Probably because people don't realize how punishable empty vajras are with no cover.
Can't count the times I've lost Strider just because I got too pushy with him.

I've certainly been learning that. Vajra ain't no win button. If you call him out carelessly, he dies quicker than a mayfly. I've seen some interesting strategies for punishing him, too. One guy's Sentinel kept Hard Driving to try and hit Strider, and he succeeded at least once. That wasn't effective enough to keep him from being pinned in the corner and chipped to death by Wesker jumping gunshot + Vajra, though.
Dante has a lot of ways to cover Vajra, though. Air Play, Hysterics, Drive, Stinger and various other moves. It also makes his teleports safe while acting as a full screen mixup.
But otherwise, yeah. He's not the safest assist to just throw out there.
Sure, but I'm doing it.
Not sure how well that would go for you... my entire team is filled with bad matchups for Dorm.
But yeah, I'd like to run a set with you as well. I've been making a lot of adjustments to the way I play, so it should be interesting.
Hey, that's basically my new team. Any tricks you willing to dish out? Do you do anything to ensure a leveled Frank?

Is my team in Ultimate, in Vanilla I was using Wesker on point. Since Wesker is even better on anchor in ultimate that's why I put him on the back.
With this team though, I can't deal with teams with good assists because I don't have any really good assist to back me up. If anyones using this team also, could you share some tips?
Another team I'm playing around with, is team "We Hit Like Grown Ass Men"
Captain America, with nova's overhead assist vs someone who doesn't see it coming, gets me a bit of characters, because when Captain America hits you.. you're probably dead lol
Tell me about it. Cap can do a ton of damage for piss-easy work. He also has decent mobility and his crossup dash is as stupid as all the other auto-crossup shit in this game. Why is he underrated?
My teams as of now are:
Zero/Hawkeye/Wesker-Zero with that Hawkeye assist is amazing and wesker is there for those 1v3 situations.
Nova/Frank/Zero-Nova can get frank to lvl 4 very easily and once I get frank to lvl 4, I spam air.M :3 Zero's there for those 1v3 situations and to get frank leveled up if Nova dies.
Zero/Vergil/Dante-I love doing 1 million damage with Dante's and Vergil's assists <3

fuckin' called it, man
I think these 2 posts from the OT1 should be mounted somewhere in the OT2.
Fucking love these lol.
Oh yeah have to retaliate before the ppv, get everyone riled up.
I think it's real cute how Ultimoo keeps bringing up 1 match where his Sentinel reverse ocv's me. Since he seems so keen on it so let's take a look back. It is my beautifully blue Thor/Hulk/Hakeye team going up against Ultimoo's Nova/Whogivesashit/Sentinel. The match starts out as anyone would expect it to go- My Thor/Hawkeye combination tearing through Nova/whogivesashit with multiple correct guesses, perfectly timed resets, and well placed elbows to the dome. Then incomes Sentinel- a character who's one dimensional gameplay is only accentuated by the one dimensional player playing him. He pops xfactor immediately and takes out Thor. One incorrect guess on my part. He takes out Hulk. Again my bad. Bops Hawkeye. Shit happens right? Normally I don't care about losing to things like this but it's what Ultimoo did after the match was done that just made me laugh. He stood over Hawkeye and proceed to taunt. At this point I'm losing it. Why else would he taunt? He knows for a fact that he lost that. He knows his win is only due to the fraudulence of xfactor. He knows that I am better than he is. All that taunt told me was "Yes, I suck at this game. I can only make 3 correct guesses the entire game and the only way I can win is to hope that they are with xfactor level 3 Sentinel."
He must be proud of his fraudulence. Why else would he bring it up multiple times?
You said it yourself
Ultimoo said:
If that's the case then why are you still talking?
Fucking love these lol.
this is what my team will look like starting feb 7.
fraud
Megaman Zero colors, nice.
I need to hit the lab and play with some other weird shit util I get a combination like my Vergil/Dante/Morrigan team. (Order got changed because Weasel Shot + Verg teleport opens up so many people so fast. I feel like ass when I get someone with it though, Verg's teleports are sooo telegraphed. :lol)
I feel like I've entered the part of these games where I just steal from everyone instead of innovating on my own now. :lol
Hooooooly shit I'm in tears.
LOL

Hit box replays. Im incredibly salty because id love to have this mode in the console version. Its valuable information.
Also im incredibly salty at Hulks bullshit hitbox. The heels of his feet are hurtboxes during his standing H. So when i would teleport/cartwheel to avoid it i still get hit. By his fucking feet.

I must assume that all you multiplatform invaders must have dual-modded sticks. That's the only thing keeping me from running Marvel on Live. If I had a stick that would work on my Xbox, that would probably be my preferred network as I could hop on and just run random ranked matches nonstop until I finally got to play Mike Ross

Pretty sure some of them are pad warriors.

You mean best HBR so far? Sorry Rei, you were our butt ends of the jokes in our chats. Hope you didn't take them seriously.
Although that last minute assist call was the best.
edit: what are the points for again? Do we get some prizes in exchange for points ala Chuck E. Cheese?
You can check here to see if there are any people in your area who do PS3>360 mods.I must assume that all you multiplatform invaders must have dual-modded sticks.

It's too bad it's not the other way around (360>PS3) I would tell you to just pick up a TE Kitty and mod it yourself. TE Kitty makes it so damn easy.

Yeah, I've checked that thread before and it looks like there's a guy in Seattle, which isn't that close but is doable. Mostly it's just a money issue anyway, as I haven't been able to find the opportunity to invest $80 in dual modding. Plus I'd have to pay for Xbox Live on top of that.
That's the real kicker right there.

Working on 2 teams now.
In the dumb win screen order of a1/point/a2.
It's the "main" team I was using at the end of Vanilla. Changes to hitstun and removal of soft knockdown on Tatsu made me go wah and just stick with my Thor team. Now that I've gone back, I'm now used to most of the changes and can even do the Fatal claw loop now.
Completely ripped off a Japanese player's team with this one. Main reason I gave up on Nova was because I couldn't do his fancy H loop online. Watching the japanese player I took this from, I realize that you do not need those types of combos to be successful with Nova. You can get by with extremely simple MMH fly MMH combos. Nova gets Frank to level 4 off of any hit, so long as I do the Nova combo right and build enough meter. Wesker is there not just for Dark Wesker. He helps extend my Nova combo and makes unblockables with Level 4 Frank West happen.

Been playing a lot of matches with friends and some online stuff as well, trying to get my skills up some. Been focused on my main team:
I've started to really work on getting Shuma into something better than what i have right now. Morrigan, i'm watching a lot of stuff on her. I'm not a great Morrigan player by any means, but i am starting to learn how to use her mirror image hyper better. My akuma is my best thing right now by far. Need to find some other teams to be good with though. Need some variety.

I think I discovered a small bit of Phoenix Wright technology. Don't flame me if this is already known but I haven't seen any do this.
So PWs crouching C in investigation mode apparently allows him to crouch lower for a sec. I was playing a Jean and she used her projectile super and I managed to completly dodge and punish her just using PW's crouching C and very easily might I add. I would assume this works on other high hitting low projectiles as well. Maybe like Taskmaster arrows or arthurs lance perhaps. More testing needs to be done but I thought it was interesting.

So which of us from PSN are going to try and hold back the XBL Invaders? I played Sasa already, and he's damn good. Still couldn't believe I got the wins that I did.
