Are Rocket Raccoon and Amaterasu UMvC3′s Team Best Friends Forever?

by iantothemax on January 16th, 2012 at 11:32 pm

Are you one of the few people who pair Rocket Raccoon and Amaterasu? Frustrated with their low damage output? Then look no further than Bmeister‘s latest video. This flashy showcase of technical skill and fantastic synergy combines Rocket Raccoon’s boulder loop with the floaty properties of his super and Amaterasu’s slowdown to create a pseudo-DHC glitch. It’s also meter-positive and does around 988,000 damage thanks to the extensive use of normals that ignore hitstun scaling. He hopes that this exhibition will spark a bit more creativity in the ways the two furry fighters can be used in tandem.

i’m confused about how this implies that they are bffs in the same way that was said for akuma and wolverine…

i guess anyone that could dhc glitch was far beyond bff status in vanilla

I feel you. This should be called (Do Rocket Raccoon and Ammy have good Team Synergy?) I mean, I don’t know how well RR works with Cold Star or what not but Im not expecting Wolv/Akuma, or Nova/Frank.

I can only think of cold star assist with RR’s burrow teleports.

I pair Rocky and Ammy, and I feel that they do have a lot of synergy.

Ammy’s Cold Star sets up teleport mixups and Boulder Trap unblockables
for Rocky, and Rocky’s Log Trap and Spitfire assists help Ammy get
around her nerfed airdash.

That being said, Rocky needs to work too hard to win for them to be
considered BFF’s, and Rocky’s Boulder Trap loop is stupidly hard to
execute. They’re still really fun to play though =)

Hogwash, I’m doing the SRK Crossword right now.

…What’s a 4 letter word for “a character or player who is unable to do anything remotely competitive against an opposing character or player; also, t-shirts?”

too bad that rocket loop is super hard to pull off consistently, and spencer can push 1 mil alone quite easily with enough health to survive this.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Joey-Weeks/49710584 Joey Weeks

He has enough meter to use okami shuffle to kill spencer and pretty much anyone with less then 1.1 mil health it just wont be meter positive

Ha! I was just about to mention him. That dude’s crazy effective with the midgets. His RR/VJoe/Frank team isn’t bad, either. Shoutouts to the Peaceful Jay stream.

i think the boulder loop was invented by Marlin, then adopted by Flash Metroid, then just forgotten about because it’s so damn hard. Glad to see someone stepped up again to showcase it
