I just got UMVC3 for the xbox360, im alright in some online matches, i can pull off some combos here and there but my main issue is trying to approach my opponent with slow characters such as Dr Doom. every time i attempt to hit my opponent, i get countered with combos that drain 75% of my health. can anyone give me any advice on how to start a match?
Learn movement options for your characters. Doom’s best ways to approach are tri dash Ms and foot dives.
Doom’s zoning isn’t terrible actually, against some characters you can actually just force them to come to you with Plasma Beam/Air Photon Shot.
You lost at the character screen. Try again
No but seriously, you need to cover your approach with assists otherwise no one will respect it
^ Well that too, but also the thing most people tend to forget about is their character’s movement and what buttons to hit/when/where to hit with etc
For those who are wondering, my team for most fights are vergil, wesker, and Dr Doom. I do well with both vergil and wesker but im trying to use Dr Doom more other than just using him for his hidden missiles assist.
I’m not a doom player, so I really don’t know a nice way to approach
try using some nice assists to guide you while you approach so you can be able to go in for a nice combo
If you are playing Doom on anchor then you really don’t have any great approach options. Just Derp Dive. I’d go with a keepaway game in that position but unfortunately Doom’s keep away isn’t so good that he can win with it if he doesn’t have the life lead first. :\
Doom’s fly is pretty nice cheese, so i’d probably work on his flight movements if i were you. Also make sure that you use your hidden missiles in sporadic fashion since you have him anchor.
Why not change your team order to Vergil/Doom/Wesker? Not sure why you wouldn’t use Wesker anchor for obvious reasons, and for the fact that Doom isn’t your best.
