So many posts on this subreddit are people seeking approval before they use certain characters. Just use the characters you enjoy - chances are if you like them you will spend time finding out all sorts of cool stuff for them, and it'll make your team even better.
Every character is viable in this game when they have other members of a team supporting them. Who gives a shit if someone says a character is 'bad'.
One thing about many fighting game characters is that the best ones are really just the most "discovered" ones, especially in a game this new. New tech is still developing in games that are five, even ten years old...
This is so true. Also, its not like anyone reading this forum is gonna place top 8 at Evo, and if you are, you already know who your going to play.
PLAY YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS!
Shehulk used to be popular character before umvc3. Pro players like justin wong used her pretty effectively. She has good priority and as mentioned before one of the best grabs. Her mix ups are generally really good on an average basis. If you want to look shehulk players, you gotta do it before umvc3 was released. Besides, who cares what other people think. If you like a "non conventional" character and play well with it, why stop? As long as theres good chemistry flow between your other two characters and youre having fun.
there really arent. she has high damage output and a lot of health but she used to be a lot more nimble in vanilla than she is. anyone works with assists though
I started messing around with her after I saw those Abegen videos. My current "B" team is Nemesis/She-Hulk/Sentinel. Shulk is a ton of fun to use - her command throw is really fast, it's hilarious to reset a dude on the ground a couple of times in a row.
Other than that, I think that her changes from vanilla were kind of rough. She used to be able to rapid-fire her crouching L, her damage output was higher, and her slide had the range and speed of Hawkeye's. She also has a trick where you can do air magic series into down+H (butt splash), and then whiff exchange close to the ground to land extra fast so you get a relaunch. The timing on that is really tight, but it's definitely still in there from vanilla, and it's the #1 thing that you have to be able to get down to get any sort of useable damage out of her now.
As far as pro dudes using She Hulk, isn't Combofiend messing around with her again?
I think Combo tried to bring her back once. Used something like magneto/shehulk/? Not sure who the last one was.
Yeah! That was it! Magneto/Shehulk/Sentinel
Pssh why bother with actually training and understanding characters, when you can acquire trench coats + do the lowest executable combos + ? = I told you I was the only derpy one.
In all seriousness though practice on getting her in the running stance over and over again. BnB's will come, what you need to do is discover the fundamentals of every character. Allow me to repeat that Fundamentals, you learn footwork before you ever pick up a weapon. Treat this game like learning a new fighting style or weapon, practice practice practice.
Thanks for all the responses. One thing is that everyone keeps telling me that every character works well with good assists but i'm brand new to this game and fighting games in general. What are some good assists for she-hulk? What makes certain assists good with certain characters?
Thanks again.
She hulk needs coverage to get in. I use her with Sentinel drones, they have a very nice arc that allows she hulk to follow behind, and since they are spaced out, it makes her normals a lot safer than they usually are (especially her slide). But, you might have some luck with a beam assist. Magneto, Doom, anyone with a decent priority projectile can help out. Another good assist for her is a "get off me" - she has a very good ground game, but since she's not mobile in the air at all, an assist that can cover vertical space is key. I use Nemesis' Launcher Slam to do this (but I also run Nemesis point so I can do dirty noodles + she hulk assist for the ghetto unblockable), but you can try something like Dante's Jam Session or Haggar's lariat, or Hulk's AA gamma charge.
Ask yourself the important questions, what is She hulk lacking as opposed to the rest of the cast? A long range game, you can wave dash all you want but without some form of projectile it's going to be an uphill battle. Does she do enough damage for your tastes? Can you extend your combo even more? I know everyone wants a video game guru to tell them all the answers, but sometimes you gotta throw yourself into the deep end to learn to swim. Get into training turn the dummy on very hard and practice maneuvering, hitting a moving target, and connecting your combos. This was the easiest way for me to learn new characters, I'm sure it will do you just fine. There is a reason they gave us CPU to begin with.
This isnt the best, but I used to run SheHulk(Clothesline)/X23(Ankle Slice)/Morrigan(Soul Fist).
X23 can OTG for Shehulk and extend the combo. Also Ankle Slice and Jumping S is usually a good unblockable set up. Soul Fist is nice and slow, so if you call it, and then dash in and throw before it hits, thats normally a good mix up. It's hard though because Soul Fist does't really help me from getting pushed out and kept out.
Hope that helps.
The best thing about her is that people usually don't have an idea what you would be doing as she hulk. Her grabs are some of the best in the game with a long range ground one and a decent anti-air one and a great anti air super grab. Check out Abegen he is a japanese tron, thor, she hulk player and there is some pretty crazy she hulk tech in there. Also if you search the subreddit there were some she hulk combo videos as well. I feel like she is still good, especially with a beam assist or any other projectile assist but that is me. In the end she hulk is good because she has a couple of different ways to reset opposing players and since no one plays her you will probably catch them at least once.
Edit: I found the video I was talking about, I am not a she hulk player, but this could help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tk-gVKpDX-I#t=25s
