The best DUO in the game and why.

[The Matrix367]

I am curious to what everyone else thinks about this. As of lately I have been noticing alot more strider doom play. I think this is the best duo in the game. I think the only problem with it is that it gets randomed out. I think this duo beats every thing in the game cause it is not aimed on hitting you so you don't have to open people up. Its great for turtlers and Really good against rush down and can catch runaway.

sup matrix. Good thread. I'd say this is a tossup between sent/commando and strider/doom. Sent/Commando is probably the duo that takes best advantage of marvel randomness(which happens to be the downfall of strider a lot of times) because there are many situations you can power your way through. One of its worst matchup i'd say is Strider/Doom once it gets cornered because that's when Sent/Commando loses its power. By the same token, I'd say Strider/Doom's worst is Sent/Cyke or Sent/Commando when Sent gets strider in the corner. This is why i used to always have cyclops backing my strider up. It would shift the standoff in my favor.

i'd say storm/psy is up there, that combo seems to be able to beat anything when the right person is playing.

[Bowling Pin]

Hisui/Kohaku.

[AkumaTX]

Stryder and Doom because cats and playing with rocks are everyones child hood dream.

[Motoki Imawano]

strider/doom pretty much because of the reasons listed already. =/ plus i've been playing strider since day one so i'm biased.

on the same note, sent/commando is also good as hell. i always have trouble against them.

[ilikebeingalive]

mag/sent-a hurts people really fast and is fun to watch

sent/capcom hurts people really fast but gets lame after a while

no one around here really plays strider/doom, or marvel even besides me :/

[Ouroborus]

either sentinel/commando or mags/psy but i'll say sent/commando.

shits too raw.

[ONE Weapon]

Strider/Doom because if they have momentum the damage is guaranteed.
Orbs=automatic momentum

couldn't have said it better. Mag/Psy is HELLA crazy shit, but Sent/Commando is just too powerful.

[Juicy G]

sent/capcom: best mix of offense and defense in the game

[Starbury]

I dunno...someone that plays msp reallly really well wit crossups, good execution and timing, can own up nicely....ala josh, j-wo, soo, brandon, etc.

[da_dragon]

iono i think mag/psy is hella crazy..i juss freeze up when im fightin an msp..shit is scarier than sent/cap IMO..i havent played against strider/doom in a while so i cant really judge..but yah i think mag/psy is way too good..

[SNAKESHOTPEOPLE]

Strider/Doom

[J.D]

Mag/Psy Gets Boring To Play At Times
Even Is Sent Capcom Too , I Really Prefer That Over Mag Psy

You know you aren't supposed to be jacking other people's avatars. Stealing Japan3gro's avatar and poorly editing it to try and pass it as your own is pretty sad.

Minagi + Michiru = High/Low madness.

As for Marvel, I'd have to go with Sent/Capcom. If you close your eyes and mash on the assist button, all your problems magically fly away (seriously).

[DaWigsta]

I think the best Duo is Mag/Psy EASY. And I know no one will agree with me since damn near everyone is a sent capcom scrub but, I feel MSP is the best team in mvc2 (when played correctly). Cant wait to see everyone bash that statement. Let's go

Nah it's okay, didn't know, the avatars don't mean much, it's just that I don't like people stealing other people's works and IIRC that is PsychoSquall's work and he is a good friend of mine. So yeah, whoops. :p


P.S. Sent/anybody really :D

[Picolo]

it's alright, this av is too sick... aaron is the distributor himself.

i think storm/cyke is best combo if you can block and rush super good.

[white shadow]

Sent/Capcom or Cable/Capcom. It's like you're trying to fight an impenetrable adamantium wall or something.:( /:evil:

[Skyler]

Strider/Doom is the best Duo cause this team seems more fun and exciting to watch than any other teams.:eek:

[FMJaguar]

Strider/Doom/(character that covers the screen) is the best 3 man team, as long as all 3 members are in the game, as soon as one is hurt, you have serious problems (unless your winning). Strider/doom as a duo has a serious problem with air control, almost as much time is spent in the air as on the ground.

Mag psy is the opposite WRT teamplay, it doesn't really matter who the third person is. The drawback is that you end up with a lot of simulated 2 on 3 situations. If you can slow the pace down and play with a char advantage M/P suffers. On the other hand if they can isolate your point character they can demolish an entire team.

storm cyke is the most stable duo, if I have a lead I want these to be the last two. It just falls short in the power dept.

sent/capcom and cable/capcom both have power, sent just has it in close, cable has it by controlling screen space.

So IMO there's no real winner unless you mention a specific sutation, each duo has something the other ones dont, and each one has a weakness... which is why modern mvc2 has more balance and variety than people think.

I think mag psy loses to sent/cap and storm/psy and has alot of problems with strider doom.

[Vidness]

I think the best DUO should be just that: DUO, not 1 main char, 1 assist. The best DUO, IMO is BH/DOOM. If you switch that around, you get DOOM/BH, which might even be meaner.

I cant believe no ones said Cable/Cyke


All you gotta do is jump around build meter call cyke, cyke hits u shoot.

[RunningInThe90s]

Best duo(two people only) is Storm/Cyclops. Free counter to super then dhc back into hail =70%. It takes 3 meters but thats nothing it just means no one can fuck with you or even think of putting you in block stun if you have 2 or 3 meters. Id just wait untill Mag/Psy randomly come in and c.lkx2 psy counter in on psy and go right back into hail fuck her up. Shit is free regardless niggas just gotta learn how to block :(

[Smokeyp91]

dumb poll
not reall many options

Heh you damn right. I think Mag/Psy is good IF it hits, because you have so many options. However, I only see it useful for a few match-ups, mainly against Cable teams and Mag teams without Psylocke. IMO I think Sent/Cap and Storm/Cyke is the best Duos. The reason is that they don't have to land a hit because they both have good zoning. But I think Storm/Cyke has the edge because either character can preform well. Furthermore, besides Cable, Cyke can fight any other match-up Storm can, even better in some cases.

[shockwave15]

Mag/Psy...

[TS]

If we're talking duos Spiral/Sent should be mentioned. I'm also surprised no one said Storm/Sent. Mag/Tron (if you're starting Cable, you plan to kill Tron...how?)? BH/Doom didn't occur to me either, but it sounds good. But will work vs MAYBE Sent/Commando, and MAYBE Mag/Psy.


Hmm...can't think of any IM teams...guess the best would be Storm/IM or Sent? Also random scrub stuff like Sent/Iceman. If it's down to 1 on 1 and you're not Mag, I'm gonna sit and block and hold my lead. GG. Or anyone/Jugernaut is Team Comeback. Omega Red/Sent etc etc...

Mag/Psy is nice, but what about Psy/Mags? Capcom/Storm? Capcom/Sent?

Doom/BH owns your gerbil

[samB]

i think storm/cyke and mag/psy are tied for best duo. strider/doom wtf, why are people talkin bout that team, theres alot of ways gettng around it easily. sent/cap is fukin annoying but if your mag/psy is patient its a easy win, jus wait for sent to call cap *boom* and FREE rushdown for lik 5 secs.

cable/cyke is a fukin good duo id place them at 4th

[HaiDuongRiceMan]

It's that easy to get around Sent/Cap and Strider/Doom huh?

Please, enlighten us.

[Blackheart2097]

mag/psy ur assist gets launched all day;)

I would have to agree with this, except that strider doom is slightly better. but strider doom, you need bar.... mag psy, although ppl think this loses to sent capcom, it's cause of patience. a smart patient mXp, mag psylocke can take on anyone and you always have the snapback assist ability. jus my two cents

[Dasrik]

Mag/Psy because it's a walking randomizer and one hit steamrolls your opponent's team. Sent/Commando and Strider/Doom are technically better but if you get hit at all you lose all the same.
