So what's the opinion on spencer? Playing around with him in training seems like he's really limited to what he can do. Feels like capcom made sure you couldn't do crazy shenanigans with the chain.
Spencer works really well with Lei-Lei, for one! ARMMMM and Maneuvers both DHC into Chireitou and Tenraiha very well, believe it or not, and Armored Sempu Bu makes it easy to qcf+a into whatever with Spencer.
On his own, Bio-Com is a pretty nice powerhouse. He can advance easily and quicky when covered by assist, by using his unique dash (Attack + special). His crouching Medium is a pretty decent anti-air, standing light has great priority, and hits all but the lowest crouching opponents, and jumping S has a GREAT crossup hitbox.
Basic L M H into qcf+S (Armor piercer) does fantastic damage for something so simple, and leads into free ARMMMMMMMM super. qcf+A, A can be followed up full screen by a quick move in + jump, qcf+b, and this can be followed up also by BIONIC ARMMMMMMMM.
Simple X-Factor setup of ARM punish, X factor, Bionic Manuvers Hyper, DHC into anything else at the end works absolute wonders.
With proper assist use, I'd say he's VERY effective at stacking on damage, and helping the team DMC all over the place. Keep him full of meters, and he's a beast.
