=)) Glad to know I make you feel that way. HONESTLY, I prefer Taskmaster with this team unless you WANT to run it like Combofiend with DHC into Spencer.
Yea i gonna dhc into spencer. I just got arcade stick. It feels like I learning everything all over again. So now taking off frank and adding taskmaster. Didn’t feel right with frank. Who makes a better anchor taskmaster or spencer?
I think Task personally. I actually play my team by switching Task and Spencer when Nova dies so Task is in the back. Worst case scenario, I get bodied and Spencer is my last resort
I like taskmaster as my anchor. Now to watch some of your vids for solo and team combos. In future minds I ask you for notation
Actually I think Spencer is a more capable Anchor than Taskmaster because he has what I like to call “Dynamic” ways of opening you up. Taskmaster would only be decent at Sniping Assists while in X-Factor, but that’s a crapshoot honestly. A good player is gonna stay away from Taskmaster and he doesn’t have the options to chase them down. Spencer can overhead, command throw, punish even remotely bad movement or badly spaced projectiles/movement with Bionic Arm. In XF3 his basic damage is beyond silly. We know this, though lol.
Not trying to dissuade you but let’s look at the the team from different angles
Nova /Spencer/ Taskmaster + and -
- Big Damage
- One Hit can kill on certain points on the screen
- Nova and Spencer have the benefit of Taskmaster of approach
- Good DHC options on hit
- Nova/ Spencer great combination for combo extension
- Taskmaster is a lackluster anchor
- DHC options on block are relatively unsafe/ bad chip
- Can’t combo fully in certain scenarios
- If Taskmaster is on point last without XF, he lacks some combo extension/ no assists helping to cover him.
Nova/Taskmaster/ Spencer + and -
- One touch kills
- Big Damage
- Nova gets Taskmaster for approaching
- Good dhc options on hit AND block
- Nova/ Spencer combination
- Taskmaster gains at least Spencer for combo extension/ assist cover/ mixup
- Can combo almost anywhere on screen into great damage.
- XF Spencer has been done before. Might be easy to see through
- Spencer is tough without meter
- Taskmaster on Point sometimes is meh, depending on matchups. Even with Spencer Assist.
Very good breakdowns of the team orders. But on my skill level I know little about nova and spencer plus I’m just started using taskmaster yesterday. Right now I’m using taskmaster mainly to approach with nova and spencer. When I’m better with my team i will which the order to nova task spencer. Ideally I would like to play the team in any order. Again. I really like the breakdown. I’m still rookie at game
Yeah honestly, learn the team in any order. You can basically DHC from any of the 6 team variations. I PERSONALLY prefer NTS, STN, and TSN but when push comes to shove, I can use em in any position. I played anchor Spencer all of Vanilla and occasionally in Ultimate and I love anchor Task. As much as the damage may not be as great as Spencer, I make it work. My anchor Nova is the weakest so there are times when I play with him in the back just to learn it anything was to go wrong.
NTS I’m thinking is the way to go now. Dougiie keep up the good work with them videos
So I’m working on making a list and/or video of Grav Pulse L/M confirms. These are really useful but under-utilized moves so I wanna encourage people to use them more often.
(the following all require 20%+ red life)
Confirming off of Grav Pulse L on a grounded opponent is tough without meter or XF, since it pushes them back and the recovery lasts longer than the stagger. Best bet is to cancel into Speed Tackle, angle down, s.M etc.
XF cancel, dash forward M, etc. can easily get you a kill even in level 1 and build a ton of meter.
The most basic anti-air is just Grav Pulse L/M, dash up s.M, H, S or Grav Pulse L/M dash c.M, S. Kinda specific according to spacing and which pulse you use, but for anti-air M is just better overall.
The swaggiest thing I’ve come up with is this:
air-to-air j.M, M, Call Ammy, H xx Grav Pulse M, land, Centurion Rush M, dash S, super jump, air H xx Human Rocket Punch L, H xx super. I’d love to see Moons use this one, haha.
Anyway please post what you got. Thanks.

Just a little preview of the kinds of things I want to do for the next video. I’m just getting stupid with it lmaooo.
Nice vid. Thats your new team. dougiie in corner is it possible to do nova and spencer tag combo off a throw using the fly/unfly combo. I think it’s possible just cant get it to work

Naw it’s not my new team…the new video is going to be Nova with multiple combinations of teams. The concept in this one is to see how I can get damage with Nova to break 900k with the first super. And yes it is possible. In the corner (im assuming you’re talking about air throw) it’s possible to do the fly unfly but I prefer to just do the rocket punch (Nova Strike) variation because the hitstun deterioration is a biatch. Once you get the Spencer grapple into crumple, it’s elementary once you’re familiar with the follow up. If you don’t know with what I mean,
air grab air dash down, j.H, HS, j.H xx L rocket punch, dash down, H+Spencer assist, S, H rocket punch (TK’d)
Cool. Thanks dude

This may be a dumb question, but I have to ask: what’s my ideal combo extension with drones? After jS knockdown, I call sent before fwd+H and some times they juggle, some times they don’t. Any idea why? Or should I be doing something else entirely ?
I think I’m gonna swap sent in for task on my nova felicia. Btw, screamed from rooftops: BUCKLER NOVA, PEOPLE!!! Lol
Just figured out a pretty good BnB with Nova/Doom(Missiles), 798k for 1 bar, works anywhere on screen. Based on the :h: loop
j.:h:, 
:h::s:, j.:h: (fly) j.:h: (unfly) j.:h: (land) :s:, j.:h: j.:s:, f.:h:+:a2: (Missiles) :s:, (delay)j.:h: (fly)[air dash up]j.:s:, :dp:+:l:xx:dp:+:atk::atk:
The missiles hit after the :h: on the third launch, keeping them locked for you to bring them back down with a second j.:s:, the Air Dash Up is not necessary, but stabilises the combo if not in the corner, also good for timing.
Also a simplified version that i’ve been using for a while now, does 750 for one bar.
j.:h:, :h::s:, j.:h: (fly) j.:h: (unfly) j.:h:j.:s:, f.:h:+:a2: (Missiles) :s: j..j:m:j:h:j:s:, :dp:+:l:xx:dp:+:atk::atk:
Shortening the H loop to do the flying screen S after the third H instead of relaunching lets you do a full MMH series on the 2nd launch which makes it super simple to get the missiles to connect right.
I think that it may be a timing issue. if you delay it too long, they don’t get hit by the third while you do Cent. Rush . Too early and they get thrown into the drones and you don’t get a ground bounce.
Press Sentinel as Nova starts to lift his hand off the ground from the S Dive, Mash the H, wait for two drones to hit, Cent Rush.
My solution to this when i was messing with Nova w/ drones in the lab…do f+H + Drones and do L Pulse to keep them juggling
Just because we’re talking about Nova w/ missles

Thanks guys! Yeah I mustve been calling drones a tad late, and it tends to work half the time, and barely miss the other half. Ill try that timing, sottle. Dougiie, that would work, but sometime may not wanna give away that sweet sweet red life, hehe. Sottle! Where u been, brotha? My post a week or 2 back re my nova felicia task(sent now?) I atually called u out directly for your thoughts, as you always deliver on the good nova advice.
I have to say, I lurk in lot of char’s forum, with various degrees of involvement. And you guys here in nova-land are some of the best, fastest, and most helpful on srk. And the sheer volume of sick tech that comes outta here in addition for the passion to help is rivaled only by the dr. Strange cats. (Task and mag guys too deserve some props in this regard). Keep it up.
Such a stark contrast to the felicia boards, where I can’t even post any more cause I’m almost the only one posting lol
