Hey. I just started w/ Iron Man and was kind of wondering what the best teams for him were. I’ve heard that Mag/IM/psy isn’t good because no one is actually stupid enough to get close enough for psy to hit. I’ve also heard team Combofiend isn’t that great due to the lack of high prioritized assists. I think it’s a pretty cool team, but I’m an IM noob. also, I thought I’d mention that I’m not a big fan of using the following top-tier characters:
Magneto (I know… but he’s just not my style)
commando (I like characters who have some fighting ability)
Cable (sometimes he’s okay, but I just don’t like doing those same ghetto traps over and over…)
Blackheart (I sometimes use him as a battery, but that’s about it)
In my opinion, Doom is IM’s best assist: it’s easier for him to cover than psylocke, random rocks can lead into infinite, you can throw into assist into infinite very easily from anywhere, it’s great for pressuring and chipping, and it’s got great priority against alot of stuff.
Sentinel works very well with Doom also (better than the rest of the big 4 IMO) and Sent/IM is a great duo (in either order) even if Doom dies.
i like haveing psylock as an assist because just one assist hitting pretty much gaurantees infinite if u kno the timing. but for the battery im a bit puzzled. i always liked cammy and i guess that would be fun ^^
Naturally imo its better to start off with sentinel with IM’s AAA, but you can mix it up and put IM first vs Magnus and storm users, cyclops and IM = endless possiblilties together
For IM on point:
IM/Sent(a or y)/Cable
IM/Storm/Cable
IM/Doom/Cable
Cable AAA gives IM some good overhead coverage, and you can start the infinite out of it. You could probably switch out Cyke for Cable on those teams and do OK. They aren’t top tier or anything, but they’re enjoyable.
I use anak, im, doom. THis whole team can setup anak’s inf. GOOD FOR ME, BAD FOR THEM. LEt me know what u think of this team. Does this team have a chance against ,scrub, santrax or msp. I have a hard time with cable. What’s an ironman to do?
just use IM/sent/cable. its all u need =]. So far ive been playing with this team since the game came out and i love it to this day. Plus the pcxxhsf dhc is so fucken good,like a 100% easily. But thats just me
IM | Sentinel | Cable is the best IM [point] team there is. Free INF if either assist hits.
Sentinel’s drones is better than (insert character and assist here) because:
Doom AAA - too in-consistant in the way the rocks hit
Storm’s Proj. - takes too much damage if she’s hit a couple times when called and HSF is much easier to combo off of after DHC PC [in comparison to Hail Storm].
Cable’s AAA is better than (insert character and assist here) because:
Cyclops - comboing off of INF is harder than it has to be.
Psylocke - Takes damage even worse than Storm and hella limited range when it comes to rush protection.
CapCom - Can’t set-up INF whenever it hits, and knocks oppenent away, which, for the most part, you DO NOT want when playing as IM [against 3 of the “Big 4,” distance against Magneto is more of a personal preference thing].
^^ Can you combo off of Cable’s assist into the inf. or something. That’s kinda what I need what w/ my IM sucking majorly and everything. I need a scrub IM team honestly. I don’t know any solo setups into the inf. or anything. Until I get better, which will prolly be a while since I don’t play religiously anymore, I’m gonna either combo off an assist or chase Sentinel w/ u/f fierce. :sad:
Cables aaa is mad ghetto psylocke dog, but its a lil trickier. Main set up i do is c.lk+cable,s.lp into INF. Its that godam simple. And only IM scrub team i can think of is n e thing with psylocke in it haha. Hope that helps.
