spencer gets very subpar assists from that team and likewise for dante and vergil. meanwhile magneto is one of their best assists and he’s also one of the few dangerous xf3 anchors. the choice is pretty obvious, imo.
I’m thinking vergil is a better anchor. Better use of meter and better mixups. And weasel shot is a great assist for spencer, rapid slash is a great combo extender.
Both teams are fine as for damage output though, the spencer team rocks. The magnus team just has some better rushdown.
It’s all personal preference.
spencer needs a fast fullscreen assist to get across the screen… vergil is ass for that and dante doesnt go far enough. if you want a vergil anchor team there has to be real synergy… SDV just isn’t as cheap as VDM or DVM
Idk. I’ve been using spencer dante so that might be why I’m biased. I love that team but I can’t really argue with you since I’ve never used vdm or dvm. I guess its up to adrian.
Thanks for the input guys. I went lurking around and many people run those teams and i cant play mag anchor for shit lol My cat also chewed the cabling on my arcade stick yesterday so it nonfuntional. Have to order a new one. Feeling like dante, ironman, sent . I kinda like repulsor blast assist with dante.
Any thoughts on Dante/Doom?
The Dante unblockable works with high assists, right?
solid pairing, incredible neutral game with missiles
yes you can do unblockables with highs but its not practical for someone like dante
Unblockables? Using what moves?
i tried to quote maverick for that part lol, phone being dumb
vergil supposedly has self unblockables though so maybe we’ll find something soon
Do you guys think Dante + Phoenix would work in ultimate??? I was thinking the other day if there was a way to do an “efficient” Dante combo into a TAC. Every combo I’ve tried they end up flipping out before I can get the exchange… any ideas???
If this is possible then I was thinking you could do some of those resets FChamp likes to do… either exchange, or do Hammer to counter the tech
After a bounce, just do launch, H, TAC? Also Dante is an awesome battery character.
Dante can build two bars solo and almost 2.5 with an assist like sent or morrigan.
I have a list of teams here and I’m having trouble picking one that works for me. Currently I have:
Chris/Doom (Missiles)/Dante(Jam)
Dante/Doom(Beam)/Sent(Drones) – I’d say my best, currently, but will try out the following teams:
Dante/Doom(Missiles)/Akuma(Tatsu)
Dante/Doom(Missiles)/Taskmaster(Arrows)
Dante/Doom(Missiles)/Phoenix(Whatever works?)
So far I only have experience with the first two teams. I’m currently interested in Phoenix actually since Dante/Doom extensions build so much meter, but I’m still open for a better anchor. Akuma comes second, since I want to replace Sentinel since I can’t really utilize drones (nor Anchor Sentinel) that well yet.
If you play Doom second, the way I see it there are 4 options:
Sentinel, Ammy, Strider, Phoenix. Dante does get an honorable mention though.
I don’t see how tatsu does much for Doom, but Task’s horizontal arrows should more than work well enough for Doom. I might actually have to try that.
So that leaves… Everything but the third team? xD
And sorry, I meant I needed one from among those that had the most synergy I guess. And I needed a solid anchor, probably one who doesn’t have sentinel’s difficulty with opening people up. If it helps, I also enjoy playing a Wolverine/Dante/Vergil team. It’s just my style of play.
Lol one thing I can say is dante with drones is awesome but I don’t like my dante drone teams because I have sent on anchor.
If your playing to win though the 2 best would be dante, doom akuma and dante doom red haired bitch. Dante can do great damage and build ridiculous meter with doom assist and with akuma you can have even more opportunities like really late grapples.
Task and chris are fun but they aren’t always that reliable when it comes to it. Especially not task on anchor, its really rare that task actually makes a really smooth comeback unless your name is Dj housen.
Beam and drones although awesome, I would not use. I’d use missles and drones. The only advantage of plasma beam is zoning because drones give much better mixups and lockdown. You can use doom for combo extensions and if you are lucky enough to land a j:h: w.o using your assists you can get amazing results.
Theres an opinion on every team.
I’ve been messing around with Dante (a) / Dorm (a) / Doom (b) as of late. The team is fun and is centered around mostly Dante. Both assists not only extend combos but serve a purpose in neutral game. Resets are very possible, but are in the few (from what I’ve found in recent readings). The DHCs are effective in most was, however most of Doom’s are, iffy. Looking for a bit of feed back and general thoughts related to it.
Ammy or Strider then. If you pick Ammy use Hidden Missiles, if you pick Strider use Plasma Beam. I wrote a bit on this at the top of page 15. I prefer Ammy.
Thanks. That helps a lot. Might go start learning Ammy/Phoenix for the Dante/Doom/? Shell. Now it’s just gonna be a matter of who among my 3 teams is best (The chris team, the wolvie team, the dante team).
