Dunno I haven't played this game in forever, plus I have wolverine point. Right now the order I was using today was Wolvie/sent/haggar. Haggar lets me extend Wolverine combos and I can do the double super combo with wolverine using the haggar assist. Thought about using Akuma instead because it's obvious but I had fun with Haggar earlier.

Haggar in the middle is always good, and he loves drones assist (it's not his FAVORITE but c'mon, it's drones). Maybe try that?

Anyone have any good tips on doing Doom's midscreen combos? I can do the Buktooth loop fairly well but they always seem to drop out after the second rep. I tried going into training mode and doing the other midscreen combo (where you do two j.M's really spaced out and then dash down and over) but I can never seem to get over to the person's body in time to pick them back up.

Sent/Haggar: Sent gets to jump, fly, and call Haggar offscreen for a mixup. Sent gets a get off me assist. These are both great things for Sent.
Haggar/Sent: Haggar gets drones which are maybe not the best assist for him. He doesn't really have a high/low game or a left/right game that would allow him to capitalize off of drones. Best he can really do is command throw people who get caught ducking under drones.

I vote Sent/Haggar.

Doing two Buktooth loops can be tough and even impossible if confirming off air-to-air. You absolutely have to keep them as low to the ground as possible which means both hitting the first sj.m as soon as possible and delaying your addf.m as late as possible. You can omit the cr.m on the ground if the opponent is low enough already, just go straight into the cr.h

Everyone usually goes for at most 1 buktooth into the double footdives. The trick to the double footdive is making sure you're cancelling your addf into a j.m or j.l quickly (as of late I've started using l over m but I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes). Getting your triangle jump motion as short as possible is also crucial.

Haggar gets a huge boost in damage and meter by being able to extend his combos with assists. Two "assist call, drop kick, pipe, hooligan" relaunches in one combo will get you a touch of death even off of air throws on most characters. Lariat assist is great, but in my opinion Haggar with only one assist behind him is half the character he could be.

- He needs horizontal coverage to help him get in, Plasma Beam works great here.
- Pipe is the foundation of your whole gameplan, once you've asserted your dominance with it you have crouching light to catch them trying to jump and command throw when they freeze up. The low/throw mixup is especially effective after they block an assist.
- Lariat is your other primary tool, it shuts down a huge number of your opponents offensive options. Cancel into the, also invincible, punches hyper to catch attempted punishes.
- When you use lariat as an anti-air you can drop kick them into an assist to combo; otherwise use the punches hyper, you want to punch them in the feet and DON'T mash so you can launch afterward.
- On incoming characters light violent axe is a pretty wicked cross-up and it's safe if they're high enough in the air when they block it, combo out of it with L, M, light hooligan. Flyers like to airdash out of this mixup, just jump at the last second and swat them with pipe; similarly jump up and command throw against double jumpers.
- If your opponent is right up in your face at the start of the round try an instant air headbutt. Use up-forward to option select a throw and use a delayed chain to air S for a combo and potential cross-up on block.
- Drop kick, kara pipe, team super is usually your best combo ender but you can do for good damange off of one bar with assist call, drop kick, pipe, punches hyper (mash like hell for that red aura!). If you don't kill them they flip out before the last hit and can punish you :buddy:.

Hard knockdowns. Skrull's air tenderizer is a hard knockdown on all hits but the last if I recall correctly. He also tends to drift downwards just slightly during it. The idea is that air to ground will cancel tenderizer before last hit, and the sweep kick has so much hit stun that you can just loop it forever.

So far I'm at like 190-150 and I just dropped from mid-level 6th Lord to 6th Scout. Mind you, I probably went a measly 5-10 as a 6th Lord before losing Lord status.

I run Wolverine(all his assists suck)/Deadpool(OTG)/Sentinel(drones). XBL: Joey Aces. I need to get better and I'd like to hear some feedback from better players.

After you do the THC, when you knock down with pipe - You could probably do THC->pipe x lariat and Do the punches super for a kill with one less bar/a different variation of the combo. Or at least lariat->punches instead. Punches to bracelet should probably do more damage.

edit: It should be noted I'd prefer to get lariat into combos as much as some people try to squeeze in dropkicks or pipes, you could totally get like 4 in there.

I can't get ground pipe xx lariat to work after the THC, I think they're too low so they hit the ground too fast. I tried it with lariat into punches super after the THC and it nets me a decent amount less damage since a few hits of punches miss, and the last few hits of goddess bracelet miss as well.

I had to go fiddle around with this for my team, the more I play Haggar the more I'm convinced that the simple stuff does the most damage. With Haggar/Dante/Doom easy "hooligan, air combo, wild swing" loops get you 1.77m; starting with the highly impractical, but incredibly stylish, super jump across the screen, air H, land, jump, headbutt, pause, air S, land, M, light hooligan you break 1.8m. Dante's bonkers THC probably helps a bit here but I can't see the more complicated stuff netting more damage.

My friends have started playing this game again, so I decided to start as well. I wanted to change my team up, but couldn't decide which setup was better.

1) Vergil/Morrigan/Doom

I like Vergil on point with the Morrigan battery, and if he goes down I still have Morri/Doom to back things up. Doom would be using Plasma Beam assist, which is solid, but I'm not sure if Morrigan can really take advantage of it. There's no OTG assist for combo extension, but I don't think that's a serious issue.

2) Morrigan/Doom/Vergil

This is what my friend recommended to me (who has a lot more experience). Similar team except Vergil is on anchor. Apparently Vergil with XFC/meter is even more stupid then Doom with XFC/meter. Doom would have hidden missiles in this team, but I'm just learning Vergil now, so he definitely would not be doing anything super flashy.

This. If you have morrigan and doom on the same team there's no reason to not use missiles. I also agree with your friend that Vergil should not be on point, but it's up to you whether he or Doom are last.

Morrigan/Vergil/Doom is what Chris G is playing, and Viscant thinks it's the best team in the game right now. Having Vergil second gives you a good DHC whether you're just trying to get Morrigan out or trying to kill a character (Viscant says random fireball juggles into combo, OTG uppercut super DHC swords into loop = at least 1.05m damage).

Also, I'd rather have Vergil with missiles than Doom with Vergil's assist (the one where he charges across the screen. Rapid Slash?).

That reminds me a of those old infinites Skrull and Hulk may or may not still have, can't remember. Makes me wonder if all characters with a Soft Knockdown move in the air and a move that ignores hitstun have an infinite.

Well I guess I'll go with the FOTM and run Morri/Vergil/Doom.

I never had to play a char with charge moves in their combos so Vergil will be interesting. Although I suppose I could learn his combos without round trip, but tossing that in just adds a ton of damage and extension.

I'm not the best vergil or anything but I found just as a rule holding down L any time you start a combo is a good way to get used to it, also doing supers with L+M and holding L after that. I generally go straight from lm cr.h stinger -> teleport to start my swords loops, although you may find it easier to do the lmh stinger dp.l teleport.h jump mhs to start yours, you hold down the L on the dp.L then either go straight into swords or do dp.m into it and you end up with a round trip for keeping it going with plenty of time to spare.

Also always charge after doing the qcf super as a finisher because letting it go any time after the super finishes then doing teleport.m and dash under them + possibly dashing back after that mixup that feels so godlike to do.
