it matters how good your joe play is. If your Joe is almost untouchable with the way u move him, u will stay alive longer and have more chances to lvl up frank. If u find your self getting hit alot and loseing joe b4 lvling then use cap. its safer and hes a better character then lvl1-2 frank. plus u can still do the cheap long assist and roll with cap anyway. But just because u use a cheaper team, it dont mean your going to win
hey guys a litte help
I playing Shuma (mystic ray) , Task ( horizontal Arrow) Raccon ( Pendulum)
or Shuma (mystic Ray) , Raccon ( Pendulum) Taskmaster ( Horizontal Arrow)
what do you think of this order?
RR 2nd done and u can set up unblockables just like…

^ this. Raccoon is best on 2nd. He’ll let shuma rest a bit when he’s taking a lot of damage. Raccoon + Task Arrows is great.
While this is true, it’s also true that if you don’t have a cheap team at all, the chances of winning go down. Compared to every other team that has Dorm + Doom, and Mag; Dorm with his easy as fk ToD, Doom w/ the BS footdive, and Mag w/ the “I’m going to tri-dash L and when I tri-dash I’ll just hold down forward and mash L… I’m not sure if you’ll get overhead or not, but either way, I’ll convert to a full combo when you get hit” bullshit.
Still, every team should have at least one top tier, or mid-high tier, simply because of what he can achieve for you. My Joe gets caught against zoners, and it’s kind of frustrating. Mainly because I guess I’m not that patient. In any case, I have yet to play in a tournament with this team, so I will decide later.
Is it just me, or is ??? / RR / Ammy becoming a solid shell?
So lately I have been considering picking up Rocket Raccoon. I have been having a hard time with Doom as an anchor(I have been running him on anchor since Ultimate came out, it is just hard to do stuff). So I want to move Doom up to 2nd and run Spidey(Web Ball)/Doom(missiles)/Rocket Raccoon(Log). I like how Spidey and Doom can hit confirm pretty well off of pendulum(as well as pendulum actually helping extend Spider-Man and Doctor Doom’s combos) and it feels that overall, Rocket Raccoon is a better anchor in most situations. Any advice for running an anchor Raccoon? I would like to put as much into my Rocket Raccoon as I can so it would be good to have advice to push me in the right direction for that.
U will have a much harder time coming back with LVL3 raccoon than LVL3 doom. Ive been playing raccoon since the game came out, and its still very hard for me to come back with LVL3 Xfactor
Doom is way better as an anchor than RR. There isn’t even a comparison to be made there, Rocket will struggle much more unassisted than Doom does.
Could a team of Taskmaster (H. arrows)/Rocket Raccoon/Amaterasu (Cold Star) be viable, and what would be the best Raccoon assist for Tasky?
That team looks pretty good overall, both RR and Task use Ammy assist fantastically. Personally I would run RR first there though, you are going to have problems with airborne opponents but your team seems to be built around brutal offense, you have Task arrows for assistport and cold star for unblockables/general pressure, can probably set up some pretty crazy resets there too. The thing I really like about it is the team doesn’t really fall apart with the death of any particular member, as long as you aren’t left with just RR, you should be fine.
As for RR assist, I would probably suggest log, mostly because spitfire would be somewhat redundant with cold star there, you can use cold star as your ‘I don’t give a fuck’ assist with Tasky so you can shield skills whenever the hell you want and you can call out log trap at safe times while zoning to frustrate your opponent and perhaps force them to make a mistake with an easy conversion off the wallbounce.
Hey guys, first post to SRK! Gotta say, nice to be a part of a great fighting game community. Anyways, how does a V.Joe/RR/Deadpool or V.Joe/Frank/RR team sound? I know V.Joe and RR go well, but I’m kinda stuck with finding a 3rd character that I actually want to play. (Sadly, none of the characters I like are top tier. 
)
Depends on your assist choices on those teams, dont worry about tier lists blah blah work hard blah blah
Welcome to SRK
So I’m trying Cap/RR/??? now as pendulum offers so much to cap it’s ridiculous. My issue right now is finding an anchor. I can think of good assist characters but my issue is usually I don’t like that character as anchor. I feel Cap’s decently covered by pendulum assist, so I guess it’s more about what would help RR more. Suggestions?
Sent is an obvious choice for assist but I’m really not comfortable with him as an anchor so I’m trying to avoid that choice. Same with Doom missiles. I really need a character who does well with X-factor and no assists.
My first choices for that team would probably be: Strider, Ammy, Taskmaster, Magneto or you could go Doom but I assume you meant him when you said you don’t like the characters you thought of as anchors.
Cap’s a lot better with spitfire; frame trap charging stars with mixup afterwards.
One of Cap’s major flaws is dealing with run away zoners that can just jump block until they can get away and avoid typical cross ups. Log gives me a very solid way to handle jumping as well as provide more zoning coverage and keep :qcb:+:m: safe for pressure. This is my main reason for using RR (pendulum) with cap. Fighting Trish, Firebrand, and other characters that can play an air zoning game were destroying cap. Also Cap has no mix ups beyond roll, his game focuses on on mid screen zoning and CS pressure so his only way to really break someone open means he needs a good assist to roll with. Plus log + roll or log + under cross CS is amazing
Log’s only going to do oh so much for that, at a certain height it’ll struggle to hit them. Personally? I’d learn Nova, he doesn’t care about Trish/Firebrand at all and he’s not hard to pick up.
Teams I play you could try.
Joe/RR/Arthur
Joe/RR/Task
Joe/RR/Spencer
Joe/RR/Vergil
All four can make decent (Assmaster) to amazing (Spencer, Vergil) use of RR’s raw tag tech.
I couldn’t find a decent combo with taskmaster on raw tag. i capped out at like 670k which isn’t bad, but it’s only like 70k over the normal BnB.
Yeah I was looking at vergil. I’m just really unsure of vergil as an assist. I need to play with it and see how safely i can get it out, cuz on block it’s pretty nice. Spencers another case where I’m not sure he has a good assist for this team, but the low meter raw tag TOD may be worth it.
Task is definitely on my mind as a default since he’s just well round, but nothing amazing.
Arthur…yeah he’s one of the few characters I’m not willing to learn. His playstyle is not me despite that assist being amazing and he’s a great anchor.
