My Favorite Characters
Before going into the specifics of each character I use, here is a categorization of the characters.
1. Most reliable combo character: Iceman
I can almost always pull off the air combo ? Arctic Attack combo.
2. Best keepaway: Blackheart
Blackheart’s demons with good projectile and anti-air assists make
it hella hard for anyone to get close to Blackheart. If they stay
away, they get chipped; if they jump-in, they get nailed by anti-air.
3. Best solitary character: Psylocke, Iceman
Psylocke is good alone because her LK Psi Spin is excellent air defense
and she can combo her super. She can also teleport if she needs to
get close.
Iceman is good alone because his super air combo can take off hella
damage. His Icebeams are also good for chipping and keepaway.
It is also a plus that he cannot be chipped by energy projectiles.
4. Best follow-up super: Commando, Blackheart, Silver Samurai
Commando is good in the respect that his Captain Sword can hit the
opponent no matter where he is on the screen. However, he is vulnerable
if his super is blocked.
Blackheart’s Heart of Darkness is excellent because it targets the
opponent no matter where they are. However, it doesn’t always lock
on properly. Judgment Day is good for switching in Blackheart because
he is safe afterward. Armageddon is good when the opponent is getting
hit near the top of the screen.
As long as the opponent is in the air, Silver will do a ton of damage.
Yeah!
5. Best projectile assist: Iceman, Blackheart
Iceman is a little better than Blackheart because he beats everything.
Blackheart is good because his thunder goes under everything and keeps
going even if Blackheart gets hit. It also lasts a long time too.
6. Best anti-air assist: Commando, Psylocke, Ryu, Cammy/etc.
Commando is the best anti-air assist because it cover hella range and
does a lot of damage.
The opponent can be OTGed after Psylocke’s assist hits.
Ryu, Akuma, and Ken are good anti-airs against high priority jump-ins
because they are all invulnerable. They can also hit characters that
are flying or high in the air. However, they have huge delay afterwards.
Cammy and similar anti-air assists are similar to the Shotokaners except
that they are not invulnerable.
7. Best expansion assist: Akuma
Because Akuma’s assist keeps hitting the opponent a couple times,
almost any super can be comboed during the assist. It is also easy
to tell if the opponent is getting hit because they become electricuted.
However, this assist will not hit small characters and it is hard to to
launch them for an air combo. This assist is best with characters
with fast, decent range supers.
8. Best ground assist: Silver Samurai
Samurai is almost as good as Akuma because he also hits multiple times,
trapping the opponent. Samurai’s assist is better than Akuma’s
assist in the respect that it hits low and sets up air combos easier.
However, it is harder to determine if the opponent is getting hit, making
it more difficult to connect a super afterwards. This assist is good
for characters who can do powerful air combos.
Now, here are in-depth details on the characters I like to use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Iceman
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like Iceman because he takes no block damage from energy attacks,
can combo his super in an air combo very easily, can play keepaway, and
has an excellent projectile assist attack. He is my most reliable
combo character ? I can almost always do air combo ? Arctic Attack combo.
The only problem is that he doesn’t have a good jump-in attack.
His HK does fine, but is ineffective against good launchers.
My favorite color is purple (MK). The rest look all the same
to me.
One good technique to use with Iceman is normal jump backwards and fire the LP Ice Beam while he is falling back. The Ice Beam will fall with him. Just firing the LP Ice Beam is not a good idea because it can be jumped over, leaving Iceman vulnerable. Another good technique is jumping forward and firing the HP Ice Beam. If you think the opponent is going to super jump, super jump and fire the LP Ice Beam. This is good against Blackheart. If the opponent already super jumped from far away, fire the HP Ice Beam on the ground.
-------------------------
Special moves:
-------------------------
Icebeam: QCF + P
Iceman sticks out his arms and fires a beam of ice across the screen. The LP goes horizontally, and the HP goes diagonally up. In the air, the HP goes diagonally down. This move does four ticks of block damage.
Ice ball: QCF + K
Iceman swings his hand from up to down and drops a huge ice ball.
I don’t use this move.
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. D. C. LK, C. HK /\ SJ: LP, LK, MP, MK ? Arctic Attack
2. J. HK \/ C. LK, C. HK /\ air combo
3. C. HK /\ air combo
4. (blocked) C. LK, C. HK ? LP Ice Beam
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Projectile: LP Ice Beam
This is one of the best projectile assists in the game because it reaches to the end of the screen instantly and does good block damage. An excellent projectile assist to follow behind.
b) Variety: Ice ball
c) Balance: LP Ice Beam
-------------------------
Versus strategy:
-------------------------
1. Opponent throws lots of crap:
Super jump and do HP Ice Beam
2. Iron Man, War Machine, Storm fly:
HP Ice Beam
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) Akuma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like Akuma because he has many ways to combo his super and can also
play keepaway with his air fireballs. His expansion assist is good
at close range.
However, he is apparently the third weakest character in the game.
For example, he takes 75% damage from a Gamma Crush, which is way too much
damage.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
My favorite color is black and white (HP).
LP: HP: white Assist 1: purple
LK: gray HK: red Assist 2: gray with gray hair
My favorite color is white (MP). There is also red, purple, black, and brown.
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. C. LK, C.MK ? Messatsu Gou Shouryu
This is the basic combo Akuma has had in all of the Versus games. However, because this game is fast, you have to cancel the MK immediately. I only do this combo when I know it is going to hit, such as when an opponent has just switched in.
2. D. C. LK, C. MK ? HK Tatsumaki Zankuukyaku ? Tenma Gou Zankuu
This is the combo I go for most of the time. It is very easy to tell when the opponent is getting hit just by watching if they get electricuted by the spinkick. It can also nail the opponent’s assist character is s/he was just called out (as long as isn’t a dragon punch type assist). Don’t do the spinkick against small characters (Strider, Spidey, Roll, Ko-bun, etc.) cuz they can duck and hit with something.
3. C. HP /\ SJ: LP, LK, MP, MK, HK Tatsumaki Zankuukyaku ? Tenma Gou Zankuu
Tenma Gou Zankuu must be done right after the first hit of the spinkick or it wil miss or do very little damage.
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Projectile: Hadoken
Team super: Messatsu Gou Hadou
b) Anti-air: HP Shouryuken
Team super: Messatsu Gou Shouryu
c) Expansion: HK Tatsumaki Zankuukyaku
Team super: Spinkick super
I like to use this assist type the most because many supers can combo off of this.
-------------------------
Versus strategy:
-------------------------
1. Opponent throws lots of crap on ground:
Super jump in the air and throw LP Hadokens
2. Jumping in on characters with a high priority launcher
Dive kick
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Captain Commando
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commando’s advantages are that he can combo his super in many ways
and his anti-air assist has excellent priority and good range for an anti-air
attack. Captain Sword is also excellent for nailing the opponent’s
assist character.
Commando has so many disadvantages that discourage me from using him
much anymore. Commando’s first weakness is that his Captain Fire
has huge delay. If it gets jumped over, prepare to be punished.
Next, his super combos don’t always connect or do much damage. For
example, the Corridor ? Sword combo only does maximum damage if the opponent
doesn’t fly against the wall. If it’s against the wall, Sword only
does ticks of damage. The C. LK, C. HP ? Captain Sword combo doesn’t
always connect all the time. This means that it is very hard for
Commando to reliably do lots of damage at once.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
My favorite color is black and white (HP).
LP: dark blue & white HP: black & white Assist 1:
LK: HK: light blue & white Assist 2: pink
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. D. C. LK, C. HP ? Captain Storm
The HP must be cancelled very fast - watching for the electricution will be too late.
2. J. HP \/ C. HP ? Captain Storm
3. LP Captain Corridor ? Captain Sword
As soon as you see the opponent get electricuted, do Captain Sword or it will be too late.
4. S. LK, S. HK ? Captain Sword
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Projectile: Captain Fire
b) Anti-air: Captain Corridor
Team super: Captain Sword
This is one of the best anti-assists in the game because it covers good horizontal range for an anti-air move and goes to the top the screen.
c) Expansion: HK Captain Kick
-------------------------
Versus strategy:
-------------------------
1. Iron Man, War Machine, Storm, Sentinel fly around:
Captain Sword. If no super bar, then Janette assist (mummy with
knives)
2. Opponent normal jumps in with high priority attack:
LP Captain Corridor ? Captain Sword
This is kind of risky because if the opponent blocks the Corridor,
Commando will be open to quick attacks.
3. Opponent super jumps above me:
LP Captain Corridor ? Captain Sword
This is the best time to use Captain Corridor because there is
no way the opponent can nail Commando afterwards.
4. Opponent calls assist partner out and Commando can attack:
Captain Sword. Watch out for Magneto and Cable though, because
they can hit him after blocking the Sword.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4) Blackheart
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I really like Blackheart because he is very good keepaway against most of the characters in this game and has a decent chance against some of the dominant characters. Although he cannot combo like he did in MSF, he is still good.
-------------------------
Strategy:
-------------------------
If you want to switch Blackheart out using a double super, do
it with a SJ. Judgment Day because it is the safest. A NJ. Judgment
Day will be asking to be killed by air supers, and there is a possibility
for error for the ground Judgment Day. For example, you might throw
a portal or dash, which I have done and been punished for. Heart
of Darkness and Armageddon leave Blackheart vulnerable.
The safest way to switch Blackheart in is with Judgment Day.
Heart of Darkness is okay against characters who don’t have air supers
or anti-air supers like Captain Sword. Use Armageddon only when the
previous super was an air super that connected in the corner. Otherwise,
Blackheart will be left completely vulnerable.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
LP: Blue (MSF) ? HP: black A1: purple
LK: Faded blue (MSF) HK: black A2: D. purple
-------------------------
Special moves:
-------------------------
Inferno:
In this game, all of Blackheart’s Infernos are the Ice. The HP Inferno targets the opponent.
-------------------------
Supers:
-------------------------
Armageddon:
The rocks fall much faster now.
Heart of Darkness:
This super can now be comboed after the HP Inferno. However, Judgment Day cannot be comboed after Heart of Darkness anymore because the opponent pops away after the last hit.
Judgment Day:
Although the demons come out hella faster now, it does not chip as much as it did in MSF. Also, there is a delay after the air Judgment Day, which makes it difficult to throw consecutive air Judgment Days.
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. J. LK \/ C. LK, C. MK, C. LK, C. MK
The last two hits don’t get in, but sometimes it reaches and if the
opponent wasn’t blocking, they’ll get hit.
2. HP Dark Inferno ? Heart of Darkness
The Dark Inferno must be cancelled immediately after entering the command.
This means that you cannot wait for the Inferno to hit then do the Heart
of Darkness.
-------------------------
Assist Types:
-------------------------
a) Ground Type
Assist: LP Dark Thunder
Team super: Judgment Day
b) Anti-air Type
Assist: HP Dark Inferno
Team super: Heart of Darkness
Blackheart does his HP Dark Inferno which targets the opponent.
This assist is good because it targets where the opponent is.
However, because it takes a while for Blackheart to open the portal, he
can easily be hit beforehand. Nearly everytime I did it when the
opponent normal jumped at me, Blackheart was hit before he could throw
the portal. This assist should only be used only against super jumps
or turtlers.
c) Launch Type
Assist: S. MP (launcher)
Team super: Armageddon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) Psylocke
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like Psylocke because she was my favorite character in MSH.
Although she isn’t my best character, I like to use her when I’m tired
of using my main team.
One problem is that there is bad recovery on Psylocke’s launcher,
even when it is blocked.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
LP: Blue (MSH) MP: Glowing purple Assist 1: Tanned skin, purple hair,
L. blue suit
LK: D. blue suit MK: Dark blue Assist 2: Tan skin, blue hair, D. blue
suit
My favorite color is glowing purple (MP).
-------------------------
Special moves:
-------------------------
Psi Blast: QCF + P
The Psi Blast can either go diagonally down or forward. Only one can thrown in the air during one jump; if you double jump, you can throw two.
Psi Spin: QCF + K
Psylocke spins forward and up. This move can also be done
in the air.
The LK version is the best because Psylocke can recover quickly
even this move is blocked. The opponent can also be OTGed afterward
if s/he does not roll.
Teleport: QCB + P/K
Psylocke disappears and four image of Psylocke appear on all the corners of the screen. The location Psylocke will emerge from depends on the button hit. Although she cannot block or attack after teleporting, this delay can be cancelled by doing the Psi thrust (a direction and punch).
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. D. C. LK, C. HP /\ SJ: LP, LK, /\ + HK ? Kochou Gakure
This is the main combo I go for because it is the easiest way for her to link a super. After hitting the /\ + HK, watch for it (upward kick) to come out. As soon as you see it, then do the super. Otherwise, the opponent may not be high enough for the super to connect.
2. D. C. LK, C. HP /\ SJ. LP, LK, MP, MK, HK Psi Spin ? Butterfly super (Kochou Gakure)
I don’t go for this combo because it is hella hard to do and I mess up too much.
3. (opponent normal jumps at Psylocke) LK Psi Spin, (OTG) C. LK, C. HP /\ air combo
If the opponent doesn’t roll, you can get them everytime. Even if the opponent blocks, the Psi Spin, Psylocke will recover in time to block.
4. (blocked) C. LK, C. HP ? Assist or LP Psi Blast
If you don’t cancel the launcher with something, Psylocke will be left vulnerable to pain.
-------------------------
Assists:
-------------------------
a) Projectile Type
Assist: HP Psi Blast
Team super: Kochou Gakure
b) Anti-air Type
Assist: LK Psi Spin
Team super: Psi Spin
I like this assist because the opponent can be OTGed after Psylocke hits.
c) Balance Type
Team super: Psi Thrust
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) Silver Samurai
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A slow character, Silver cannot be used like Cammy or Psylocke to dash in and combo constantly. His attacks also have good reach but poor combo potential, not comboing all the time. However, his launch ? Raimei-ken combo does hella damage, and he is excellent for comboing after an air combo super. His Ground assist is also excellent for trapping the opponent and setting up combos. I think the best way to win with Silver is to make the opponent come to you by throwing his Shuriken or using a projectile assist. Once they are close, go for the launch ? Raimei-ken combo. Because this will take a long time, it will be best if he comes in second or third so the other characters can heal.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
LP: white HP: white Assist 1: black
LK: gray HK: gray Assist 2: white
My favorite color is black ? all the rest look the same.
-------------------------
Special moves:
-------------------------
Shuriken: QCF + P, joystick direction
Silver throws a huge ninja star that multi-hits.
After throwing the ninja star, its direction can be changed by moving
the joystick in the desired direction.
-------------------------
Supers:
-------------------------
Super Shuriken: QCF + 2P
Silver throws out three Shurikens horizontally across the screen.
Raimei-ken: QCF + 2K
Silver Samurai holds his katana up in the air while bolts of lightning
fly out to everywhere from his body. This super can be comboed off
the launcher.
If you want this super to connect, make sure the opponent is
in the air. If s/he is on the ground, it’ll just do a couple ticks
of damage and that’s it. The best times to do this super is after
hitting the opponent with the launcher or while they are falling down from
a vulnerable move (Dragon punch, Shouryu Reppa, etc.). The exception
is hitting assist characters ? no matter where they are, they will take
up 25% damage.
Versus the third and final form of Abyss, this super will do
80% damage against him.
Power up: QCB + P/K
Ice: QCB + LP
Defense goes up, but attack goes down 25%. Attacks will freeze the opponent.
Lightning: QCB + LK
Speed goes up, and attack power goes down 25%.
Fire: QCB + HP
Attack power goes up 25%, and defense goes down 75%. Yes, 75% reduction in defense! Do not ever use this power up unless you have a death wish!
Fire: QCB + HK
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. C. LP, C. HP ? Raimei-ken
This is the main combo I go for. The C. LP OTGs.
2. C. LP, C. HP /\ SJ. air combo: LP, LK, MP, MK, LP Shuriken
This is the combo I go for when I don’t have a super bar.
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Ground: Silver slashes his katana multiple times
This is Silver’s best assist because it can trap the opponent and set up lots of combos.
Team super: Silver slashes his katana while dashing forward.
b) Projectile: Shuriken
Team super: Super Shuriken
c) Launch: C. HP
Team super: Raimei-ken
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(7) Sakura
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura is back from MSF new and improved now. Her LP Shouken
can now combo off of weak attacks, and both Shoukens can be cancelled into
any super! Her launcher is actually decent now ? it comes out fast
and can combo well. She can also turn into Evil Sakura. They
both do the same damage, so it’s just the moves that are different.
I like normal Sakura because she can throw fireballs upward and it easier
to link supers after her close range supers. Evil Sakura is good
for punishing long range mistakes, bombarding fireballs, and the Shun goku
satsu, which does over half life now. Her friend also dances
with her now ?
One problem with normal Sakura is it is not safe to switch Sakura
during the consecutive supers if she doesn’t hit. The safest is
Midare Zakura, but that still has some recovery time. The best way
to switch in during consecutive supers is changing forms. If you
are Evil Sakura, there is nothing to worry about ? you just need to do
the Shinkuu Hadoken. Also, it is not very safe to start a switch
out with normal Sakura either.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
LP: HP: navy blue Assist 1: blue ?
LK: gray HK: pink ?? Assist 2: brown
-------------------------
Supers:
-------------------------
Evil Sakura/Normal Sakura transformation: Backwards DP + K
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. C. LK, C. HP /\ SJ: LP, LK, HK Shunpuukyaku
She cannot do a full zigzag or finish with the Shoouken anymore.
But that’s okay cuz this air combo does a lot of damage.
2. C. LK, C. MK ? LP Shouken ? Shinkuu Hadoken or Haru Ichiban
Whatever super you do, it’s best to wait a split second during the
Shoouken or the opponent will still be on the ground and be out of range.
The Shinkuu is the better bet because Haru Ichiban misses if you do it
too late. I’ve only missed once with the Shinkuu. Also, Haru Ichiban
will not hit small characters if they are still on the ground. Also,
many supers can follow the Shinkuu, while only a few can follow Haru Ichiban.
This is my favorite combo with Sakura. I don’t think Midare Zakura
can combo.
-------------------------
Good partners:
-------------------------
The best partners for Sakura are the ones who have a super that can link off of Sakura’s supers. Here is a partial list of the supers that can follow up Sakura’s supers, starting with her Shinkuu Hadoken:
? Mega Optic Blast, Raimei-ken, Judgement Day, Arctic Attack, Somersault
Justice, Final Justice, Super Psi Spin
? Must be done early: Shinkuu Hadoken, Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku,
Messatsu Gou Hadou
? In the corner: Heart of Darkness
The supers that can link after Haru Ichiban are:
? Raimei-ken, Captain Sword, Armageddon, Doom’s uppercut super, Super
Optic Blast
? Doesn’t do much damage: Shinryuken, Heart of Darkness, Akuma’s
kick super
Supers that can link after Midare Zakura are:
? Shinkuu Hadoken, Messatsu Gou Hadou, Captain Storm, Crossfire Blitz, Sonic Hurricane, etc. Many supers can follow Midare Zakura.
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
1) Dash: HP Shoouken
Normal Sakura
This is hella good because it beats projectiles and goes across the screen. Even if she is blocked, she bounces far away, leaving her safe from projectile supers like Judgment Day, Royal Flush, Mega Optic Blast, etc. Sakura can go through Iceman’s Icebeam, but she can’t go through Cable’s Viper Beam. Damn Cable!
Dark Sakura
Dark Sakura’s dash is not as good as Normal Sakura’s because she can no longer run through projectiles. Also, she always finishes with an uppercut, which leaves her vulnerable.
Team super: Haru Ichiban
2) Projectile: HP Hadoken
When Sakura is in the normal form (not in evil form), she throws a diagonally
up Hadoken. It is too slow for air defense.
If Sakura is in the evil form, her fireballs will go horizontally.
Her super will also be the beam.
Team super: Shinkuu Hadoken
3) Expansion: HK Shunppukyaku
I tried using this one in MSF, but it just sucked. Thankfully, in this game it targets the opponent.
Team super: Midare Zakura
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(8) Sentinel
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like Sentinel because he is one of the most dominant characters
in the game. He does tons of damage with each attack, has super armor
and takes little damage, and can combo his supers. He also has hella
range and is good for countering the cheap-ass Cable. Yeah, he does
too much damage, but it’s better than just getting cheaped to death by
Cable.
It is crucial that Sentinel have an anti-air assist. If
he is bum rushed, he will have a very difficult time getting away because
he is so huge and slow.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
LP: blue HP: blue & purple Assist 1: red & blue ?
LK: pale gray HK: black Assist 2: gray & blue
Launcher: S. HK
Flying: QCB + 2K
This move is good to use when your opponent is doing something on the ground like a super and you want to stay above it. This also allows Sentinel to attack with his LP Rocket Punch.
-------------------------
Supers:
-------------------------
Plasma Storm: QCF + PP
Although super has very short range, it can be comboed.
Sentinel Force: QCF + KK
This super should be used mainly to nail assist characters wherever they are on the screen (even behind Sentinel) and chipping opponents to death. It can also be used to hit characters far away, but it requires some timing. This is the best super to use to switch Sentinel in if the first super didn’t hit.
Super Dash: (in the air) QCF + PP
This super can be comboed in air combo just like Shinkuu Hadoken can.
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. J. HP or HK ? LP Rocket Punch
2. HP ? HP Rocket Punch
3. HP ? Super Sentinel Force
4. J. LP or HK ? S. LP, S. MP (1 hit) ? LP Rocket Punch
5. S. LP, S. MP (1 hit) ? Plasma Storm
6. S. HK /\ SJ: LP, LK, MP, MK ? Dash super
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Projectile: LP Rocket Punch
This assist sucks because it has short range.
b) Launch: S. HK
c) Ground: LP Sentinel Force
This is Sentinel’s best assist because the Sentinel Force travel the
entire screen and is good for block damage. Sentinel is also relatively
safe during this assist as long as the opponent blocked the Sentinel Force.
One problem with this assist is that it is slow, so it cannot be used
against bum rushes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(9) Cammy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cammy has been improved a lot since XSF. Her S. HP is a new additional
launcher. Her S. HK launcher also comes out all the time as long
as the joystick is neutral or forward. The Killer Bee Assault super
now targets like Maximum Spider and can be comboed off of a SJ. HK Cannon
Drill.
Her disadvantages are that she has to be close range to do any damage
and cannot play keepaway. It is best to have a good projectile assist
for Cammy to attack behind.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
LP: blue HP: dark blue HK: purple
LK: green HK: pink HK: dark skin
My favorite color is dark blue (MP).
-------------------------
Supers:
-------------------------
Super Cannon Drill: QCF + KK
Killer Bee Assault: QCB + PP
Super Cannon Spike: QCB + KK
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. D. C. LK, C. HP /\ SJ. LP, LK, MP, MK, HK Cannon Drill ? Killer Bee
Assault
2. J. HP \/ C. LK, C. HP /\ Air combo
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Anti-air: HK Cannon Spike
This is probably Cammy’s best assist.
b) Dash: HK Cannon Drill
Ryu’s Shinkuu Hadoken and Akuma’s Messatsu Gou Hadou can combo off this if you do it as soon as the assist hits. Captain Sword and Captain Storm are not fast enough to combo off of it.
c) Expansion: HP Backfist
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(10) Guile
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guile is pretty much the same as Charlie except for the supers. Guile is better than Charlie because his Sonic Boom super combos and has a comboable air super. The Sonic Boom super is also very fast and covers has good range.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
LP: green HP: gray Assist 1: tan w/ gray pants
LK: blue HK: brown Assist 2: tan w/ blue pants
-------------------------
Combos:
-------------------------
1. D. C. LK, C. MK ? Sonic Hurricane
2. C. HP ? SJ: LP, LK, MP, MK ? Rush up super (QCF + 2K)
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Projectile Type: Sonic Boom
Team super: Sonic Hurricane
b) Anti-air Type: Somersault Kick
Team super: Flash kick super
c) Balance Type: Sonic Boom only (I think)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(11) Charlie
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, Charlie has been weakened since XSF. His LK Somersault Kick no longer has amazing recovery and he cannot combo Sonic Break anymore. I’m not sure if he can do a throw ? Sonic Break. Charlie is faster than Guile.
-------------------------
Colors:
-------------------------
My favorite is blue and white.
LP: Green (XSF) HP: Blue & white Assist 1: Dark skin
LK: red shirt, brown pants HK: Yellow shirt, gray pants Assist 2: red
-------------------------
Assists Types:
-------------------------
a) Projectile Type: LP Sonic Boom
Team super: Sonic Break
b) Anti-air Type: Somersault Kick
Team super: Somersault Justice
c) Balance Type: Sonic Boom only (I think)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(12) Ryu
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryu is kind of like XSF & MSF Ryu in MVC2 but not as good. He can combo the Shinkuu Hadoken in air combo like the MSF Ryu can, but he can’t combo it off of a sweep anymore. He has the MSF Hadoken back, but his launcher is still the crappy one from MVC. He has an Alpha fast hop kick now. His Shin Shouryuken is now a Level 3 super and does 50% damage.
-------------------------
Colors:

-------------------------
a) Projectile Type: Hadoken
This assist is okay but not the best because it can easily be beat by Iceman’s, Cable’s, and Ironman’s assists (there may be other too).
Team super: Shinkuu Hadoken
b) Anti-air Type: HP Shouryuken
This is probably Ryu’s best assist because it is invulnerable.
Team super: Shinkuu Hadoken
c) Expansion Type: HK Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku
Team super: Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku

(13) Jill
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The thing I like about Jill the most is that she can combo her dash
super in the air as easily as Ryu can combo his Shinkuu Hadoken.
She can also throw out a lot of animals for keepaway and has a mummy that
can grab the opponent. Her life heal assist also makes her
an interesting character to use.
The problems with Jill is that her supers do not do much damage.

Combos:
-------------------------
1. D. C. LK, C. HP /\ SJ: LP, LK ? Dash super
2. Projectile assist, Mummy, Crow, dash and jump over opponent, C.
LK, C. HP /\ air combo
This is more of a strategy than a combo. It is way to throw so
much stuff at the opponent that they mess up their block direction or get
grabbed by the mummy.
