We are the Guardians of the Galaxy - Rocket Raccoon Team Building Thread

Yup. Took a little while, but I did it. I was going to add it to my video I’m working on that showcases my team.

If you can get Tron down she’d be a great point character. The only thing I can see wrong with her on that team is her meter usage, I usually see Tron’s using like 2 to 3 meters in a combo, and I seldom see a Tron reset, just kill combos. But yeah she has good damage output and high health, she not bad, but neither are She-Hulk and Thor I just can’t see where RR assists would help with them two or their assists helping RR that much. G Fire is such a good GTFO assist.

Yeah but didn’t G-Fire get the nerf bat. I don’t even see anyone use it it’s like everyone uses the Boulder assist now. And from what I see from Tron she builds meter like a beast if you can extend combos

It did, but it’s still super good, it’s no Haggar lariat, but as long as the flame comes out, she’s not getting hit by anything but a super. It’s a better defensive assist than boulder (better for combos) imo. I play against a Tron on a fairly regular basis and I always get blown up by G Fire when rushing down.

I’ll keep that in mind lol i just know the hitbox was extended so I’ll look into it.

Did you draw this or did you just copy,paste and edited it?

I played in another tournament on saturday. Here’s my match its the first one

P.S I got fucking screwed over so bad but hey fuck it nothing i can do about it now

The thing is, Magento can actually make use of log trap whereas She-Hulk can’t to my knowledge. Thor probably could, but you are making everything hard on yourself if you play Thor AND Rocket on one team.

Also, ROM loops aren’t all that common any more, blast loops are far easier and do more damage, ROM I think builds slightly more meter, but not enough to make it better imo.

I drew it. Everything was made by me except the floor, but I had to heavily edit it to have it match the scene. But yeah I drew, colored, rendered the planets, and created the space background.

Yeah but I have little to no clue how to do ROM loops and they’re not that common to my knowledge lol but I saw Thor and Rocket being used before but ehhhhh. I was considering Tron Bonne cause of her meter gain and high health otherwise I would just pick Mags and call it a day but 3 characters with around 800k health a piece is not fun to run which I have in the past

high health is a bad reason to pick a character because a lot of the relevant characters will kill you off any stray touch anyway. Tron is very limited and apart from making hitconfirms safe, I don’t know what log would do for her. Her assist isn’t bad, but RR could really use something to either control more space or lock down the opponent a lot better. Tron is also not a standout character on point.

Umm high health isn’t always a bad reason considering low health gets you killed quicker. Let alone she’s a good point character and Log extends her combos which is what Tron is about. And she has ways of making hit-confirms safe if you know how to play her. As far as assists goes she’s not meant for assists anyway hence she’s a point character.

She can hit confirm log into S ground bounce just off the top of my head.

And low health teams not fun to play?! BLASPHEMY!

It’s not their not fun to play I’ve just want something different lol Like almost all of my teams are like around the 800k-750k mark almost with a few exceptions.

But Tron is getting nowhere without good assists backing her up. Anyone can hitconfirm OFF of log trap, that’s obvious, but I’m not really sure what Tron can do with it to make it effective like flight characters or Joe can for example. I didn’t mean she would use it to open people up, that’s exactly what log is not good at (unless you are playing someone who has little experience against the assist.) For it to to effectively open people up you need a way to either make it ambiguous or to bait your opponent into it.

Tron isn’t a bad character, but it’s mostly a question of whether you want a GOOD team, or you want a team that works. Yeah, that team will probably work but it wont be very optimal for either character at all.

Ah, I totally forgot to give my thoughts on that tight drawing SA360 did: it’s tight, even though I hate Hulk and Dr. Doom like the plague because of this game.

Anyways, my final thoughts on Tron/RR/Ammy and why I think it may have some potential to be good, it’s up to the player to make 'em really great. Like Tomo said, unless someone is walking into log traps or air dash happy, I wouldn’t use log trap with this team since Tron is good enough at punishing that on her own with lots of spinning and rocket punchey things on top of your usual air grabs into full combos. So, unless you can use log trap into servbot lockdown rape, into super madness, or as some other combo utility I’m not thinking of (it’s quite early) use log trap so it will at least scare off people air dashing and even teleporting (log covers everything from up top to the front of her and her spin should cover behind her for guys like Vergil and an up back spin for a sneaky Wesker, so hah I did find a use Tomo). Ammy can just do her thing as anchor and like someone said earlier, Tron does build meter like a beast so, yeah, RR and Ammy can do they’re things if they have to. So, yeah, I think it actually makes for a really good team.

If anyone has anything to add, let it out, if she’s a solid compadre for RR, good, if not, okay, let’s all just reach a consensus on how good so we can go on making cooler stuff with RR in it. That’s right, I want some more art, or even like a RR waifu pillow with realistic pot belly, make it happen.

You have to be very lucky for it to line up with a teleport as an assist lol. Main thing is, with that team you are running a Tron who doesn’t have her biggest weakness covered, getting in. Once you are in, Cold Star lets her go crazy, but good luck with that.

Hi! I’ve only started playing Raccoon recently to back up Tron plus Log trap lets me maximize her combos. He’s clearly
the weakest link in my team coz I’m still a novice at using him. I’ll get there though with more practice! :slight_smile:

if you guys care to take a look, here’s a video of my scrubby Raccoon. (it’s a whole playlist. but the rest of the matches have me playing Magneto instead of RR save for 3 other matches.)

-I figured I’d show you guys this one since you’re talking about Tron/Coon anyways.

Originally I play Magneto second, but Raccoon’s assist is so much better. I figured I have to really learn how to play him for this team to work (and so he’s not just an assist character.)
I’ve been learning alot lurking these past few days and I hope I can learn more. Good day, guys!

What’s with all this Tron/RR recently XD One of the guys I play with uses them too… or he did anyway.

I don’t really understand how your team is meant to function once Tron is dead, seems like you are relying very heavily on her and even then, you don’t have very optimal assists for her. You play really well though, you mightn’t be doing boulder loops all over the place, but you are probably a better Raccoon than me already lol.

Only thing I’d suggest is to control space with c.H xx stuff more. It lets you be incredibly annoying and control a large amount of the screen. Also, I know you know this, but don’t rawport, just don’t :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow I like how the perception and scope of this is so limited at times. I’m using the assists to extend Tron’s combo’s. Which Log Trap does and Cold Star as well. Seeing Log (if used correctly) can shut down air attempts and Cold Star for locking down the ground. Tron uses her meter building combo’s and such to issue high damage. if she dies I get meter cause of her health let alone ammy or RR with meter is an issue and cold star with RR is like 50/50 mixups out the ass. Again no one here never has fully explore stuff or when it’s introduced “it’s a bad idea” How about I just want to be different and innovative with a team and see how it goes. Also RR and Tron have very good DHC potential so in the scenario that I put RR first (which I don’t like point RR) or RR is in front with Tron second with a lot of meter you can deal out I want to say about 7-9k damage
