I need help! And a pony! The Deadpool Team Thread!

Yeah I definitely wanna try it because I know how much better Doom would be than Wesker on this team, especially with Beam or Missiles. Sadly since the first air-dashing character I played was Iron-Man, I’m a little hesitant to play characters like that. But because I like Deadpool/Strider so much I’ll definitely try.

Would you guys start Dante at point or Deadpool?

I want to go with a Dante/Deadpool/Amy team and will probably stick Amy at anchor.

Is it possible to create unblockables using Dante at point, Deadpool at #2 and his quick work assist?

Are there any benefits to putting Deadpool at point over Dante?

Well from having played both of the orders you suggested of the team, Dante is decent as a lead but leading with Deadpool is tons better. Dante doesn’t get a ton out of any of Deadpool’s assists and Deadpool gets tons more work out of Dante’s assists. Snighter21 has a good example of a really good Deadpool lead. Not to mention he shows how effective Deadpool/Dante synergy works.

Also just from personal experience the match flows a lot easier because Deadpool sets the pace early match much better than Dante.

I’ve been considering a Ghost Rider (? assist)/Deadpool (Happy Trigger)/ Akuma (Tatsu) team lately. I like GR and Deadpool’s keepaway game and I think Happy Trigger would be a good anti-air assist to cover the vertical space that GR can’t really get to. Tatsu would be a good get off assist for GR and lockdown for Deadpool. GR is a great battery to build meter for Deadpool and Akuma.

I wasn’t too sure if Quick Work would be a better assist to use since it could create unblockables with GR’s j.S/Chain of Rebuttal, or if I should use Happy Trigger to help fill the screen to play a zoning game against my opponent. Any thoughts on if I should make any adjustments to the team or advice to use on how to use the team in general?

A friend of mine is learning the game. He likes Deadpool. but his initial team was Deadpool Logan and Chun in that order. so I took it upon myself to give him a hand.

deadpool (quick or katana) Sentinel (dronez) Trish ( peekaboo)
I am iffy on Trish though. I think he can learn some stuff with her.

Deadpool has easy confirm of Trigger happy xx happy happy. and Sentinel I feel is a good character to learn marvel with. But I’m wondering if I should have Trish there or perhaps Wesker as he’s just starting. What say you guys?

he also likes Iron Man, so Unibeam is good… but it comes with Tony

[Wedge]

I’d suggest Wesker. Good character to learn the basics and can also extend throw and overhead combos for the damage of a full BnB. Plus, he can do the capture glitch with Wesker instead of x23.

Posted this in the Deadpool general thread but since this is the team thread I figured I might as well put it here too.

It’s almost 100% necessary to play either Deadpool/Doom, Deadpool/Strider, Deadpool/Dante, Deadpool/Sent (with a VERY strong third character), or Deadpool/Akuma in some way, shape, or form.
[LIST]
[]Doom:
-Beam assist used to lock down and also assist in zoning. Most notable use of the beam assist is by Rei Chan in his Deadpool/Doom/Wesker team that won KVO in Japan, there is no best way to explain it but finding and watching the KVO WFs and GFs would probably be your best bet.
-Missiles are used for lockdown and zoning purposes from the skies and to make Deadpool’s projectiles and approaches safer. WARNING: You must protect Doom while he’s chucking missiles. You will have to keep your opponent engaged with Deadpool until Doom is close to finished chucking missiles, then go back to attacking with ranged projectiles. However, Doom can be used to bait a punish and then react with a teleport to a full punish combo on reaction. Losing Doom is a big risk and is not suggested unless one is fully confident that the bait will work.
-Missiles can also be used in combos in conjunction with Deadpool’s Madwheel (Forward+M) overhead, such as in this combo. It allows you to use two hyper meters in one combo, significantly increasing the damage Deadpool can do off of one hit confirm. The bnb version of this used is [c.LMHS > sj.MMHS > (land) > DP+HxxH > dash > Madwheel > A1 > QCF+MxxM > j.QCF+AA > (land) > (Missiles Hit) > Madwheel > QCF+MxxM > j.QCF+AA. Both of the grenades have to be cancelled into the air hypers btw. This only does about 850k if fully mashed, but can still kill or nearly kill a significant portion of the cast.
-Deadpool’s “Cutting Time” QCB hyper is one of few that leads perfectly into Doom’s “Sphere of Flame” DP hyper. A DHC between the two in a combo can do at least 750k off of a Deadpool.
-Doom can also DHC back into Deadpool easily. Ending a midscreen air combo with Doom’s finger lasers into Deadpool’s HHT (QCF) hyper is a safe way to get Doom out and do about 845k in the process.
[]Strider
-Vajra is the only useful Strider assist, but is possibly Deadpool’s BEST assist for zoning purposes. It keeps the opponent locked down at any place on the screen. This allows Deadpool to take advantage of his projectile game without worrying about most opponents getting around them and hitting him.
-Pineapple surprise, a generally avoidable projectile against most characters vs. a solo Deadpool, is significantly buffed with the use of Strider’s Vajra. Throw a grenade and call vajra. If the enemy attempts to jump up to avoid the grenade, vajra will force them back down into it and they will eat the chip damage of both the assist and grenade. If they are hit by the grenade, strider can combo off of the hitstun of the grenade into a hard knockdown, which can lead into a Kata/Chimi to a full 650k or so combo. If they backdash to avoid Vajra, they are susceptible to getting hit by a gun special into a teleport mixup due to having to remain grounded to backdash. The final option is to simply chuck another grenade at the opponent while strider locks them down to make sure it’s 100% safe to throw the grenade.
-Vajra in general can generate a hard knockdown off of any aerial hit on the opponent. Deadpool can combo off of the knockdown with DP+HxxH and finish the combo for a full 600k+ combo. Strider also has significant synergy with Doctor Doom as both of Doom’s standing medium and hard normals can OTG off of the vajra knockdown with ease into a full, damaging combo. Because of the fantastic synergy between the three, Deadpool/Doom Missiles/Strider Vajra is one of Deadpool’s strongest teams in terms of zoning.
[]Dante:
-Jam Session is Dante’s Commando to Deadpool’s Cable. Being the only strong pillar assist in the game comparable to Captain Commando’s in Marvel 2, it’s a good GTFO tool for zoning. Its only flaw is against teleport characters that can get behind Deadpool and Jam Session. However, this is not a great concern as other precautions can be taken to deal with teleport characters. The key to making Jam Session work is very smart and precise assist calling.
-Jam Session can also be used in Deadpool’s BnB to add an extra air S in the corner and sometimes midscreen. With the opponent cornered: c.LMHS > sj.MMHS > (land) > DP+HxxH > backdash > A1 > s.S > sj.S(assist hits)S > (land) > QCF+MxxM > QCF+AA. Does around 643k fully mashed.
-Weasel Shot can be used to lock down the opponent for zoning in addition to being used to approach and attempt to score lows or an overhead on unsuspecting opponents. The most notable use of Weasel Shot is by Deadpool/Date/Felicia player Damian, and it is suggested that for further learning on how to use the Weasel Shot assist, Damian’s tournament videos should be watched.
[]Akuma:
-Tatsu is the only assist Akuma should be using in conjunction with Deadpool. In a combo, calling an Akuma tatsu assist after a katanarama OTG allows Deadpool to use another OTG later on in the combo. This combo is best used in the corner for ease, but the Katanarama can be cancelled into a teleport to follow the path the Akuma assist carries it in for a relaunch oppertunity. It goes as follows (in the corner): c.LMHS > sj.HS > (land) > A1 > DP+H > (Tatsu Hits) > s.S > sj.HS > (land) > DP+HxxH > (wallbounce) > DP+MxxH > QCF+AA.
-Tatsu’s high priority over many moves and invincibility to normal projectiles makes him a perfect zoning partner for Deadpool. Tatsu can lock the opponent down and push them back so that Deadpool can either retreat and chuck some more bullets and projectiles, or score a mixup while the opponent is locked down.
[*]Sentinel:
-I need more experimenting with Sent, but Zeohawk seems to be the best example of Deadpool/Sentinel in addition to Tatsu, although Tatsu’s focus is more on X-23 than Deadpool. Information will be added to this as I experiment with the character combination more.

I started writing this at 12 AM for the heck of it and the got obsessed and it turned into 2:30 AM. Forgive any typos or notation mistakes, I’ll fix them in the morning.

Hey guys, I’m new to deadpool but I was planning on running Spider-Man/Deadpool/X not really sure on an anchor. I was thinking Dorm or Arthur.

For a while in vanilla I was playing Tron/Deadpool/Thor but I wasn’t pulling my own weight with team selection and order.

I basically want to relearn Deadpool.

I’ve got a friend who plays deadpool/spiderman/hawkeye. It’s a very well put together team. Amazing at zoning.

[FuLLBLeeD]

All I know is that Shuma with Katanarama assist would have some serious damage output.

[Arachnofiend]

I wanted to get back into this game again. Got bored of losing with Tron so I’m going to try out Taskmaster/Deadpool/Skrull. Dunno what to use for the assists though, right now I’ve got Deadpool on Katanarama and Skrull on Orbital Grudge but I’m pretty open to advise. Any suggestions?

[steeler]

I’ve been playing Deadpool/Haggar/Doom lately. Switching between Missiles and Beam lets me do different things with both other characters, who I alternate on point (lately more DP). But DP with a Doom assist and Lariat feels great. Just when your opponent thinks they’ve gotten around your zoning, a Haggar assist comes out and fucks everything up. DHC with Cuttin’ Time into Haggar Press (and Sphere Flame if necessary) works well. Lariat extends combos by saving your ground bounce the first time you Katanarama. Point Haggar with DP second synergy is amazing. I feel like this team just works really well against teams that don’t have a really heavy focus on zoning. And even then, DP with Doom assist can manage most of the time.

I started playing Dormammu/Thor/Deadpool lately and it feels like a bootleg MastaCJ team but it works. Thormammu is a ridiculous combo in itself and Deadpool in back keeps everything nuts. My point and anchor are also interchangeable without losing synergy.

I’m running deadpool(quick work) /Dante(jam)/magneto(disruptah) and having trouble.

What should I be doing in neutral game. I have trouble getting in.

Camp back using Dante jam session to keep your opponent walled out. Getting in isn’t necessarily what Deadpool needs to do, especially when he has a great zoning assist to use, such as jam session. Jump up and do falling j.QCF+M at the apex of your jump. Call jam session and chuck some grenades. Every once in a while, call your disruptor assist and dash in using it as cover and try to land a hit and go for a big damage combo. Even though Deadpool isn’t quite the best at getting that hit you need, when he does get the hit, his more advanced combos make it hurt like a bitch.
I mean worst case, call disruptor to keep them in blockstun and use guns to teleport. I wouldn’t recommend this, as I honestly feel teleports should be used moreso in combos than as an approach option. But I’d recommend refraining from using guns to teleport unless you REALLY are having trouble getting in.

If Deadpool is to be put in second and can only have 1 anchor assist would you choose? The way I see it, Deadpool would need to rush in a bit but cautiously to pick up the pace that your Point couldn’t do. I prefer a beam assist since it can be used for a variety of situations, but the downside is it comes with a decent anchor(Doom/ IM). I’d put Akuma/Tatsu in their as well, but my confidence in Akuma is lacking, his health just isn’t doing it enough for me. If it helps, I’m putting Spencer upfront.

Just curious, have you guys ever discussed the THC of Bionic arm and HHT? This’ll allow at least 3 or 2 mixups from spencer that can really be beneficial.

obviously doom is better than ironman BUT i do use ironman as anchor alot and trust me it works wonders. its not as brainless as doom but he can do some serious damage. his beam is better IMO. his jump loop can kill u (mmhs x5) or his flight H dash loop. he’s great with xf3 and even when its finished its fine. unlike strider for example, once xf runs out its pretty much bleh…

about spencer: no idea.

[AychWani]

Speaking of which … i have been running Deadpool/Dante/ (various anchors here)
but am not sure who’d really work well for both characters

i dont want to use dorm/strange/IM cuz they’re on my other team -_- and im trying to avoid doom n akuma … too overused

am pretty comfortable with taskmaster but he has no mixup potential and not as effective as an achor.

am thinking seriously about AMATERASU or HAWKEYE or MAGNETO. do you think it can work with these two up front???

[Elnerd]

hey people just getting back into marvel after a long stint on SF and wanting to run a new team

anybody got any ideas if Firebrand/Dpool/Ammy would be a decent setup? or do FBrand/DPool have no synergy? havent been in the lab yet but i just wanted some ideas prior to my team, i want to make something different work?
