I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone build a frank team designed to get him to level 4/5 via some sort of DHC or mid-combo tag then abuse assist and have level 4/5 frank on anchor. Would that maybe be a sort of "optimal" way to use frank?

Sounds cool, in theory. It's kind of what I was hoping to achieve, but I'm way too green to know if it's realistic.

I ran Task/MODAM/Skrull in vanilla, and Skrull is a really good anchor. His assists are so-so, but Orbital Grudge does okay with getting people off, and if you don't train them to punish it Tenderizer can be an okay assist to keep them back, too.

Orbital Grudge does look really, really nice. I've only tried Super-Skrull for a handful of fights, but I've liked what I've seen.

I've been having a lot of fun with ammy/frank two bar THC that gets frank to instant Lv.5

Only downside is if ammy dies before you THC you are probably going to lose lol

here come the planes
Try a frank combo into tools of survival hyper, dhc into slowdown hyper when the opponent's at the very top after hitting them with the baseball bat, and raw tagging back in for another OTG camera (canceled into shopping cart hyper if you have meter, canceled into another tools of survival/ammy dhc/raw tag if you have a shitton of meter)

Someone posted a video of this a bit ago and it's just so silly to me.

Looks like the old berserker slash is alive and well in Vergil's rapid slash lol

The problem with Berserker Slash wasn't that it crossed up, it's that it was invincible and crossed up half the time. You can block Rapid Slash by holding forward.

edit: That's what I get for not refreshing the last page.

That was me. If you're not trolling though, doing the THC gets Frank to level 5 straight away so you end up needing/using 3 less meters. You can get two camera shots during the THC, although I've found that sometimes you have to jump/superjump and do the first one in the air.

Rapid slash is completely vulnerable, too. Anyone with an instant-startup projectile will stuff the crap out of it.

Not sure what you mean but what I'm comparing is the ability to block on reaction since you
have to change directions when he quickly passes through you and he can make the attempt safe by spending meter.

Yeah, rapid slash is a good move. I've experimented with it and the unibeam assist since it makes it safe on block and lets Vergil combo afterwards with the right timing.

Guy at a local tourney killed Dark Phoenix with Vergil's swords super. He burned the extra meter to put the swords above Phoenix's head and his opponent must not have noticed with all the fire on the screen.

Was playing a little wolverine yesterday, I did the LMH B. Slash mixup to a Wesker and he command grabbed me out of B. Slash after it passed through him and before it hit. I know it's not invincible anymore but drat. I might've been a little late with my B. Slash since LMH B. Slash is supposed to be a blockstring.

To all the Austin/Arcade UFO people, looks like now that the ranbats for this season are over, Fubarduck wants to continue making Tuesdays a regular thing with UMVC3. He's offering $4 per person to do constant free-play for UMVC3 which will be streamed and recorded(all other cabinets still pay-for-play). I'll probably try to be there this Tuesday for that.

You can use an assist timed to hit right as Virgil is crossing over you with rapid slash to make it a 50-50 mixup right?

Yes but you would have to call the assist pretty early if you actually want to hit on front, which would be asking to be put in a happy birthday (a merry christmas).
