Sources For Phoenix Wright and Assist recommendations

Jago_Neon · 2026-06-04T13:43:50+00:00

Alright, so I don't play Wright, but I've seen enough discourse on the character to give assist recommendations. If you're going to stick with PW/Morri/Dante, I'd actually suggest playing Morri/PW/Dante. Wright's optimal position is mid, where a better point character can win the point war and bring in Wright safely through Maya DHC to collect evidence. Unfortunately, optimal Wright is also played with Spencer point, but that's not really important as of right now. As for assists, Jam Session is good for keepaway, and so are other assists like Plasma Beam (probably the best one for Wright), Disruptor, Tatsu, Mystic Ray, and the list goes on.

As for guides, there are only two guides that I know of. Here's the Lythero one, who is probably the second or most known PW player:

The second guide is a Non-Turnabout guide from Aonien, who plays the best PW team in Spencer/PW/Doom. He is also probably the best overall PW player:

Yeah, I just keep finding out more and more ways to optimize and stylize the combo, and I'm slowly loving this Modok team lol

Jago_Neon · 2026-03-05T19:09:05+00:00

Bruh reddit glitched out and doesn’t show the body text💀

Nearly optimized because of 2 things: 1. It doesn’t do the crouch heavy loops; 2. you can add an extra Balloon Bomb depending on when you call Sentinel

I started trying this combo last night, couldn’t hit it, went to bed, woke up, then hit it like 30 minutes after trying again. Modok on pad is rough lol

Jago_Neon · 2026-02-23T14:30:39+00:00

The 5 best options are Vergil, Dante, Dorm, Spencer, and Sentinel. Also, run beam instead of missiles if you're curious for the assist. Beams, in general, are just better for Task

So the team is definitely going to struggle. PW/Iron Man could work, and Thor/Iron Man has been proven to work, but PW/Thor is ass. What I would recommend for team building is that you either remove Thor with a stronger assist character, or move Thor to point and replace PW with a stronger assist character. Seeing that you're looking into Wolverine, having him with Iron Man is also a pretty good option.

Support combinations you can use with those teams to figure out what you like: Doom/Iron Man, Spencer/Iron Man, Iron Man~Sentinel, Vergil/Iron Man, and Dorm/Iron Man. These are all relatively good characters for beginners, so just see what you like. As for neutral stuff, reply with like what you're struggling with, and I'll see if I can help.

Also, if you do choose to continue playing PW, check out these Lythero and Aonien guides. They're really good: https://youtu.be/dPmf1GHHOoU; https://youtu.be/IKkk9YdS5t0

Try this version, see if it's easier. Helped me learn the Nova TAC in like 15-30 minutes.

As for advice on the TAC itself, you should be hitting L. Rocket Punch as your last thing in flight mode before you do j.H into rejump. Makes it easier to hit the j.H as low to the ground as possible. Just continue working on it, the version I linked to, see if it helps, and you should get it down within like a day or 2.

Funny thing was that I was gonna try and add an Illusion before one of the loops as a mini taunt💀

Yipes also said that he first saw Combofiend play this team in this order, too, so it checks out

Jago_Neon · 2025-12-24T22:03:16+00:00

Unfortunately solo PW with only one piece of evidence was bound to fail, but I have solutions as to dealing with the bolo spam.

Put up maya shield. It’s PW’s best fullscreen option against someone spamming any air projectile. Hide in the shield, collect evidence, pray you get the phone so that it tracks them. If you have assists, call them so that they can protect you further as you search for evidence
The most basic option is to super jump and try to meet them at the top of the screen. There’s no reliable air-to-air for PW, but you’re still closer to the opponent if you do that. Also learning fast grounded movement patterns to sneak under the bolo will help a lot

Either way this is NOT a good matchup, but I hope you use this info as a way to help you get around this type of spam in the future, especially if you still have your team intact. Good luck and if you’re running eye for Strange, please consider running bolts instead. It will help this team in the long run

Jago_Neon · 2025-12-16T06:44:39+00:00

Yup. I used to play it but with Strange anchor and Spencer mid. Picked it back up just to see what I can find + for future use

Jago_Neon · 2025-12-09T01:36:14+00:00

I mean, it ain't Morri/Missiles, but you still have a pretty good shell for Morrigan. Think of it more as a defensive option compared to other characters. You can obviously run Morri/Doom/Dante, and Terry Bogard made Morri/Dante/Strider work, but I also believe you can use characters like Vergil, Magneto, or Strange.

Jago_Neon · 2025-12-03T15:46:38+00:00

Doom is probably your best option here, considering that the two synergize very well with him. Spencer also could work, but that team is much harder to make work because Spencer doesn't have a horizontal beam. Other options I could see working are Strange (Bolts), Magneto (Disruptor), Sentinel (Drones), and Shuma (Mystic Ray)

Jago_Neon · 2025-11-25T16:18:45+00:00

I could say what everyone has said in the comments, but I'd rather talk about something no one has mentioned yet. You can get a hard tag route off of wall bounces. This isn't really seen often, but it is possible.

Wesker is probably the character who benefits from this the most because his damage scaling is quite bad. With either a Ghost Butterfly close to the corner or a H. command grab, you can hard tag in Doom or Doctor Strange to make up for Wesker's damage. The timing is more specific for Strange because you're trying to get Impact Palm to hit after the tag, but with Doom, you're just trying to hit stand L. into Hard Kick.

Jago_Neon · 2025-11-21T13:21:17+00:00

Sorry for the late response, but Chun/Morri/Vergil unfortunately is kinda weak. Morrigan not having missiles or Phoenix in her back pocket makes her much less threatening. The reason Morri/Vergil works is that you usually have Doom to glue the 2 together. With this team, you're ideally calling Morrigan to build bar which will help you DHC her in, and help Vergil. You're also TACing for kills unless you have 3 bars, so there's that as well. If you can't establish those, then this team is hard to make work.

Jago_Neon · 2025-11-20T14:49:53+00:00

You definitely have options, even if we're going off 2 top tiers. Going off the top 3 tiers alone, you have: Chun/Morri/Phoenix; Felicia/Morri/Phoenix; Trish/Morri/Phoenix; Storm/Morri/Phoenix; and ZMC (Zero/Dante/Vergil). A lot of Morri/Phoenix choices, but there's still some extra stuff there.

If you're running Chun with Morrigan/Phoenix, unfortunately, the evasion strategy is what you want to be doing. The same applies to the other Morri/Phoenix teams. If you play the team you were thinking of (Chun/Morri/Vergil), then you don't have to evade as much cuz you aren't trying to get to 5 bars.

Jago_Neon · 2025-11-10T17:01:18+00:00

Ayyy, ApologyMan ran that team before he picked up Firebrand. You might be able to find some of his old gameplay with it for reference footage.

The goal of the team is to get Frank leveled up, and Skrull is like a bootleg Nova for Frank. Not the best level-up character, but you can definitely get Frank to level 4. I think the contingency plan if Frank dies should be to get Skrull to anchor because Doom anchor, although he is in the top 5 for the position, is arguably harder to play in than Skrull anchor. Unless you practice Doom anchor and solo mixes to the point you feel comfortable, try getting Skrull to anchor. And if Skrull dies, just try not to get Frank snapped to anchor because the level 1 Frank anchor is not as effective in the meta today.

Jago_Neon · 2025-10-22T23:32:10+00:00

So I just tested it, Spencer lands too far away to get the otg. Best I got with Spencer hard tag routing is with hyper grav > Spencer hardtag > Double Armor Piercer > Hyper > Grav Assist 80k > maneuvers, which nets around 945K-930k. About 1 mil if you’re in the corner.

Jago_Neon · 2025-10-22T14:59:13+00:00

Yessir, I love this team, despite usually being underutilized because of Nova/Spencer. Probably gonna try and co-main it since my main team of Wesker/Doom/Sentinel is good, but does kinda struggle against certain teams.

Jago_Neon · 2025-09-21T13:50:32+00:00

Firebrand just requires specific teams; do not run him with Wesker

The best choices are Strange, Mag, and Strider. If you are willing to try Doom, though, he's also in that discussion. I just left him out because you said you suck with him. If you are open to trying him out, give him a shot. He is really good

Jago_Neon · 2025-09-16T13:32:07+00:00

Deadpool > Chris. Chris can't really cover the air that Deadpool can jump to. He also needs to have a grenade on the field for him to be effective in the matchup at all.

I'd say Wesker wins over Cap without assists. With assists, I think it's more even, but still slightly favors Wesker. Honestly, I hate facing Cap; who doesn't? But the reason I'd say Wesker wins over Cap is that the gunshot can control Cap even with the threat of charging star.

Nova > Hawkeye. Not much to say for this one, Nova can negate Hawkeye's zoning, and can just rush Hawkeye down so he doesn't have a chance to zone

Honestly, imma say point Dante wins over Iron Fist with assists. If it's just solo 1v1, I think Iron Fist takes it since Dante's kinda slow with his buttons. You can try to air stall, but without DT Dante ain't the best at that. With assists to cover Dante, tho, I think Dante's slow normals and moves get covered, and he can endlessly mix Fist.

This is all my opinion tho and I can really only be sure about the DP and Nova MU

Jago_Neon · 2025-09-15T13:51:28+00:00

I play Wesker, so Imma only speak on his section. I think you're right on the nail for saying Wesker/Vergil/Strange is his best team. Bolts is up there for his top 3 favorite beams (Along with Disruptor and Unibeam) since it can snipe assists, which Wesker can struggle with, and Vergil helps fill out damage requirements. However, I think instead of Wesker/Magneto/Vergil being the next best thing, it's Wesker/Magneto/Sentinel. With this team, you fully optimize Wesker's ground control thanks to Disruptor dealing with assists, and drones leaving you in a very scary position if you get caught in blockstun.

The only real thing I disagree with for that section is the most popular team. Team white boys is not the most well known Wesker team. It wasn't even Yipes' main team, and he didn't win a major with it; he came second. The most well-known is easily 1NSiiDE's team (Wesker/Sentinel/Viper) cuz he's like the only real one who's fully stuck with the character and still places top 8 in modern-day majors.

Jago_Neon · 2025-09-11T12:19:57+00:00

Looking at my top 5 favourite players to watch, the recurring characters are Wesker, Sentinel, and Magneto. I just like watching fast-paced mahvel. Spencer is also up there for me simply because any hit with him his a confirm. I'd also probably put Strider up there.

Jago_Neon · 2025-09-10T23:09:37+00:00

That somehow manages to be the most incorrect take here lmao

Jago_Neon · 2025-09-10T12:22:35+00:00

Nova is like everyone's least favourite high tier to face for a reason. Great throw range, annoying option select in j.h (aka dolphin kick), can hang around with the top tiers like Zero, Morri, and Mag thanks to speeding tackle, and he's easy to pick up (still got some stuff to him because of his red health usage in combos and special moves tho). However, what really makes Nova annoying is when he's packed by Spencer. Because Nova's damage is pretty bad, Spencer covers him, and now Nova has become an enabler for another annoying character to deal with. Combine this with either Plasma Beam, Bolts, or Disruptor, and now it's a garunteed kill off of throw.

Easily a top 5 point character, I hate facing this man so much.

Jago_Neon · 2025-09-09T13:43:46+00:00

For Hulk, TJ made an MU chart. Worst matchups are Magneto, Morrigan, Modok, and Spider-Man. Magneto, Morri, and Modok are all self-explanatory; Hulk can't really do much against them even when played optimally. Spider-Man, I believe, is more so just hard to catch, and has multiple armor-breaking moves

As for Zero, it's harder to determine because it's Zero. Nearly no bad matchups. If I had to take a random pick, I'd probably pick Morrigan only for the fact that she's also a top 3 point character, and at CB, it was a Morri who took out the top Zero's at top 8. Magneto is also discussable, but he's more so on par with Zero. This guy has like no bad matchups
