Is Lariat assist still good? I've heard reports of it being poo poo and of it being pure bullshit.

AFAIK it's still invincible except on two frames of startup, so if you're good at predicting rushdown I bet Haggar will still be pretty decent.

Log trap assist might work pretty well with Arthur but you need a "get off me" assist for both of them. Haggar's is still okay, and Frank might work pretty well.

My copy hasn't shipped yet, but I hope it's just because I ordered the release-date shipping on Amazon.

Just try out characters until you find one that really fits your playstyle. It'll surprise you (I never expected to main El Fuerte in SSF4).

As far as I can tell Lariat is still a really god damned strong assist.

Also his OTG isn't nearly as useless as everyone thought:

My Arthur/Haggar team is now officially validated. I mean, drat, 100% combos on near-everyone in the cast in the corner for one meter that builds itself.

And yeah, people act like Lariat got as nerfed as Gustaff Fire, but the fact is it only got invincibility removed for two frames on startup. It was punishable by beams and whatnot anyway, so it's not that big a deal.

As long as we're on the subject, how important would you say it is for Strange to set up Graces of Hanna? Should I look for places whenever possible or just pop some up when the opponent's KO'd or something?

Besides using a red one for OTG in the corner, of course.

Also, Dr. Strange and Hawkeye should form a team of people with instant golden supers that kick everyone's rear end. Can't think of a third, though.

So I played a couple matches online (the lag really is terrible) and I'm enjoying my Frank/Dante/Doom team (affectionately nicknamed "The Fruit Bowl" for its citrus-shaded costumes). Only problem is, I'm having a lot of trouble getting in with level 1 Frank. After I get some shots, I can use the CvS roll to dodge my way in, but until I can get a combo in I get zoned out by pretty much everything. Should I teleport in with Dante then TAC into Frank?

Also, re:stream, I'm happy a big-name player like Jwong is using Iron Fist. I love the character's style and it would be a shame if he were left by the wayside for not having an air game.

The issue with the THC stuff is getting two bars-Frank's BnB doesn't give enough meter to get the THC out at the start of a match and once it begins it's a lot harder to start one. But if there's some way around it I'll use the beam or switch Doom out for Hawkeye (3x arrows) or Sent (drones).

You should move Hsien-ko to the front so you can use her gold super ASAP and then switch out. She's way, way better as an assist than actually fighting.

It sounds like you're being crossed up by assists. Make sure to block in the direction of your opponent's point character, not their assist.

Try Sentinel with drones. Advanced Sentinel play has fly-unfly stuff but he's a decent character for beginners and the drones will help you get in.

Once you get more experience, try using Doctor Doom, he's good on just about any team.

My copy of the New Testament came in today and I spent half an hour trying Dante combos. My fingers hurt, but it was worth it.

Should I switch Dante's and Frank's order in my team for Dante/Frank/Doom? TACing in with Frank would make getting to level 3 a lot easier.

I've really gotten into Firebrand. I really love his mobility options and as an El Fuerte main his awful damage doesn't really bother me. I just need to find a good team for him.

Also, now that I've ordered a TE stick I should be better able to use characters such as Taskmaster who require you to press L+H for useful hypers.

Vergil works better with more meter, so personally I'd run Hawk/Doom/Vergil. His Rapid Slash should be good for putting the opponent into blockstun for Hawkeye, as well.

Firebrand stuff

Good to know! I've found that if you hit with DP+H you can hitconfirm by doing the foot dive (d+H) before landing with QCB+L. It wastes a ground bounce but if you're not confident if you're going to follow up worse things could happen.

Firebrand works pretty great as setup for Frank West–One BnB combo into a TAC will get Frank to at least level 3 without much effort, and Firebrand's mixup game is so good that if the TAC fails he has a large number of ways to try again. Not to mention Bon Voyage racks up huge amounts of hits. Still, I wish there were a slightly less luck-based way to do it.
