The Strider-Doom Trap was a tactic used in MvC2 (made famous by Clockw0rk). Basically you lock your enemy down with constant attacks, forcing them to always block, and chipping down their health until you win. It's also why you hear "Chips Ahoy" sometimes associated with those two.
Awesome first video, Max. Very informative about the basics of Strider & Hawkeye...and the reunion brought a tear to my eye. Guess Chips Ahoy will be back on Nov. 15th.
I speak for this series in general when I say this. While I abhor the skit portions of these videos, I love the character analyses. Thanks for making these.
Max your series keeps getting better and better! I hope you get your own TV show cause this is much much better then stuff on TV, Every one subscribe and like his videos
Way cool, as always. I'm actually really impressed by the costumes you guys have been putting together for this show. Strider was one of your best yet. It must be tricky deciding who to feature as a character in an episode because a lot of these (hello MODOK) would just be impossible to put on camera. On the other hand, Phoenix Wright must seem like a gift to you guys. A guy with black hair in a suit? Who talks like a normal human being? Much more feasible than other options.
@TactileFilms Cool thanks for the answer man. Also just want to say I appreciate all the work you put into these productions their always so well done, The camera work is phenomenal, The quality is amazing, the costumes are extremely well done, and the editing is done perfectly, it makes it look like a movie mixed with a live action comedy show!
Another great video Max!! The more you make, the better they get! Lighting was spot-on for this too, and I only have one complaint - it needs to be longer! :D
My Team in MvC2 is Strider Hiryu, Doctor Doom, and War Machine. I brought my team of Strider and Doom back, but I switched War Machine with not iron man, but Akuma. This Video help me get back in the swing of playing Strider and taught me some new stuff.
Wow, really?? It isn't 15th November yet, but here we are getting a lot of awesome tips and trick!! You rock, Max!! Now I just can't wait for Vergil.....
really awesome episodes max!, been watching from the start and still enjoying the entertaining yet knowledgeable episodes. :) You influence me to play marvel, even if it is marvel 2. keep up the awesome work.
@Androu1 if I recall correctly, Hiryu is not his name either, that's a title given to him for being the highest ranked among the Striders and a symbol that he is a sort of "chosen one" to defeat a mayor threat against the world.
a show next week too. it is almost as if the whole 6 episodes will come out before the actually game arrives. i for one feel very lucky. bison dollar jokes and a tutorials...so good
@TactileFilms Thank you for the reply! It's a shame that the episodes must be shorter - although the reason totally makes sense. Great to get an official response, thank you to yourself and the rest of the team for doing so much for the community.
Awesome start to Season 2, great work as always, Max. Side note... the new "Assist Me" logo is awesome... I'd rock that on, a T-Shirt for example? Just saying. :-)
@Androu1 That's the thing though, he said a new episode each week and there are 5 more episodes, this leads up to the week before the week where UMvC3 is released, meaning that the trailers should come during that time.
The show's getting funnier every episode :D Keep it up and PLEASE, come up with something special for the ghost rider tutorial, if you know what i mean ^_^
The guy doing strider wwas very cool :3 So perfect the cosplaying and his ninja poses were epretty spot on of strider's style xD Great break down on the character's skills and fighting style, i can see meelee/rush down users such as Wolverine and X-23 raging badly against Hawkeye! XD i hope to see more soon :3
GREAT EPISODE When I heard Doom made a deal with Dormammu I though that was setting up Max turning into Ghost Rider lol Also nice Hawkeye technology I'm going to add him to my team :) Keep it up
@TactileFilms His design is from Strider 2. The thing is, I'm not sure how many people played it, and Genesis Strider looks real different to Strider2 Strider, so it's not surprising he seems 'original'.
Really loving the new stuff! Although things much quicker and less in depth, if they are the full 'assist me' for both Strider and Hawkeye? Hopefully I just misunderstood, and full length Assist Me episodes will be done for both of these characters? Also, I agree with the people saying the new logo needs to be for sale on t-shirts!
Awesome great vid Max! Btw do you really have a game-copy? If so, that's crazy. Since you know all the exact damages etc. Which means the game is done already?
"Don't worry Victor, we will be reunited on November 15, 2011." About a month and five days left. Can't wait for the other Assist Me episodes though...
@gumgumningen There's no intentional Sparta kick. No intentional pentagram or pitchfork either. In general, the text IS based off of Yautja writing though. Max specifically asked for "Predator glyphs". The one that is repeated three times is the Predator shoulder-cannon targeting laser.
I can't wait till November 15th. I can just see a special video where everyone who cosplayed the characters come back for a party. Then Doom starts getting on some peoples nerves and fights break out between them. Most fun: Phoenix Wright objecting him and Doom saying: "You dare object Doom? I have diplomatic immunity you stupid lawyer! FEEL MY FINGER LASERS!"
That's not a half-bad Hiryu costume. The guy isn't as wiry as the character is, but facially and hair-wise, he's pretty spot-on.
"By Odin's beard, where the hell did you get that?"
"Funny you should mention hell."
"You went to hell?"
"Close. Los Angeles."
Just wanna let you know you are doin a great job, Max. Keep it up.
New team: Strider, Vergil, and Hawkeye
01:27 heh. Awesome face
Lythero Sighting
Wish more people knew that Strider Hiryu was actually one of many Striders.
he is the best though since he got the highest rank at the youngest age
The characters in game refer to him as Hiryu and not Strider
Doom: We can build him better, faster, stronger. Just like Marvel 2!...I dont want to spent any money
Max: -.-
"The original fighting game Ninja"
Kage-Maru and Hayabusa are crying in a corner right now
You're right, Hiryu isn't a ninja, he's a Strider.
"The original FIGHTING GAME ninja".
hermesleao
Pretty sure there were ninjas in fighting games before Marvel vs Capcom, since Strider wasn't a fighting game to begin with.
BattleJesus dont forget Hanzo, Galford and Mai Shiranui

"Max! Strider's broken!"
Thank you for revealing the truth! ♥
This has to be my favorite web series on a video game. Nerdy, entertaining, and informative. Well done, Max! Looking forward to more Assist Me!

14:44 It's Official. Ammy is one of the greatest dogs EVER!
(Fantastic as always guys! Great to see Strider!)
Ah Memories. This is the video that got me into fighting games.
Benny is the mvp is this entire series
Thank you Max for this episode, Strider is now my best character will definitely watch more.
Who else watched this because UMVC3 is on PlayStation 4 right now?
Kevin Travers thought I was the only one
was always interested with UMVC3, but now since it gets the PC port later i too decide to learn
I just got it a week ago! :)
Kevin Travers it is!?
Awesome first video, Max. Very informative about the basics of Strider & Hawkeye...and the reunion brought a tear to my eye. Guess Chips Ahoy will be back on Nov. 15th.
You missed an opportunity by not calling em Bison Bucks.
I like how music was added and when doom pulls out umvc3 the music fits perfectly
Strider Hiryu's costume looks awesome! These videos are hilarious and I'm REALLY loving this epic crossover for Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3! XD
I speak for this series in general when I say this. While I abhor the skit portions of these videos, I love the character analyses. Thanks for making these.
I love how everyone calls him Strider, when that's just his title.
Man, you guys are getting REALLY good at this. Every episode gets better! Great job and thanks.
I love Strider.
OMG that was awesome, I thought we would need to wait until UMvC3 came out for more Assist Me goodness, so cool to have Max and Doom back, you go man!
And people keep Calling Him Strider, His Name Is HIRYU
Max your series keeps getting better and better!
I hope you get your own TV show cause this is much much better then stuff on TV,
Every one subscribe and like his videos
"Doom doesn't pay bills!" That line always brightens my day.
this kind of series was exactly what i was looking for. something to help introduce me to character mechanics
"strider is broken"
zero is broken too...
Way cool, as always. I'm actually really impressed by the costumes you guys have been putting together for this show. Strider was one of your best yet. It must be tricky deciding who to feature as a character in an episode because a lot of these (hello MODOK) would just be impossible to put on camera.

"Funny you should mention Hell"
"You went to hell?"
"CLOSE! Los angeles!"
XD

Anyone still watching this in 2022 here? 😁
Hawkeyes theme is the only thing that lets me stand playing against someone who just spams the arrows.
Max when are you gonna do an Amaterasu assist me? XD
i want Joe and Arthur maybe
Christopher Ho me 2
Another great video Max!!
The more you make, the better they get! Lighting was spot-on for this too, and I only have one complaint - it needs to be longer! :D
"STRIIIIIIIIIIIIDERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!"
I'll admit that was a pretty good strider Max! "Doom doesn't pay bills!" I lost it there lol. Keep 'em coming!
is it wrong for me to want a Super smash bros 4 assist me?
You're getting one. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
straight outta the mkx stream watching max's old videos
So excited to watch next episode. This one was so great!
more DRAMATIC ASSIST ME please! the history in the first tutorials is AMAZING!
I watched a lot of Hawkeye during the Norcal vs. Capcom stream and holy christ he is going to be a monster, easily one of the best
"i think strider is broken"
That quote blew my mind
I never got the Strider-Doom thing... Then i did Marvel 2 research.
My Team in MvC2 is Strider Hiryu, Doctor Doom, and War Machine. I brought my team of Strider and Doom back, but I switched War Machine with not iron man, but Akuma. This Video help me get back in the swing of playing Strider and taught me some new stuff.
Wow, really?? It isn't 15th November yet, but here we are getting a lot of awesome tips and trick!! You rock, Max!!
Now I just can't wait for Vergil.....
definitely putting Hawkeye in my Avengers team with Cap and Iron Man :)
Love the 4chan smiley hidden in Dormammu's note.
damn wish these were longer, but with one coming out every week till the launch of the game i cant complain. good shit max
I watched this once on the mvc Channel and again on here, you're doing great max!!!
WOOT! loving this series
very insightful and very entertaining
really awesome episodes max!, been watching from the start and still enjoying the entertaining yet knowledgeable episodes. :)
You influence me to play marvel, even if it is marvel 2.
keep up the awesome work.
@Androu1 if I recall correctly, Hiryu is not his name either, that's a title given to him for being the highest ranked among the Striders and a symbol that he is a sort of "chosen one" to defeat a mayor threat against the world.
There's so much good comedy in this, great job and good tutorial.
I like how music plays when Benny runs
Woooo! I cant wait to see the next episode!! Awesome show MAX!
the more and more we see of hawkeye the more I think he's gonna be top tier
"You remind me of my circus days, clown."
It's official. That taunt alone makes me want to consider maining Hawkeye now.
a show next week too. it is almost as if the whole 6 episodes will come out before the actually game arrives. i for one feel very lucky. bison dollar jokes and a tutorials...so good
So amazing Max, another out out the park. Great job!
Doom- "A for effort thats my Strider"
OMG that was awesome!!!!!
Oh, that is AWESOME! :D
Here's looking forward to the return of DJS! Doom, Jill and Strider!
Loved the end. Can't wait to see more.
@TactileFilms Thank you for the reply! It's a shame that the episodes must be shorter - although the reason totally makes sense.
Great to get an official response, thank you to yourself and the rest of the team for doing so much for the community.
Striders awesomeness returns!
Awesome start to Season 2, great work as always, Max.
Side note... the new "Assist Me" logo is awesome... I'd rock that on, a T-Shirt for example? Just saying. :-)
Can't wait for Frank.
Holy shiit...i used to watch these in middle and highschool..omg...8th grade and 9th..sweet jesus.
@Androu1 That's the thing though, he said a new episode each week and there are 5 more episodes, this leads up to the week before the week where UMvC3 is released, meaning that the trailers should come during that time.
I love how the back of the box has CVS2
Close, Los Angeles! Priceless.
The show's getting funnier every episode :D Keep it up and PLEASE, come up with something special for the ghost rider tutorial, if you know what i mean ^_^
That’s the friendliest Doctor Doom I’ve ever seen lol
Awesome videos Max keep them comin can't wait for Virgil and ghost rider
Am I the only one watching this in 2017???
Plus is it me or does strider sound adorable when he says Hawkeye
I know right sorry I just watched this 2019???😋😊
THE AWESOME FACE ON THE SECOND ROW IS AMAZA!
even after all this time, this is a great ass video
Better yet, have him in there with an important role!
The guy doing strider wwas very cool :3 So perfect the cosplaying and his ninja poses were epretty spot on of strider's style xD
Great break down on the character's skills and fighting style, i can see meelee/rush down users such as Wolverine and X-23 raging badly against Hawkeye! XD
i hope to see more soon :3
Legion Part was AWESOME!!
Seeing as a birthday is coming up in a couple days, I can say that I was pleased here. =D
Another, great episode. I will definitely pick up Hawkeye if I havethe money for this game.
GREAT EPISODE
When I heard Doom made a deal with Dormammu I though that was setting up Max turning into Ghost Rider lol
Also nice Hawkeye technology I'm going to add him to my team :) Keep it up
@TactileFilms His design is from Strider 2. The thing is, I'm not sure how many people played it, and Genesis Strider looks real different to Strider2 Strider, so it's not surprising he seems 'original'.
@CaptainRegular I think you're the first person to point out the taco. Nice catch. I think that leaves only one symbol to be spotted...
MY MAN MILES, FUCKING PROUD OF YOU MAN
@TactileFilms Gotta love your Wesker acting skills.
Strider's uroboros and Dr. Doom's molecular shield(the rock) assists, yeah i remember those on MVC2.
Really loving the new stuff! Although things much quicker and less in depth, if they are the full 'assist me' for both Strider and Hawkeye?
Hopefully I just misunderstood, and full length Assist Me episodes will be done for both of these characters?
Also, I agree with the people saying the new logo needs to be for sale on t-shirts!
Awesome great vid Max! Btw do you really have a game-copy? If so, that's crazy. Since you know all the exact damages etc.
Which means the game is done already?
Haaaaa, "Strider's Broken!" I see what u did thurr Max.
"Don't worry Victor, we will be reunited on November 15, 2011." About a month and five days left. Can't wait for the other Assist Me episodes though...
@gumgumningen There's no intentional Sparta kick. No intentional pentagram or pitchfork either. In general, the text IS based off of Yautja writing though. Max specifically asked for "Predator glyphs". The one that is repeated three times is the Predator shoulder-cannon targeting laser.
my team was both hawkeye and Strider on it... best episode!
"By Odin's beard where did you get that?!" love it!
Wow Max. You just got featured on Gametrailers! :D Congratulations.
Awesome as always, Hope the nemesis will be in the Ghost rider assist me.
I can't wait till November 15th. I can just see a special video where everyone who cosplayed the characters come back for a party. Then Doom starts getting on some peoples nerves and fights break out between them. Most fun: Phoenix Wright objecting him and Doom saying: "You dare object Doom? I have diplomatic immunity you stupid lawyer! FEEL MY FINGER LASERS!"
Amazing as always, love your work
