Just like Commando…who needs a good Dante?
This ain’t the old days man. Unless your point character play is SO oppressive that no one’s getting to your last characters, you need to be at least SOMEWHAT competent with all of your characters.
I disagree you can xfactor and fraud it up pretty effectively.

10 hour VoD filled with Danke? my heart is about to explode.
check out the second half after like 7hours, gottnoskill comes in and bodies me with viper for a good set and then we embarrass ourselves by playing dante.
don’t know if this was posted or not
Lol, ok the end looked pretty damn fun. I could never bring myself to learn Magneto properly though. If he had any sort of synergy with Spiderman aside from the guard break that’d definitely be different.
There is not a character in this game who doesn’t benefit from having Disruptor assist.
I beg to differ. Disruptor is borderline useless for quite a few characters in this game, notably rushdown characters that can’t get across the screen fast enough to benefit from its coverage(or can’t stay in someone’s face after using Disruptor to close in). Zoning characters can get great mileage out of the assist, but Spiderman is neither a zoning or a rushdown character and his lack of chip and mixup options make him heavily reliant on hit confirms, making Disruptor a sub-optimal assist for him. In fact, I’d probably take any other beam assist in the game for Spidey over Disruptor(this is true for other characters too, btw).
The speed and durability of disruptor is what makes it so great. If you learn to counter call with it and pre emptively call it you can shut down alot of characters natural ways to protect assists. And once you start doing that you’re half the way there to shutting down their neutral game.
Its also amazing at dealing with situations where you are reset in the air or if you pushblock after superjumping and have access to an assist.
Its a quick sharp shock from full screen, that stops anything grounded. Its really a full screen poke for footsies. I agree its not the best assist for someone like spiderman but every character can do good things with it. I wouldnt say its one of Haggars best assists either but the most successful haggar player, ranmasamma, uses it to great affect.
I see what you’re saying, but in that case greyhound can do similar things and it’s a far better choice for Spidey since he can confirm off them well and has good synergy with Hawkeye overall. In fact, the best assist I’ve used with Spidey to shut down neutral and confirm into combos at the same time was Rising Fang(Iron Fist’s assist). It’s fast, nullifies projectiles, has a great angle(this is the best thing about it imo) and does crazy damage for an assist. It’s greatest drawback is the fact that it’s attached to…well…yeah. You don’t know how disappointed I was after playing IF for months after ultimate dropped that I had to finally come to terms with reality and say “damn…this character sucks”.
Spencer doesn’t benefit from Disruptor at all
While greyhound assist may be better for spider-man in some ways, disruptor is still pretty nice for spider-man. It hits both the point character and assist which is good when you fighting hidden missiles because that is one of the assists that helps in catching spider-man. Also, some characters like spider-man can duck right under triple arrow. Plus since it is fast, spider-man can use it in pressure strings and he can use it to confirm off of IOH j.
's. Magneto has a really easy TAC infinite from any direction so there’s that.
El Gato be styling with some modok and some strange.
That impractical xf1 combo with the bomb was so unbelievable.
Spencer benefits pretty heavily from disruptor as a counter call and its fast enough that spencers weakness at covering assists gets mitigated slightly. Overall unibeam is much better but id say disruptor is his 3rd or 4th best assist.
disruptor is a counter call and ground clearer , not getting a combo off the assist call doesn’t mean it’s useless.

Disruptor is godlike for Spencer, and it does help him for combos too.
I know it doesn’t give him an extra 80k with full HSD unlike other assists, but its still pretty good.
For example, you can do Overhead + Disruptor and get a full non scaled punish without using your wall bounce (safe on block too).
You can also use it for safe block strings like you would with Hawkeye. Far C + Disruptor, zip is safe on block, can lead into a zip loop if it combos, and its damage is just a tiny bit short from what you get from starting with launch, C, zip down/forward, C, 80k.
Its also great for fuzzy guard setups.
I also think its not his best assist, but still amazing nonetheless, the definition of fairness.
To be honest, I consider the team on my avatar to be the fairest team in the game.
Holy shit, that combo/reset at 1:45 was awesome. El Gato is certainly one of the most creative combo makers in the scene right now.
