Zero should never be on anchor. He’s a point character in all aspects.
His foot dive causes a hard knockdown now so it allows for brain dead easy hit confirms and apparently a couple of his projectiles have been sped up like his jumping gun move. Couple that with how good his assists are and he is probably gonna be one of the more popular characters in ultimate. Right now Im considering zero/amateratsu and someone but not sure who yet, maybe she-hulk.
wht about him being in the second spot.
I think it’s ok to use Zero as the second char but there must be a reason for not using him in the first spot. For example you may want to take advantage of the DHC glitch as done by Marn (Mag/Zero/Sent).
thats exactly wht a do i have mags on point but i have ammy anchor
Zero should be used first or second. I use him second mostly because his comeback potential is absurd with or without x factor and I start wesker to pretty much scout out how my opponent plays. Wesker usually requires 2 combos to kill, which always gives me a second chance to figure them out. If wesker dies, i just need to land a clean hit with zero and use zero/taskmaster DHC’s to get back into the game. Now the score is 2-2 and I have an advantage on your incoming character. Not to mention if you killed Wesker, I very likely have a boatload of meter which means i will literally win the game with just two mixups.
Just got back from a casual session and I think come Ultimate (hopefully) I’ll be Zero/Doom/??
Tonight I mainly ran Zero/Viper/Doom and while it felt good, replacing Viper with some who has more chemistry with Zero could make this team a killer. I’m thinking Sent with Drones, Task, Iron Fist on ground bounce assist, Strider on teleport kick or Hawkeye on poison.
Iron Fist really intrigues me as I think he’ll benefit from a character that has a power super since he mainly wants to stay on the ground. So IF on point, ground combo into Fists of Fury, DHC to Sougenmu, combo ending with rainbow, DHC to Spirit of the Dragon. Rinse and repeat.
Put Dante on imo. With Jam session you get an amazing vertical assist to keep people closer to the ground, which works well paired with a horizontal assist like Doom beam. You get strong mixups of Jam session (left/rights that can’t be jumped out of, followed by a second mixup at the end when they get pushed towards you)., you get a transformation super to DHC to (which gets a large combo extension after rekkoha), and you get the full steb ender (2 lightnings and a hard knockdown). You also get Dante second, which is a very good point character when paired with a horizontal assist (as opposed to Sentinel who’s really not to spectacular on point.)
There’s a handful of characters I choose not use due to religious reasons and Dante is one of em. Some will find it stupid, but whatever.
If you’re “religious” reasons are just not-playing-top-tier morals, then why are you playing Zero? No shame in Dante.
Unless you mean actual religious reasons. In which case, really?
religious reasons??? huh.
Only thing here that strikes me as weird is as thus: if it’s because Dante has demon blood, then you probably shouldn’t be using Doom either, as he is a practitioner of dark arts and has made demons and twisted humans into demonic forms (see Darkoth) throughout Marvel history.
Just sayin’.
Haha nah it’s actual true religious reasons. I don’t play characters who are supposed to be demons or from Hell. Hasn’t been a problem for me thus far. Sure I usually need to get a little more creative with my teams, but those teams are never low-tier.
This is why I usually don’t mention things because someone always tries to point out this or that. Not saying your intent is to be a douche, but sometimes people are.
Anyway, Doom doesn’t use Amy dark arts or demons in the game which is my main concern. Dante literally turns into a devil.
Zero on point lol. Good idea if you weren’t going to play any other decent character on your team.
But Dante’s a good demon! He saved the world from the real bad demons. That’s racist of you to discriminate against demons, you know. Just because they’re here from Hell illegally doesn’t mean you shouldn’t accept them. Not to mention he’s Zero’s best friend. How could you destroy such a beautiful friendship?
…
Seriously, play Dante. >:|
Trust me, it ain’t exactly easy not play him after watching your vids.
I’m sure God isn’t going to hold it against you to play a fictional half-demon character in a fighting game.
Also Dormammu is a cosmic being, not a demon, just in case you were holding that against him too.
I’m fucking nuts. Thinking about Zero/MODOK/Doom.
For ultimate…I MIGHT go Zero/MODOK/Wright due to insanity.
This is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever read on the internet.
I respect your decision but you must admit it’s pretty unusual.
