Team Building
The number one mistake new players make when getting into UMVC3 is trying to coonstruct a team with 2 or 3 characters they like without considering how well they work together as a team. Players that are new to team games may feel like this would limit the fun of a team, but on the contrary, constructing a fun and synergystic team is it's own reward.
There are two primary elements to consider when building a team: Character position and synergy.
Position
There are traditionally three roles in a team:
- Point
- The first character on your team. This role is generally filled by characters that are at their strongest backed by two others and often these characters don't provide a lot to the team in terms of support outside their value as a point. Often they have mediocre assists, lackluster DHCs, or don't function well without other characters to cover the holes in their gameplan. Once these issues are addressed by constructing a good team they shine and often form the primary gameplan of your team.
- Mid
- The second character on your team. This role is filled by a character that provides strong support to your point character, including a useful assist as well as a good DHC for combos and safety. Many point characters will struggle to kill off of scaled hits or on high health characters without a Damage Engine, this is another role the mid can fill by having some way to extend a combo after the point has done all they can. This can be via a DHC into a combo that works in high hitstun decay, a TAC combo / infinite, or by setting up a hard tag into your anchor. Additionally, a mid should be able to function well with just the anchor as support if your point character dies, forming a secondary gameplan.
- Anchor
- The final character on your team. This role is covered by characters of a few types. Generally they will have good support value, offering a strong assist. Anchors also serve as a means to mount a comeback. Most good anchors are threatening all on their own, not needing any support outside of Meter and/or X-Factor to kill off an entire team. Sometimes you may see anchors that are not meant to be played, these characters often provide a lot of value to the point and mid but are weak when actually played. Iron Fist and Haggar are the most common examples of this archetype.
