I. My Best teams
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
----------------------------------------
(1) Akuma, Commando, Iceman
----------------------------------------
Assists: Expansion (Spinkick), Anti-air (Corridor), Projectile (Icebeam)
This was my first best team. This
team has the best projectile assist (Iceman)
, anti-air assist (Commando), and hella
good expansion assist (Akuma).
The one disadvantage to this team is that
when Commando is the second one
doing his super, he is vulnerable to Hyper
Viper Beam and Magneto's dash.
Akuma:
1. When opponent is far away:
Iceman's assist, dash, combo 天魔豪斬空
combo after spinkick 、 Captain
Sword or Arctic Attack
2. Opponent jumps in with high priority
attack:
Commando's assist
Commando:
1. When opponent far away:
Do Iceman's assist and wait to see what
opponent does. If s/he jumps over,
then do Captain Corridor、Captain Sword.
If they do nothing, do Captain
Fire or dash and do a C. LK, C. HP、Ninja
assist for chip damage.
2. Cancel Captain Sword with a super.
with Arctic Attack or 滅殺豪波動
or OTG afterwards.
3. Opponent blocks C. HP、Akuma's assist、Captain
Sword
4. Need to switch out:
Captain Sword、滅殺豪波動 or Arctic Attack
Iceman:
1. Opponent jumps in:
C. HK /\ Air combo、Arctic Attack、Captain
Sword or 滅殺豪波動 (this won't
do much damage、 just for switching out).
2. Opponent blocks C. HK、Akuma's assist、Arctic
Attack
3. Need to switch out:
Arctic Attack、滅殺豪波動
Cable's Super Viper Beam can nail Commando
after blocking his Captain Sword.
One problem is that Iceman can't dash behind
anything. That is a problem
because he does not have a good jump-in
attack, which means he can only
launch an opponent by dashing. I
am considering changing Akuma's assist
to projectile, since I rarely use his
expansion anyway.
----------------------------------------
(2) Blackheart, Iceman, Commando
----------------------------------------
Assists: Anti-air (Portal), Projectile (Icebeam), Anti-air (Corridor)
This is my new best team (as of 00.8.11)
because of Blackheart's ability
to fight against Magneto and a lot of
other characters pretty well. Iceman
and Commando back up Blackheart perfectly
with the best projectile assist
and anti-air assist respectively.
Blackheart is also good for switching
in and linking after an air super,
like Iceman's Arctic Attack, Ryu's 真空波動拳、Psylocke's
Kochou Gakure,
Jill's Dash super, etc. This team
can also do good consecutive supers except
when Commando starts it.
Combos:
Iceman: Air combo、Arctic Attack、Judgment
Day、Captain Sword
Iceman: Air combo、Arctic Attack、Captain Sword
----------------------------------------
(3) Iceman, Blackheart, Psylocke
----------------------------------------
Assists: Projectile (Icebeam), Anti-air (Portal), Anti-air (Psyspin)
I am considering replacing Commando
with Psylocke because I have a difficult
time linking Commando's supers reliably.
Blackheart's anti-air assist can handle
super jumpers easily, and Psylocke's
anti-air does nicely against normal jump-ins
or offensive pressure after
blocked combos.
The problem is that the consecutive
super links aren't as good as my original
Blackheart team.
Combos:
Iceman:
1. Air combo、Arctic Attack、Heart of
Darkness or Armageddon in the corner
2. Psylocke's Anti-air assist, (OTG) C.
LK, C. HK、Air combo
Psylocke:
1. air combo、Kochou Gakure、Arctic Attack、Heart
of Darkness
2. air combo、Kochou Gakure、Heart of
Darkness
----------------------------------------
(4) Psylocke, Iceman, Samurai
----------------------------------------
Added 00.8.27.
Assists: Anti-air (Psyspin), Projectile (Icebeam), Ground (Slashes)
This is an excellent combo team.
Every character can combo a super using
either Psylocke's Anti-air assist or Silver's
Ground assist. Supers can
also be linked pretty well with this team.
There is an excellent assist
balance of an excellent projectile (Iceman),
anti-air (Psylocke), and ground
(Silver). All characters can combo
a super on their own too.
Psylocke:
1. F. NJ. + Silver's Ground Assist、 F.
NJ (double jump) \/ D. C. LK, C.
HP /\ air combo、Kochou Gakure、Arctic
Attack
2. Iceman's Projectile assist, B. NJ. LP
Psi Blast
This is just standard keepaway.
My main strategy is to normal jump
towards the opponent and then call Silver'
s assist, then double jump over the opponent,
dash towards him/her, and
combo them.
3. air combo、Kochou Gakure、Kakumei-sen
4. air combo、Kochou Gakure、Arctic Attack、Kakumei-sen
Iceman:
1. Air combo、Arctic Attack、Kakumei-sen
2. F. NJ. (over opponent head) + Silver's
Assist, D. C. LK, C. HK /\ air
combo
3. Psylocke's Assist, C. LK, C. HK /\
air combo
Samurai:
1. C. LP, C. HP、Kakumei-sen、Arctic Attack
2. Psylocke's Anti-air assist, C. LP,
C. HP、Kaumei-sen
----------------------------------------
(5) Sakura, Blackheart, Akuma
----------------------------------------
Assists: Dash (咲桜拳), Projectile (Ground
Lightning), Anti-air (HP 昇龍
拳)
Sakura:
1. C. LK, C. MK, LP 咲桜拳、真空波動拳、Judgement
Day (Blackheart)、滅殺
豪波動 (Akuma)
2. C. LK, C. MK, LP 咲桜拳、春一番、Armageddon
(Blackheart)
3. 乱れ桜、滅殺豪波動 or Heart of Darkness
4. C. LK, C. MK, LP 咲桜拳、真空波動拳、滅殺豪波動
(Akuma)
You have to do 滅殺豪波動 early or the
opponent will too high in the sky.
Blackheart:
1. BJ. Red demons, Sakura's Dash assist
\/ /\ SJ. Green demons \/ C. LK,
C. MK 、 Sakura's Dash assist
2. S. Judgment Day、滅殺豪波動 or 真空波動拳
(in the corner)
Akuma:
1. C. LK, C. MK、天魔豪斬空、乱れ桜 (Sakura)、Heart
of Darkness (Blackheart)
2. C. HP /\ SJ. LP, LK, MP, MK、HK Spinkick、天魔豪斬空、真空波動拳
(Sakura)
3. 滅殺豪昇龍、春一番、Armageddon
4. 滅殺豪昇龍、Judgment Day、真空波動拳
Sakura will work nicely with anyone that
can link his or her super after
真空波動拳 or 春一番. Here are some
other good team ups:
Guile: Sonic Hurricane、乱れ桜
Charlie: Somersault Justice、真空波動拳
Iceman: Air combo、Arctic Attack、真空波動拳
Akuma/Ken: 昇龍裂破、真空波動拳 or 春一番
(in the corner)
Chun's anti-air, Cyclop's anti-air、真空波動拳
----------------------------------------
(6) Sakura, Sentinel, Akuma
----------------------------------------
Assists: Dash (Shouken), Ground (Sentinel Force), Anti-air (HP Shouryuken)
Sakura: C. LK, C. MK、LP 咲桜拳、真空波動拳、Plasma Storm (Sentinel)
Be aware that Plasma Storm - any
of Sakura's supers combo will not work
unless Sakura is in Dark form, which allows
her to do the horizontal 真空
波動拳.
Akuma does not have to be the third
character - any character with a decent
anti-air will suffice.
