I couldn’t tell if it lost to hadou or the active window to be hit and counter ran out (Akuma slow ass fireball startup). I wouldn’t be surprised or alarmed if fireballs beat it though.
I’m not sure how Tasky will play but he definitely piqued my interest so I’m willing to run with him and see what he’s all about.
looks like taskmaster is going to have a hard time against the top tiers
Other characters with counters (wesker, ammy) have versions that work against melee and versions that work against projectiles. There’s a chance he’s the same.
Because there is totally a tier list out a month before the game is released.
Who are the top tiers again? You seem to have a crystal ball with you.
God you guys are easy to troll.
Ignore posts like that, or maybe report them 
I see the same crap on /v/ every day (posted seriously) so I can never be too sure. (omg Storm is op hailstorm is impossible to counter)
Web Swing would be an odd assist, and his counter has cinematic properties, so I’m not sure they’d use that either, it could work though.
I’d guess standing C… which is what I think his charging star is … will be his third assist.
Anyways, I’m sold on this guy if uparrows is an assist. If not I might drop him, since he doesn’t look very mobile.
Why does anyone take /v/ seriously? Unless it’s Monster Hunter general, place is only good for a laugh.
Taskmaster looks too fun, too bad he’s unlockable. I wanted to rock him in a team with Dante and Hulk/Spidey as soon as I went into Versus mode. Oh well, get a few matches in/play arcade, unlock Tasky and hit up training I guess.
Did anyone notice that weird jump he did in the Team Tasky vs Team Hulk vid? He jumped directly into the corner of the screen to shoot his aerial Aim Of Hawkeye. I’ll try to grab a link…
Also guys, remember he has that command normal overhead, which looks to hit from about half screen, plus he can swing in and block string safely, which means he can set up unblockables from half-screen; call your low hitting assist (X-23, Wesker, Felicia, She-Hulk, etc.) and then either swing in, or do his standing overhead, and open 'em up like a freshly popped can of pringles.
A team of Taskmaster-?/X-23-ankle slicer/Wesker-samurai edge is looking really strong, no matter who is on point you can create unblockables-Tasky on point calls assist and goes for swing or standing overhead, X-23 on point calls Wesker and hops and aerials/dive kicks, Wesker on point calls X-23 and teleports behind them then aerials.
Tasky on the team as an assist would be useful, irregardless of what assist he ends up having. Arrows for covering approaches, comboes, and forcing block, Swing for pressure on block and comboes, Counter for reflecting projectiles, covering high-low mixups, stopping attacks for a reset, or on a good read. I’m hoping for a counter assist, think about it- if your opponent is running a low assist, you can already tell they’ll be going for an unblockable or high-low ambiguous crossup. With Taskmaster counter assist, as soon as you see them call their low assist, call out Taskmaster and block low (assuming we get his standing counter.) The low hit gets blocked, and their overhead is countered. Or, say you are doing block string pressure with X-23 or Wesker. You get a lot of hits in, but when you hop or teleport to reset, they aren’t in blockstun and could jab you out of your pressure. Well, what if when you have to go for the reset hop/teleport, you call Taskmaster out with a counter in front of them- he counters high, and if they go for a low hit, it’ll hit Taskmaster but whiff on you because hop/teleport puts you above their low, so you can then get an overhead on them and begin a combo. If they don’t attack when Taskmaster is out and you reset, you get another block string off on them.
Watch hulk, that’s actually a delayed advancing guard sending Task flying back as soon as he jumps. Unfortunate, cuz I was kinda hyper for it too.
I’m hoping for the reflect, the counter would have to be active almost as soon as you call him to be useful.
I’m guessing
Fwd arrow
Diagon arrow
Reflect
Damn, you may be right. Would be cool, though.
Hakuman counters everything, countering projectile spammers was so awesome. Too bad many moves could slip it.
The way Haku’s counters work:
Normal counters (D): j.D = All hits, 6D/5D = High/Mid hits, 2D = Mid/Low hits.
Meter counter (Yukikaze): All hits, projectiles, NOT throws
Astral Finish: All hits, throws, NOT projectiles.
It’s kind of lulzy.
Tasky seems like fun I would love to put him, Deadpool,Dante,Zero in a team for some scary matchups I hope that counter super damage was so small because it was up against Haggar.
For more lulz Tasky/Deadpool/Wesker
Team Mercs
or
Team Counter
I think Taskmaster is going to end up with a good amount of command normals. God, I really want to see more of this guy, maybe a command list.
