Reposting from the Team Building Thread…

Hulk is my favorite character despite being mid-tier. Hulk has a lot of holes that need covering.

There are a few characters that help cover these holes:

Horizontal approach: Taskmaster, Doom, Strange, Sentinel, Arthur , Rocket Raccoon

These chars all have projectiles that help Hulk close the gap. SLOW projectiles work the best.

Vertical control: Doom, Dante

Hulk can’t do much about characters that dominate the air. He needs help. All of the above help in that regard. Vajra is not ideal for hulk.

Misc: Deadpool, Haggar, Dormammu

Quick work provides unblockables, OTGs off air throws (gamma wave) and relaunches. Lariat is so durp with Hulk. Its like going full retard,but it does do all that quick work does sans unblockables. Dark hole can help Hulk OTG off wave and benefits from Hulks anti air very well.

In my opinion,the best Hulk teams cover Hulks holes and also can use his anti-air assist when the matchup is heavily against him. I don’t think an Otg assist is worth it for Hulk. You can kill off just about anything, even airthrows and command grabs if your have the right team.

Hulk, Doom, Dante
Hulk, Taskmaster, Doom

You often see Hulk & Haggar together. Don’t. You will beat just about every ground based character in the game, but the best characters won’t be bothered by this. Nevermind zoning teams

I’ve been using a team consisting of Hulk and taskmaster, and so far I’ve had more Guest Third spots than Scooby Doo. the three I’ve been looking at is Skrull, Shuma Gorath and now Vergil. are any of these particularly attractive?

463

It depends on what you’re trying to do with the team and what type of assist that you have. Most of Vergils assist don’t benefit Hulk since they push the opponent away and I don’t really know how well Hulk helps out Vergil. Being able to DHC into swords is nice though. Rapid slash is really good for Task though, but the problem is that synergy isn’t really great with the team.

Skrull can help Hulk extend combos with most of his combos but I don’t know how well Skrull and Task mesh together.

Shuma and Hulk actually work pretty well together since mystic ray can help you combo off command throws and it also allows you to combo off of air throws. It is also an amazing keep away assist for Task so this may actually be the best character for you to use since the synergy is there.

464

I found out that Hawkeye’s otg assist can be used to combo off command throw midscreen like Sent otg punch. The issue I am having now is that if I run Hulk/Skrull/Hawkeye, I have no zoning assists. I’m thinking about dropping Skrull from the lineup for now, but I need someone who provides some sort of projectile or zoning assist.

465

Hulk always had problems calling his assists. I guess Bruce Banner really ‘is’ free. Along with a literal sense.

466

Played around some more with Hulk/Skrull/Hawkeye and I have found that Hawkeye’s otg assist only really works to combo off command throw. Now with Skrull tenderizer I can combo off of air throw but it scales pretty hard. I experimented with Taskmaster H arrow assist off air throw and it can be done, but it’s very tight. Basically you have to pop up the opponent at precisely the right time for Task to get full 3 hits while you remain in range for launch S. Very finicky.

I’ll have to experiment some more. I really don’t want to play Sent with Hulk.

467

Hulk/Skrull/Strange can be very good. Once you have Hulk in with the Tenderizer assist, you can go for H/L with Hulk if they are backed in a corner. (J H, J H, cr L or pause then command grab) You’ll have a problem with command grabs and air grabs will not kill very easily.

Earlier I said Hulk/Haggar is suicide…then KBR takes that team to top 10 at FR. If your grab game is good enough, that team can do work. I think it takes a special player to make that work at a high level, but I think it’s worth MY time to play with that team because grabs are my Achilles. I can see why his team makes sense if you can manage to get close and abuse Lariat. Certainly a talented player. What I learned from watching him was how important it is for Hulk to be able to capitalize off his throws. Right now, I can kill of air throws, but not off command grabs and that’s a weakness in my team.

468

I have the opposite issue, if I run Hulk/???/Hawkeye, I can get the kill off command grab but only 500-600 K off of air throw. I’m still experimenting with team comp for that middle spot. But yes, Skrull Tenderizer in the corner is a near guaranteed mixup. You have time to check if they are blocking high to get a low attack in, or if they duck it, command grab.

469

After so many teams, i found my special one. Gamma everywhere!

Shehulk (Torpedo)/ Hulk (Gamma charge or wave) / Taskmaster (H. Arrows)

I like this order as she hulk has better mobility than hulk, Task assist helps a lot for closing in. Charge assist can do some nasty things to setup command grabs with shehulk, even the super antiair grab, she can confirm too if the charge connects. Wave works kind of similar with the plus that is OTG, so she can use it in combos as well.

A command throw with S-Hulk is a guaranteed dead char, Command throw—raw tag hulk—kill. Even Taskmaster can kill out of this setup too, with a little more work though (doing two reps of charging star—stab then dhc-ing after the super).

Hulk CAN EXTEND combos from middlescreen using S-Hulk assist, is a little tricky but works. Do your combo, then after de j.S do a H Gamma Charge and call S-Hulk (do it when you’re like in the df motion of the Gamma Charge) is something like d,df+A1,f+H. f you do it right, S-hulk will be running alongside the charging hulk (looks pretty cool actually lol) you can relaunch after this. I cant do it consistenly yet, but im getting there. Hulk can confirm after an air throw too, using torpedo. Task assist helps him get in close too, and torpedo also can setup nasty unblockables with hulk’s j.S, especially for an incoming character.

Other version of this team is with hulk on point, it can do work too, almost any hit from hulk is a dead character.

DHC-ing is good, after emerald super, hulk can follow up with quake or tsunami (no crush :frowning: ). Tsunami is better if she hulk connected the emerald with the oponnent in the corner (do more damage). Both hulks cand DHC into task very well too.

in a nutshell.

what you get:

  • A LOT of health (all three have above 1.000.000)

  • Powerful Raw damage.

  • Decent DHC-ing

-TODs everywhere lol

  • A cool team! xD

  • Decent ground movility

  • An anchor that can do a good work.

  • Insane damage when X factored, no matter the char

  • Powerful resets

  • Raw tag combos

What will you be lacking:

  • Air control, still u can do something if u choose gamma wave and vertical arrows, but isnt great either, and you lose H arrows, which are better for bruce and Jen.

  • Great mixups, but still some are decent.

  • Anti Teleport tech, but i think something can be figured out.

  • Poor THC IMO

  • TAC inf.

It is my team now, and i feel that finally i have the team that i wanted, despite the weaknesses.

Running a Hulk (wave)/ Wesker (gun shot)/ Doom (rocks)

I think that this team is pretty powerful. Wekser gives Hulk a nice unblockable set up, and Doom rocks moves slow enough that it covers Hulks approach. Then if I switch Hulk Wesker around Wesker gets two great assists for mix ups.

471

I’m running Hulk(Gamma wave)/Wright/(get em missile)/Doom(plasma beam) and was wondering, what is the best assist for Hulk and what Doom assist is good for hulk(I can run either missiles or beam)

472

Depends or how good you are with Hulk. If you need help getting in, go with Doom’s Plasma Beam. If you don’t, Hidden Missiles to help open them up. Molecular Shield also helps to keep Phoenix open to collect evidence…

473

I suck with hulk, tho I am getting better(Used to run Haggar/Wright/Doom) using anti air assist with hulk. Thinking of replacing Doom with a better anchor just don’t know who

474

What do you guys think about this team hulk sentinel Shuma …?
