Tips for my Teams?

[Tequila Lemon]

Hi, assuming there's people reading this forums, could i get some advice on my teams composition?, i mostly build around themes rather than practicality, but i was wondering the viability of these teams?

Team Avengers:
Hawkeye - Frontal shot assist (cant remember the name atm)
Captain America - Charging Star
Iron Man - Repulsor blast

My "strategy" is to Zone with Hawkeye and build meter for Tony, Cap mostly there for the assist, being an avenger and the one im most familiar with from older mahvels

Team Favorites:
Zero - Hadangeki
Taskmaster - Frontal shot (dont remember this either)
Strider - Vajra

No real strategy here, just putting my fav character together, mainly try to get a couple of kills with Zero, build meter for Hiryu and use Taskmaster if i need to zone somebody, also like his combos

Probably Taskmaster needs to be replaced, but i like him too much so, What teams can Task fit in?, or Who can substitute him on my current team?

Your avengers team would work better if you changed the order to Cap/Tony/Hawk. Hawk is the best anchor on that team and having him in an assist spot will let you do cartwheel crossups with cap which is the only good mixup cap has. On incoming you'll want to use repulser+cartwheel(I think, not sure how far repulser throws the enemy when it crosses up in the corner, I think it throws them back in the corner regardless?...) but once a character is in arrows are much better for that gimmick.
Also having Tony in the second spot will let you go for TAC infinites when cap can't kill with your available resources.

Your other team is plenty viable and is pretty similar to a team a high level player named Killer Kai uses with the only difference being he uses Vergil instead of Strider though he might use Task's up arrow assist as well, idr. Just search Killer Kai on Youtube and you'll find plenty of footage of Zero/Task puting in work.
That isn't to say Task couldn't be replaced by something more useful like Doom but you seem to like the character so I would stick with what you have since it is most definitely viable as is and it's almost always best to play what you like even if it's not entirely optimal.

Thanks for the advice, i happen to be learning Doom atm since he's my favorite Marvel villain, so i might alternate between Task and him, as for Hawkeye, can you recommend players to watch?, never figured to have Clint as the anchor since he does ok as my point (at least against CPU), so i can learn some strats

Edit: Recommended assist for Doom in a Zero-Doom-Strider team?, im thinking on hidden misiles but wish to hear opinions

NP. Doom is also my favorite. :) So much so I actually play him on point even though that's the worst position for him.

Most notable Clint players off the top of my head are IFC Yipes and Flux though Flux plays Vergil now instead. Yipes doesn't play a ton since he's usually doing commentary for the various tournaments but you can still find plenty of footage of him and there should stll be a ton of older videos of Flux when he was still maining Clint.

As far as Doom assist for Zero all three are viable and alot of Zero's now switch between them depending on matchups.
Basically the advantage of missiles is that Zero gets a really nice combo extension with them and they help controll the top of the screen which is where characters with a strong air game will spend most of their time against Zero.
Advantage of beam is mostly just ground control and improved zoning game though you can also do teleport mixups with it and it's good for adding extra layers to incoming mixups if the oponent manages to block the first layer or two and makes it to the gound without being opened up.
Advantage of rocks is mostly just even better ground control than beam. Rocks are the least used and you usually only see Zero's switch to them as a counter to Logan and other characters that can threaten Zero on the ground.

Since you have Strider I would be inclined to go with beam personally simply due to missiles being somewhat redundant with Vajra already on the team.
FWIW Zero/Doom/Vergil teams usually run missiles but they already have Vergil for a horizontal assist and Vergil with missile assist is stronger than Vergil+beam.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, so my team gameplay wouldn't change too much except when Doom tags in since i already use the "beam" assist with Task, so i guess ill stick to missiles if only for variety - i tried molecular shield and feels way slower and unsafe than MvC 2, maybe it's just my inexperience and miss the timing for it, but that's how i feel.

Been watching Kai's videos and most of them are very exciting matches (except for lightning loops, i agree it needs skill to perform but jeez, it's boring to watch ), well, all that's left for me is to practice and git gud :)

Shield is definitely slow compared to beam however that's only true at longer ranges. When the rocks start swirling around Doom they are an active hitbox that will hit enemies and even eat some projectiles. Because of that rocks work as a jank "get off me" assist and they also function very well as a pinning assist in the corner which I forgot to mention before.
They do move slower than beam as a projectile for sure but that's part of why they offer better ground control.

Also once the rocks are out they can go through pretty much any non-hyper enemy projectile since they are counted as 3 different projectiles stacked on top of each other so something like a beam will eat the middle rocks but the bottom rocks(and maybe top) will still keep going unhindered.

I definitely agree with the beam choice and you pretty much can't go wrong with that one, it's just that rocks do offer a number of advantages over beam once you're used to how they work.


And yeah, Zero is alot of fun to watch except for his "movies" but at least you get some pre-loop combo variety depending on what assists he has. :P

Oh and if you haven't seen this Kai video yet you're missing out because it's hype AF:

if you want a team to kill everyone character, you must change taskmaster to vergil, and you have a Touch Of Dead team.

Zero,Vergil Strider, Ryuenjin-RapidSlash, Vajra.

Just look videos of Marn of something like clockwork except doom :v

Thanks for the advice, yes, i was considering Vergil too but i dont like him as much as Task, although it would definitely improve my team a lot it would feel less like "my" team Vergil's still my first choice when serious / salty tho

And for the video, i watched it and hory sh%t that was awesome, i remembered there was a pro player that went shirtless when he was getting serious but forgot who he was... till now

Also watched some Yipes vids, and while he's not playing Hawkeye on this one his Magneto is damn scary

I just started playing and my "strategy" is to pick the hottest chixorz. Just thought I'd provide a contrast to your well-thought out strategies. :D

P.S. She-hulk, Felicia and Chunners would totally be best friends in the real life.

Its an "old game" só i would rather play a team that can give you a chance against the veterans, anything with doom and vergil plus your favorite front. If you just want to have fun than any combination of characters that you like plus some time in training mode to develop some mix ups will do the trick i guess.
