Well, my thoughts on that team are this:
Wolverine is a tricky rush down character, and with a log trap behind him, he benefits greatly.
Rocket can get a hit in pretty fast, but killing is a problem.
Virgil has no trouble killing anybody ever, has a dumb crossover counter, and behind rocket could probably be very scary.
What I’m looking for, is where this breaks down, if anywhere. So if anyone played one of those characters on their teams, they could offer some insight on the matter.
RR shouldn’t be trying to kill, use the raw tag combo.
Thus virgil third, as i described, though not as clear as i should have.
Er yeah, I mean just remember dat~
It’s a pretty good team setup imo. I don’t exactly USE Vergil but it’s not hard to tell what to do with him.
Yeah, it’s pretty much a standard that RR loves second. To me, he’s actually the leader of his team, he brings them all in line and ties them together.
I am using a Trish (high voltage), Rocket Raccoon (log trap) and Doctor Doom (missiles). However I have been having difficulty playing against my friend who almost always has doom with missiles and often the strider vajra assist or sentinel drones. The basic plan is to keep away until I can get a hit confirm with missiles or log trap into the unblockable for a kill. However I seem to be having difficulty since it seems easy to horizontally space me out since log trap does not have much projectile durability and the missles+vajra assists keep trish out of the air. This makes both rush down and keep away very difficult (although this is partically because we have only been able to play online lately)
Do you guys feel the spitfire assist for RR would be a better choice for these kinds of matchups? Or should I just stick to pendulum?
Spitfire goes under most assists. It goes under sent drones and doom beam. If RR gets hit it stays too. For matchups like that spitfire is great.
On the opposite side of this do you feel peekaboo would help the team at all? Currently when trish is still alive I use high voltage for left/right mixups with his teleport. But when a character attacks peekaboo it causes that attack to whiff, similar to the armor that claymore trap can create for low attacks. I was thinking this assist causing whiffs could maybe protect rocket racoons traps or I could use peekaboo for some close range mixups. But I am unsure about this since high voltage is nice since rocket can easily get spaced our if you aren’t careful.
I use low voltage. I tried using her trap assists a long time ago but I feel like RR gets soo much mileage out of a projectile assist. Have you tried using Plasma beam so that losing low voltage doesn’t hurt you?
I did find however that it’s actually difficult for RR to confirm off of Peekaboo because it holds the character out of RR’s reach. Maybe you have to Rom combo?
I play Vergil, RR (Pendulum) , Dr.Strange (eyes of .)
Work like a charm when I get my set-up.
Hey guys I need some help setting my team order. I got Logan/RR/Ammy right now, but I don’t know if I should put RR on anchor or not. Does Rocket benefit more with level 3X or cold star assist?
I think that Ammy benefits more from X-factor lvl 3, AND RR benefits more from Cold Star.
A weird setup I found with Raccoon and Haggar.
The base of it is a raw tag combo off a Raccoon Spring when the opponent is at the screen edge:
:f::h:,:qcb::l:+:m: (tag Haggar) :l:,
,:dp::l:
(use M+H spring when facing left)
The setup is when Haggar is on point, where you chain a ton of invincible shit together until something hits:
Several things can happen:
[LIST]
[]Opponent gets hit by Lariat. Haggar combos off it and kills them.
[]Opponent gets hit by RFF. Haggar combos off it and kills them.
[]Opponent gets hit by the Spring. Haggar raw tag hits, combos into L,M,dp+L and kills them.
[]Opponent blocks the Spring. If this happens there are a few more options:
I think Haggar works well because he ignores [S]damage[/S] hitstun scaling. I’m pretty sure you can get most other character’s raw tag animation to work with log trap if you can’t get it to work with Mad Hopper.
I am thinking of these two teams in some order:
RR (Pend), Akuma (Tatsu) , Hawk (Hori Arrows)
Akuma (Tatsu), RR (Pend, Hawk (Hori Arrows)
I am still iffy on what assist I should use for RR. But the team idea seems nice.
Hey guys. I’m gonna give Rocket Raccoon a try on my Joe team as opposed to Ammy. I’d like to have an easier way to get confirms basically. Who are some good candidates for Joe/X/Raccoon. I don’t know much about RR shells. Possibly Chris. Joe builds meter and Chris can link supers as well as zone decently with Log Trap. Please drop some suggestions thanks!
well frank would be the first person i say, because i play that team to. Shopping cart is a good get off me assist. And easy to hit confirm from if u plink dash in and slide. Mag’s Destruptor helps with the zoning and keep away, and get dirty cross ups with RR with it. Or taskmaster, easy character to learn H.arrows is a good assist, and u can go for infinite bomb set ups when your player 1
I dont want to steal Kusorus team = /
Good, don’t, it’s not great. RR anchor not very scary.
At least we do have a way to level Frank up without TACing with Joe.
I think Tonosama’s idea of having Ammy behind RR is an even better idea. You get bullshit unblockables because of ammy assist, plus if RR dies, you get a pretty good anchor.
Btw, I’ve picked up Kusoru’s team. It’s pretty cheap, if you can get Frank to level 4+, but it loses to beam teams I feel. Especially if they like to just zone you out. I’ve got people pressuring me to make a decision on a main team, and to them this is the best team. True, Frank is cheaper than Cap, and if I wanted to play competitively, I feel I need at least one cheap character, but I’m not sure if I like Frank all that much. There’s too many problems with that character.
Also, there is a hard tag combo w/ Joe -> Frank for a level 3. It’s hard as hell to time though.
Whatever I end up with going, RR will definitely be in the team.
