I feel that way with a lot of characters. IM, Strider, Joe, I just need good teams with them. :\ I have a decent team, but I need a better 3rd character to round out the rest. Doing a bit of soul searching.
You know, after playing the matchup a lot, I find that Logan isn’t as hard to deal with once you get away from him. He can’t plow through beams and repulsor anymore in Ultimate so a team like mine (Mag, Sent,IM) can keep him at bay and murder his assists.
We have a local guy that plays a strong wolv/doom/vergil and I feel like X23/IM/RR matches or beats that team.
I don’t like that Wolvie gets to duck under almost everything. It’s nice that fuzzy guard will force him to block beams though. Otherwise I feel like it’s mostly just about smart blocking and spacing.
Iron Man beats Wolverine/Vergil? Uhhh…
Iron man beats doom clean, and mad hopper unblockable / dirt nap beats vergil or RR stalls XF vergil. X23 goes toe to toe with Wolvie.
As a team, I feel like X23/IM/RR beats Wolvie/Doom/Vergil. Never said IM beats all three or anything close to that.
Crouching H is invaluable in dealing with Vergil. You don’t commit to it and it allows you to dictate how he will move to avoid it.
As a support character Iron Man actually has decent or good matchups against most of the common anchors in the game. All the more reason to put a strong point character first that really benefits from Unibeam, so you can kill the shit out of the game’s pesky point characters and when you’re done to Iron Man you only have to kill Sentinel, Magneto, Strider, Doom ETC

Lol you are commiting fully everytime you do that move, every followup and the move itself loses to 5h or 6h, that move is a death sentence in the matchup vs someone competent. Then again to be fair he doesnt actually have any options in the first place.

It has it’s uses in 1 v 1 against non-xf vergil…but honestly…how often does that ever happen. 
If he’s XF’d or has meter or has some hori assist that doesn’t lose to UB or c.H you’re pretty much fucked. (so you’re always fucked, is what I’m saying.)
I’m assuming that you have saved IM to the end and have meter/X factor to Iron Avenger, XF his ass. Vergil can’t cancel whiffs.
Vergil can pretty much react to the startup and press H can he not? Or does the explosion hit him?

5h is a 10 frame move you can not react to that shit. It straight up cuts the missile.
I meant Vergil reacting to the slow ass missile. The startup of the missile is even longer than it seems because it has to travel far enough to reach Vergil whereas him, not so much.
Doesn’t help that all of IM’s specials are projectiles, lol.

You gotta somehow manage to hit him with c.L or c.M. That’s basically all you can do.

I was responding to the guy who suggested doing x factor. Anyhow the best bet in the matchup is falling with j.s on them while they have swords up as it will cleanly hit vergil before you reach the swords, if he blocks you are fucked but you dont have much else. Random level 3 is a very sadly necessary option sometimes.
Even though the SRK IronMan Forums haven’t been very active I just wanna consider is there any match-up where CR H into Fly H unfly H is really helpful because that isn’t a bad hit confirm with Drones.I was thinking it might be really helpful in the haggar match-up

I use Cr.H to zone cancel into unibeam, assist call, repulsar blast and bait for superjump confirm with the help of assist. Fly H unfly H on the ground seems good in theory but in practice not so much imo although bunny hop H variation I found to be a more useful zoning tool and keep away.
Also I have recently Realized its better to do TK unibeam against big bodies it really makes it super hard for them to get in like I never really try to do Ground Zoning against hulk way more dangerous but TK unibeam make it hard for him to hop soo he has to try to jump which is what IronMan wants

One extremely good tool I have never seen any Iron man use is JH, Ju+h or JD.H x into unibeam or smart bomb then back out or go in with air dash air m or cr.l/st.l very good against selective characters like sentinel, spider man putting normal and projectile in the way.
