I would use Doom missiles with that team, Doom helps Deadpool alot, especially when he is second, because then people are afraid of the TAC combos so you can go for more TAC resets, or just go for the TAC combos to kill any character, plus ammy/doom is a great pairing if deadpool dies.
I need a team that can get over a million with point Deadpool. I know it’s possible with Spencer or Vergil second, but are there more options than that?
Deadpool/?/Ammy or Deadpool/?/Sentinel
Look for the Deadpool capture state glitch combo by zeohawk, he can get over a million with that combo.
Or just do what I do and play Deadpool point, then TAC to Doom and infinite them to death. Which quite honestly is much easier to do.
Also possible to get over 1 mil with Deadpool/Doom missiles/Strider vajra, but it spends a lot of resources.
However, deadpool isn’t a “kill off of one touch” character. Deadpool is made to be a mixup and zoning character. You can get a good 900k off of one touch with him on a Deadpool/Doom team, but your main focus with Deadpool isn’t “touch this guy and finish him in only one combo.”
Honestly, if they’re hit with guns and grenades before either side gets in, which is decently likely, his combos might as well be touches of death.
Also, I has question! I’ve been labbing Task/Deadpool/Dorm, and I still love it, yet I’ve been thinking of doing some gimmicky shit that would involve changing my order to Task/Dorm/Deadpool. Has anyone used Dorm/Pool in that order, and how does Deadpool anchor function differently than Deadpool with assists? (and honestly, Dark Hole isn’t crazy on neutral, so what I’m asking is what extra solopool stuff do you get when running that Derp factor?)
Any tips on any of the team members in that order would be appreciated (by the by, my gimmicky stuff is corner carry to TAC, quick work and two dark matters, dark hole, and ideally kill with stalking flare, then unblockable the next guy, still figuring it out)
Personally, I’ve never been a fan of anchor 'pool, but I have some stuff with him.
-You can get into his XF3 H. Quick Work infinite from any touch. There’s always a way to convert.
-His guns to teleport are stupidly harder to punish, and when using H guns to teleport as an incoming mixup, the timing for the opponent to block becomes a lot tighter.
That’s about all Wade gains as an advantage. The main problem with anchor Deadpool is that he has no dependable way to reset his teleports, and without them he gets walled out fairly easily if he doesn’t have an assist to help him zone. I’d recommend you steer away from deadpool anchor if possible, but hey, that’s just me.
nova assists deadpool very wel!! lots of setups!!
Okay, then I’m not missing anything. If that’s the case, I agree with you, not my favorite spot. But, Dorm second will do pretty well on this team, so I might just try to DHC Deadpool in with stalking flare or chaotic flame as soon as I can.
Alternatively, I could try Deadpool/Dorm/Task, still TAC, tag in Task and get unblockables and my team’s preferred order, Task first Dorm last…I gotta do some testing.
I think the problem isn’t that Dorm/Deadpool or Deadpool/Dorm (the much better order IMO) is bad… It’s just not particularly exceptional. Sure it works but so do many combinations in the game.
Can Dorm abuse a low assist? Not really from my knowledge
Can Dorm abuse an otg assist? He doesn’t need it
Can Deadpool abuse Dark Hole? Yeah, but other assists lockdown alot better for his purposes
Can Dorm be a good anchor? An amazing one if the opponent has no xfc and you can build space; however, this only seems to be viable if the first two charachters can realllly use Dark Hole (not many people)
Can Deadpool be a good anchor? Yes (although he has flaws outlined by others) but he suffers from the same problem… His assist doesn’t justify putting him last. He isn’t good enough to just over look this glaring weakness (see Pheonix, early Wesker, Vergil)
All of this is ofcourse IMHO, and I hope you play and find some cool tech brov.
Also…
Been playing Deadpool for a little bit and I have been inquiring in learning a real team for him. From theory/what I see Pool/Doom/Strider is pretty much the “best” Deadpool team. While I just might end up just learning this team, I was curios if anyone has any unique ideas I should try? Perhaps some hidden or not so hidden gems that work well with Deadpool in alot of ways. Unorthodoxness breeds sucess. Please share lls.
Finally, on the same subject, what do people think his best 5 or so assist are? He seems to love lockdown assists, beams, and Vajra… Kinda boring IMO so hopefully someone could shed some light lol.
I feel the two best point pool teams are Deadpool/Doom/Strider and Deadpool/Doom/Ammy.
Deadpool/Doom/Dante comes close though for a zoning team.
I think his best assists are Doom Beam, Missiles, Vajra, Jam, Cold Star
Any projectile helps him really with various things. Task, Arthur, Strange, Hawkeye, Spit Fire (Log trap to a lesser extent)
Secretly good? Hawkeyes Ragtime shot (kamikaze) assist is pretty good for controlling space as I use it. Task Vertical arrows too for closer screen coverage. Trish’s Peekaboo assist is probably really good too. Hulk’s Air Gamma charge assist works great as a get off and let’s you zone and he can convert off it (although really hard as you have to kind of expect it to hit).
Deadpool/Dante/Strider > Deadpool/Doom/Dante
I’m not actually looking for any tips for another team, but rather, sgiving a shoutout to an amazing team combination. Deadpool/Dorm/Strider. Holy crap. Deadpool off a throw combo can extend with Dormammu assist into a decent Cuttin Time combo, then DHC to stalking flare, charge up 3 red while calling strider, knockdown, kaboom, dark hole, chaotic flame. Dormy can extend with Deadpool’s quickwork after any TAC. Deadpool can convert off strider, and has resets with Dark Hole. Strider is Strider, who I actually don’t play, but I plan to. And can DHC to Dorm really safely in case of snapbacks.
And, odd Dorm thing I kinda really really like with quickwork, on landing a tridash j.H, instead of going into a combo, jump, call deadpool and boxdash with j.H, they’re stunned from the attack and reset standing, so it seems, unblockables. On hit or block, a crossup or neutral trijump H converts, or sets up an additional mixup, even the simplest combo after the hit conversions seems to get at least 706k, more if you use, well, anything other than st.M launch air series purification chaotic flame.
I’m in love.
Any tech would be appreciated, but I’m finding a ton already on day 1 of labbing.
I don’t intend to play Dante, and I know it could be a smidge more optimal with him, but honestly, the damage and neutral on this team is good enough to run with.
Now I just need to learn Strider. lol.
So I’ve been trying to get my team of Deadpool (a), Dante (a) and Amaterasu (b) off the ground but I feel like I’m stuck in some aspects. I’ve definitely upped my game with having some new combos and tech for Deadpool (thanks to both Zeohawk and Wedge. Both of ya’ll are some of the best Deadpool players I’ve ever seen!) and Deadpool’s slowly becoming the best character on my team but I feel like I’m still lacking a bit. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas for mix-ups, combo extensions, resets, etc. that’d go with either DP and Dante or DP and Amaterasu. I’m open to any and all ideas.

Scratch that a bit. I love me some Dante but I fell like it’s not really workin’ with ma game-plan with Deadpool. I’ve decided to go another route with my team and go with dat Doom/Ammy shell backing up Deadpool. My team now is DP (a), Doom (b) and Ammy (b). I’d still love to learn up on any tips for combo ext., mix-ups, etc with either DP/Doom or DP/Ammy. Hope to here from ya soon fellow mercs!
Sorry, but DP/Doom and DP/Ammy aren’t really things I know too well, so I can’t help ya. Check out zeohawk, though, he totally uses Deadpool/Ammy, and I believe Wedge uses Deadpool/Doom, or used him, anyway, and they’re on the youtubes, but it seems you’ve seen the both, judging from your previous posts.
Also, reason I posted. I was trying to figure out who to use for that Zeohawk Deadpool Community video, and I came across Deadpool/Vergil/Shuma, and holy crap, if I played Shuma, I’d be all over that team. Vergil gets two ways to convert from helm breaker, and can reset the groundbounce by using katanarama assist within lunar phase, and air coverage/zoning with the beam. Deadpool gets even more synergy than Vergil. You can katanarama into rapid slash, teleport fullscreen and bola in really heavy hitstun deterioration, it’s good extension and saves the wallbounce. Also, fM and mystic ray, great on block, converts into full combos on hit, and can extend in very late hitstun, and fM mystic ray fM works at any hitstun. And that’s not even considering how good mystic ray is for deadpool zoning and space control. I’d like to see someone give this a try, but I suck a bit too much with both Vergil and Shuma for it to be me.
I’ll say this… You got me interested in playing Shuma lol So far he’s been pretty fun. Always refreshing to learn a new character. Thanks Duke! I’ma try out DP-α/Shuma-α/Ammy-β and see what happens lol
lol I just can’t make ma mind up on picking a middle man for ma team. Hey Duke how’s the synergy between DP & Dormammu? Saw a few of your vids and it looks like he’s got some decent synergy with 'im. That and I’ve been looking for a motive to try Dorm again haha
Dp/Dorm, I dunno. I use them together mostly because Dorm’s one of my favorites. Dorm second is great for pretty much everyone, because easy TAC combos and that ridiculous Chaotic Flame DHC, but Dark Hole has fewer uses than I’d like for Deadpool, he’s got that one reset I made a vid for and a slightly safer fM on block. Probably more, but I’ve been lax with labbing.
Then again, Dorm/Shuma beam sounds awesome, so I guess give it a try, see how you like it.
lol Thanks dude. Eh I guess I’ve been labbing it up a bunch to celebrate finals being done. Like I said I’ve just been trying to find a middle man for my team of DP/???/Ammy. So far the options I’m looking at are Doom, Dormammu (dat DHC synergy), Dante, Shuma and/or Vergil. Eh I’ll figure something eventually lol Mostly liking Doom and Dorm though for right now so who knows haha
Play Doom.
You get the follow my lead with Doom/Ammy.
Ridiculous incoming mixups.
Plus you can do this and replace Sentinel Drones with Ammy Cold Star:
You get UNSCALED damage off of this glitch with drones or cold star.
Holy shit… That’s wicked awesome dude. I’ma go and try that out in the lab.
