dante/Akuma. Sentinel is not really my style of character, and I think Akuma is a much better anchor. I haven’t been liking Sentinel’s assist much lately either. Which is a more solid team?
Looks good enough to me.
I’m currently using Zero/Spencer/Wesker with Slant Shot and Samurai Edge Assists. I’m currently experimenting with Zero’s Hadangeki Assist as I normally use shippuuga.
When Wesker has a beam assist such as Doom or Magneto, you can normally do some sort of mix-up (i think unblockable, not sure) where Wesker teleports behind and then you use a beam assist on the other side. (See Maximillian’s videos as he has a few examples of this). I’m trying to do this with Zero’s assist but with mixed success. I can occasionally get the hit but the follow it up with a combo has been mixed successes. Has anyone tried using this effectively? Perhaps with Sougenmu as well?
I’ve also tried to use Hadangeki assist to continue combos (OTG low gun shot, hadangeki assist into launcher) but I don’t think this one’s possible)
For awhile I’ve been playing Mag/Wesker/Sent or Mag/Sent/Wesker, but as of recent I’ve been doing some experimenting with Mag as an anchor and I think my play style with Magneto fits having him as an anchor. But I’m getting kind of sick of Wesker/Sent, so I’d like to get some more variety for my teams.
So I’m choosing Zero as my point character - I want a pure rushdown character that’s great at building meter and considering my immeasurable hate for Wolverine, my top choice is Zero. So I’m working with Zero/___/Mag.
From what I’ve read I gather Sent would work nicely, probably Wesker too, which I’m sure I’ll play with on and off, but as mentioned I’m sick of Sent/Wesker… so I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions on other characters who would nicely fit the combination of Zero on point and Mag as anchor?
(Edit: I’ve also been trying to fit Trish or Skrull in to my teams for awhile, but I’ve been having trouble, seems like both of them need to be catered to with assists and I havent been able to fit both a good synergy with the assists they need (unless I base a team completely around them, which I’m not up for yet). So while I’m doubtful, if theres any synergies or possibilities of fitting them nicely in between Zero and Mag, details would be appreciated =).
I’m thinking of picking up Zero for my alt team (Mag/Zero/Doom). been interested in playing Zero for a while now and with my execution I think I can handle his advanced combos and whatnot. thank you Viper lol. I was just wondering if I should be running EM Disruptor assist with Mags and Hidden Missiles with Doom instead of two beam assists since I think it would be pretty redundant. I’m thinking of Hadangeki for Zero’s assist as well. what do you guys think?
edit: nvm on Hadangeki. I have some resets and combos with Mags using Viper’s seismo assist and I don’t think I need to make too big of an adjustment since Ryuenjin also launches them in the air.
I’ve recently dropped storm for dante (Team is Zero-A/Dante-C/Wesker-B) and ive gotten is basic bold cancel BnBs down now and Ive played some casuals at next level and Idk I think I really need a get off me assist like tron or a brain dead opener like sentinel or akuma would help because I went pretty even with the person I was playing, but its like I barely won or he won by a landslide, I wanna drop wesker but I loose HP and pick ups after airgrab into jump loop and hes a great anchor also, but my team lacks something and I need to drop someone.
Your team lacks Jam Session. I’d put Dante on Jam Session and Wesker on Jaguar Kick. Both are waaay better for Zero and Dante. You can combo after air throws with an OTG dive + assist with Zero, no big deal. Zero and Dante by themselves without a third can go pretty far so don’t worry too much about not having Drones or Tatsu assist.
But if you do want to lose Wesker, just throw in Sentinel. Can’t go wrong. But either way give Zero that Jam Session.
