Why this team?

I picked this team for a few reasons:

Strength - all three of these characters are really good, they have plenty of utility and damage output and each character is one of the best in their role.

Honesty - all three characters reward fundamental play and don't rely on gimmicks, for the most part anyway (looking right at you Tien).

They fit the meta - the skill sets of all three characters fit the meta well and reinforce a lot of the fundamental skills of the game, it's hard to get good with this team and not get good at the game.

Fun factor - all three characters get flashy moves and lack too many frustrating weak points, they're also pretty simple to get started with.

Depth - while relatively simple to get started with, all three characters have a lot of potential to explore.

Flexibility - swapping any of these characters out is very possible, so long as you think it through.

On that last point, if you have a character you absolutely can't do without, swapping the most similar character on the team is very possible. If I had to pick, I would say A Gohan is the most expendable member but he should be swapped with a good point character.

How is this team played?

I mentioned above that these three characters reinforce a lot of the fundamental skills of the game, to expand on that a bit more, when playing this team you will always have access to a lot of helpful neutral tools and they can all use traditional block pressure and mixups. The way I recommend you play this team is the same as the way I recommend people approach the game.

Your primary goal in the neutral game is to pin them down with one of your long range assists, rush in while they're blocking and then mix up or start a blockstring (more on that below). It should look like this.
