WHATAMIFIGHTINGFOOOOOOOOO!: the MvC3 Zero Thread

Stuart_Hayden · February 16, 2011, 8:58pm

I’ve been using Zero(a)/???/Doom(Y) a lot.
Trying to figure out my middle character. I’ve experimented a little with almost every body and the most successful have been:
Wesker (B)
Haggar (ANY. Though double lariat is the easiest one, timing wise. but the fact it kills haggar’s health is a major downside)
X-23 (B)
Sentinel (A or Y depending on playstyle)
Deadpool (B)
She-Hulk (Which ever one Torpedo is, I can’t remember)

I knew I wasn’t crazy. I was using this all day yesterday. Even tested it with aerial recovery and stuff in training mode to confirm it. Glad other people have been using it as well.

RE Combo’s:
Keep in mind due to how a lot of Zero’s moves behave, most of his mid-screen combo’s are there to get his opponent to the corner so he can do even more damage. There isn’t much of a difference between TvC Zero and MvC3 Zero.

You need level 3 buster charged to do so.

:s: j. j. Level 3 Buster :dp::snka: (land) :s: …

Problem is, unless you’re charging before you land the first hit, you won’t have time to get the buster to level 3.

BloodyStag · February 17, 2011, 1:36am

I’m somewhat confused about the sequence involving :l: (hold) , :h:, :f:, :h:, :s:, j. , j. , j. :h: , j. , :h: , :l: , , :s: , j. , release :l: , :dp: :l:

It seems like you could do a :qcf: :h: afterwards and call in an OTG assist to pop them back in the air and then knock down until :qcf: :atk :atk: but I haven’t a copy, and I won’t be able to test it until tomorrowhe hitstun might scale too much to make use of it, but who knows. can anyone confirm? I know you need to delay the last air so they’ll be in range to relaunch.

AvariceX · February 17, 2011, 2:16am

That is absolutely not true.

First combo - you don’t even need an assist.

You can charge to level 3, you just have to get use to the inputs.

Kazuhiro · February 17, 2011, 11:22am

Lol.

I knew I should’ve watch that video before posting. I’ve been practicing this combo, and it’s pretty easy to do once you get the inputs down.

Anyways, all this to say I’m glad to hear that he has buster combo that works midscreen for pretty good damage.

otori · February 17, 2011, 6:02pm

Why isn’t there any combo video with his shadow clone super? Does each hit from the clone still counts towards the hitstun and damage scaling system? Isn’t the damage worth it on a BnB?

Azrael:

I dunno if this is old news, sorry if it is. I’ve been playing around with some of Zero’s air combo options. Here are a few things I’ve found so far.

Soft launch - following any move that lifts the opponent into the air that isn’t a launcher - (air) L, L, M, H (2 hits), (land, jump again) L, L, M, H (2 hits), (land) M, H, S, …

This can be done anywhere on screen. A good set up into this is to use Dante Jam Session assist. Do L, M, H, Shippuga on the ground, call in Dante at the same time you start the Shippuga. Jam Session combos off Shippuga, then you can wait until it does the soft launch to do the air series. After Shippuga, you can also use M command run to start the air combo on the other side of the opponent. After the second air loop, it gets really hard to keep comboing the opponent due to decreased hit stun.

Launcher Soft Loop - S, (air) M, M, H (3 hits), (delay) M, (land, jump) M, M, H (can be 2 or 3 hits depending on height), (land) M, H, S, …

This can also be done anywhere on screen. You’ll want to time the first M, M, H carefully…after the 3rd hit of H, Zero should be falling together directly in front of the enemy. After the second loop, again hitstun gets pretty severe so its best to do the ground series into something. You can launch and do the regular air combo, or since Zero is on the ground, call an assist and possibly combo into one of his supers. When playing around with this set up, I did the regular air series after the second launcher, OTG’d with an assist and combo’d into his Level 3.

These combos I think of as just basic ideas, hopefully someone better can me can take the idea and run with it. Again, sorry if its old news.

Yeah, I also found out about that landing after air combo into juggle while testing out ways to get zeros full charge in. I do

L(hold L),M,H,6H,S (Jump), M (double Jump) M, H, (Land) M,H,S (Jump), M, M, (Let go of charge), Hiekyaku , H,S (Jump) M,H,S, (Land), Rekouha

Pretty cool stuff, gonna post a video up soon!

IMO it is definatly worth it… Yesterday I locked a sentinal in the corner with it and always ended with hard knockdown. Instead of going for Rekouha after the KD, I would do Sougenmu, and just before he got off of the ground did a Shippuga. Zero whiffs, but the shadow keeps going and zero is already recovered. while the shadow is hitting, i would cancel to the H teleport, and H or 2 H on the way down. it crosses up just as the shadow is done hitting. Afterwards you actually have enough time to do the 2L,2M,2H, 6H, L,M,H, 6H, S, M,H(2 hits), S combo for a hard knock down and enough meter to do another Sougenmu if you like and start it all over. This time going towards the corner, do everything exactly the same except after the hard knock down do Rekouha instead (since you built another meter). Crapload of damage…

Got my HD PVR working pretty good. I’ll put some videos up later.

the_mossad_man · February 17, 2011, 10:21pm

MUST try this when i get off work. Good shit dude…

Ikaru · February 17, 2011, 10:53pm

Zero has a double jump? …

kenmastersX · February 18, 2011, 6:01am

He did in TvC, not in this game…

DarkDeath · February 18, 2011, 6:39am

Haha Whoops, I naturally press the up button between M to M to time the H so I can land to combo again, So i guess it was reaction I typed that and didn’t notice haha, Also cause of TvC lol.

But anyways, uploaded the combo along with another one here:

found an unblockable set up using zeros shadow clone super works really well agaisnt bigs only works on smaller characters in the corner so best used against characters coming in or being pressured in the corner i’ll put the video once i get the chance

Dark_Radiance · February 18, 2011, 7:16am

Is there anything that can be done about chun-li’s bullshit ass lighting kick? I can’t figure out how to beat it when it’s in x-factore.

_Bee · February 18, 2011, 9:31am

Heres an assist combo with lvl 3

Reset in the corner that puts you in a good position

lxMetalSonicxl · February 18, 2011, 9:54am

Use advancing guard during block stun by pressing two attacks buttons.

Individuals · February 18, 2011, 1:35pm

well if he means her assist, then it would be a wee bit more difficult…
snapback into chunli and beat down that chica!

MikeySupreme · February 18, 2011, 4:29pm

Damn, reset was so nice.

lmk if you wanna get some casuals in o.o
