front page is not updated with new combos or whatever, but this post by Windu details his overall best combos for solo play.
You can generally use Vanilla stuff too, mostly because it’s useful for meter gain, but those two combos are generally for damage more than anything, and are very practical.
Sorry for delay in response. Task Akuma Task, huh? Well no doubt Taskmaster can make great use of Taskmaster arrows. Just playin 
I know Vabjorn mostly from my Yahoo Messenger, we chat doom all the time, and when we play on XBL his tri hopping is remarkably fast. But as that doesn’t help you so much, he took 4th in either the last or 2nd to last St Louis stream (stlbarwarz I think is the stream?). It was a recent one, I just dont know if there’s been another one since. I dont know how well he demonstrates the tatsu-doom stuff as I watched a good 2 minutes of this particular archive, but he’s definitely on it. I also know he confirms off the tatsu with a jLMM, and then he goes into some sort of air dash down thing, Im lazier and will just S foot dive. In the corner its a no brainer, but midscreen u gotta be able to hop really quickly.
Still trying to decide if I prefer plasma beam or missiles(inb4 someone recommends rocks), and watching josh wong play plasma I see he does a lot of shield skills+beam call, cancel shield to S. If blocked, beam covers you. If hit, launch!
The question: since it seems for the agreed upon launch bnb to work, you have to let them fall from shield skills as much as possible before S. Since in this case the S is immediate, I was wondering if there’s a decent combo task can do from this situation? I can obv do some air normals swing air normals, but just curious if anyone plays plasma task and has a decent sequence for it. Thanks!
Opps, meant Taskmaster Akuma Doom.
Only thing I can think of is if you have another OTG assist. Then you can do a relaunch combo.
Are there any tricks or things I should be doing to ensure that when I land a combo that the sheild skill, S part of the combo doesn’t cross up and take my opponent out of the corner? That crap is really annoying and I lose some damage because of it.
delay it as long as possible
hmm, im attempting to pick up taskmaster, again.
my team is frank, task, thor
just right now i found something kinda cool… not sure if its been said.
anyways, with task in the corner, i do a simple abc launch (delayed) b~b~c~s and as soon as i land i call thor (spark) and i do H arrows.
it picks up the opponent and i can do whatever after.
i guess its no different than the jumping H arrows to assist, lol.
Lol, yea I looking for something besides that. Guess there really isn’t anything else though.
You don’t need anything else. It works every time. I had the same problem, now I keep em cornered 9/10 times.
Am I the only one that’s messed around at all with a tiger knee up arrow relaunch in the corner? Similar to Spencer upgrapple.
forgive me for not knowing how to properly use the little images of the buttons to make this easier to read
In corner only. L M H shield skills S tiger knee up arrow M H shield skills S super jump forward m m h spidey swing m hs land jump otg arrow air legion L+H (for DHC potential)
It works anywhere in xfactor 3, and you can repeat it twice in the corner in x factor 3. LMH shield skills S tk up arrow shield skills S tk up arrow shield skills s tk legion arrow m+h. Timing is pretty silly for this, though.
Here’s a really, really crappy quality video of it, but this combo gets a modest 720~k solo, and with my teams assist i get 850k+ for one meter

That’s pretty cool! Forgive me if I’m mistaken but if you tiger knee H arrows you’ll shoot the arrows downwards, won’t you? Do you just mean a very quick up arrows after the launcher?
Only problem with this combo is that the normal Taskmaster BnB does the similar damage AND carries corner to corner. Should investigate if this combo could be extended or optimized (perhaps a midscreen variation?), and check the damage values and meter gain, plus how it could be extended with assits.
Sorry. I say tiger knee because you need to jump cancel the launcher, but then do the arrows before you leave the ground since launcher is not special cancelable, so you still have to do a 2369 motion even though you never actually jump. And yeah it’s not better than the current BnB but i’ve been messing around with my particular assists and i can get a mill using this and one dhc, so it’s workable for me, but having a dhc into spencer does 1mil for a lot of charecters :p. I mostly just wanna be diffrent! as for mid screen variations, it only works mid screen if you’re in XF3
I feel like MH Swing cancel has a lot of combo possibilities, especially in the corner, BUT you can’t get anything really damaging since the way air hsd works. Still trying to find ways to expand combos, found nothing significant >.>
^Give it up. Taskmaster shall forever have the same bnb. Deal with it.
Taskmaster is like the hardest character to find new tech with now. Hes just so basic. Its one of the reasons I dont play him as much anymore, because shield skills + assist and jump back m arrows + assist is all you need to know lol.

“New tech.” I think this was like…10 pages ago. I would love to see Taskmaster do better.
yah this is my new bnb, don’t know where else to look for extended combos :\
I think that solo extended combos, that’s all there is to it, unless you learn the solo relaunch -> Sting Master Loop. If anything, you want to get even fancier, you’re probably going to need assists (like wall / ground bounce, capture assist)
There’s also the multiple Legion Arrow supers like AHVB, I haven’t gotten that down yet but I don’t quite think it’s necessary
There’s more you guys haven’t posted yet.
Why must you tease us so?!?!
I’m curious as to what Duck Strong is hiding. >.>
I wonder if it has anything to do with arrow relaunches with two arrows. That works midscreen… kind of practical but I can’t get more then regular bnbs…
EDIT: Oh wait, he said it involves swing.
Same here dude. I’m only getting 960k+ off 2 bars without assists so I’d love to see this rumored combo.
