Still Nova/Iron Man/Akuma. I haven't hit the lab in months, but after EVO I kind of want to to figure something legitimate out.
Killed Phoenix in the air, repulsar blast > Iron Avenger to kill Azure's DP immediately as I landed. That made my fucking century, you guys have no idea.
EDIT: @Azure I'm not the person to ask for team synergy advice, but it seems you had trouble getting anything going with Dante, and all I saw from those matches was that one dirty ass low/high left/right mixup when it comes to Dante and Felicia working together, I didn't find it too threatening. It seemed like Dante and Felicia were working independently of eachother, and when Dante couldn't get in, it was a wrap. It's hard for me to infer anything from the few games we played without this sounding harsh or something :lol But pretty much, if I killed Dante, Felicia was helpless and it was on to the Phoenix problem quite quick, maybe it's just because of your Felicia in particular. What's the reasoning behind the team construction?
Oh, it's a work in progress, but the idea is simple. Dante is the gatekeeper and responsible for building the lion's share of the meter necessary for Phoenix. As he can build around 2 meters solo from one character while being put in an advantageous situation after said combo, he goes first. Of course problem is getting the gameplan started as you said. He gets cover from TK Shots and Felicia's Rolling Buckler sets up the dirty unblockables raw or (more preferably) with the Grapple reset. The latter just wasn't working at the time since my brain was off in more ways than one and I was (and still am) dying for some sleep. :lol
Felicia on point is supposed to go full troll mode with her regular BnBs omitting the OTG - Super part of things and instead going for a meter charge every time the character is knocked down with a longer charge on character KO. She also gets some mileage from TK Shot at that point, but I try to use the assist very sparingly once down to her. Don't need any late game Happy Birthdays.
Now, the biggest problem with Felicia is that I still can't do her really meaty combos consistently yet and that was further compounded by playing online. Any hit I got, I made sure to go straight into what worked guaranteed which was the fraudulent magic series + ADK relaunch. I'd usually try for her back H to try and confirm a portion of her normal combo, but eh, I really was playing quite fraud like tonight. At least I got a portion of her command grab - Toy Touch jump loop combo off.
From our matches though, I can already see that there are two things I need to do to make that team work even half as well as my Dante/Amaterasu/Strider. I need to set the pace right from the jump with lots more pressure than I'm used to dealing out and I need to make sure that under no circumstances do I ever let a character with a decent horizontal beam assist stay there unchecked. Unibeam was fucking up EVERYTHING tonight. :lol
Even though you said you're looking into alt teams, this one is really good. I seriously never realized just how much damage Nova does until I realized that out of the 10+ matches we played, I don't think Dante survived once if Nova got to him. That Grown Ass Damage, goddamn.
