Marvel vs Capcom 3

[Thespis721]

I was going to do Cap, Iron Man, Phoenix but I felt that having an all Marvel team is too biased so I threw Haggar in there replacing Iron Man.

Basic strategy? Cap and Haggar do some damage, get combos (especially those crazy air team combos) to build my meter up to 5. Then I bring in Phoenix and fight with her until she dies and goes Dark Phoenix. Then I take her out and fight with Cap and Haggar to build meter and use Phoenix as an assist. If they eventually both go down, I bring in the Dark, I X-Factor, and then destroy what's left of the other team. I have taken down all three guys with a Level 3 X-Factored Dark Phoenix.

Though if I get all three characters into a combo, I usually throw in the Phoenix Rage.

Currently using my stupid PS3 controller because I had an 360 Fightpad and am still waiting for the converter to come in the mail. It's so hard to get off the Phoenix Teleport and Stars and Stripes and finishing Haggar's combo with the D-Pad/Analog Stick.

Biggest mistake I see people make online? They start their matches off with X-Factor. It's the weakest at that point, it lasts the shortest, and it gives you very little benefit. I just wait out the 10 seconds of X-Factor and then move forward as planned.
