Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3

[pootytang9]

Let me ask the people here who know a lot more about this game than I do, how well do you think Iron Fist and Super Skrull would work together on a team? Skrull was my main in 3.0 but I'd already decided when/if I chose to get more into UMvC3 that I was going to start from the ground up. In 3.0, I just picked characters I liked or wanted to play without any consideration to

1. The kind of synergy they would have together

2. Whether their fighting style matched my natural playstyle

So in Ultimate, I wanted to pick a team more in line with what works rather than just what I felt like. I'm a rushdown player and I was forcing myself to play mostly non rushdown characters before. I'm really liking Iron Fist right now and I'm thinking about making him the focus of my team. However, I still really like Super Skrull. He's still who I'm best with, and I've always felt he meshed well with most other characters because of how well he could DHC from or into one of his hypers. That being said, Skrull can also rushdown to an extent, so I want to try and keep him on the team with Iron Fist and then back it up with a solid assist character to help get in.

heres my 2 cents,

iv always love iron fist in this game, but hes got a few problems that you should take into consideration so that you can cover his ass.....iron fist is a great character with awesome damage potential, hes quick, and he has a great mix up game during block strings, he is pretty safe overall and its difficult to punish him if you know which moves to throw out...........iron fist main problem is actually getting in on the opponent, iron is pretty much limited to running up and choosing j.S, cr.L ,or just L...which in most cases is easily read by the opponent, also iron fist doesn't have any projectiles or any safe method on getting in on characters who zone, iron is limited to the range of his...well fist.... which in general is pretty short..... your best bet is to pair iron fist up with a character who support can compensate for irons fist weakness ex magneto disruptor, irons chest beam, dr dooms plasma beam........with these you could push the opponent to block then allow irons fist to get in and use his 234 L for quick almost impossible to block on reaction low, or 234 M for the same result high.....then from there up to you on what to do......iron fist is a great rushdown character if you can manage to stay close to the opponent, his options on block are very excellent for appling continuous pressure close up.........

im not very familiar with super skrull, although back in vanilla i wanted to pick him up because i thought he was cool.......from experience super skrull is a pretty solid character, hes got all parts of the screen fairly coverd so range isn't an options, he is pretty slow to move around the screen, but its really not necassary as skrull has got some good range on him. his supports are pretty decent at combo extension, be great for iron fist and give him more options on reset as well as increase damage on combos.........you probaly know more about skrull then what i can add now..

plenty of characters have good assist, but with iron fist your gana want a character that can leave ppl on lockdown long enough to get in with iron fist....so ametarstu cold star is pretty good for this, its long range and last a while, dantes weasel shot and sliding nirvana attack(whatever that move is called) are excellent for keeping lock down, nirvana attack is a little bit better though, but its limited on horizantal range and not very safe......iron man is also pretty solid with his assist, his beam cannon has great range and last a long time to keep opponent lockdowned......repulsor blast also is great at lockdown but ironman stays open a bit too long...........

my reccomendation would be pick iron man, mostly cause i like ironman, hes pretty quick, great damage, decent health, overall he makes a solid anchor...... i use ironman a lot, and im a rushdown person myself, so ironman feels pretty natural when you use him to go in on the opponent.....don't sleep on iron man people underestimate his speed

thats all i can think of for now.....

Judgment Cut is +8 on block, so this should be a staple blockstring, as no characters except Cap Am and Dorm can punish it without using meter.

How the fuck can anything with +frames get punished by anybody?

Stinger xx Judgment Cut (for example), Cap and Dorm can punish you during the startup of Judgment Cut. Cap can charging star through it, and Dorm can do Liberation (DCC/CDD).

I'm up in the air with my team right now. I've decided I need to change up some of my assists because right now, they feel too similar. I can't decide whose to change - Firebrand from Demon Fire (ground flame) to Swoop assist or Strange's Eye of Agamotto to Daggers of Danak.

And for the most part, I'm still up in the air about what assist to use for Vergil. I usually have him as my first out so I don't really think too hard about it and just have him set to Rapid Slash, but I think there might be better options for this team.

Firebrand assist sounds fine, but you should try out Bolts of Bolthakk for Strange. Been hearing a lot of good things about that assist. And you should probably use Judgment Cut for Vergil. Puts a projectile on the screen without putting Vergil at serious risk.
