We find the source of the problem, and we throw dragons at it.
Has Doom always been vulnerable so long with his Hidden Missiles assist? I keep killing him with beams accidentally when he's called. Maybe it's just bad play I'm encountering.

My new nova Bnb.



No red life spent, standing attacks, jH starter this does 774,800 damage, full mash.

The standing M is harder to hit against really big characters but not impossible. Against smaller character you need to delay the jH after your second launcher. This should work anywhere.

Use your red life on this, or putting up gravametric pulse barriers, don't bother using it for the beam super unless you're doing a punish or burning it in a THC or DHC.

I can't seem to do this outside of a corner. Once the first Nova Strike hits the opponent gets knocked too far out of range for j.H to hit. I can't seem to do it any lower to the ground than I currently am. Do you have any advice?

Combofiend looks like he's in the process of dropping Nemesis. :(

I might be slowly settling on using Spider-Man in a team, does anybody know if he still needs an OTG assist behind him to be effective, or does the new Web Zip thing work okay?

I'm not surprised in the least. Every single match he played it was just him getting opened up instantly because his super armor kicks in so late for his moves that have it.

Web zip otg works decently for comboing off of air throws and web throws (dash and then do it). It's kind of hard to use in the corner but I think you can do web swing canceled to web zip to get a minimum height otg. I haven't used it much because I still have Wesker on my team and I've been playing around with other characters, but it seems pretty good.

My brain shuts off when I play Dr. Strange. I guess he's supposed to just set up teleport guesses with daggers but I just end up standing there like an idiot when I play a character without a good dash.

Not really. I haven't had it fail yet, it does look like the opponent goes behind me when I do this, but the combo works normally.

What character are you trying this on, maybe I can replicate.

Yeah he always was crazy free if you had a beams, thing is you are supposed to call assists when they can't do this to him. That and you normally still have to deal with a few doom missles in the air even if you tag him.

I'm trying it on Vergil. My training team is Vergil/Raccoon/Sentinel so I have one opponent of each size, but I'm starting to worry that our little anime friend is on the runt side. I'd switch him to Wesker but I know how drat popular Vergil is, so the practice is useful.

Just want to say Ghost Rider(Spire)/Dormammu(Dark Hole)/Strange(Bolts) is a blast and has been helping me destroy online scrubs.

I don't know how GR is going to hold up as the game progresses/once I make it out for some live play but right now he's been pulling more than his weight for me. If anyone else is playing him with Dormammu I cooked up a variation on his basic bnb that gets a bit more meter/damage and uses Dark Hole:

I rather like some of the new costumes in the costume packs, I'm looking forward to getting some of those. At last Spencer will look like he should have always looked!

Also I love that MODOK's upcoming alternate costume basically turns him into Magnanimous from Megas XLR, who was based on MODOK anyway (and voiced by Bruce Campbell).



He even wore some Elvis type sunglasses.

I've been trying things, some of it interesting but mainly, I've been trying to get ground combo > air combo > Sentsuizan H > Buster Cancel > Raikousen L > Ryuenjiin L. I swear to Christ, that Raikousen requires stupid tight timing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but Goddamn, something's gotta give here.

Also, goddamn, that hitstun scaling thing really hurts. You can't do a full relaunch combo like you could in Vanilla, which kinda sucks.

Yeah, seems like a good set up capable of either playing keepaway against decent players or rushing down/doing whatever you want against bad players such as myself. As a Hulk player who loves to use the Noah strategy of mashing the gently caress out of the H button I can't possibly comment on the gayness of it all though.

So, what teams are you guys usuing? So far I'm maining Deadpool/Firebrand/Sentinel. Would like to switch out Sent, but drones is my favorite assist to use with Deadpool. Firebrand's hypers are almost pure trash, but his swooping assist is pretty fast and he's a blast to play on point. So far, I'm having fun with this team, but they really don't feel that good. Or maybe I'm just not that good :(

GGs, sorry your connection gone hosed up.

As far as rocket goes, yeah he's annoying when he gets in but I wonder how whether he'll be good in the long run, because it seems really hard to open people up sometimes when fast B. The storm style float overheads would work but it's impossible to get into range where j.A will actually work like that.

He's got some sort of okayish pressure, but I really can't figure out how to open people up while moving from outside massive loving sword or hulk arm range into a range where I can actually hit people.

So I've been running Hawkeye/Haggar/Dr. Doom (Team Fastest-Strongest-Smartest). Would running Haggar on point be a better choice? Lariat and plasma beam are great assists for Hawkeye, but Haggar doesn't really seem to get any mileage out of Hawkeye's assists when he already has access to Dr. D. Any suggestions? Also does the hard knockdown on air S open up any not quite as damaging but fairly easy Doom midscreen combos?

Haggar/Hawkeye with poison arrow assist might do a ton of damage with Doom helping him get in.

You can follow up foot dive with doom mid air with an air dash (I don't think you can do it with S) so basically midscreen it's...

mhs sjmm f+h air dash mm land ms I believe. I'm not too sure.

Guide says (lmhs or c.lmhs) m (2 hits) f+h airdash down towards m (2 hits) land cmhs relaunch repeat

If you're right on top of them when you land the S you can just OTG with H, launch, and do his M&M combo, I don't remember the exact optimal combo but it's something like ([sj.M 6H addf M (land) c.MHS)x2] sj.MM 6H MM 214PP)

If you're not right on top of them you just need to tri-jump at them before the H and it will connect. In the corner you can do his bullshit sj.M 6H S loop off of it very easily.

EDIT: It's good to see you in here Tommy, it's been too long since I gave up CoH and you left my life :gbsmith:

I would suggest putting haggar on point since he can do 700k with no meter and you can use the meter he builds on Gimlet. I would use Greyhound assist to get in and Doom Missiles for anti-air.

I am aware of Dr. D's S j.M j.fH DFairdash j.M cr.MHS loop, but that poo poo is hard. I have his corner combos down no problem and I need to learn that midscreen one eventually, but in the interim are there any midscreen combos that are easier than the above loop but more damaging than c.LMHSj.MMfHhyper?

This sounds good, but I need to see if the arrows will let Haggar combo out of a c.H OTG like plasma beam will.
