I can assure you mystic ray rapes with taskmaster (or anyone basically). When I played local causals last week, I didn’t even know how to use shuma yet and I was winning more just cause of the assist. Also Shuma has a great DHC in the corner with Taskmaster. I finally switched out Storm for a character I like (hmr does more than hailstorm XD).
Trying Mags/Task/Phx.
I’m thinking about Magneto (EMD) Arthur (Daggers) Task (Vertical), I was running guys like Haggar/Tron/Hulk as the anchor earlier but vert arrows assist should also helps stop rushdown and teleporting madness. As an aside, I think Tasky’s Hori Arrows assist could help Magneto out quite a bit in the post-Sent nerf era. Then again, you could just run Sent as a meter user and have Tasky anchor.
Yeah but you´ll have the handicap of not using DA CHAOS DIMENSION!! with Shuma which is one of his strenghts really. Go for Wesker if you want a good battery character for Phoenix.
I was actually thinking of Super-Skrull to replace Shuma. He is much like Tasky in that he has low meter, high damage combos.
Hey everyone. I’m using Haggar (lariat) chris (gun fire) Taskmaster (??)
I’m not sure which assist is best here for taskmaster to use. I’m also wondering if there’s any snap back setups for taskmaster. He’s easily my weakest character, but I feel he’s prolly the nastiest one here once I get him down.
I actually run the clock quite well with this team depending on the situation I’ll tag in whoever is appropriate, guard master, lariat/gunfire assist is something else
Now I’m trying task/ammy/phx.
RIght now i’m running Wesker (Samurai Edge) Task (hori-vert) and dormmamu (black hole)… So far wesker can help get some high low going… and dorm can lockdown to get that unblockable going plus… wesker wid task assist is hard to get in on
Current Team
Taskmaster(H Arrow)
Arthur(Fire Bottle)
Shuma-Gorath(Mystic Ray)
out of all the other characters i’ve tried to pair alongside arthur/shuma
i seem to do the best with tasky on point
Yep. I settled on Aim Master vertical. With the order switching to Haggar Taskmaster and Chris.
Legion Arrows helps on dhc to protect Haggar if I buffed on a lariat.
Aim Vertical to stuff super jumps, gunfire for getting in, and haggar can go to work.
True, i personally think Shuma is one of the weakest characters in the game. but the strange thing is he just may be one of the best counters for phoenix.
Also yeah Mystic Stare is beyond over-rated. I can block/punish that thing like there’s no tomorrow. And on top of that it does poor damage… It just seems like the developers ruin his true potential by adding unneeded taunts and bad recovery to most of his moves…and why? Is he some sort of joke character? Do they think he’s cool because of tentacles therefor he must taunt? His only means of mobility seems like mystic smash since his air dash is slow with no range to it…but his mystic smash which has low priority and can be punished easily so its only good for combos and he really needs a teleport to get around, which obviously he can do since he jumps in a portal for Chaos Dimension and his Back dash…while characters like Wesker seem to teleport at the push of a button.
Really i think his only justification for a dlc was his potential since his popularity as a character in the marvel universe is pretty low… I would of loved to seen Ghost Rider, Dr.Strange, Moon Knight. Dr.Octopus, Venom Gargon, or Scorpion over him or any other instantly recognizable marvel character.
I’m currently running task(up arrows)deadpool(katanarama)mags(disruptah).
I like to start zoning with task, as parabolic arrows coupled with mags assist can do a good job of keeping people away, after doing this for a bit I try and start some rushdown/combos with him, using mags to cover. Deadpool keepaway becomes a complete bitch with these two assists to help cover multiple options, and mags is there at the end. It all DHCs pretty nicely too.
Katanarama does help with some combo extension, but I can’t help but feel I’m wasting an assist slot with it since my execution currently is ass (relative noob to using a stick). I’m considering swapping deapool out for someone like hulk, as to be honest I’m currently getting my backside handed to me by a lot of rushdown teams. Zero and wolverine in particular give me a lot of grief. The other main weakness with this team is that I rather struggle for mixups/unblockables.
I’m using two different teams at the moment. Wesker/Task/Dante and She-Hulk/Doom/Dante. Thinking about taking the three guys I’m best with from those two teams and running Taskmaster/Doom/Wesker.
It seems like a team that should work. Figure I’ll run H-Arrows and OTG for Task/Wesker assists, but what about Doom? I’ll already have a quasi-beam assist with Taskmaster’s arrows. Should I go ahead and give the Molecular Shield assist a try? I hear it’s pretty good for corner pressure and litters the screen for a decent amount of time.
derp does anyone have a full screen high damage otg lv1 super besides storm ;_; (and that still does damage in the corner so no magnetic shockwave)
Realized how much I was losing using Shuma when I played a few matches with Storm again and went back to fullscreen DHCs.
Nevermind. I’m gonna try Tasky’s parabolic. Seems to work good with Chris on point to FORCE chip damage. Decisions decisions?
As much as I love Haggar he doesn’t do well as anchor. He’s got no use for meter and even though he kills for free on xf3 you want him on point with assists to get in.
hey can anyone give me their opinion on my team atm? i can decide between task,wesk,sent or task,wesk,dorm
im just not sure if sent’s assist is worth it to have on the team. my defence is ass so whenever i run into sent’s bad matchups it gets frustrating. and dorm as a character seems to have so much more potential and his dark hole assist seems to work well, just need to get familiar with the spacing and timing of calling it. or should i use the pillar assist with dorm?
thanks in advance for any feedback
Team Crazy Eyes
I use storm (whirlwind), Wesker (samurai edge) and Taskmaster (horizontal arrows). This team is great for dhc cuz anyone can dhc into anyone. Plus I can use the dhc damage reset trick with wesker of taskmaster as long as storm is alive. Wesker is great for unblockable setups with his gun since storm has a great j.m as an instant overhead. Taskmaster is good cuz he gives my another projectile option n he’s a great anchor imo. Please rate my team.
i run super skrul haggar and taskmaster…haggar and skrull dhc into everything and anything they do can dhc into taskmaster…my task sucks right now becuase im really bad with his mix ups but if i get one combo in i usually take a little more then half health with him…
Dark Whole is probably Dormmamu’s most accessible assist. I think Purification takes to long to come out and you can’t really use it. It sends the opponent high up in there air and you have a hard time getting anything off that. Liberation would require you to charge up Dark or Light spells for it be good. It could be useful if you actually want to charge his powers then switch him out, but I see that being a hassle.
I still can’t decide on a 3rd. I’m using Taskamaster and Dormammu now. I’ve been trying out every character until I find one that I like. I can use Setinel pretty well. I’m thinking Ammy would work great with Cold Star. It could be useful to lock down characters. I’m just looking for a character with a good assist that can cover Taskmaster and Dormmamu and hopefully I feel comfortable with. I’m between Dante, Akuma, Amterasu, Sentinel, or Chris.
