Glad I could be there to give you a win. Also, my confusion in starting was due to the fact that I've never used IRC, so it took me a bit to figure out. That said, I need to practice some more. I think I managed to pull off one combo that whole tournament.

Just stick to characters that are intuitive and make sense, and don't be afraid to pick characters that aren't top-tiers to compose your team. Your team made a lot of sense but Doom doesn't make a lot of sense to play (imho) for someone with little fighting game experience, even though he has some great assists, it's kind of strange getting in with him sometimes. Try picking up Nova! That's a joke, but he was one of the characters that helped make this game really "click" in to place for me, even though I hated him because of the red health gimmick when the game first came out. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of beginners stuff out there but just keep playing and you will get better.

Taskmaster has very easy combos, excellent zoning skills, decent projectile invincibility, and insane x-factor damage. Also, the simple nature of his stuff makes it easy to keep his stuff going online. I pretty much always point new players to him.

The sad thing is that I can do Doom's footdive combo consistently in training. My lack of experience against other players and playing online had me bumbling like I just picked up the game though. I'm going to try playing online a bit more to try to get used to it and maybe I'll do better next time. I played some casuals after I was eliminated and had some luck replacing Doom with Wesker. I guess I'm that guy.

Yeah, everyone who's played MVC3 enough it just waiting for Weskers to teleport. Even though it's one of his strongest abilities, you need to remember to almost never raw teleport especially if Wesker is anchor and there are no assists left to cover it.

I'm running into the same problem, I have several good combos with Doom from various places on the stage, but I just can't get good enough confirms with him. I need to practice airdashing after starter footdives but for some reason the timing escapes me.

If they get hit by uwt then the combo is jump webzip down j.h s.mh h spidersting/bite c.h s mmh h spideyswing mms skrull assist l webthrow and then crawler assault if they're thor. Edit: The italics part is my raw spidersting combo so omit that since there isn't enough hitstun to go around. Also thats ugly as poo poo does anybody remember the link to the goon combo annotations?

Ybrik posted:Thoughts on my new team chemistry? Also please don't mention my third character its a surprise for Bumble Chump on Thursday. Anyway, your new team works pretty well. You get pretty decent lockdown from the assist. The assist itself has its problems but I'm sure you know what those are. Imo, the biggest issue with your game is that your spidey falls apart a little bit when your lockdown patterns are evaded. Like, you will throw out unsafe web throws or actually get caught in drones for a moment. Maybe that was just a problem for you against me because I so rarely managed to get out and hit you. Something you did really well in a few games was make sure you kept me in the corner which made your spiderman stuff way harder to deal with. Of your whole team I'd say Skrull is doing the least for you. I didn't feel as pressured when I was fighting him. I think it's because he doesn't use the assist the same way spidey does. Spidey has web zip, web ball, and web throw to back up the assist and keep me locked down until the assist connects and locks me down. Skrull doesn't really have any bullshit to make me stand there and get hit by the assist. Plus, even if he does get me locked down what's he gonna do for a mixup besides that square dash followed by the down + H move?

I haven't quite gotten used to using skrull with racer X but its pretty much a free grab if you're on the ground when I call him out. I need to check the block stun/set the dummy to try and jump but really you're like the second person I've played with that team and when I would use skrull I'm so used to anchor skrull I was kinda  . But Skrull/racer X synergy is actually the reason I added him I just gotta grind it out till I get my patient skrull back. He makes random meteor smashes safe and comboable if the distances are right his down h and charge s too.Anyways thanks for your feedback. I gotta grind out his combo's too I miss Tasky's normals already. Ybrik fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Aug 4, 2012 |

I need to check the block stun/set the dummy to try and jump but really you're like the second person I've played with that team and when I would use skrull I'm so used to anchor skrull I was kinda I don't play Skrull but his moveset seems designed to do what you're describing, keep people at midrange so's he can surprise them with the hitbox size of rolling hook, command grab them, and hit them with ambiguous meteor smashes. One move he has that seems to suck is stone dunk. That thing has the worst hitbox/size of graphic ratio. It looks like it will hit the whole screen and it actually hits... pretty much nothing. For how long it takes to charge up it deserves more. I was gonna recommend that you do random meteor smashes w/ racer X assist instead of air dash down H all the time but I don't play Skrull so I didn't want to tell you what to do. Racer X's assist seems PERFECT for Skrull's command grab. If you can get the assist out at the right range I think it's a guaranteed grab whether they block it or not. I don't know why you were using random Orbital Grudge so much. One time you baited me into Happy Happy Trigger w/ Deadpool then did Death Penalty, which was nice. Other than that I was kinda like "lol random grudge".

I fell in love with orbital grudge cause it has super armor and is pretty safe(I never actually do the one thats safe). Also Stone dunk is pretty good the hit box actually matches the graphic unlike in Vanilla but its pretty free to airgrabs so Wolverine/sentinel is not the team to be doing that against. But even with these excuses the answer to why I did anything at a given point in time is my hands did it before I could think about it, sometimes good other times not so much.

I think I've seen people loop c.m, c.h xx qcb+l~l, df.h with Wesker like 3 or 4 times, but I can't seem to get it more than twice, whenever I go for the third rep the c.m, doesn't connect. I'm trying with shades on. Does having shades off help? Any other tips? Looking at that Wesker video 2 pages ago, 3 reps seems to be the max and you need around 8 hits or so for the 3rd rep to land. Does anyone have frame data for Wesker's c.m vs s.m? Ok I like this one the best so far, M,H xx qcf.H~H (cancel after first hit of H), c.M, c.H, df.H, c.M, c.H,S,M,M,H,S (then just add gun plus assists.) If I used one of the assists to open the character up I skip the df.H because of the increased hit stun deterioration. Overall c.M, c.H, df.H is easier to follow up with c.M or M then qcf+L~L. This is pretty easy execution wise, but I'm pretty sure it's not optimal. I practice my combos on Zero so it's impossible to get 2 reps of c.M, c.H, df.H because his hit box is too small to be hit with the 3rd rep of c.M to go into launcher.

Yeah I don't mean to criticize as if I don't do things sometimes because I did it without thinking about it. Sometimes you use orbital grudge when you're pretty far away from like, Deadpool. That's just asking to be punished while you're in recovery. Skrull's not like Haggar or Hulk where you can use a move like that to bait a punish then cancel to super. It's definitely a bad idea to whiff orbital grudge against Deadpool but I'm pretty sure I could punish it with Wolverine or Sent too. One of these days I will learn a new character. I feel like Deadpool doesn't really do much for Wolverine. I'm working on Dante for Jam Session at the moment. ^^^^^^^^^^ I assume you want startup frames. Wesker's c.M and s.M are both 8.

My lack of experience against other players and playing online had me bumbling like I just picked up the game though. I'm going to try playing online a bit more to try to get used to it and maybe I'll do better next time. I have this same problem sometimes. Even after playing fighters for the last two years pretty consistently. Three things I can offer as advice: 1) Keep at it. Don't get discouraged. You'll eventually get used to getting that hit confirm, and you won't get so excited that you mash your combo, or that you panic so much that you flat our freeze up and drop it. 2) Grind those combos. Even though you can do it consistently in training keep going back in there and spending a little bit on it. Do it on different sized characters. You want it to be so habitual that your hands will just do it even if your brain is still trying to process the situation. 3) Realize that when you're online, you're going to just flat out drop poo poo sometimes because it's online. I always thought it was me because I only ever played online for months after the game came out. Once I got to play in person, I tore it up. It was so much better. Some guys can do those long combos online but they're probably just more experienced. It doesn't matter just get back in there and try to hit it next time. Hope all of that helps. So throughout the day I have been booting the game up for a bit to work on Doom's TAC/Marlin Pie/swag combo. I probably spend about 3 hours total. I am getting pretty consistent with it, but just now I had to stop because my loving right index finger is shooting pain through my arm every time I slap those Ls (or S for fly).  Working on that combo is so great though. It's like all of the Doom combos I worked on over the last year were individual parts, and now I'm putting the whole thing together.

Mesothelioma posted:Every character people use that I don't use is overpowered He has some decent unblockable set ups, and Zack Bennet makes Firebrand+Dormammu look easy. He still works too hard for damage, and dies too quickly, though. Just make sure you snap in whatever assist he is using to set up unblockables and laugh your way to the victory screen.
