“Hey Justin, You da best.” -Humbag
lawl fuck it i have my team LOL zero/dante/virgil with doom on the side. sorry pills i jacked ur team but added zero LOL
I’m down to go tomorrow if I have a ride. James, you wanna stay over tonight and then hit up Zens tomorrow?
Doom with Strider assist is crazy good, and Strider is a fucking amazing LvL 3 XFC character.
I’ve spent all morning (from about 10:30 til now) learning Vergil a bit. Still hella new to him and Dormammu, but tonight I’ll be running with Deadpool/Dormammu/Vergil and a little of my old team.
See you guys at 8!! Bring set ups please!

Task is soon much better
I dont think I can stay because I gotta get the car back to my dad in the morning cause he’s going to the football game.
Im leaving soon.
So… Is that a “no” on rides then, err… lol
I can get you.
Thanks for coming out tonight guys. It was hella fun! Nova is sick.
GGs last night. Where is everyone else? Was it just because it was a umvc3 gathering?
Hey, got some new tech to share with everyone. When Hawkeye does Gimlet, do hard tag during the super flash. Hawkeye misses.
James if you can, try to make a video of punishing Hawkeye and killing him for a random super. I wanna see SRK chew on that when they proclaim a top tier.
Thanks for hosting, gents. :tup:
James, it was inspiring watching your Nova. lol I’m going to hit the lab and start working on effectively using that instant overhead. I’d say that the biggest problem I currently have in MVC is mobility. I’m still trying to learn how to correctly move around the screen using wave/air dashes and how to bait and punish.
Overall, great times were had. Brock, I like that Deadpool/Virgil/Dorm team – hella grimy. lol
Julian/Joe/Ton: Thanks for coming out. You guys have got some nice stuff on the brain, I can tell. Keep practicing and fine-tuning, and you’ll be golden.
some ppl gone home for thanksgiving~~~ I was gonna come but i was too tired and fingers sore from grinding out ultimat stuff~~~
GGs yesterday guys. Twas fun. Definitely lots of stuff to think about.
Yeah dude, it’s always a pleasure learning from and playing with and around some of the best the Midwest has to offer(yeah, that does include you, even in case you may not think of it yourself). It’s always worth the ride down. It’s been a tough year for my brother and I, but things are beginning to look up again. Our focus is to come back as stronger players within the next few months of getting fully settled in, as for Joe and I have unfortunately not been able to properly train in our own unrestricted environment for quite some time. Being in that environment once again will allow us to push ourselves to our full potential. I’m pretty free right now, but I will not quit improving.
I’m such a stubborn fighting game player(probably more of a stubborn individual), as the MVC series has been one my most difficult fighting games to play at a high level, but I cannot accept not grasping the concept of this game. I’m too stubborn to let this obstacle stop me. I like the challenge, so I’ll use this as an opportunity to see how much I can grow. :tup:
Ink I will. I can get the tag to hit but I couldn’t get frank to combo afterit. I also couldn’t punish air or ground gimlet if the tag misses. Some chars can combo easier off tag hitting though.
Ok I th
got a suprisingly effective new team with nova, frank, doom
nova has an interesting DHC where if you DHC his air super kind of early they fall into a hard knockdown which means:
from the start of the game if i hit with nova, i build a bar then air super, dhc into frank tools of survival super and then photo+doom
its awesome
I’m definitely going to stick with Wesker/Nova/Strange for a while. I’m seeing a lot of potential in their synergy. Currently, I’m using:
(point) Wesker - Samurai Edge
(assist) Nova - Centurion Rush
(anchor) Strange - Daggers of Dennak
Wesker and Nova set each other up for some really good mix ups using Centurion Rush as a mid-screen overhead. From full-screen, Strange’s Daggers track the opponent, so it allows Wesker to effectively get in safely. As long as Strange doesn’t get hit, the Daggers will even break combos should Wesker get caught. I still have a lot of work to do in order to make sure I’m assisting safely; I still find that I’m calling Strange at times when Nova is the correct assist. Nova is a strong second character, mainly because of his mobility, damage potential, and the fact that he can easily hit confirm into super from pretty much anywhere onscreen and then DHC into Strange. I’m **LOVING **Nova’s j. A instant overhead. Again, I need to make sure I’m using it safely, but I think that’ll just come with practice. Strange feels really good as an anchor. He seems to have one of the most useful lvl. 1 supers in the game. His :qcf: + 2 attacks instantly tracks anywhere on screen, does good damage, and can be brainlessly confirmed into X-Factor, which can then be comboed with another super. I still need to learn how to properly use Strange once he’s on his own though. He seems like a strange (pun intended) blend of keep-away and a little rush-down due to his countless projectiles and his teleports, which place him immediately in front, behind, and on top of the opponent depending on the button strength used.
James, what BnBs are you using for Nova right now? I feel like I should be doing more once I score an opening. I’ve been using:
2B, 2C, launch -> j. B, B, C, Nova Flight, B, B, C, S -> Nova Smash, launch -> j. C, Super Nova
If that doesn’t kill, I tend to DHC into Strange, but I’ve seen you [and others] doing some very high damage stuff with solo Nova. ASSIST ME!!! LOL
As one Strange player to an aspiring Strange player, he’s best as a point or second character. his safest blockstrings end -8 against medium sized and below characters so he needs assists. Raw teleport cancels get punished easier than Wesker’s. You’ll also never set up graces while he has no assists to help him.
And Daggers won’t help Wesker get in. I suggest Bolts of Ballsack since it gives Wesker a free H teleport since everyone ducks the bolts to avoid getting hit.
Interesting…
People have been telling me that the Daggers seem to help, but I am certainly open to trying the Bolts of Scrotum. Would my team be more effective, then, if I had Strange/Nova/Wesker? Or maybe even Wesker/Strange/Nova…
Definitely open to suggestions :tup:
