What do you guys do for solo resets with Deadpool?
Also, Deadpool’s incoming mixups seem rather weak, even with assists, what are you guys doing for incoming? Both corner and midscreen?
Wow i had no idea some of you guys were at summerjam. I was watching the archives and saw wedge and javibaby. Wish i couldve got some sets with you guys :/.
Were you the dude playing wesker/wade/clint? There were a few deadpools there but you were definitely holding it down.
I really fucked up this weekend, was dropping all my stuff. If you saw my stream set you could tell lol.
Yeah, there were a lot of Deadpools, too many in fact lol. &yeah, that was me, made it out of pools into top32. Lost to Flux and PzPoy, 2 of the best Zero’s so I can’t be too mad. Wish we could’ve traded tech and stuff, you were doing some different stuff than I usually see out of Deadpools. &how’d you end up doing? I remember seeing you win that match on stream.
Actually, you were the guy who approached me after my match Flux right?
I don’t remember if that was me or not lol. I was wearing a DP shirt and glasses saturday.
Saturday was kind of a blurry day for me. I went 2-2, thing is I got Rayray first round in pools so that sucked, so I was trying to battle my way back through losers. Won my next two matches 3-1, but then had to play Rikir. Screwed up some stuff and got bopped by tron to death.
Wasn’t a great weekend for me, I played like crap saturday but was doing well in my MMs on sunday.
do you guys have links to your matches at all? i wanna watch them but i can’t seem to find any of them on youtube for summer jam 7 or evo 2013 at all.
Me sucking ass at summer jam? Alright here ya go.
thank you! i enjoyed those matches =D. the reason i asked for them is because it’s nice to see good deadpools playing in tournaments because they seem to be a rare commodity on streams.
Did anyone else know that you can do taunt into thc?
That shit cray .
What advice do you have for Dp/Doom/Strider against the Mag/Doom match up?
Your primary objective is to limit magneto’s air movement. Jump M guns and plasma beam to start out are the easiest way to keep out mags mid to full screen range. If he’s using his plasma beam assist to get in, you counter-call it with vajra and try to lock him down from moving in and getting in your ass. If he’s using missiles, counter-call it with plasma beam and hit him out of it. Deadpool should be focusing on limiting the opponent’s air movement with his guns, while the assist is focused on limiting the opponent’s ground movement and countering the opponent’s assists to keep him from advancing on you. It’s all about the range game vs. Magneto. If you can establish your wall, you can beat him.
Wedge vs Rikir, two of my favorite players, nice.
Finally had a lot of play offline against a ton of teams, used my Deadpool team for almost all of it, and I finally managed to get some offline matchup experience versus Morridoom and team Norcal. I did really well, considering my Hawkeye is day 4 now. I have my own thoughts on the matchups now, but would like your inputs, because I wanna get more used to fighting the current “meta” or whatever. For the record, my assists are Task’s vertical arrows and Hawkeye’s triple arrow.
Magneto/Missiles: I couldn’t just jumping M guns and call assist, because Disruptor sniped that out a lot. Mags has to stop going in to do so, though, so I found that guessing it and superjumping back with L guns works to tag him once or twice. When he finally starts getting pissed and going in, if he doesn’t have missiles on the field at the moment he gets zoned free. If he does, I’ve been trying to escape under him with a quick work H (dem vanilla online tactics :P), or Quick Work L and triple arrow to keep it safe. Once or twice I got a full combo that avoided missiles entirely and got the kill that way, which was nice. When Mags is dead, Task Vertical arrows and Deadpool absolutely owns Doom, he can’t do much with rapid slash against that. I snapped Vergil in most of the matches, but I am considering the merits or just killing Doom and hoping the incoming mixup works.
Morridoom: When she’s in doublemode, I could not do shit, most Morrigans I fight online can’t actually keep up the wall that well and I usually find an opening, but this was tougher. I ended up just superjumping, Ninja Gift L, doublejumping and blocking on the way down, saved me some chip, eventually I was able to build a meter, hear the Doom call, superjump guns hyper, DHC to Legion Arrow forward, and go in like a nut, which worked pretty consistently, actually, triple arrow on Task is really good for that, but Deadpool himself had some trouble doing anything but playing defense. His anchor was Hawkeye too, so XF3 Hawkeye mirrors were funky.
I don’t see a matchup thread, but I’d totally be down for discussing these matchups, I’d like to know if there’s any other ways to fight these guys.
Also, Zero/Jam Session I found is brutal up close, to say something extremely obvious, but I can fight him from fullscreen. The problem, though, is what should I do when the match starts to get that space on Zero, this one just kept going in and showing me the same old movie. I’m considering playing Task point for that matchup, unless people over here have some better ideas.
That and getting zoning started when Morrigan’s got her fists out, both I need some advice on.
Against morrigan i just start tasky. Wade cant do shit.
“Wade beats morrigan” -wedge 2013.
So, what about Zero rushdown? That’s a pretty unfamiliar matchup for me too. I’m fine fullscreen-to-3/4ths-away, but midscreen it’s a bit too scary to press buttons.
shoot him with medium guns and hope he doesn’t beat you out with buster.
catch his dashes with bolo and kill
Use j.H guns to try to shoot him out of the sky and a horizontal assist to control the ground. Doom beam works best. if you can get away from him at the start and begin your zoning game first, it’s winnable. Watch for bad habits that you can launch him out of or bolo him out of.
I need to bolo more as an attempt to hitconfirm against unsafe air habits. always forget to do that. Usually when I do so I forget how far horizontally it goes and end up whiffing into bad situations, or superjumping when I should’ve jumping bolo, mostly just not being used to the move out of combos. Been experimenting in ranked matches online, but that’s a bad place to try out something for the first time.
Right now to get myself started against Zero, if I have room to superjump I call Task then immediatley superjump and ninja stars. Seems to give me the space to start.
when i catch with air bolo,i just like to dash up and use launcher to start off the combo.
