I think his best stuff is when he's playing 3rd strike. He just seems so happy to play that game, win or lose.

I've been watching him playing Operation Racoon City and Dragon's Dogma and it's pretty hilarious. Then again those games look incredibly goofy. Dragon's Dogma's thread title is surprisingly accurate: "Dragon's Dogma: Grapple a Griffin, Slay a Cyclops, Climb a Cow, Pitch a Pig"

I find the fullscreen confirm off of lightning into lightning loops for 1 million+ more upsetting. Especially since it can be used to punish whiffed supers.

That said, Zero doesn't piss me off anywhere near as much as Vergil does. Vergil is so loving derpy. If I can't kill him off of round start shenanigans or an incoming mixup I pretty much can't kill him unless he does something stupid.

Even if it only builds one, he can easily do over a million by just adding it onto the end, let alone once you start getting into lightning loops.

It's really really easy to be terrible at this game.

I'm trying to pick up some new characters, but my terrible combo skills are getting in the way. First, Dante. I'm doing whatever into stinger xx volcano j.MH 236L 3HHH SSS hammer, land beehive xx super. I know that isn't optimal, but what's the easiest way to get that damage up?

Second, I'm looking for a point who's easy enough to combo with. RIght now I'm thinking ______/Dante/Doom. I really like Doom and would like to keep him around. What are Vergil's baby/online combos? With missiles I can keep his poo poo safer, which also helps Dante with his teleport set ups. I can't really think of any other characters that would be appropriate, aside from trying to pick up Morrigan to play the lame game. Maybe Hawkeye, but not having him on anchor seems like a disservice. Can someone who enjoys this sort of thing ruminate on having Dormammu on point here?

Easiest way to get some free damage is to use your wallbounce, even it's it's something simple like following the hammer with 3CC 6C bc teleport hammer.

I'd recommend going Dante/Dormammu/Doom for two reasons. The first big one is DHC synergy. You can get hecka damage in the corner with million dollars to sphere flame but if you're full screen you basically can't get damage going from Dante to Doom while you can with chaotic flame.

The second one is dark hole is a surprisingly nice assist for Dante. It lets you combo off your air throw easily (just mash the hell out of j.C + dark hole until you see the assist connect then cancel into hammer, follow up with otg whatever) and it lets you get a second 3cc -> prop shredder with proper timing which gives you a pretty generous amount of damage.

Wesker is a really good battery and has easy, high damage combos. He also works really well with Doom's Plasma Beam assist. It can cover Wesker's approach and it can be used with Wesker's OTG gunshot to extend his combos. Not sure how well he synergizes with Dante but I'm sure you can find something.

I'm also running a scrub Dante, after killer bee I do s.S. xx Clay Pigeon xx Prop Shredder which might do slightly more than what you have. It's a bit harder but after the first volcano you can do j.H xx Air Play, j.H s.S xx Clay Pigeon... and then use your ground bounce to tack on a second Volcano xx Beehive at the end. The extra damage you get is a little underwhelming but you do get noticeably more meter.

I'm running Haggar/Dante/Dr.D if you want to give the mayor a roll. I picked up Dante explicitly for his synergy with Haggar and it gives him (fairly easy) touch of death combos.

What is a good combo to go into after Dante tags somebody with j.S or the hammer? I've been doing Volcano, j.MH xx Killer Bee, s.S, j.MH xx Sky Dance xx Million Dollars but that seems pretty suboptimal.

You should probably pick Vergil since he's captain derp. Here's the SRK combo thread it should satisfy your combo needs. http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/i-have-come-to-retrieve-my-power-you-cant-handle-it-vergil-combo-thread.148808/

It'd probably save more effort to just buy a 360 controller, or dual-mod yours if you're using a stick. Tournaments are really inconsistent in what consoles they use, and many smaller tournaments have a mix of 360 and ps3, so you never really know what you're going to get.

There's also this dongle coming out, which, though it seems made more for wireless controllers, it appears to have a USB slot in the front so you could probably hook up a TE to it.

At least, I hope so, since that would be really pretty awesome.
