thank you
Anybody that plays Zero/Trish/Dante can tell me a summary of the strenghts of the team?
Zero/Trish/Dante <3 Too much fun.
I feel like I am using the three characters in every single combo. Jam Session and Peekabo are so good for Zero. Wanna jump or move too much? Jam Session. Wanna come close now? Peekabo. I feel like I am playing Zero+Tron when I am using Peekabo. It’s basically Jago’s team but without Wesker, an OTG assist, having Zero, better DHCs, and Jam Session instead of Weasel Shot. I can switch anyone around in any order and they still work.
Team Pizza could be the name of this team.
oh lol Zero is the slicer, good shit.
So far we have pretty cool names for Zero teams:
- The hunters (Zero/dante/sentinal)
- Love triangle ( zero/vergil/dante)
- Team Pizza ( zero/trish/dante)
Well there;s also Team japan I think (Zero/Dante/Akuma).
Loving Team Pizza now.
oh yeah yeah Team japan was my main team in vanilla, good memories.
So I was sick for about a week and chose to rest instead of train. First night playing again tonight and I think I may be seeing the game a bit more clearly.
I really, really like Zero/Ironman. Mainly because Ironman is fun, packs two good assists and can DHC well.
I’m also looking at Zero//Viper again as I think she’s an awesome anchor, it’s just none of her assists are anchor material, so I’d be playing a 2-man game with Zero/ and let Viper play the Phoenix role.
My main problem finding a a team I wanna stick with is that I’m not interested in any of the conventional partners for Zero lol.
So the teams I’m considering:
Zero/Cap/Sentinel
Zero/Ironman/Sentinel
Zero/Ironman/Doom
Zero/Sentinel/Viper
Zero/Viper/Sentinel
Zero/Viper/Strider
Zero/Ironman/Viper
I like Zero/Iron Man, and while a majority of the community insists that he is garbage tier, I’m not sold on that. You don’t have flight, an 8-way air dash and a good projectile and be ass in a Marvel game. You just don’t.
I ran Z/IM/Doom for a while in Vanilla, we already know that Hidden Missiles is good for Zero, but I think it helps Iron Man have a really annoying neutral game with proper Repulsor Blast – SPREAD! I don’t know how he feels after his ch-ch-changes though.
And I am a huge advocate of Doom anchor. Shit is stupid good.
Also, how you can be sick at home and not play video games is beyond me. 
These two are VERY scary. I may switch viper with zero in team order, but do what you want. I’m not sure how effective strider assist is, but hey, he’s a fun character :).
I would learn viper for sure. and find an assist character that works for zero/viper. good luck
I already know Viper, played her and Zero together in vanilla a lot. Need to field test her at anchor to see if I really want her there.
How does a Zero/Doom/Viper team sound? I love all 3 characters and being able to stick all 3 of em on a team would make my day.
In the event that ^^^^^ doesn’t work out, which characters would be good for Zero//Viper or Zero/Doom/_? I’d like to avoid any of the trenchcoat mafia (Dante, Wesker, & Vergil) if possible
I see a lot of talk of Zero/Viper but I sure haven’t seen a lot of tech or synergy presented.
I GUESS I’LL JUST BOOT UP THE GAME AND MAKE A QUICK VIDEO
I still haven’t found the camera for Pizza team vid :(.
Because its not much there other than Burn Kick unblockables. Even the DHC is pretty iffy. It’s the type of pairing that’s just so close to being awesome, but doesn’t reach. I just think she’s an awesome anchor for Zero if you want play a Phoenix style team setup.
Zero/Doom/Viper
Zero/Sent/Viper
Zero/Ironman/Viper
All good Viper anchor teams for a Phoenix style setup. I’ve yet to find a good Zero/Viper setup mainly due to the Zero => Viper DHC. You miss hits on Burst Time and Emergency Combo. Strider anchor would probably best if you really wanted to go Zero/Viper/*.
I think Zero/Doom/Viper is awesome. You should check out some matches of Viscant’s Zero/Doom/Phoenix. I’d play ZDV the same way, only you’re able to use meter. IMO as long as Viper has one meter if/when Zero and Doom get KO’d you’re very dangerous due to EX Seismo. Her XF3 is pretty sick too due to her having low damage scaling. To add icing to the cake, her combos are usually meter positive.
Note about the burn kick overhead assist: the hitox is big as shit. In the corner you can option select the assist call + low B to catch forward and back tech rolls, the burn kick will hit wherever they roll. It also has 5 active frames, which at least is enough to not making the timing on the assist call hard.
The DHC, at least in my testing, from Rekkoha to Burst Time works if you DHC just as the first blue beam of the rainbow super comes down, at least on some characters. It doesn’t matter anyway because DHC’s for Zero are obsolete, just keep lighting looping.
DHC’ing from Burst Time to Sougenmu lets you lighting loop after a full combo, so there’s that too. The uppercut assist for Viper gives her some nice combos too, none of which I am capable of doing because I am no Viper player.
I think it’s all gonna come down to the overhead assist really, at least for Zero it is. And for Viper, any focus attack unblockable could learn to a DHC to lightning loop for death. It can work.
Who would you run anchor? All the assists that work for both (Drones, Missiles, Plasma Beam, Unibeam) are bad anchors. I can only think of Strider with Vajra.
OH I DUNNO, MAYBE A CERTAIN HALF DEMON THAT EVERYONE BUT YOU USES? OR MAYBE A CERTAIN COSMIC BEING PERHAPS?
Also I’m uploading the unblockable OS video now. Will update.
edit: Putting it in the video thread
How is Doom a bad anchor exactly? :\
