Zero/Dante/Vergil is pretty solid, was playing them for a couple hours last night and Zero/Dante are still best friends, while Dante/Vergil are brotier so it’s all good.
Zero / Vergil / Doom - really excited about this team, anyone have any recommendations on which assist for Vergil? (I’m looking at y right now.) Also has anyone played around with Rekkoha DHC into Vergil’s Devil Trigger and seen what we can get off it?
Well it took all day but I found a team I’m confident running for the next while (at least until the next tourney I go to on the 26th).
Zero (Ryuenjin) / Iron Man (Unibeam) / Doctor Strange (Eye of Agamotto)
Zero/Tony is nothing new, everything about this pair is still the same except Tony is a much better character this time around (my day 1 ghetto Iron Man combo does 800k with Strange assist and 1 meter and is 0.5 meter positive).
Eye of Agamotto appears to be amazing. The steb combo works, Iron Man Repulsor Blast combo extensions work, and the lockdown it creates oh my god.
Then there’s 7 Rings for the anti-XFactor-beam-comebacks.
Can we do Rekkoha --> Spiral Swords and then do the high time loop?
I like Strange second for Sougenmu DHC to Book to punish anything and get zero out, you can x-factor book to teleport palm loop to kill basically every character in the game, it’s so dumb and ridiculous, especially against zoning, just sit there and wait for them to call an unsafe assist and punish it, if they both get hit you basically just won palm loop will kill both of them and from there you’re in a great position with X-factor time left and a mixup on the next character. Also Strange as well as Vergil really benefit from powered up fireball, you can teleport behind them after the first fireball hits, it’s pretty amazing for pressure and mixups.
zero/doom/strange… how should i do the order? i’m having trouble deciding who i want as an anchor between doom and strange… i guess it’s too soon to tell right now?
I was playing with that team for a couple of hours. I liked zero/strange/doom over zero/doom/strange. The DHCs worked a little better in that order and I kinda like doom at anchor. His speed is ridiculous in lvl 3 x factor.
yeahh, i was honestly considering that since my doom is stronger than my strange at the moment. i also love doom’s plasma assist / strange’s M teleport cross ups… so much tech to work out with this team!
I don’t think I would ever put Strange as an anchor.
OMG - Just used Zero/Frank/Hawkeye. For now this may be my team. I was getting air exchanges for free, so I’ll have to really see how viable this can be for the long term, but I like synergy.
Switched to the team in my sig, the new Zero bnb with those two assists is gdlk.
Zero (b) / Vergil (y) / Strider (y)
bff
Zero and Vergil are looking pretty solid. I still wanna play Dante though.
I’ve been using Zero/Dante/Doom since yesterday and it’s pretty decent. I don’t really like Doom that much honestly though. Could I throw Strider in place of Doom on this team or should I just find another beam/projectile assist anchor.
Strider’s Vajra for most purposes can be used as a beam. I think you’d be okay honestly.
I was going to join the Strange and/or Vergil hype train when this game was released, but I found that my old teams were overall buffed and I really am hardwired to playing them. I did drop Akuma from MvC3 to UMvC3 despite thinking that he is a better character. I feel like Sentinel’s assist has more synergy with the team, especially with the air dash nerfs. Sentinel’s assist allows time for Dormammu to set up self crossups and to charge his hands, and the assist makes zoning even more viable. I have a lot of tech with this team, but I am still developing the synergy. I am really excited for it.
Both Vergil and Phoenix Wright can set-up a free unblockable.
Phoenix Wright blocked Maya super sets up the perfect setup for Sougenmu DHC unblockable. If you TK Vergil air super, the blockstun is enough for setup the unblockable in the corner.
I use Zero (Ryuj) / Vergil (Rapid) / and Doom (Plasma).
Should I replace Plasma Beam assist with Hidden Missiles for better combo extensions and more control in a match? I’m hesitant because I’ve been using Plasma Beam since Vanilla 
I think you should keep Plasma Beam as an utility assist. Rapid Slash is enough for combo extensions and Plasma Beam will help you get 50/50’s and Sougenmu locks.
I’m having trouble deciding between these teams:
Zero/Wesker/Doom
Zero/Vergil/Doom
Zero/Strider/Doom
Doom’s always gonna be Beam assist. I’m really enjoying the mixup these characters have with him.
I’m also interested in trying Strider anchor.
Zero/Vergil/Strider
Zero/Wesker/Strider
I’m not too used to his assist yet. I don’t like how Strider pops up right next to the point character before he teleports. Would have been way better if he came out from the back like Doom (obviously would be OP though).
If anyone more experienced could help me out or give a comment or two about any of these teams, that’d be great. Thanks.
Zero/Vergil/Arthur is my new official team. I’m starting to actually win now that I have a team of my own. Zero and Vergil are the new best friends forever.
I would like to jump on the Zero/Vergil/Doom train. My question is does Vergil have an assist that can function as lockdown like Jam Session? I’m concerned about Zero getting his 50/50 but also Doom needs an assist to hold people down.
This concern has me thinking about playing Dormammu again.
So what is it that Vergil brings to the table for Zero besides combo extensions?
Edit: I’m just watching Cornbread’s team video. I think I am learning to love Vergil.
