so i was wondering what the tiers for the viable teams are.
i dont play marvel all that hardcore so i really would rather hear other more experienced player’s opinions.
For a list like this to have some sort ov worth you’d have to consider that the player is top-notch and near-flawless. Otherwise normally free matches like MSP vs Scrub would end in Scrub’s favor due to lack ov execution/knowledge in the MSP players’ part. You also have to go by the amount ov players that pick certain teams in todays metagame (there is a hella lot ov MSP activity folks).
Tier 3
-Clockw0rk (Storm and Sent variants)
-Scrub (all variants)
-IM/Sent/Cable
-IM/Cable/Doom
Other teams that have potential:
-BH/Cable/Doom (or Cyke)
-Doom/Storm/Sent
-BH/Storm/Sent
-Doom/BH/Sent (or Cyke)
You also have to take into account what each character brings to the table when it comes to the teams they’re in. Magnus and IM have the One-Touch Kill factor, Mag/Storm and Storm/Sent have 100% DHC kills, Sent can potentially kill off 2/3rds ov MSP when his unblockable setups are done flawlessly, Combofiend (with 3 meters) can kill just about anybody…
I will not go on but you should see where I’m going with all this…if there are any objections I’m open for debate…
There is no good way to do this…single character tiers or team tiers…its just not possible…watching videos and playing will help you decide what team is best for you than any team tier thread.
each team variates depending on player…and certain teams counter others…(like scrub vs watts or clockwork vs combofiend or matrix vs clockwork, list goes on and on and on) yet good players can win seemingly very hard matchups (scrub vs storm/sent/aa) even though theory says “x” team should win, “y” wins. its all skill level.
I’ll fix MSCyke to Tier 2…but Watts stays for the sole reason that the meta is focused around mostly MSP…and Watts is more than capable ov countering that team. I already stated that all this was solely opinion in my part.
the way i figure it santhrax is top because of storm/sent versatility + commando damage and space control fucking up a ton of shit. the commando assist is extremely dominating and can easily force a team with a lesser assist into the corner, basically seems like that team can deal with anything and only needs one opening to halfway end the match.
sscable doesnt control space as well, but if you get snapped out its a 3 man team, which makes it strong anyways.
mss is just damage + being a 3 man team.
i would probably wanna put combofiend into the top part as well, seeing as a ton of damage can come off of an ironman assist hit + being a 3 man team + controlling a ton of space. mainly the reason i dont wanna put ducdo/rowtron/combofiend into a tier 1 spot is it doesnt seem to me too many people use them besides their creators. oh and rowtron has a problem of controlling space and getting safe tag outs.
if anything in high level play i would guess at scrub/clops loses to anything MS, unless starting sent, but i just think cable has too hard a time competing with MS players nowadays.
basically if anyone was wondering, i wanted to know what tier the top teams would be in if you compared an overall matchup chart.
i think msp is kinda a wildcard team because it seems to me that its worst matchups are at least 5/10, its best matchups being better. plus a possibility of sometimes getting hit as you’re rushing with magneto or losing magneto early and having a team thats basically all pixie characters means if mag is lost early, it’ll b harder to win.
This topic seems way too ethereal. Generating a tier list of characters is difficult enough (at least once moving beyond the gods), but classifying teams which are not played by the same players is nearly impossible in my opinion. Having said that I would put MSP, Santhrax, MSS, and Row up at the top, with many others nipping on the aforementioned team’s heels.
Too many good teams in marvel to make a solid list so I’d do something like, undisputed top then everything else.
I like msp, thrax, matrix and combofiend @ the top. Tony starks is too serious :looney:
Stuff like msc, sscable, duc, BH assorted teams, ro, mss, scrubs are all good teams but whats the point after the top? game is just too deep and characters take a huge amount of time to master like duc winning 2k5 with spiral. So do you put spiral ahead of most characters based on potential of one player, or do you take the effectiveness of a team through out the entire nation and rank them that way?
