Disruptor functions as the quickest full screen poke in the game. Of course it’s fucking good, and you could argue it’s a top 3-5 defensive assist. That’s why every character in the game can use it.
The biggest problems with disruptor is that it doesn’t help at all in durability wars, and because it puts your opponent in an airborn state that has little hitstun, some characters have trouble converting off it on a consistent basis. It’s why some characters (Zero, Spencer, Nova) prefer triple arrow or another beam over disruptor.
Zero actually can get full benefit from disruptor. One of the teams I used before going full dark-side with ZMC was Zero/Dante/Magneto. The team is unique in that it can be played in virtually any order and still have:
A very capable point character that can use both assists well
A reliable DHC character that can support the point character
A capable anchor that can run comebacks if need be with meter and XF
Literally the only issue with the team is that it’s “too fair” in comparison to ZMC and some other top tier teams. Still a very good/cheap team, and I believe there are quite a few notable players that use it in some form.
Zero can definitely use disruptor, but he has trouble converting off of it if it snipes an airborn opponent (Zero’s small enough that his s.M won’t reach, s.H and S will often come out fast enough, and it’s really f’ing hard to try and hit confirm it into an air normal.), or an opponent far enough away since Zero’s ground mobility is kind of ass. Triple arrow/other good projectiles will provide Zero with more durability (great for Songenmu/fireball wars), longer blockstun, and Zero is one of the few characters that doesn’t give a shit about assists scaling his combos.
The only reason you should put him with Disruptor over other similar assists is either due to matchup issues, your other character plays better with Mags, or you want to play an overall superior character in Mags if Zero dies compared to the other options.
Isn’t Isedelica(the inventor of Vergil’s SS loop concept) Japanese? I’d say most of the tech/strategies that contribute to how Vergil is played today came from Japan. Btw who came up with the round-trip glitch?
I’ve seen plenty of tech come from American players, since when did Japan become king of that area of Marvel 3? And if you want variety, you have SoCal.
Actually in durability wars it’s pretty strong since the speed it comes out at allows you to dash up block a projectile while summoning it to get disruptor snuck in between their attacks, then you have frame advantage to either get your own durability on screen, or get in there to stop them from starting their bullshit again.
South America does use some of the craziest teams to great effect. See Brian Kasugano, Paulow3b, El Gato. Lets pretend Socal is in South America too I mean they’re pretty close.
Japan gets all the credit for all the overblown tech that people freak out about then doesn’t end up mattering, OMG tac xfactor glitch is gonna make phoenix bottom 2.
Norcal, NY and Texas, Midwest, Georgia every US region etc… has top players with top tiers. Who knows why? My guess is that top players from these regions are generally more obsessed with the paper then the rest of the world.
And Europe has commentators with cool sounding accents.
That guy clearly has no idea how petty and stupid competitive FPS communities are. They’re even more fractured than the FGC. Like, you can’t even say there’s a competitive FPS community. There’s a competitive CS community, a competitive Quake community, a competitive TF2 community, a competitive whatever-the-fuck community, but they don’t all get together at the same tournaments, play each others games and use the same forums.
This guy has obiovsly never seen a COD fan and battlefield fan talk to ach other if he says that only FGC players talk about one game not being a "real " game.
