You can run spencer 2nd and use his slant shot to set up airtight unblockables. The spacing is a little tricky towards the corners, but midscreen it’s really easy.
whatever into logtrap, dash, jump forward, call the assist, j.S, land, boulder trap, dash forward, c.Lx3, boulder trap hits, do whatever.
The best part is the c.L will actually combo for 1 hit then uncombo right as the boulder trap hits so its a little bit harder to push block. The only reason I stopped running this is because people eventually learned you could hard tag right out of it and my reactions suck so I could never react to the hard tag.
well seeing as i threw the spencer idea out of my head(not enough mixups w/o using up his wall bounce) i was using slant shot and log setups. but i battle back n forth with cap/doom as teammates im still looking into the possibility of replacing doom with magneto or even ammy for that lockdown assist.
but with the cap/doom/coon team i run chargin star/missles-beam/logs. rockets shrapnel trap is good but really situational, it seems good with characters like haggar since he can drop kick you a finite amount of times and still get a THC in. but im open to suggestions for a 3rd
ammy??? hmm i gotta look into this ammy isn’t really my forte(i just feel she’s over complicated but fun)and Dante too weasel shot may be a good sub for cold star
Will have to check out RR/Doom/Ammy! Are they played in that order for a specific reason? I feel weird sticking RR out there first because trying to feel out the opponent with a character that can be downed in one combo by (nearly) every character with one bar is just plain scary to me.
Also, I may have an excuse to grab some costumes for UMvC3, finally. Absolutely adore Amaterasu’s costume (Darkstalkers in da haus!). Anyway, this may just be a pipedream but I think if someone could get Felicia/Ammy/RR to work on a team together they’d be a golden god! TEAM CUTE SHIT FOR THE WIN.
Well because both assists are absolutely freaking ridiculously good for rocket, Doom while he can use Rocket’s assists doesn’t get what RR gets from him and he can function pretty well with just Cold Star (I don’t think it’s a stretch to say it’s his best assist at this point, even over Vajra). Ammy is a top anchor, she’s just great, she can use up your remaining meter but isn’t necessarily reliant on it as she can build a meter for 1.2mil combos in xf3 off pretty much any confirm.
Meh, like it or not, pretty much anybody using Rocket Raccoon is going to be compared to Kusoru in some way or another as long as the character remains this unused. Whoever gets seen using a char/doing a piece of tech on the biggest stage always gets associated with it even if they aren’t the best/didn’t create the tech.
Agreed but having the exact team is kinda funny.
I was just making an innocent joke. C’mon, it’s like a drummer just randomly having the same drum set as Neil Peart. harhar
As the tag implies: Character crisis time once more and I have decided that I want dat raccoon all over my face.
Chris (Gunfire) / RR (Log) / Spencer (Slant Shot)
or
Chris (Grenade) / RR (Spitfire) / Spencer (Slant Shot)
Which works better? Contemplating running RR first though, little dude is more fun than he has any right to be and skating around the screen dropping j.S everywhere is just <3
I use an almost similar team, except I use Hiryu instead of Spencer.
Anyways, Rocket Raccoon likes projectile assists, so give him Chris’ Gunfire. As for the raccoon’s assists, I think Chris can make good use of any of them. They help control horizontal space, so I guess use whichever you’re more comfortable with.
Also, keep Rocket second on that team. Chris is a great battery/meatshield and they both have decent DHC synergy. You can also have Chris use Prone Shot on top of a Mad Hopper mine just to be annoying. I don’t know anything about Spencer since I’m terrible with him, but I guess you can use Slant Shot as an anti-air/combo-extender.
This is coming from a mediocre Marvel player, so maybe someone more experienced would have better advice than mine.
Welp tried Tron but don’t like it lol So I did some digging around. Trying to see if one of these two teams work.
Storm (Whirlwind) Rocket Raccoon (Log) Hawkeye (Arrows)<—Uses Hawkeye anchor with Storm on point as the battery character with good DHCs. My only issue is that Storm’s damage scaling is WTF at times.
The other team is Rocket Raccoon (Log) Amaterasu (Cold Star) Strider (Vajra)<—Uses Orbs and really Ammy could be used as a second anchor (if I didn’t suck so bad lol) Teleport mixups with Cold Star lockdown. My only issue is the teams health and damage is low barring the usage of resets but I like it cause I just like the characters. Which yeah I know isn’t a good reason but I want to at least have characters I want to put time in but yeah.
So those are the two teams. I still had the old one I posted of Vergil (Rapid Slash) Rocket Raccoon (Log) Hawkeye (Arrows) but point Vergil gives me problems don’t really know how to utilize him and I rather have point RR with Cold star and Vajra backing me.
PS: I have bad team identity crisis lol It’s hard trying to make the team revolve around RR rather than RR being support but that’s just me.
