Which normal into zombie swing is safe? I've used the A swing and there seems to be an opening between the normal and the swing for them to see it and counter.
I gotta work on that.

This looks like some Smash Bros. shit.
just remember that laming out other zoning characters isn't the same as laming out rushdown characters.
Wow. That looks really boss.
So, Morrigan is a solid anchor right? You opening up with Magneto? Magneto can benefit greatly from assists and start off matches building you tons of meter.
So I'd go something like Magneto, Nova, Morrigan. Nova doesn't necessarily need assists if you stay in there, and with his own OTGs you don't have to worry about a specific assist. If you want lamer, then Hawkeye can fit the second spot.
Yeah, it's seriously making me re-evaluate a few things about her that I once took as "glaring" to could/should be fixed flaws in her design. (Ground dash, reliable OTG for solo combo extensions, something to deal with her blind spot - underneath herself when in the air. Finishing Shower being way less awesome than Soul Eraser even if it has it's utility)
Giving her some of these changes might actually make her fucking scary on top of what she has going for her now. :lol

The physical form of blasphemy
*looks in Doom threads*
With one assist in the corner, Doom hits 1 million + damage off of that combo, for one bar.

I always joked with friends that, in this game, (in my humble opinion) I didn't think a zoning team had a prayer in hell of winning a big tournament / a major and that if a zoning team DID win, it was because the player was better, not the team.
And then I saw Morrigan.
So now I have to asterisk it because I think her zoning with assists is the only one good enough to do it and that's only because she can build meter while she has her mirror out.

Yeah, she isn't even a character that was originally placed under the "zoning/keepaway" moniker. That was reserved for Ghost Rider, Rocket Raccoon and the like.
I get hate mail when I finish a match with Doom with finger lasers zoning, but that's doing nothing damage-wise compared to Morrigan.

After a bit of internal thinking, I do believe I've come up with three frameworks for teams I'll stick with going forward.
Dante/Felicia/Strider
Vergil/???/Morrigan
Zero/Dante/???
Sticking to a smaller pool of characters sounds like a good way to go. Of course, there's the problem of finishing some of these team compositions and beating "Xbox Huge Roster Syndrome" (i.e. the urge to play everyone, especially when hype tech comes out) but I think these are the ones for me.
I feel like the last one is going to be a troll team though. Maybe I'll rock that fraudulent X alt and rock my personal team "Shoulda Been Happened" with X/Dante/Hsien-Ko. They're all here and good in my mind. ;__;

Just saw the zoning match and wow brilliant anti rushdown team. Akuma tatsu cuts off forward running attempts and covers for flying to the other side of the screen to switch corners on opponents. Soul fist horizontal shots cover for hidden missile summons really well since it buys so much time for it. And you can use angled shots to jump back with Morrigan and cover nearly every approachable angle in front of her. Given how slow her shots are they stay out for a long time and allow for a lot of zoning off of the screen through even basic shot patterns combined with these assists. Plus if Morrigan is out Akuma tatsu aids Doom on getting in through beams to help push them into the corner for his offense and covers him on the ground too. Plus tatsu assist + triangle offense setups.
Chris G just put on a show demonstrating how strong zoning is in this game with Morrigan. If ex-thunder knuckle C.Viper from Marlinpie can't deal then no way will guys like Iron Fist. Justin Wong had better get damned tight with Akuma tatsu summoning to cut through those fists to open his Iron Fist a path if my EVO is gonna see an Iron Fist make it. Anyway it rolls I think it just got kind of interesting out there. Reminds me of Sanford's Spiral team years.

I'm rusty as hell with the Wesker team, so I blame that! You also pushed a lot more buttons against that team, and that always blows me up.
GGs though.But the main thing you need to do is improve your protection of assists. You can't just call an assist and start throwing Soul Fists and expect it to work. Half the time, Iron Man's beam clipped both Morrigan and Doom, which sent out only a couple of Hidden Missiles making it impossible to start zoning. You gotta protect Doom, and once the missiles are out, start throwing Soul Fists.
I gotta say, though. I really like Iron-Man's beam for my team. I just need to improve my Iron-Man so he's less fraudulent.
IM is swag tho akuma worked better i think. but well i think it could be depend on the matchup.
as protecting assist well im not used to that since i normaly have a fast projectile like magnus EM covering the assist gotta get more pratice. i hope Next level is open at nights to grind that marvel.

the funny thing is....if he got rid of Akuma who he was terrible with and put in Hawkeye or Ryu he would've destroyed Marlinepie
I keep getting blown up in ranked, god damn. I had hoped that by fighting higher ranked players, I'd no longer be subjected to people waking up and pushing random buttons and just doing shit, but noooopeee. It's only gotten worse.
I love Tatsu assist, but I don't really like Akuma, so I don't plan to use him. Plus, having a team of 900/750/750 sounds terrible. I'd rather just grind Tony until I'm good with him.

The balance has been shifted. You were their constant.

To answer the question posed in your video. I've had significantly less rage quits in Ultimate, so it does feel like there's been an improvement on that front. What I do absolutely hate though is that when someone does ragequit you can no longer give them bad feedback on Xbox Live as the game somehow doesn't register the players you encountered on Ranked as players you actually faced. I do like the fact that you can choose not to fight a player when a match is found so that you no longer end up facing the same ragequiter 3 times in a row as this did happen in Vanilla.
So to summarize: I'm salty that you can no longer dole out negative feedback but do like the other improvements in general

That dude blocked an "unblockable".
Damn.
Oh and on rage quitting. I honestly don't mind it in player matches since that's all I play anyways. I almost find it to be the ultimate sign of respect, even though the rage quitter's intent is probably more malicious than that. I don't play ranked anymore but if someone rage quit in a game I'm sure I'd be pretty mad.
There are times when I would like to quit out and not be penalized though. Sometimes I'll get into a slideshow match and for whatever reason I'll have to sit through the whole match instead of the game booting us both out. One time I was in a slideshow match where we both booted out and was still penalized.

I'm late, but no! Whose gonna troll me with Arthur now? Who, damn it?!
sigh live is starting to become less fun now that 90% of everybody you play is some person spamming teleport and some assist like vajra or beam. i wouldn't have much of a problem with this if characters like dante or wesker were at least punishable when you blocked their crap but nope.

Sold it for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning? JK but understandable if you did. That game is gonna be insanely good and who's got time for combo grinding in Mahvel if you're trying to simultaneously play over 200 hours of RPG awesomeness.
