What kinda team is everyone running? Right now I'm thinking of Dante (Jam Session)/Vergil (Rapid Slash)/Morrigan (Dark Harmonizer). I also have an idea brewing with Felicia (Rolling Buckler) either going second or anchoring. The basic idea of the team is to have everyone work to build meter for Vergil with whatever position their at. Dante does this best on point by forcing ToD threats, mixing up constantly with teleport shenanigans and being the loveable devil hunting swiss army knife he is. In the case of the team with Morrigan, liberal calls of Morrigan's Dark Harmonizer assist with its quick startup and recovery adds a third of a meter fairly frequently while he's in play to keep me playing with his Summoned Sword formations. (Crown of Swords is the sickest [parasitic bomb] ever.)
In the case that Dante & Verg both get KO'd, Morrigan comes in to play with a good stock of unburnt meter from those liberal calls I made and cleans up between playing Gradius with Astral Vision fireballs, X Factor if I didn't blow it already on Vergil's "Nelo Angelo" Lvl. 4 for a one hit KO, and just being that sexy succubus she's so good at being.
With the Felicia variant of this team, she plays either anchor or second in order to build more meter via dispatching a team or her d,d+H Meter Charge. She has good synergy with the rest of the team, creating strong left-right mixups with her Cat Crawl and calling Vergil's Rapid Slash assist and the "hard-to-block"-able with Dante's high attacks and her Rolling Buckler assist sounds too dirty not to try and use well. In the other variant of this team, she goes on as anchor to fully abuse X Factor and cause many rage quits via Dark Felicia Rising.

Anyone else kinda wish Hsien-Ko was Vampire Saviour good? Like seriously, I've been playing a lot of that lately and I hate that MVC3 Hsien isn't anywhere near the same league.

That X alt is way too [tornado fang]ing good. Also I feel like people buy into the "if there's an alt, character isn't happening" train of thought too much with this game. Niitsuma's been rallying behind X hard from way before Vanilla MVC3 and X was with Gene from Godhand as one of the last characters that got dropped in the final pool of characters for Ultimate. The only thing throwing a wrench in the plan is the multiple Classic Mega Man shoutouts in Ultimate between the Days of Future Past poster, Nova's Ending, and Thor's retconned ending.
X alt should become a full character and Zero should get a Megaman Zero alt. Him not getting that is the biggest injustice here.
