Any tips on fighting Nemesis? I don’t know if I should be having this many problems against him but I’m having a lot of trouble with his combination of Deadly Reach, rockets and high damage. Deadly Reach feels like GR’s chain. A bit shorter but very similar.
How about vs Vergil? I finally remembered this game has a record function and busted out my 8 button stick to test some stuff. I can’t find anything that reliably beats out beam assist+teleport mixup into H S cancel. I just have to block right and puchblock but I can’t seem to punish after.
You can actually punish the teleport with a normal grab if he teleports before the beam. If it’s Disruptor assist, Gamma Charge through it to hit Magneto.
My general strategy against assist + teleport spam is jumping. Seems to work well for me.
When I tried jumping I found the vertical range on Vergil’s normals is enough to catch if I jump on reaction.
Right now a big thing is I need to train myself to be able to react to teleports.

The trick to get arthur to shine is to trick hulk. Don’t call an assist, Let hulk standing H a couple of time, pushblock out, then when hulk is used to you pushblocking, stop pushblocking and throwout that crouching L chain if it hits you can launch hulk ,otg into a super, or snap him out to kill off hulks favored assist
Hello, sorry for intruding right now, but this was the closest i found to a matchup/matchmaking thread over here.
The hulk match-up is one i have lots of trouble in, when that should not, at all be the case. I play a team of Magneto/wesk/sen that should have (theoretically) absolute advantage over hulk, but i still get blown the fuck up by him.
What gives you the most trouble when using hulk against these characters? how the fuck do I start the match without gettin thrown or smashed to the ground?
finally, if there’s any UK/FR hulks with a nice connection to portugal, on PSN, i’d love to get some rounds in.
NNOOOO, don’t help him. For the Hulk Bro code, he wants to beat me!!!
Seriously now, like I said many times before, you are still losing due to not playing the matchup at all. You still try to challenge Hulk’s armor with Magneto’s slower normals like cr.H and j.S. Even when playing fullscreen, and especially having drones, you should be able to chip away half of Hulk’s life.
If anyone wants to see our latest match (3-0) it’s here http://pt.twitch.tv/uplayfighters/b/306950904 27:30 in.
Oh, on top of that I’m the one doing commentary while I play so that should show you just how more aware of the match I am, I’m doing better playing while commentating than you who are just playing. Get your mind in the match. Play the matchup.
Having said that, if anyone can give me some info on how to fight Ghost Rider I’d appreciate it. I can’t seem to get him except for a random preemptive j.S trying to beat his j.S startup. Gamma charge and armored moves are useles against chains. j.S seems to be the best tactic in the match.
I WAS FOUND OUT xD
But thanks, obake.

Hulk vs MODOK
This match is so god damn hard, MODOK shuts hulk down in the air with hit J.L? (the move where he flails his tiny legs) That move last a long time and its a multi hit. MO is a lot faster than people give him credit for and if he has a decent behind him it becomes extremely hard for Hulk to really do anything. I have a buddy who is extremely good with MO and I swear I have to work hard as hell just to get a win. MO zones hulk hard and controls the air with J.L? and his beams which are surprisingly fast as hell. You guys have any tips for defeating the giant head?
You don’t. It’s probably okay if you have a couple of dominating assists that can help control Modok (Vajra, Missles), but nothing else will really help in the fight. Modok is a beast of a character. Your best bet is to use Hulk’s AA assist and put someone else on point. It’s probably an 8-2 or 9-1 fight straight up.
I faced off against Pigg, a well known and highly skilled Modok player on XBL, using my Hulk team and it was NOT pretty.
LOL, Pigg is the guy who I play against! His MODOK team is just so dominating. I run Hulk/Dorm/Sent and the only way I can get a win is if I kill his MODOK right off the bat. That gatling gun controls the ground and his J.L controls the air so I just have to play patient as hell and inch my way in.
Im having a hard time against my friends team and i could use some help. His main team is Zero May Cry, and i play a hulk/ryu/sent team. Now if i can establish good ground game its almost granted i win, but that hardly ever happens lol. Now basically i just need tips on getting past his derpy ass zero. Any tips? And note that his other teams are garbage and i can shut him out so its not really skill involved. I just hate zero may cry teams. To derpy to even cry about. Anybody else agree?
Hulk vs. Zero is not in your favor and those assists are not helping you in that matchup. It’s probably one of the worst for Hulk. The other one is Vergil. Both of whom are on his team.
You need a way to keep Zero grounded. Strider, Doom, or Dante are going to be options in that regard.
If you want to keep this team, I would suggest starting Ryu and using Hulks AA assist. Ryu has a few more tools against Zero to make him play a more honest game. If you feel like leaving Hulk on point, what I tend to do against ZMC is X-factor kill Zero the first chance I get and take my chances. A lot of Zero players, especially bad ones will zip around on the top of the screen. They cannot block after they do their lightning attack, so a well times Gamma Crush will put a real dent in their HP.
Air grabs are your best friend, but unless you’re using Rocket Punch (please god, no), you don’t have the right assists to “easily” convert off of it.
What atre hulks worst matchups and why?
Zoning and Multi-Hits shut him down pretty hard, so I’ll go with:
[LIST]
[]Morrigan (May very well be his worst match-up)
[]Zero
[]Dorm
[]Magneto
[*]MODOK
[/LIST]
Oddly, I would say all five of these characters are far more of a threat to Hulk than Hawkeye. Gamma Crush>Gimlet, and use Hulk’s fat ass as a meat shield while your assist comes out. When you get Hawkeye into the corner, you’ve already won.
Wanted to add to this. There are 2 simple rules I follow with Hagger.
- Don’t go in on Hagger
- Watch out for pipe and lariat
So I gave up fighting Hagger up close and personal. If I am fighting a Hagger on point, I build the space between us at the start and get full screen away (sometimes they are confused because Hulk is always in peoples faces). What I do from there is call drone assist and full screen gamma wave. I lame him out. Eventually he will want to jump or super jump in. If he super jumps in HE WANTS TO PIPE YOU…this is perfect. Because I know that he wants to pipe me…they all want it. So just eat the pipe with a standing :h: into a full combo. If he doesn’t do a move, cancel into gamma charge and add an :h: to get away. That’s it, nothing special, just be lame. I’ve run into too many good Haggers that I just don’t want to deal with their bullshit.
Damn…been a while since I was here.
You don’t necessarily have to be Lame with Haggar, just know how to punish him.
Great way to do that is right at the start of the match (if you’re Hulk is leading off against a Haggar on point.) Get face-to-face with them if they wanna charge forward, and right before you hear “FIGHT”, jump up & away. 9/10 they’ll go for the Lariat, and you should respond with standing :h: :s:, launching them for a quick combo. The only way out of it for Haggar is go for his punch Hyper, which you can counter with Gamma Crush.
Hulk vs Dr.Strange
Just put the control down and cry. I am convinced that Strange vs Hulk is 8-2 (Strange) if Strange can get one eye of avodcado out then hulk can’t do anything. I was playing against a guy who used Strange/Vergil/Dorm. we essentially did a FT30 where I only won 11 matches, I couldn’t get passed the Eye and he killed my superjumps with mystic sword and if I got near him he would use the Eye and Vergil rapid slash to push me full screen. Even if I could get rid of his other characters I still couldn’t do anything against Strange.
Been a while since I’ve posted in here, but I am looking for some help. I’m having an issue with Zero with jam session assist.
So I’m looking to improve my standing in this particular matchup since I play quite a few Zero may cry teams now. I need help figuring out how to punish a buster lightning heavy Zero. I can block almost all day, but I can’t punish these shenanigans without getting opened up in the process or being put in a nearly permanent block stun.
I know there is an opening to punish Zero between his buster and lightning, but I’m not sure on when to attack or if my light attack is fast enough really.
My team is Hulk/Dorm/Sent and I have dark hole + drones for assists. I’ve pushed this team really far and I am looking to see if anyone else has come up with a good strat for Zero.
go to about 2:38 for the buster punish
Zero is just a horrible match up for Hulk. You have to play patient, look for an opening and take it. Sadly Hulk has to take a lot more risks in this match but if you can lock Zero down then go for a command throw and kill him. Most people don’t expect Hulk to use his command throw so they forget he has it. Once you have Zero locked down DON’T let him get away or your going to play another game of cat and flying hitbox.
