A lot of characters keep their special abilities when tagged out so it’s likely that Sougenmu stays until Zero tags in again
Yeah but Morrigan doesn’t, and both characters kind of clone themselves. Really, really, hope it stays.
I doubt it will stay, wouldn’t that be a little op?
And what would u guys say about this team… Zero (point), Ct.America, Amy
for some reason my mind always go with cap assist (shield throw - hits then return an hit as well)
plus cap is a solid point as well to back up zero…
I think Shield Throw will do some epic combo extended stuff for Zero, but he’ll probably benefit more from having Stars & Stripes as an assist, in case things go sour.
And we can only wish Shippuga assist is a godlike combo extender.
So what are the general opinions of zero’s assists? Is his dp any good?
From what I’ve seen, it’s decent (ther ARE better ones, but that’s not wholly surprising). It does appear to multi-hit though, which is good if you wanna hit 'em with something else while Zero’s lifting them up…
I was watching some of the Gamespot video just released, it’s not invincible on the startup, getting beat out by multiple stupid stuff like tag in and meaty normal.
I dunno if dp assist is going to be good guys…
To its credit the dp assist goes a lot higher in this game than TvC by the looks of it. I really think the other assists will be more useful though. Shippuga should be an effective combo extender for virtually the entire cast (thinking Rogue’s dash assist from MvC2 here), and Handangeki looks like it travels at a good pace to cover your approach and it’s pretty much as tall as Zero so it should be able to cancel out a lot of different projectiles (though its hitbox might not be as big as its animation). Personally unless your team has terrible anti-air I wouldn’t pick Zero’s dp assist; I’m planning on running Zero/X-23/Wesker to start, neither of the other 2 characters seem to have great anti-air options, and I’m still going with Handangeki assist.
/speculation
Zero’s dp is easily one of the worst assists in TvC unless you’re fighting someone who really relies on aerial approaches like Tekkaman, so I wouldn’t get your hopes for it in this game.
Apparently the Capcom all assists video says that Sogenmu stays when Zero tags out, but he forgot to show it. Shippuga and Hadangeki are looking a lot better with that. Ryuenjin will probably wind up having the most hits of any anti-air with that, too.
YES. If that shit’s true, I’m hyped for Zero all over again, lol.
Question is how long does he keep it after tagged out? Keep in mind Sougenmu only lasted about 5 or 6 seconds in TvC when you weren’t attacking. So now I’m wondering if there will be a timer on it when he’s tagged out or if it will last indefinitely and the timer resumes when he’s tagged back in.
It’s indefinite…just like every other Utility Hyper in the game after they get tagged out…
Great news for Zero if true. Does anybody know if utility hypers can be DHC’ed into or out of? Probably not but it can’t hurt to ask…
You can DHC into them.
Had a feeling he kept Sougenmu when tagging. Difference with his and Morrigan’s clone is that his Hyper doubles his attacks Seiei-enbu style, while Morrigan makes a mirror image, so she’d just be aiming her attacks opposite ways. Would’ve been pretty BS if he didn’t keep it
Sad news about his DP assist sucking though. It didn’t seem too bad when I used it but there was a noticeable difference in invincibility between his and Morrigan’s. I was relying on that assist being at least decent. Now my whole team dynamic may have to change
Which is his best assist?
We won’t really know that for a bit, but if I had to put my money on one, it’d be Hadangeki (Green projectile.) Especially if his Sougenmu power-up stays on him as an assist and he shoots two.
Which reminds me, it seems like Hadangeki can eat A LOT of projectiles. Even more of a reason to use it as an assist.
Sweet. L and c.L linking after Shippuga. Doesn’t look like it’ll be necessary to do more than twice though
