i just want a good ender since i’m getting like 900k with solo lightning loops. calling strider during 6h does allow another magic series. i should probably just be satisfied with vajra assist.
Does anyone know of any beam assist characters that would work well with zero that cover the horizontal axis? and ummm, I can’t play magneto or doom on pad (I’ve tried 
) I need someone quick, does vergil have the same purpose with his assist???
Kind of you can use 
Raikouzen plus vergil assist for some good mixups.
Other than for combo extensions I’m not fond of Vergil’s assist at all atm. You can’t chuck it out like Plasma beam and go for crossups cos the startup takes forever and contrary to popular belief he is pretty vulnerable. It’s alright for the occasional shenanigan with TK Raikousen M just like the beams.
So yeah for me right now it’s just combo extensions + blockstrings to force the opponent into the corner squat free. Try maybe Unibeam if Doom and Mags aren’t working out for you?
Yeah, but DT Rapid Slash is IMO one of the best assists in the game.
Ooh never thought about that, what changes exactly? Gonna have to try it out tomorrow, DT in general is just…Jesus <___>
Go to training mode bro, try to normal jump over the assist.
What do you guys think of Zero,Taskmaster,Magneto. Seems to be working nice for me right now.
I like Disruptor for crossups, but dunno how the combo extension with it is in this game. Magneto and Zero don’t have that good DHC synergy I think, but it’s possible to have synergy in their DHCs if you are creative with combos (air Tempest DHCs into Rekkouha). Taskmaster is works great with both I think.
With Magneto, you could try st. S + Ryuenjin assist, super jump H cancel into Hypergrab, uppercut hits, air Tempest, DHC to etc.
Obviously haven’t tested it, but it sounds like something that would work. And Hypergrav assist might be better for combo extending, but EM Disruptor has obvious advantages.
From Zero to Mags, it’s probably better to TAC than DHC.
I’ve been talking to some local players as well as Chrisis about this already, but Zero/Doom/???.
I’ve been playing Strange but he’s limited as an anchor. He’s not really bad it’s just tough against someone who knows to corner themselves and not press buttons. His assist is great; stays out for a long time, easy to confirm off of, counters nearly every opposing long-range assist call.
I could play Sentinel so I’m not stuck re-learning another character again, but Sentinel has problems as an anchor too (I could just run XF2 Doom + drones though).
I’m thinking about Storm on whirlwind assist because she’s a solid character when left on her own with XF and snapbacks would do virtually nothing to my team. Whirlwind assist clears pretty much every other projectile assist out there. Also for tournaments in my region I would get the advantage that there are no Storm players around.
There’s also the option of just picking a good anchor like Wesker or Firebrand but I like optimizing Zero’s game.
What assist are you rocking for Doom at the moment?
I like Doom as an anchor a lot and if you’re using hidden missiles it makes Akuma absolutely stupid in ultimate. NO ONE can run away from Akuma now especially since his walk speed’s been buffed (he was already the fastest in vanilla) and with HM pressure he gets free high low mixup into massive damage. And as always Akuma gives Zero “hard-to-blockables”. My only problem at the moment is figuring out the DHC synergy between Zero and Akuma.
I’m running missiles. I don’t like Doom as anchor at all though.
IMO, we should not think that much on our team synergy and just make it work with the character you like.
Just look at MegamanSteve’s team.
TBH, yeah I’ve come this far with my Day 1 team of Zero/ Dorm/ Doom and don’t intend on ever dropping it. But it lacks cheapness and the elements Dante and Akuma provide. Suppose I’m working more on counter-pick teams to have in the pocket for Zero and the like. e.g. Zero/ Dorm/ Doom isn’t as effective against Hawkeye/ Strange as Zero/ Vergil.
Also for the blockstring mixup I’m sorely tempted to change HM to Molecular Shield now but I’m at a loss for damage output gotta weigh up tricks vs damage and a kind of lockdown.
I agree to an extent but if I only considered what characters I liked then in vanilla I would have stuck with either Zero/X-23/Wesker or Zero/Deadpool/Iron Man and I don’t see either of those teams winning a whole lot.
Also (off-topic) MegamanSteve is still playing vanilla Zero for some reason.
Some bullshit happened yesterday though, Steve was dropping combos thanks to that stupid auto super jump thing. I saw it many times yesterday.
Hey all, first-time poster on this forum. I just started playing after Ultimate was released, and I have been flip-flopping between
Zero(hadangeki)/Dante(jam session)/Vergil(rapid slash), and
Zero(ryuenjin)/Vergil(rapid slash)/Wesker(samurai edge)
Any suggestions on which setup to use? Maybe something totally different I haven’t considered yet? Are my assists ok? I know the basic mechanics of the game and I spend a lot of time watching tournament streams and such (and of course reading the SRK forums), but the team-building thing is still a bit over my head, so I am just using setups that I see good players use. Any help would be appreciated.
I’m converting to the zero/dante/vergil team due to avarice 1 mil combo I saw in his signature. I highly recommend this team over the wesker one because vergil (IMO) has more options with meter compare to wesker in level 3 x-factor or without x-factor. plus dantes jam session is an AMAZING ASSIST for zero. the synergy between the brothers is also deadly.
Both teams that you mention are both really good. However, dante plays a much better role in the team then wesker.
