Only really simple combos so far (and a couple 100% resets on Ghost Rider I guess..). Full-screen punish combo:
Corner or mid-screen

Human Rocket Punch (crumple), ADF x j. H, st. M, st. H, S, j.M, j.H, fly, j.M, j.H, j.S, F+H (OTG), S, j.M, j.H xx Super Nova

699,500 DMG without mashing, 730,500 was highest with mashing I got. For other practical use, without the HRP to start it off, it does 665,200 w/o mashed hyper.

Seemed to be more consistent with the air dash after crumple instead of just a j. H. The extra hits in flight put opponent above j. S range sometimes without it (?) somehow. With air dash, works on everyone, even RR~

CaptainMarvelous

Basic Day -4 flight combo, easy to pull off and I feel like more could be added to it for more damage. Does 625,300 without mashing super. 659,000 was the most I got with mashing.

You can also do this (actually modified a mission combo for this :).

Human Rocket Punch H (crumple), Human Rocket Crunch H again while they're crumpled (this will wall bounce), st. H, S, j.M, j.M, j.H, j.S, F+H (Nova Smash), S, j.M, j.M, j.H xx Super Nova.

With mashing 738,700.

Just playing around with him a bit in training mode and noticed this fly combo...
s.m > s.h > fly > f.h > unfly > j.l > land > s.m > s.h > launch
Silly combo, but it might spur some other ideas.

In XF3, you can combo into a M/H gravametric pulse then combo after it with a LMHS string. So like...
XF3 > s.m > s.h > M grav pulse > s.l > s.l > s.m > s.h > launch

Normally you can't do s.l > s.m > s.h > f+h, but in any XF mode you can

s.m > s.h > s > sj.m > sj.m > sj.h > flight > f.l > f.m > f.h > qcb+m > sj.s > f+h > s > sj.h > dp+aa
I like this one cause the qcb+m sends them across the screen to a wall bounce, then your fall S attack will still get them.

c.m > s.h > s > sj.m > sj.m > sj.h > flight > f.l > f.m > f.h > qcb+l > fall with sj.l > sj.m > s.h > qcb+l > fall with sj.h
Interesting cause you can loop the sj.lmh > qcb+l 2x. It does 466,400 meterless damage.

Not really a combo but more of an unusual setup that can lead to a crazy reset...
do a qcb+h then do a tiger knee air qcb+h when you are cornered. Most times when you do this, your opponent flys to the other end of the screen for a wall bounce and you'll be on the other end. If you time this combo correctly, you'll go with your opponent and they don't do the wall bounce. You can get a crazy crossup reset right here. Some wierd glitchy stuff is going on with this simple 2-hit.

Right now I'm running Nova, Wesker, Ryu. I have a Nova combo that uses both assists. Does about 714k and it's relatively easy to do. I'm sure there are more damaging combos, but maybe it'll spark ideas.

hey guys, i made an account just to post in this thread so im pretty new :D i made a video with nova that i wanted to share, let me know what you guys think!

Okie doke folks. In the lab with Nova, and so far, he's godlike. Still trying out other combo's, and more, but here is a small j.H fly loop(kinda sorta) that nets about 710K-ish(it fluctuates from 710-730K depending on the hits):

st., st., st.,, sj.:h:xxFly, j.:h:xxunfly j.,st., , sj., j., , , sj.:h:xxSuper Nova(mash)

Some notes on this combo:
-Works anywhere on screen
-Can work on the entire cast excluding Rocket Raccoon(I have a variation that works on him as well as everyone else).
-Has two enders after j. : , , sj.:h:xxSuper Nova, or :l:Centurion RushxxSuper Nova. The latter being easier to do for about 10K less damage, and less meter.
-Can be done from a crouching string as well, albeit a tad less damage, but still over 700K.
-Unmashed damage is 680K-690K.
-Builds 1 meter exactly.

Gonna keep working on his combo's some more. Can probably net closer to 800K(maybe not by himself, but it's worth a shot)

Just tried this combo. I like this better than the one I posted even though it's less damage because I get to hear Sadistic YA LIKE THAT over and over. I bet you'll get more damage off this eventually. Looks good

Is there any way to start this off with a HRP without the hit decay messing it up?

Good question actually. I haven't explored HRP too much, but I think both the medium, and heavy version can pull off some more damage(if HSD permits). All I know is that medium HRP might scale combo's a decent bit(either that or I have too many hits prior). I'll try it out now.

Ok, I just tried to extend that one with the many Hs.

On the HRP:

omg such nice combo and nice damage is it hard to do outside of the cornor?? how long did it take for you to get it down?? builds one meter depending on your second char you could probably kill most of the cast with a dhc. Man nova is looking awesome cant wait to pick up my copy today. :):)

zabuzafreak

Not sure if this was posted, just found it and figured I'd give it a shot at throwing it up here. With X-Factor level 3 (might be possible with level 2, my execution isn't that great after all) you can hit with L Centurion Rush, and then follow up with H xx L Centurion Rush. Rinse, repeat. You can also switch between Standing H and Crouching H to keep it going longer (as using just standing H will allow them to tech out eventually.) Seems infinite, though I haven't tried doing more reps once I've killed a character.

If it's already been posted, meh w/e, just found it in training mode. If not, have fun with that! lol

P.S. I know X-Factor level 3 stuff isn't really "Combo material" but it's nice to have when he's your anchor.

Nah it's not hard to do outside the corner once you learn the timing on it. It took me about an hour or so to get the timing down and stuff.. Also, with the right DHC's(like storm) you can kill several characters or setup somekills + a power-up(i.e wesker phantom dance to forcefully lose his glasses for the power-up).

Dodeka

So yea consistent damage off of the easier h loops has me set for now. If HSD wasn't so bad we could pull more damage, but it's rough. Although, it serves the general purpose, and they all seem to get one bar for now.

Novaforce

Non-corner average 680k - 690k (with bad mashing, cause of pad :( ) BnB that can be done anywhere is.

j., ,,,:j.,j.,fly,j.:m,j.,j.,j., ,,j.,j.,j., +.

It works on anyone so far (only haven't tried it on joe yet), is easy to do. Especially since I got mediocre execution at best. Timing the follow up to the first so you can do j., j., fly, etc is offputting at first, but after trying it 2-3 times I am sure anyone here can do it.

EDIT: Also, off any of this throws he can do almost 400k before super. I managed to do it on a friend, trying to replicate it in training mode.

Bizazedo

I know you guys are better than I am at making combos, but figured I'd contribute. Long range combo starter with Nova. Used a tiger knee'd H Human rocket punch.



I added another hit at the jump part to get it to 750k, but it seems....very hard to time.

Novaforce

@Biz

Don't worry about who is better and who isn't. There needs to be combos of all execution levels in this thread! Keep up the good work everyone.

gilley

It's more about just getting ideas out there and experimenting. Here's a crazy idea...

against a jumping opponent you can do j.m > j.m > j.h > land > j.m > j.m > j.h > land > j.m > j.m > j.h > fly > f.m > f.m > f.h > dp+aa

Silly combo does about 610k mashed damage. Shades of the ironman MvC2 infinite.

The Realyst

The only problem with the loop combos are you have to land the cr.m somewhat deep for the loops not to miss in open space.

EDIT : Also, I'm having trouble landing it on a crouching opponent. It only seems to work on a standing opponent.

Dodeka

It works on crouching opponents. The timing for the loop is the same all around except for smaller characters(taller characters are easier). You also don't have to use cr. or cr.. You can use st. instead, and get a more consistent combo.

Been messing around with this some. It seems like to get the most consistent combo, you should do cr., stand . Both moves have forward movements in them which should make the combo pretty consistent hopefully. We shall see. Thanks for the help.

I don't know if anyone has tried a Nova Wesker team before, but a challenge I have come across is trying to use them together without burning Nova's red health while still getting good damage. You can't TCH with Wesker and Nova cause it will burn his red life as well. I think I have a good combo with Wesker on point, DHCing to Nova and now I think I have a good corner combo from Nova to Wesker using part of the Desk loop. It gets the opponent out of the corner so that you can get as many hits as possible with Wesker's Phantom Dance. Right now I'm doing this with the team of Nova, Wesker, Doom. Again, this is probably not the most damage, but if it sparks some ideas, that's whats most important.

-Loop combo sucks to do online. :|

Even with really good connections.

Scykoh

Not sure if this new, but anyways. If you do an Energy Javelin, and just after it comes out do the rush Super, and do the down (or up -> down, maybe other combinations are possible) follow up twice, for some reason it will allow you to combo and relaunch and all that goodness afterwards. Rather than an Energy Javelin, it also works off certain assists, X-23's ankle slice from my team for example.

It does allow you to get 2 supers, and who knows, maybe 3 with certain teams. I haven't spent the time to optimize this yet to see the damage potential, but I'd love if you guys could help out with that. :D

lifefire940

something that I just did and it can work from mid to corner range

j. H, c.H, S, j.M j.H xx fly, j. M, j. H, Nova Strike L (or M if you think they are going to fall out of it), j.M, j.H, S. Centurion Rush L xx (Any particular Hyper depending on Damage)

Easy and does around 6k builds, approximately 0.8 to 0.9 meter and best of all it almost pays for itself
