Here you see some oppertunities with Marduk:

Theory fighter newbie here:
Right now Iāve been having fun teaming Marduk with Juri on point.
I follow up Juriās MK pinwheel a couple ways.
On hit I tag in Marduk and do J. MP, MP, MP > HP Gator Slam.
On block I like to run in and catch my opponent sleeping on down back with Mardukās command grab. This is obviously only a one or two trick pony but it usually works the first couple times and makes my opponent want to jump or start pushing buttons. Sometimes iāve gotten extra mileage out of this by conditioning my opponent to jump on tag and catching them with a pre-emptive gator slam.
You can tag in Marduk off of Juriās qcf+HK or qcb+MK in the corner and land his J.HK. I usually use this to troll with Pandora > tag > super, but sometimes Iāll just follow up with MP / cr.MP > HP Gator slam. Not sure what the optimal damage follow up to Mardukās J. HK would be. I might try to get back into the lab or mess with some of the combinations in this thread.
EDIT: Just noticed zarrecās post. Iāll give those a whirl. Thanks buddy.
I team up Marduk with 'Gief and so far I have this combo on corner:
'Gief: Jump Body Slam, cr.LP x3, Cross Rush with kicks, -> tag-> (all with Marduk crouching) LP, LP, MP, HP -> tag cancel -> ('Gief) st.LK, cr.LP, st.MP, Quick Lariat -> tag cancel to Marduk and loop.
On actual battle this loop can reach 20 hit or so, depending on how many low punches I land with Gief, and in practice mode this loop can go on infinite, but Iām looking for a way to close it, like an EX or something because none of this chars can chain a Super Art this way.
Iāll try to hang up a video of this combo asap.
Edit: After your partner made a cross rush and tags to Marduk, he can cr.LP (x2) and chain it with a Cross Super Art.
I got a couple of Hugo combos out hereā¦ for people who use him at least.

Ridiculous damage, I know. My Yoshimitsu tag combos donāt even come close to these
Just found out you can combo into Mardukās super off of Kumaās ground bounce. The timing is a little tight if you do it in a combo. Like f+lp, mp, hp, qcf+hp, qcf+hp XXPandoraXX super. but there is just enough time for the super to finish and it nets 626 damage if you use the +20% dmg super boost gem and the 30% dmg pandora activate gem.
Can you do this off of any other characters?
pretty dead around here, but I found a couple of other characters you can do this off of. Kingās ground bounces and Lawās qcf+p if you cross cancel on the first hit you get a free Mardook super.
Does anyone know of any safe ways to tag Marduk out? I feel like he can be punished off any blocked switch cancel attempt.
