Only correction, Dormammu’s Dark Dimension is blockable. He should only be using it as a reversal or a brilliant poke, if he throws it and you aren’t doing anything just block.
Great stuff man, thanks a lot.
Seriously Taskmaster is the best char on MvC3 what tier U guys think he is?..
It seems like any range you can block the Dark Dimension, you can just jump out of it, so unless you want to be on the ground for a particular reason, you can avoid the (admittedly almost non-existent) 12,000 chip damage by jumping.

Million Dollar: Legion Arrow beats it full screen during the cinematic or during the jackpot gap, but you won’t get most of the hits because it will knock him down; if you are not full screen you will get hit before Legion Arrow starts, so hold up-back when he starts it and use diagonal Legion Arrow (perhaps after a swing into position) if you get out; if you don’t, hold up-towards and use the diagonal Legion Arrow during the gap
Devil Must Die: counterable during the cinematic[/details]
So I’m new to task and I don’t have the frame data/hitboxes available to me. What do you do for tasks anti air, and what do you use for anti-air if your opponent is crossing you up? I’m trying to find char specific answer before I capitulate and just grab hagger for his lariet or something, so please don’t say assist 
Also, if you are getting pushed back by a keepaway char, I think earlier in this thread someone said MODOK was a hard matchup for taskie, any options? I realize his options are limited, with no tele etc., so I am just trying to compare jumping in/swinging in/countering. I suppose it is char specific but I have been very frustrated by people online who just spam deadpools “pineapple express” into gun and go for chip, I try to swing in high but then they just dash under me and launch or rinse and repeat from the other side… Similar issues with MODOK and sentinal to a degree.
Also, any good moves to throw out for frame advantage for set-ups?

Lightning Storm: slightly slower than Legion Arrow, but fast enough that Legion Arrow doesn’t counter it; destroys arrows as long as it lasts, which isn’t as long as Legion Arrow
Hail Storm: slightly slower than Legion Arrow, but eats all the arrows like they’re nothing, so if the cinematic happens it’s too late; even if you super jump over the storm, it will protect her from your arrows

Okami Shuffle: Legion Arrows starts slightly faster and you can start shooting during the cinematic because of the safe gap at full screen, but your shots will be stopped by the fire element before you get frozen by the ice, so unless you can DHC into something that will hit from there, like Genmu Zero, you should just block

Ninja Gift :h:: reflect is neutral, destroyed by shield skills, negates 1 arrow (a little iffy on the arrows)
Happy-Happy Trigger: starts up roughly the same speed as Legion Arrow and the bullets will eventually win if they start even, so it’s best to try to jump out and use a diagonal air Legion Arrow to counter
Cuttin’ Time: counterable during cutscene if you are roughly just outside your cr. :h: range, otherwise it comes out too fast; on block it’s unsafe enough that you can land a Legion Arrow if you don’t want to just combo him

Chireitou: not counterable; Legion Arrow doesn’t hit fast enough to use during the cinematic from close, but you can throw her out of it; if you use it from further away, the blades and arrows ignore each other, so you’ll get a bunch of hits before getting hit yourself
Tenrai Ha: counterable during the cinematic; the weight is what you are countering, the spiked balls can not be countered[/details]
Morrigan
[details=Spoiler]Soul Fist: reflectable, destroyed by shield skills, 2 arrows negate it
Finishing Shower: Legion Arrows has much faster start up and blows right through the missiles unless you’re point blank, where you can throw her out of the start up
Shadow Servent: this, on the other hand eats through Legion Arrow and is fast enough that you can’t even throw her out of it
Astral Vision: you will deflect the illusion’s fireball first and, thus, it will go the wrong way, and destroy the real Morrigan’s fireball does not destroy the fake, and the illusion’s fireball is just as durable
Darkness Illusion: counterable, but so fast that you can’t during the cinematic[/details]
Hmm. I think there is jump start up, maybe I’m wrong, but if there is, it seems like an unnecessary risk to jump out of Dormammu L3
Still, valid point. Full screen I’ll do that every time.

Road Rage: the car eats through Legion Arrows and so this can be used during Legion Arrow’s cutscene to hit him, it also isn’t counterable[/details]
i dunno…way too early to tell. he’s a really good character for sure, tho. he lacks decent air mobility and he needs a level three IMO. he’s also on the slower side…
with that said, he builds meter like crazy, he hits mad hard, he has options (keepaway vs rushdown), his assist is great (the vertical arrows one), etc. etc.
with the right team he’s a huge threat.
Yeah in my opinion they should give him an uppercut or anti-air…maybe Stars n Stripes and his S should be an upward sword slash…Sword Master is really bad 
Hey fellow Taskmasterers, I’m having trouble with some aspects of Tasky’s play. I can do everything just fine in the training room, but the combos I get 90%+ offline become almost impossible online. How the hell do you perform swing combos online? Or any combo that requires some sort of timing/adjustment for positioning. It seems like I have to input everything and then hope it connects, because if I ever try to adjust my combo for what I’m looking at, it’s too late. And this is with 4bars, or even using “great connection” in the training room.
And then, what’s the gameplan against characters like Wolverine, or any character with a good divekick. It seems like he can just spam that shit all day, and hit confirm into huge damage, but all I can do is kind of zone him out with pokes/arrows and never use Taskmaster’s sweet, sweet combos.
to the first part, is it lag? if so you can recreate laggy conditions in training, otherwise just get the muscle memory down
To wolverine, if u see him dive kick, qcb+L
Well the muscle memory is down offline, but it seems like the timing of everything is off online. Or maybe I’m timing some things on what I see instead of playing it like a song, so online screws me up… dunno. But it seems like whenever I make the switch from offline -> online and vice versa, I can’t combo for a while…
2nd part, I doubt that can be done on reaction. When he dashes forward, he either comes low or jump + dive, and counters won’t beat both. So far my best plan has been to jump + block to avoid the mixup, but it happens so often, and one mistake leads into terrible, terrible damage. Basically I can’t find a spot to get my combo in. I guess I don’t know what to look for, this game is so different from other fighting games…
idk about the first part man, alls I can say to that is set the training connection to horrible and try.
training your reactions is part of what makes the counters so good. Task’s normals out range wolverine and come out fairly quickly, too so thats always worth a shot if you feel wolverines gettin predictable and you can catch him with it. If your gettin rushed to hell your best bet is to advance guard/arrows to keep him back.
if all else fails you could make him eat a DP or invulnerable assist.
and if you feel that you absolutely cannot stop him, it may be time to use one of your other two chars
Wolverine’s dive kick doesn’t hit high. You could just block low to avoid the “mix-up.”
i don’t know what to do against wolverine, either. i just rushdown and hope for the best…
all i know is you in the corner vs wolverine is not a good thing at all. seems like wolverine is a high risk high reward character. that speed up move is insane and should be talked about more than sent by far.
i also agree on the timing thing. task online is “off” IMO. i also have to listen to cues. i can’t play task and listen to music on my ipod…i have to hear him to know what to do next when i combo.
i just need more experience.
i don’t know if this combo was post before.
but i work the unblockable and i found you can follow up after the head butt with a quick combo 5 hits and the super.
the combo :
:dp: :h: (on block), :h:, , :h:,:h:,, maybe an other , :qcf: :l:
that give 30 hits and 385,000 damages.
on block i think it’s really correct.
Found a loop that does 100% with level 1 xfactor really easy in the corner.
Fish for hits with b+H into qcf+L, if it hits, xfactor and loop b+H into full charged qcf+L repeatedly. Kills… pretty much everyone.
If wolverine is rushing you down, you have a frame 1 invuln counter super
O_o
Use it
Now he can’t dive kick. He has no good aerial way to reset his pressure, or even approach. Now he’s scurred, so next time you air grab him. That’s 300k, welcome to USA. Suddenly he’s getting less and less scary.
Yeah, this combo is in the guide. It works really well, but Taskmaster does so much damage that he can kill with a normal combo after an x-factor cancel.
Don’t be spreading lies. The counter super has 5 start-up frames before the flash. They just happen to have invincibility.
This, don’t spam that super it will just get you killed. Honestly it’s startup is pretty damn horrid and useless outside of long active moves you see coming from a mile away or countering raw supers like maximum wesker and others that are just trying to chip you.
