Tried out Zero some last night in training and he's pretty fun. Best shoto in the game! :p

Maybe Wolvie/Sent/Zero could be a neat team....

Zero does not make a good anchor. His assists aren't that good and he needs assist to be more effective.

Wait until some really top player starts uses Spider Man with the knowledge and execution to pull off his technology and paired with the correct assists. Evil Rahsaan manages to make Spider Man work without even using over half of his godly technology or assists that would make Spider Man work.

Spider Man might end up being in top 15. I am dead serious on this.

Swap Sentinel with Zero.

Also holy shit at Husser Brian's team. I am shocked they didn't show his matches before, dude has godlike team synergy and technology going on.

X-23/MODOK/Dante. MODOK with the barrier assist and DHC glitch set up with X-23. He uses the loops with X-23 to do combos and Jam Session for post OTG combos and set ups with X-23. And his combos with MODOK appear to be on point plus covered with that Dante assist. Some of those X-23 hit confirms off the Dante assist were godlike but couldn't really finish it, my guess is the hit deterioration kicked in too early for the fancier combo.

I've already played several good spidey players online. If he's paired with some good assist he can be extremely effective.

Calling Zero a shoto's a stretch... I barely use his QCF and dragon punch moves.

I've considered trying that team, since I sort of know Wolverine. Wolverine and Zero both have shitty assists unless Zero is powered up, but Sentinel makes up for that.

Not to mention Akuma is clearly the best shoto.

Yeah my plan was to start Zero, I just was dumb when typing it. What's a good assist for Logan in that team? I'm assuming Berserker Slash. Does it even matter? His are all kinda lame.

You could always start Zero, do Sougenmu early and bring in Wolverine, then back Wolverine up with a double Zero assist. I normally use Zero's projectile assist with Sougenmu, but one of the other two might benefit Wolverine as a combo extender.

Richard Nguyen has upgraded his Dante even more. First Dante I have seen who is being used as both as a rushdown and a zoning character to extreme effectiveness. It was also pretty hype watching the LVL1 hyper X Factor Teleport continue the combo for the character kill.

Also that Magneto flight mode plink air dashing was some GODLIKE technology. Move from corner to corner in the air in under a second.

I think as far as character specialists go:

Marn: Zero
Richard: Dante
Clockw0rk: Doom
Big Marcus/IGT: Super Skrull
Tatsu: X-23
MarlinPie: C Viper
ChrisG: Ryu
Justin: Wolverine

I don't think I have seen these characters played better by other players. If you get these characters played by those players in a combo, X Factor that bitch.

Tatsu might have the best Deadpool as well. Also, I was amazed at the Magneto flying dash plinking. Great stuff.

Eh, i dont always see it as the seccond and third guys assist need to help the first guy. Depends on your team i guess.

Zero works best as a meter user which is why running him seccond makes sense (kinda why Marn uses him seccond). He comes in with some meter already to work with, and hopefully close to 3 levels because his level 3 is easily one of the best in the game, and one of the few that can punish assists.

I blinked and Magneto was on a completely different part of the screen. It almost felt like watching MvC2.

Good point. I should learn a Sougenmu combo so I can DHC trick into him.

Is there a guide anywhere on how to do the dash blinking. I tried it after watching the stream and couldn't even get one dash out.

You activated flight mode? That was the first time anyone used dash plinking in the air so obviously there isn't a guide for it up yet.

There is a little video showing plink dashes on the ground.

Except I wouldn't consider marvel's side to have any shotos at all. If any it'd be spiderman, and he's not better than akuma for sure.
I mean Magneto/Storm/Thor/Doom/Iron Man shotoclones.

Easy but online they become hard with lag. They are more timing based than others...

God's Beard, can you learn that BnB and spam it all day against people? :D

Don't need to, my Thor combo is better. If they ever patch the DHC glitch, I'll use a variation on that one that I've had in my pocket just in case. I love that combo.

You should watch Q drop taskmaster combos like he just don't care when we play online

But how many times are you advertising Odin's beer in your combo?

You need to tighten up the damage on level 3
x-factor.
 
I have an unfortunate obsession with touch of death combos, though. My main BnB does 1,269,000 damage, requires no meter to start and ends with 1.5 bars...

I'm sure when PSN goes back up I'll never be able to hit it.

Yeah, I still don't know any that don't use x-factor yet. I'll get there eventually.

Watched the Tokido Grand Final.

He would get blown up in WNF if he ever attended. True story. Phoenix without X Factor is free as hell. Also no snapbacks being used.

But what I like about Tokido's team is that Phoenix is a back up to his team. His main man is Wolverine, he kills the first character on one touch with X Factor or one grab. Then sets up a mix up for the incoming character and will usually end up killing that too with Sentinel drones and Phoenix assist for the relaunch. His game with Wolverine is solid but his Sentinel/Phoenix game is lacking.

Most of that Zero video is awesome, but you need like 10 percent of it. Watch Marns video from marvelous mondays. His first to 10 with one of the EMP guys, and watch his comentary....

Taskmaster and Wolverine combos are still day 1 stuff. Most people use the basic stuff.

I really think Taskmaster hasnt been fully explored yet. He still has alot of tricks.

Wolverine doesn't really need anything more and I am pretty sure he is "maxed out". There isn't anything you can really add to his game, any random hit from Wolverine leads to an almost full combo which is what makes him almost top tier and what makes him better than someone like X-23, she has to hit with a specific hit at a particular height/spacing to get the combo going unlike Wolverine who's any random hit can be converted into a combo easily... especially when backed up by that Akuma assist.

I say almost top tier because Wolverine is like She Hulk in like she only becomes top tier when backed up by an assist. She Hulk solo is like mid tier at best and Wolverine is like upper mid without one. They are both top tier with the assist of their choice. I am sure this is the case for A LOT of characters especially those that are being slept on. I remember when the game came out and the top players posted their tier list. Sentinel was S tier all alone, Phoenix was mid and so was She Hulk.

Justin's Day 1 Tier list for MVC3 said:
S(entinel) Rank:
Sentinel

A Rank:
Wolverine, Wesker, Chun Li, Storm, Dante, Amerterasu, Magneto, Taskmaster, Akuma

B Rank:
Zero, Hulk, Dormammu, Iron Man, Ryu, Trish, Phoenix, Doom, Captain America, Super Skrull, Arthur

C Rank:
Morrigan, Spiderman, Felicia, Hsien-Ko, Spencer, Tron Bonne, Thor, Chris, Deadpool, C. Viper, X-23

D Rank:
She Hulk, Haggar, Viewtiful Joe, M.O.D.O.K
Wait, Justin ranked She Hulk as D tier lulz.
 
I never saw a legitimate source for that tier list - I assume it's false, especially since Justin is the creator of She-Hulk/Tron Bonne.

That was FlashMetroid. Justin even admitted that he deliberately it stole after seeing Flash using it.

uhh what. Zero is 2nd on Marn's team for a reason, and Shipuuga is a godlike combo extender after OTG. Ryuenjin is decent.

And LOL at Chris being bottom 5. I'd steamroll more than half of the people here with Chris. He has self OTG, can level 3 anywhere on the screen and has amazing projectiles. He just doesn't have mobility that's why he's probably mid tier.

It was from some fairly recent stream from within the past several weeks, don't remember which. Might have been PowerUp. Wasn't actually direct quote from Justin himself, either Noel Brown or someone from SoCal said it.

Also DHC glitch. Chris is damn annoying as a zoner. With the right assists, he's even more annoying.
