Just tried it out. For me Dark Hole hits, but not long enough to get an M Centurian Rush. Could you post the video of your combo?

The combo at like 5:40 or something like that
Nova/Frank/Ammy or Nova/Frank/Spencer ?
Or any other suggestions ?
Nova Spencer Frank is the order you want to rock if you wanna use those characters
nah …
Q. how do you do Novas instant overhead though?
you jump and then instantly dash down (not diagonally!) and do j.L. super jumping is apparently quicker but whatever works best for you.
Also I prefer Ammy to Spencer for Nova/Frank because it’s an extra neutral assist (with spencer, you won’t have one for frank) and Ammy has a lot of ways to level Frank up both by being on point and by being an assist. Also she’s a better anchor imo.
If you want to use those characters, that is the order that is best. Nova/Spencer is already good and then Shopping Cart backs up both of them for their approach. Nova, DHC into Spencer, and then zig zag grapple allows you to hardtag in Frank for a level up (unless I’m mistaken). And like Blue Lightening said, Spencer assist won’t help out Frank when/if Nova dies…sooo…yeah.
i like to get frank to level 5, use him until he dies then use nova/spencer but i guess your right because i wont have an assist. il try ammy out for a while… and thanks to bluelighting for letting me know
I just hit the lab. Nova/Spencer/Frank gets you to level 4 Frank with 1 combo dealing 1.092M with 2 meters and I JUST found a variation that’s adding even more damage…it clocked in at 1.125M ending with a snapshot (no super) 2 meters.
EDIT:

Nova/Frank/Ammy is a better Frank team by a mile; Nova/Spencer/Frank is more along the lines of 2 point characters + Frank pushing a shopping cart. If you’re leaning more towards Nova/Spencer/Frank I’d either split it up to Nova/Frank, Spencer/Frank, or Nova/Spencer; I wouldn’t keep all three together.
Just gonna throw out that I don’t think Cold Star is a good neutral assist… I never throw it out without a knockdown or serious lockdown (Grav Pulse H), and you know what? My dog is always alive at the end of the game. I tried Nova/Frank/Ammy and I didn’t like Shopping Cart as a neutral assist as much as I thought I would… I think Plasma Beam has just spoiled me entirely.
I’ve used that team for a while (Nova/Task/Dorm) before. If you’re right in the corner, the Dark Hole won’t pin them down long enough to do M Rush, H Rush. If you want to use that team and still want extensions, practice doing the extension with Taskmaster’s H arrows. (Nova Slam, Assist, M Rush, H Rush)
Dark Hole does make a very good reset if the other guy doesn’t know that the extension doesn’t work in the corner though. (Nova Slam + Hole, flight, fly forward a bit, grab)
Yeap…I realized in my combos, they start in the corner but the j.S that I do doesn’t push them ALL THE WAY into the corner so you have some room.
Nova/Task/Strider good? Its my Day one team. I had not too many problems so far. I’d like a character change, any would be fine
Shopping cart is a godlike neutral assist; you’re probably just using it wrong. Slide + Shopping cart all the way. Easy hit confirm, and if it’s blocked you can either retreat and setup a pulse, or dash in and start your mixup game. Plenty of time to do either. And don’t worry about the damage; the goal is to get Frank leveled, not have Nova do the damage (not to mention depending on your anchor you can actually still do fantastic damage off a slide + frank hit confirm).
And to add, you’ll have avery nice mixup on wake up from either a tech roll or a neutral wake p your opponent if you immediately call Frank while they are in the animation. You can go straight to an instant air dash J.H xx fly J.L to check if they are blocking, then unfly with j.L and start a short ground string. I’ve seen this happen in Peaceful Jays lobby a while ago and it was impressive
that was pretty nasty dude, you use stick or pad? my stick broke and i dont have the $ to buy a new one so i gotta get used to this 360controller :smh
Yeah again, I was/am coming off of the Plasma Beam mindset, which is: call Doom, ADF option select throw, do whatever. It’s so brainless.
I use a 360 pad…always have always will.
Nova Strider is definitely good since Nova has many OTG options. I just don’t see Vajra being optimal for Taskmaster.
I posted on the previous page asking for anchor/assist to go with Nova/Taskmaster. I currently have Akuma, which is fine, but others have suggested Amaterasu (team Moons), Vergil (team Taekua, different order), Dante, and Sentinel.
On the other hand, Taskmaster could be swapped out for a different second. I’d consider looking into Vergil for that spot. Have Nova Force hard knockdown and DHC into sword loops. Pretty easy one million damage for three meters, and you’ll have Vergil Nova “hard to blockables.”
