That was hype. I can understand why some people see it boring, but the intricacies of Chris' Morrigan, he just doesn't blindly derp illusion soul spam. And those hit confirms, clutch and art.

I'm still mad Justin choked it up though

Firebrand wins a major before Zero, lololololololol. tbh I like seeing chris G. Morrigan is hard to play well consistently in a game where nearly everything can kill you off one touch and kill your doom at the same time.

Has he won a west coast major? Wish there was a fgc LP so I could look it up

Decided to start dicking around in this game again after WB7. Picking up Spencer, never played him much in the past but he's really fun and (most importantly) holding my interest. Need to figure out a team to either put behind him or put him behind. I really like Nova, and Strange... Might just try Team Nemo for fun lol, why not.

That team is def legit but man those strange combos are harder than they look. I've seen some people use it just for the assist anyway though

That's kind of my mentality anyway lol, because I agree. It's a solid assist and the book super is always legit for any situation, so learning the loops would be a bonus. Nova and Spencer already fun enough as is (Nova is a character I've always had the itch to get into in the downtime when I wasn't playing).

Plus I just really want to put a beam assist behind him but I refuse to play Doom lolololol. Used to, got boring, and he's soooooo... Doom.

I honestly don't consider that a major. It was a kinda big tournament I guess, but it didn't have any of the competition you see at bigger events. I think that tournament giving evo seeding was a pretty big mistake and probably was the #1 reason they changed the format of it for this year.

So I'm interested in getting back into Marvel after watching a lot lately (and being bored as fuck) and I'd figure I'd breathe a little life into this thread. I'm interested in coming up with a solid team or two which I think will really help me enjoy it more, rather than picking some uncoordinated stuff and having poor synergy. I'm trying to come up with some team combinations I can make involving at least two of the following chars, which are my favorite / those I am most interested in at the moment (in order of those I have the most experience with):
Hulk
Spencer
Dormammu
Strange
Ammy

I've considered trying out Team Nemo (Nova/Spencer/Strange) because I really like the way it plays, but Nova has always felt a bit awkward in my hands. I love his style and such, but I've never had good luck playing/practicing with him. Might just need to get the hang of it. I've been playing a lot of Spencer lately whenever I decide to dick around for a bit, and I think I want to include him no matter what. Going for fun over pure practicality. Besides that, I've just been trying to think of anything that has some sort of synergy, even if it's not insanely strong or top-tier.

As ideas I've been pushing around:
Hulk/Spencer/Hawkeye (OTG for Hulk, Hulk Spencer for fun/damage, Hawkeye decent anchor? I haven't played much Hawkeye but he's definitely a char I like stylistically, could learn to love him)
Dorm/Ammy/Spencer (Cold Star seems like it would mesh/support Dorm well, but might not have the same strength a beam does since it's shorter range..?)

Idk just provoking discussion. I have a love/hate relationship with this game and I barely play it. For now I just want to pick up something to have fun with while I have time, and maybe see if I can't play with a few of my friends online (had connection issues in past).

Play Team Higher Education:

Dr. Strange Hulk + Either Jenny (she hulk) or Phoenix (wright) Strange hulk work well together though.

Interesting note about Strange+Hulk. Didn't think of that for some reason. Good lockdown beam. Wonder how Hulk/Strange/Spencer would play. Would save me from learning Hawkeye from scratch, but lacks an OTG assist. I like Strange a lot but got discouraged when I struggled with his loops. I could look beyond this, since he's solid anyway even if you don't rely on those. Or could just grind it out...

I should dick around with Phoenix Wright lmao. Because why not.

How to play him in nutshell:

Every knockdown/throw you get 2 chances at evidence
calling out an assist like drones/bolts and putting up the shield is 2 chances at evidence

Get your good evidence, then transform and perform one of the combos with objection in it (pretty much anything into standing heavy-forward heavy).

Becomes stronger than lvl 5 frank for a little bit

Hopefully win before god mode wears off.

I barely play this game, but cold star assist is pretty good at covering Spencer's attack angles and OTGing, so I would probably start with Spencer/Ammy and just add a point monster like Vergil or Wolverine who could benefit from the OTG. Dormammu is pretty solid though, you'd do fine with that.
