Trying to see if I can blend Taskmaster (point) on a team with Frank (2nd).
I want to get some combos going where I can easily bring Frank in and get him to Level 4, so far my best with Taskmaster is getting him to level 2 via an air-crossover.
Have any of you folks been able to find any combos to Frank level 4 in the labs? Admittedly I am at beginner level with this game.
I’ve been running that team and I usually can get Frank up to lvl 3 consistently. Its just the basic BnB that I used in Vanilla but now I just TAC to Frank.

Hope you you can read/understand my notation. It always gets him to lvl 3 and that is usually where I stop with Frank because he is a monster in lvl 3.
Yep your notation makes sense gonna go try it out in the labs. Thanks!
have you made frank drink beforehand?
also, where’s Home Lee?
I’m not at home so I can’t test this, but perhaps you can do a Task combo into super, dhc to Trish Round Harvest, then Raw Tag in Frank, super jump and snap a picture. This will put Frank first, Task second and Trish 3rd
I don’t make Frank drink. I start Taskmaster on point, Frank 2nd and Doom anchor. Still trying the different Doom assists to see what works best with this team.
UHm u can have frank point, first hit combo get 2 bars thc task arrows stay out long enough for u to get a pic = lvl4
Combo video I made for Ammy, Spencer, and Task. Not all that much Task stuff since it’s focused around the team and he’s my anchor, so usually I don’t have assist for him and just do basic stuff, but there’s enough cool specialized stuff that it should still be interesting.

Stark sigh that team is so beautiful… SO MUCH synergy
I’m have a new team Iron fist/ Task/ Chris
Fist and Task work real also fist and Chris, i just put chris in so i’m going to see how well Chris an Task work together synergy wise…
I play Iron Fist, Ammy, Task, but Stark that video is seriously making me consider switching to Ammy on point. I wonder if Rising Fang works as well as Armor Piercer?
Does this combo still work?
Sorta! You have to do it differently. :d:
:h: 
:h: delay :s: sj instant j. j.:f::h:, sure, that part’s the same. But then, you do slight delay :h:, slight delay :qcf:. After that you can do either :h: :h: or just :h: depending on the height you caught the opponent at, into the standard ender. In the combo video I posted just a few posts up, I go for this combo at 1:00 (showing how it now works in the corner as well) and at 2:24.
Thats to much to be a standard BnB >.>
RF is better to me than AP. I think u get a hard knock down with Spencer AP mid screen which is hard to follow up with some characters. But with RF u get a wallbounce even mid screen.
Only way to not get the wallbounce is to hella chase them with a move that moves forward extremely quickly, or get between them and the wall so they can’t get to it. I use midscreen wallbounces for all kinds of things and what you have just said is completely not true.
Oh >.> So u do get a wall bounce (spencer) even mid screen my bad then
my bad yea u do lol
Btw Stark do u have match vids???
if you’re playing taskmaster you really should be able to follow a wallbounce from anywhere up anyhow, just wavedash charge
realtalk it’s worth doing stark’s bnb +whatever extension you want because it does literally 100k more than doing baby mighty swing combos and builds much more bar. the difficulty of it isn’t even close to being as hard as other real combos. if you have any method of extending taskmaster’s combos you start doing some real manly damage, especially with DHCs.
my general bnb for a character kill is the one i posted earlier except with a vergil DHC into 1.05(off st.m aa)-1.1mil damage for 2 bars, both of which are gained during the combo- before the dhc it’s already rocking 850-880k depending on how many arrows hit.
edit: for some real content, something i’ve discovered. for the combo, if you end the air series with j.mms instead of j.mhs you can hit the swing cancel down arrow+assist with a shield charge->shock sting followup instead of going directly into shock sting. it seems like j.h is really really bad for taskmaster’s combos scaling wise since i know it reduces his damage by a severe amount and (apparently!) hitstun scaling too.
i wonder if it will end up being more efficient to find a combo that forgoes most of the j.hs altogether.
O.o Im so out of it these days, I made the statement about Stark combo being to hard when i am using it everytime sigh, Stark apologies for the misunderstanding ok…
Well hey. Neither of my assists are actually valid for swing cancel pickups, so I do j.H because it adds damage and I lose nothing from it.
So what are the go to Solo BnB’s for tasky now? I played him quite a bit in vanilla, and recently switched doom for him as my anchor on my main team. Most of the super juicy combos from vanilla seem to be awol with hitstun deterioration, so I’ve just been using old week 1 style web swing combos. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus yet on his best solo combos for ultimate so i thought i would pose the question.
