what I want is balance between all 3. not an assist that only works one way, like Doom rocks to keep them locked down becasue I have that with Iron Man except i trade of absolute lock down for some projectile protection. The way I see it Iron Man’s Unibeam lets me stay out and use the Z buster or green fire ball, it lets me chip, or get in.
Suggestions for helping me round of this team? I was experimenting with Storm, but im not feeling it. Tried Tron, but idk. would Dante’s Jam session be good? Im thinking I need a “fuck of me” type move that covers space in front of me and comes out quick or has invul frames. Dante, Skrull? Or maybe Wesker? It seems he is popular and should help with mix ups (something more important than raw damage) between Iron Man and Zero.
Zero/Doom synergy is very good. They can DHC from anywhere on the screen and there DHC does ton of damage. You may also want to consider Doom-a (beam assist) because it is very good for rushing down and it is fullscreen. More importantly it helps a lot with command dash mix-ups. Right now they have the best synergy I’ve seen so I am still researching for the third member (looking to be Wesker or Amaterasu) but Spiderman is perfect also for DHCing with Zero, and Web Swing is kind of decent for command dash mixups.
EDIT: Iron-Man is great, but DHC into Zero could be 2 or 1 frames to do, from what I know.
i really dont want to dhc into tron id rather keep fighter with zero but if i was forced to i guess the servbot king bc even if u hit tron the servbot is still coming out
So far im sticking with Zero, Doom and Task. Task is a great anchor for both Doom and Zero and I’m landing things much more consistently with him. Im just so glad that the two people i picked up without any prior knowledge (zero and doom cause i like em so much) worked out rather well. Taskmaster is fun and is working well with the team so imma keep it going and see what crazy shit i can come up with!
The more i toy with Zero/Chris the more i found them to work really well and the more i’m doubting morrigan in my team.
With ryuenjin and machinegun as assist, the both of them really help each other.
You can dhc rekkoha into chris lv3 easily but you can also dhc chris :dp: + :atk::atk: into Zero’s lv 3 from anywhere in the screen with no sweat as long as you wait forthe opponent to fall down a little.
More than that, Chris allow Zero to do some cross under combo like :l::h: :a1: :f::h: cancel with :l: dash spe :l: ,ect…
While Zero’s Ryuenjin can allow Chris to combo is lv 3 after is classic combo (LMH6H S MMH air magnum land 6HS MHS 2H+A1 link into lv 3 (only 1 M after the second relaunch in order to link the lv 3)) .
A simple LMH6H X-factor LMH6H :dp: :atk::atk: DHC into Genmu Zero can deal something like 1.209k. Sure it’s not enough to kill Sent and it take 4 whole hyper gauge but it takes care of everyone else and anybody can do it without having played the game before. Plus, Chris does lot’s of chip damage, there’s a good chance that Sent won’t have 1200 by the time Chris reach him.
Well anyway, i migh need some one better than morrigan for them, even if the dark harmoniser assist is good, she’s also needs a lot of hyper gauge and that’s not that good.
Just do the combo he did in the video but call Sent before the Dive Kick, then L Command Dash and even if they roll away Sent will keep them lock down.
It’s not unblockable, it just makes it so that they can’t get away no matter what they do. You can also do a 2nd L teleport for more tricks. Just like the Magneto setup your opponent hast to block at the very least… It’s all in your favor.
Guess I’ll add to the discussion as well. I use Zero onpoint with B assist, Mag with A assist, and Sent with A assist. Mag and Sent assist let Zero have a field day with combos/resets/and mixups any time he lands a hit. It’s too fun and you build meter hella fast. Most matches I don’t even need Mag or Sent but I just DHC anyway since I have so much meter I might as well end the match
I am currently in heavy lab testing. I am seeing how much damage a DHC does with Zero + another character, how mobile and how comfortable I feel with other characters, and what’s the highest damage I can get of their assist. Right now only Doom and Zero are on my team as a definite. Doom-a for people that haven’t use it is very good with Zero. It allows to punish Hidden Missiles on reaction fullscreen, to crossup with command dashes, and to extend combo’s after a forward air-throw anywhere. Also allows for corner Setsuizan combos and two loops from the basic bnb after the beam hits. Currently messing around with Chun, Viper, Wesker, Storm, Ammy, Morrigan, Felicia, X-23, Trish, and Iron-Man (working on that DHC).
Some characters that IMO don’t have good synergy are Taskmaster and Tron.
I’ve been sort of feeling Zero/Doom/Iron Man, I haven’t figured out a decent assist for Zero yet, his projectile isn’t as good as beam assists, shippuga maybe, his AA assist seems pretty solid. Doom on rocks, Iron Man on beam. I’ll have to test and see if Iron Man beam is anything like Doom’s beam (IE: godlike) in extending combo’s. If not I’ll probably just stick with Zero/Doom with doom on beam and keep looking.
Sentinel seems an almost obvious go-to choice given that his drone assist is awesome and he’s awesome. I’m glad that my gut feeling from the get-go (Zero/Doom working together so well) is a general consensus now haha.
Rekkoha DHC into up Legion Arrows, followed by TK down Legion Arrows isn’t a good enough DHC? Aim Master isn’t a good enough assist for getting in? You can also DHC from Legion Arrows into Rekkoha by finishing an air combo with down Legion Arrows or a ground combo with launcher, super jump cancel, up Legion Arrows, which could be good when hit stun decay gets crazy on his OTG arrows, shield skills loop.
It’s not Weapon X Prime or Elemental Rage DHCed into Sougenmu good, but I think they do alright together. Zero’s assists seem a little lackluster, though, although that seems to be more of an overall problem. I’ve got Dante to take care of the anti-air and multi-hitting, making Ryuenjin and Shippuga seem kind of redundant, so I’ve been running Hadangeki and throwing it out when I do a diagonal shot.
The best partners for Zero obviously are the ones who help him rush in. If you take a defensive assist it should be one that helps you extend combos and that can limit your opponent’s options when you have them cornered (Jam Session, Molecular Shield, Dark Hole).
IMO the best partners for Zero right now are: Doom (beam), Dormammu (Dark Hole or Purification), and Sentinel (Drones)
The next best below them would probably be: Doom (shield or missiles), Dante (Jam Session or Weasel Shot), Iron Man (Unibeam or Repulsor Blast), Amaterasu (Cold Star) and Taskmaster (H. Shot or Para Shot)
I really think Doom is hands down the best partner for Zero. Every assist is very useful and they have amazing DHC synergy with each other.
Magneto (Disruptor) and Akuma (Tatsu) would also be good if that didn’t mean having two very fragile characters on one team.
I dunno man, Mag’s assist is so good to Zero though. It gives him mixup and reset options as well as functioning as an OTG combo extender. If you have both Zero and Mag on your team Mag really shouldn’t even have to do that much work, he should just come in and kill someone off with Gravity Squeeze basically. The only problem I have with Zero/Mag is that DHC from Skittles super is really weak because 9 times out of 10 tou hit that super in the corner and so Mag only gets 2 hits of Shockwave unless you DHC into “DA SKWEEZ”
A little off-topic, we should come up with a name for Zero/Dante/Doom. Kef was using the team and I’m still using it, Doom is probably Zero’s best partner, and Dante is probably the most popular character in the game, so I can see this becoming a really common Zero team and it deserves a badass name ^^. I’m terrible at naming things though. Zero is a Maverick Hunter and Dante is a Demon Hunter, but Doom isn’t really a hunter of any sort, and other than that I don’t know how else to connect them.
What do you guys think of storm whirlwind assist ? I have included her in my team recently, ( Zero / Storm / Tron ) and I thought I would stick with her. Her assist is so good in mixups, specially if they advance guard. For example after a regular bnb or throw you can dash then call assist and do qcb M and it crosses up, if they blocked the assist, you can instantly do qcb H > H and you crossup again with an overhead while they are still in blockstun. One problem is her assist whiffs if you do it too close in a blockstring, that’s why am starting to doubt her. So I just tested doom instead of her today, he’s good as a character and he DHCs well with zero, but I hate the fact that his assist juggles. Do you guys think doom is better than storm? I haven’t tried him in a match yet, just picked him in the lab.
