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).
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.
Cold Star doesn't OTG, or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to say? Though yes, I like the assist a lot with Spencer on point.
Regardless - some of the Spencer teams I've messed around with are: (Doom/Spencer)/(Hawkeye/Magneto/Taskmaster) [started out with Doom/Spencer/Hawkeye, and didn't think it was too difficult to play. First two interchangeable depending on...stuff...though I mainly use Doom/Spencer order if I ever play this team because of corner mixups with Doom+Slant shot assist) Spencer/Vergil/Magneto Spencer/Dante/Ammy [currently using this] Magneto/Spencer/(Doom or Dorm) Zero/Spencer/(Taskmaster/Magneto) Viper/Spencer/(Taskmaster/Magneto)
I would think you could do some stuff with Spencer/Ammy/Strange with the lockdown from Cold Star and Bolts assist, and the benefits of having Ammy's assist [outside of a lockdown setting] also allows you to preserve a wallbounce for an extra vertical grapple. I suppose you could also use Dorm instead of Strange, but it depends on how comfortable you are without a fullscreen assist.
like 20th edit in: also, I think Spencer is not that great an anchor compared to a lot of other characters. Just fyi. The Dorm/Ammy/Spencer team would probably function better as Spencer/(Dorm/Ammy), whichever one you feel more comfortable on anchor. You'll find you can put a lot of pressure on people when Spencer's backed by an assist, especially with one like Cold Star.

Thanks for the input. Yeah when I was listing some of those options I was way less concerned with the order and more concerned with how the characters interact with each other. I'm really unfamiliar with Ammy but I like her as a character and I feel Cold Star would be a really good assist to build into a lot of teams I'd like to play.
If you like the Spencer Ammy duo I would recommend throwing Taskmaster in the middle. I ran sets with a girl who mains this team and I was blown away by its synergy. It has better synergy than Combofiend's vanilla team imo. No matter who you start, you'll always have a neutral game assist and an assist to extend combos. They all DHC into each other from anywhere on the screen and the THC punish is just brutal.
Here is a video showing some things the team is capable of. It's made by the player I mentioned above, dunno her real name but on SRK she's known as Adelheid Stark.
haz.Angelic 3-0'd Chris G in pools or so Yipes said. Fanatiq vs Chris G now in losers top 64.
oh, and apparently Fanatiq pulled some shit in stream yesterday, so now Spooky is not allowing anymore PDP promotions till the company speaks directly to him.
Must be bad since Spooky said in chat that AGE is lucky he's letting fanatiq wears the cap lol.
