You are not well, sir!
I brought up Ono because Beef said no more Niitsuma, and it makes sense to contrast him with the only other Calvin FG dev out there.
This is the truth. My scumbaggery has increased in dividends because of this game. At this point, there is only a small part of me that refrains from teabagging/taunting when I feel myself super hard, but every once in a while, it comes free. Particularly when I make a comeback with Trish against characters solo Trish should lose free to, and especially when I make XF-less comebacks with Trish or Strider. XF-less Strider comebacks are basically the epitome of euphoria.
So basically they are saying end game is Morrigan/Doom with a 3rd character that can use both assists ie. Vergil. Best team in the game is ChrisG's team because it fulfills the criteria of what most people think end game would look like.
So endgame is Justin Wong? That seems about right.
I just think that, if Evo taught us anything, it is that ChrisG's team is not proven to be the end of team development.
I've always felt, like in MvC2, the zoning-based teams will have their reign for a while until the rushdown becomes too strong and adaptive.
Very good team IMO. Probably FChamp's end game type team... either that or Morrigan/Dorm/Doom.
There will never be an end of team development but there is no team better than ChrisG.
I usually rock him on anchor against other Zero teams so I have Vergil/Dante/Zero. XF3 Zero is good but it always feels like I run out of XF even when doing non Sogenmu lighting loops in the corner. It has the same time limit as Dante XF3 iirc but Zero doesn't have Devil Trigger lightning bolts to kill really fast if need be. Maybe I should try Sogenmu relaunch loops, they kill pretty fast...
He already has, two Magnetos in top 8 EVO. He is still a top 5 character.
I feel that if you have the execution, Morrigan is better and can replace him on the majority of "end game" teams. Exception being something like Magneto/Morrigan/Doom.
Vergil and Skrull don't have top assists either. I mean Vergil's assist is good but I certainly don't think it's a top assist. It seems on par with Zero's fireball assist if he's in sogenmu.
Skrull ideally should be played second too it's just that his lack of safe DHCs and TACs makes it better to use Doom in second. Plus the way the unblockable is set up with Sphere Flame you really want Doom in second. And for the Firebrand team the Skrull assist is essential and thus makes him suitable to be 3rd.
I actually agree with everything you said. I just wanted to point out that I feel you don't need a good assist to be played on anchor, you just have to be a cheap ass anchor! I don't know if Zero would be as cheap as Vergil and I'm not sure we'll ever know unless someone decides to take that risk and really commit to it. It would hopefully spice things up a bit.
Yeah I imagine he would be like Strider. Could probably take out two characters pretty easy but would have a difficult time doing a 3v1 comeback. At least he would still be Zero once XF ran out, so he could probably play 1v1 easily. Strider does pitiful damage.
I should clarify but goddamn I hate typing on my phone.
What it looked like happened was that the LVL3 hit Dante (it was a happy birthday situation) and the "strike" from the LVL3 killed him then the animation of the LVL3 transferred to Dorm or the strike continued through Dante into Dorm.
