Team Setups

Striderine

Pros	Cons
Double the rushdown Consistent, high damage Constant blockstring pressure	Almost no long ranged zoning Meter hungry team

Probably the single most popular team in the competitive sphere, even more popular than Double War Machine. Both characters are strong at constant pressure, and one hit can lead to huge chunks of health gone. It's the combination of the two best rushdown characters in the game (other than Carnage), so while the zoning game will be weak outside of Ouroboros, you'll pretty much always get to do something. Your opponent will have to eat this team's pressure at all times, although it's also just as easy for the team to lose all the meter they build.

Unconventional Team: Strider Morrigan

Pros	Cons
Capable of both rushdown and zoning Great mobility at all times Solid pokes Good Duo Team setups	Damage is often low Meter hungry team Steeper learning curve You'll probably use Strider more, anyways

This is an uncommon team, but a team that I (Lichmassacre) like to use when I play this game, however terrible an idea it might be. Morrigan allows for zoning with Soul Fist while Strider lays on rushdown pressure. Both characters can pretty much move wherever they want, as well. Strider is a very mobile character naturally whereas Morrigan can play the air game with Soul Fist and fish for damage. The team's idea is for a hit-and-run playstyle, as a result. Duo Team setups are also pretty decent when done well as both characters can litter the screen with super attacks, where Strider can blockstring the opponent to oblivion and Morrigan sits comfortably at a distance zoning. The team can be hard to learn in general, though. Even then, Strider is so much better that you'll likely prioritize him anyways.
