For combo 1 im having a hard time hitting the st.m after j.s, is there any tips?

Dr.Grammar · February 28, 2011, 2:21am

The timing is really tight. I prefer to go straight to Charging Star after j.S.

UltimaShadow · February 28, 2011, 6:42am

Trag uploaded some nice Taskmaster combos today. Basically just some BnBs and throw setups.

Dbag · February 28, 2011, 8:27am

I regret not reserving a few posts, but if I need to I can remake, or someone else can take what I’ve posted and make it a better format.

Spooty_Whiteboy · February 28, 2011, 10:43am

People keep asking about BnBs. Here’s the one I suggest using:

trag · February 28, 2011, 2:02pm

Here’s the Taskmaster batch. I included the original vid I made just to be complete. I originally only had 5 videos but sWhiteboy (aka Spooty) msged me about the relaunch. I went to the lab and found another variation off a basic jump. I capped 3 videos - one with Spooty’s relaunch, one with my new variation, and one with both!

I have a feeling he may be able to do 4 or 5 loops. I’ll test it out!

trag · February 28, 2011, 4:04pm

After some quick tests, I was able to loop 4 or 5 of the sequence in question. I don’t think it’s worth doing past 3 or 4 reps because the damage doesn’t justify potentially missing the super finish. I’ll cap it tonight.

b+H-S, sj.S, air QCF+H(hold), land, b+H-S, sj.S, air QCF+H(hold), land…

Was up to about 750 damage after 4 reps I think… maybe even just 3.

Dbag · February 28, 2011, 10:10pm

I’ll update the first post when I’m back from doing stuff today. Awesome stuff Trag, and I’ll post your bnb vid/combo as well Spooty.

PinkPwnageFrenzy · February 28, 2011, 10:30pm

Thanks for making the thread, props. I know what I’m going to be practicing for awhile. Also thanks to the current contributors, without which we wouldn’t have a thread for in the first place.

Spooty_Whiteboy · February 28, 2011, 10:43pm

Yeah, at around 4 relaunches the damage really starts to sink. I have performed 6 loops, but the opponent recovers before I can sj.S them back down.

Phreakazoid · February 28, 2011, 11:48pm

Another loop, corner only. I showed it to Kurasa over the weekend. It’s pretty damn hard, but hits for 780k 1 meter.

cr.A, cr.B, cr.C, b.C, qcf+A (charge) xx s.A, b.C, qcf+A (charge) xx s.A, b.C, s.S (delay a tad), sj, j.b, j.b, j.6C, j.b, j.C, j.S, low air qcf+H, Air MH Legion Arrow.

edit:
Tested on Cap only for now.

Dbag · March 1, 2011, 12:19am

Thanks for the combo Phreak, I added it to your section.

I had a question for the more execution savvy, but would this combo work?

(Enemy guarding[no push]) :dp::h: xx :h: xx xx :h: xx :h: xx , :qcf::h:, OTG:qcf::h:(charge), :h:, :s:, SJC., j., j., j.:f::h:, j., j.:h:, j.:s:, j.:qcf::h:(charge) xx :qcf::h:

I’ll give it a some time in a bit to see if I can get it, but I’ve been having a hard time doing his late j.:qcf::h:(charge), :h:. OTG relaunch. Lucky for me I run with deadpool, so I bet with him in the team I can get it to go like:

(Enemy guarding[no push]) :dp::h: xx :h: xx xx :h: xx :h: xx , :qcf::h:, Partner :a1:/:a2:, st.:h:, :h:, :s:, SJC., j., j., j.:f::h:, j., j.:h:, j.:s:, j.:qcf::h:(charge) xx :qcf::h:

Let me know what you think / find out. So far I only have two combos posted that come out after an unblockable headbutt, and I bet we can find a bunch more.

CobraVerde · March 2, 2011, 12:59am

Great thread!!! Taskmaster is so killer!! :woot:

strider_hiryu973 · March 3, 2011, 2:17pm

Dedemaru · March 5, 2011, 3:55am

I’m new to this game and I have interest in Taskmaster. Can someone list for me the absolute easiest bnbs Tony has? I’d like to start by memorizing that and then progress from there.

Spooty_Whiteboy · March 5, 2011, 4:33am

My suggestion would be:

c.L, c.M, c.H, b+H, S, sj.M, sj.H, f+H, sj.M, sj.H, sj.S

KMRiku · March 6, 2011, 1:04am

Taskmaster/X-23/Morrigan 1.3 million combo (3 meters):

cr.L, cr.M, cr.H, f.H, j.M, j.M, f.H, j.M, j.M, j.S, b+H, S, j.M, j.M, j.H, f.H, j.M, j.M, j.S, X-23 B assist, b+H, qcf+L (3 arrows), qcf+LM, dp+2A (X-23 X-Weapon hyper), :d::d:A (Morrigan Astral Vision), st.M, S, j.M, j.H, dp+M, qcb+S, j.M, j.H, dp+M

*Used Taskmaster old Bnb beucase I didn’t train the new ones yet
*After the X-Weapon hyper, wait the opponent fall a little.
*if you fall a little far from the coner after the j.S, sometimes jump, qcf+LH, X-Weapon works.
*without Morrigan?s Astral Vision, it does ~900k damage
*You can use any character that has a hyper that doesn’t hit (like Ammy slow, Dante Devil Trigger, Phoenix Healing Field, etc) instead of Morrigan, but I don’t know if the damage will be the same or similar. Even counter hypers works if KFC’ed (Taskmaster Aegis Counter for example)

X-23/Taskmaster 1.4 million combo (2 meter, X-factor lv.1)

dp+2A (X-Weapon hyper), qcb+2A (Aegis Counter), KFC, f.H, j.M, j.M, f.H, j.M, j.M, j.S, b+H, S, j.M, j.M, j.H, f.H, j.M, j.M, j.S, X-23 B assist, b+H. qcf+L (3 arrows)

*Like the first combo, wait the opponent fall a little after X-Weapon. If you do f.H too soon, use f.H, j.M, f.H instead of using two j.M.
*X-Weapon’s run has full invincibility, it means it will pass through any projectile special or hyper and punish it. This is pretty useful against Sentinel if he tries beam spam or full screan hyper for chip and then you can DHC X-Weapon into Aegis Counter KFC will kill him.
*If you have an assist that can make X-23 links X-Weapon after her Neck Slicer, you can also use this setup. However, you don’t need a assist against Sentinel to combo Neck Slicer into X-Weapon.

Alexander · March 6, 2011, 2:28am

What are some good reset options? The one I’ve been trying is after launching, Spider Swing, M, M, H, let 'em fall, and try to go for it, or a grab. Any advice?

KMRiku · March 6, 2011, 2:40am

Another thing…if you do the second setup together with the fisrt finhing with Morrigan missile super…you get a combo of 2.441.100 using 5 meter and X-factor lv.1 LOL
