If you want a good Zero player to watch to learn Zero, I definitely recommend searching for Flux. He's not the toppest tier of Zero player, but he's from the NYC area so there's a ton of footage of him at every NYC local. You can see him improve pretty rapidly over the past 6~ months and pick up a lot of stuff by watching him imo.

Woo, I don't own a console but my friend is letting me borrow his PS3 while my gf is in Switzerland.

Last time I borrowed it I was able to get up to 6th Lord with a gimmicky but damaging Nemesis/Wesker/Doom team.

Been practicing Firebrand/Doom/Ammy but I have 0 match experience, just getting BnBs down. I also finally got a 4th loop in to Doom's corner BnB, pushing my solo 1 meter damage up to 888k :)

I entered into the Challonge bracket for tomorrow, I'm definitely going to get creamed as I haven't even been practicing my "main" team, it's going to be fun either way.

I run Nemesis(slam)/Doom(beam)/Wesker(gun) online and it's insanely good for a lag heavy environment. You can get 100% on almost every character with just Nemesis ground series into wall bounce punch, air series, wesker relaunch, air series, rocket super, dhc into sphere flame, which is almost impossible to mess up. The main weakness of my order is that Doom comes in without a real assist for him, but online I'll take Xfactor 3 Wesker over any other character.

Offline I'm runnning Doom(missiles)/Frank(cart)/Vergil(slash) or Wesker(gun)/Doom (beam)/Vergil(slash)

Yeah it's my "online" and "still playing on a pad" team. Armored normals and lag were made for each other. I'm using the same assists but I put Wesker second because I like to DHC into Maximum Wesker to get the glasses off, I actually like having Doom anchor a bit more just because he's got some keepaway / chip tools for bad matchups, though I'm guessing most people would prefer Wesker anchor for the 5-hit 100% combos.

Adding two ground-bounce resets to my Dante combo nets me a whopping 30,000 damage. :negative:

Is there a trick to really getting damage out of Dante? Also, what is the best way to extend his combos with Plasma Beam? After I've already used my wallbounce can I do S, C.Pigeon, Stinger+Call Doom, B.Move, S.Dance for yet another groundbounce reset?

For 3 weeks in a row no one entered so I stopped making the bracket. If people can think of a better day that works for 360 players I'd start making the bracket again or one of you could make your own.

Finish with a level 3? doing those extra ground bounces are about building meter, not adding a ton of damage.

Besides his tights, his fragility, and his uncanny resemblance to Clark Gable, how is Strange terrible? This would help me out, because I was thinking of trying him myself.

Pretty much this. he's not the worst character and I like a lot of his game but holy poo poo he has no buttons and everything is -15 frames and ugh. I really like Bolts of Balthak and I wish I knew what to do when somebody got within 10 feet of him.

Those combos look awesome but I never get ground throws (and I can't imagine ever having Wolvie in XF3). Still, it's nice to see new confirms for Wolvie, thanks.

The most recent Wolvie thing I've been incorporating is Barrage + Drones. For some reason I thought it was scrubby and never did it. Turns out it's amazing at certain distances.

Unfortunately this is the only team I was able to assemble.


Me vs. Bone Claw Wolverine


Me vs. a Captain America that blocked too much.


Me playing Heroes & Heralds mode


Li'l Dubs and Big Dubs teaming up to saturate the globe


Wait what is this what is happening

OK this is getting weird I am confused
