Anyone else wanna play?
GGs GB. What number are you at for the challenge now? You should post the numbers at the close of every night!
I'm at around 50, will do.
I enjoyed our matches. Your Magneto has definitely improved since we last played. I think your Wolverine lacks aggression, and you don't use any of Skrull's dirty stuff (one Meteor Smash in 7 matches, was it?). I don't have any thoughts on Sentinel because I don't think he ever did anything. I also don't think you ever tried to FOOT DIVE me with Doom - be more cheap!
I messed up a lot with my wolverine teams because Wolverine is my "never use in training mode" character, and I've literally never used Skrull before other than like 15 minutes in training mode, so I dunno lol. Sentinel and Doom I don't really use either other than for the assist. I do like Sent combos, though. Chunky. But that's why I swapped to Wolverine/Wesker/Doom. A little more comfortable. Plus, it lets me do cool shit like air tag to wesker for the THC and boost up the pharmacist and get a kill.
I thought I was mashing the living fuck out of berserker slash, but if you say more aggressive ok lol
Your X-23 combo was really impressive, and I liked your method of approach with her, but I'm not sure EMD is what she needs. She felt pretty naked out there. Strider did fine, but he's also one of the best Dormammu and Morrigan counters in the game. I would tell you to spend some time in training mode practicing his Vajra hit confirms, but you're not allowed to do that right now!
That was my shortened version, too! Team construction for my team archetype is hard because you're juggling all this weird stuff at the same time. My primary concern is using an assist that gives Strider the best chance to land any hit, which is EMD. But if Strider dies, EMD isn't that good for X-23. But putting her second also means I get level 3 x-factor Magneto, which is my favorite character. I also get a second chance to go for the infinite. And frankly, Magneto only gets unblockable throw resets and OTGs off of ankle slicer. Which isn't so bad because he functions well enough off of an assist and there's nothing damage-wise he can do in level 3 x-factor that he can't in level 2(I can do 1.15 million damage meterless off of a throw even in level 1 midscreen).
Good matches. We'll play more in ~4 days? The connection was a bit "meh", but tolerable. I would play more but I have to go buy a Christmas gift.
I think it was worse at first because my internet was still working on my PC for the first couple matches, then it was clear after that.
Let me know what you thought of my team. And yeah, Wesker counter working against 1D2C made me go "wut?", but it makes sense. Haha! Excellent timing right there. I was also happy that Dormammu didn't get hit by Vajra once, and I countered it with j.M every time. Eventually I'll turn that j.M into a full Strider kill combo.
Fighting your team was really annoying. It's all a trick.
At first I wanted to snap in Phoenix or Morrigan(which I kept messing up because I forgot wolverine crosses up at the ground bounce), but really 75% of the pain from your team comes from the kill timer on Dormammu. Playing against you is like watching the temperature rise on a pot of water, and 5 bars is boiling. It's one of the reasons I started with my wolverine teams. I wanted to get you the hell out of there. Your Dormammu movement and hit confirms are definitely improved a lot from last time. It's the first time I noticed how fast he was.
The hardest thing about Dormammu is how many buttons you push in the neutral game. 80% of my setups involve getting you to block anything from Strider, but that standing M makes it so hard to get in, kind of like Ghost Rider's pillar. So I never got to try an unblockable on Dormammu, and Morrigan got to escape most of them by crouching the high.
Your Morrigan was good, but I felt like if I kept playing it wouldn't have been so bad. and I don't know if this makes sense, but your Phoenix seemed... worse than before? Like you weren't moving as much. Just like my Wolverine, you should be a lot more aggressive with her. Especially with a combo breaker. Compared to your Dormammu, it seemed like you were doing a lot of things for no reason with Phoenix. In general, once Dormammu was off-screen, it felt like I could calm down a lot and start thinking more. I did like your Astral Vision combo with Dark Hole, that was pretty cool.
Just the fact that your team is so aerial makes it harder to fight than most people.
