My personal opinion is that Wesker is the odd one out, rather than Dante. My own team is Taskmaster/Dante/Tron, and it works nonsensically well. I’ve recommended it to a number of people, and most are impressed with the results. The tron assist makes it so that there is really no single character that gives this team a problem, with she hulk being a singular potential exception. Taskmaster is easily capable of zoning and rushdown, and the same for Dante. Rushdown teams now have a large difficulty because of tron, and zoning teams struggle against task and dante rushdown. It’s a very strong composition, something I think can’t be achieved with what you are currently looking for.
honestly you should run mag/task/sent
i was thinking that too…i will have too see tho i usually like that 3 charecter to have an assist with guard stun capabilies or the gtfo so i will consider that team tho
Thanks for your input bro. You are really helping me out here and making me think. :china:
All I am looking for is to be able to handle most if not all situations. I don’t mind being out played and being beat by someone better than me. I just don’t want to be in a situation where there is absolutely nothing that I can do.
I was doing some research and it seems that Dante handles rush down characters decently. His Stand A beats Wolverines dive kick as well as Zeros jump C (i think that’s what it is). He can also attack Ammy without any issues. So maybe that team will work.
I’m just not too big on Tron. She is ok and her assist is excellent, but I feel like she is a terrible anchor. Its like you are only using two characters. Two super powered characters, but still only two characters. I think its because I use Wesker as my anchor and Wesker totally counters her. I end up in a lot of 1 on 1 situations with Tron and it seems hopeless for her against a character like that. Also, the Tron assist silk won’t help if I don’t know how to block and push block correctly. So before I even think about using her, I need to patch that issue up instead if trying to use her as a crutch.
When I was using Task, Dorm, Wesker, I was getting killed by Wolverine mixed with Akuma Tatsu assist and Zero mixed with Sentinel drones assist. I could not punish the assist with that team. Dorms Chaotic Flame Super is ok at punishing assist, but if they are at full screen, the assist is hardly damaged. If I try to punish assist with Taskmasters arrows the assist doesn’t really get hit if the point character is blocking. Arrows do not penetrate. 
A problem I wouldn’t have if it was Million Dollars I was able to use. Thoughts?
Hmm, let me explain my order a little better. Tron is only the “anchor” in that she’s out of the way of Taskmaster/Dante perfect synergy. As soon as one of them dies, I get her into the battle as quickly as possible, either by DHC or cross counter. That way, I have either Taskmaster or Dante as the anchor, both of which are excellent with L3 XFC.
She is well supported by either jam session or taskmaster arrows, covers some of her weakness well.
As for punishing assists, Taskmaster/Dante is one of the best. Any of the forward arrow supers will DHC to Dante and either kill or nearly kill any assist (If the point character is blocking, it kills any assist, even tron; if the point character is NOT blocking, you can XFC teleport jS into full combo and kill both of them, even with only L1 XFC). :rock:
Ah… I see. Thanks for your help. I think I’ll run both teams and which ever one is working best for me I’ll run with.
Whoa hey what. I’m not sure I’d go that far. Ammy is a pretty good character and I hear that like Dante she has amazing moves and they’re all way the hell faster than Dante’s moves. I hear Dante is pretty vulnerable to frame traps and I also hear that’s something Ammy excels at.
I also, I mean, I guess I heard somewhere that Ammy’s a pretty cool character who protects your offense well with cold star (though don’t get read or both characters are dead, although, that’s Marvel for you) and in a pinch has some hilarious get off me techniques that screw people up if they stop paying attention. Like crossover counter > air Okami Shuffle. She also has good synergy with Task as his Horizontal Arrows can bolster her rushdown while his Vertical Arrows can help you get people off her 'cause if you use it when he’s not get vulnerable, people get scared, even though lots of characters have ways to fight push block it still physically pushes them back however briefly and they don’t want to be pushblocked into the arrows, that’s bad news, they might just die. They also probably don’t like it when the arrows force them out of the air and into your mixup, if you’re more offensively oriented. Oh, and she gets DHC trick for you off her throws. That can be relevant. I guess maybe that might come up once or twice every so often.
You know, stuff to consider.
Haha, sounds like you haven’t played many good Dantes, with the way you talk about him. Dante is almost certainly a stronger solo character, generally has stronger DHCs (particularly off of downward arrows finisher for Taskmaster full combo) and doesn’t require meter to be effective.
But yeah, Ammy does have obnoxiously powerful throws.
I mean I’m not knocking Dante, at all. Veteru uses him in his secondary team (along with Task even), and there’s also a very good Dante up here you probably haven’t met. He’s extremely good, definitely one of the top characters in the game. But, so is Amaterasu. And I feel, the actual matchup between Dante and Amaterasu, Amaterasu has a lot of advantages specific to that matchup, since she has tools to fight his zoning and his rushdown, and her moves are just faster than his. Of the higher tier characters Dante is probably not the one you want to be using to fight her. Of course, Taskmaster is the same way, he’s vulnerable to frame traps because of his slow, weak lights and lack of a reliable reversal. Not to say that they don’t have good moves, just, it’s been my experience than Amaterasu is a bad matchup for both of them.
I definitely know how awesome Ammy is. The reason why I eliminated her as an option for this team was because though she works fine with Task, she can not help Wesker otg into his level 3. For some reason, the opponent always falls out of Cold Star. I know they work will in other ways (see Chris G), but just not in a way that I need.
I can’t imagine that not working, since I use Cold Star to extend much less general things than that. I’m not at my setup right now, but I asked a friend who’s learning Wesker to test it, and he confirmed that it’s possible. So I guess, just try to make sure you delay the OTG a bit so that it pops them up into the ‘stream’ and not into the initial hit.
I’ve been running a Taskmaster/Tron/Dante team for a while now. I do, however, feel weak against zoning characters, largely due to Tron. She’s never the anchor, so zoning at the end of the match is never the problem. It’s during the middle of the fight where I feel that zoners really dominate me. I actually tried running Akuma instead of Tron, and while I like his versatility of him being able to fight long range, I strongly believe that Tron is a much better fit to the team. Any thoughts on a possible Tron replacement? Or should I just practice and get better with Taskmaster and Dante. I do have to say, though, that when Tron isn’t getting zoned out, she’s probably my second best character, behind Taskmaster.
^Taskmaster Doom works really well for zoning.You can cover pretty much 3/4 of the screen with beams and arrows.Maybe try out Task/Dante(jam session)/Doom(plasma beam).
I’d say duos that Task works well with are:
Task/Akuma
Task/Doom
Task/Sentinel
Task/She Hulk
Task/Storm
Task/Dante
Huh. I’ve never had extreme difficulty with Ammy. It’s always not easy, but I have more than enough answers. Taskmaster 4H Blows up any normal air approach, so she is unable to approach from the air without forfeiting damage or speed (beads or sword), and his zoning game is more than capable of competing with her. Combined with Tron assist to improve his rushdown, and beating her throw attempts with an early 6H, He’s fine. Then, Dante simply has competent answers for everything, especially with Tron backing up his lacking defense. Just OS the throw (plink backdash) on top of blocking, if you do get hit, tron usually blows Ammy up (She -might- be able to low profile tron?), and if you don’t you get free pressure, usually.
I think she has the disadvantage, personally, but I can see why she has plenty of options, too. Could be anywhere from slightly her advantage to slightly their advantage, really, especially dependant on assists.
Cheech, how can you leave Dante off that list ._.
Jour, I can’t really recommend removing Tron. I think this is one of the strongest teams. What I would say is change your order; Taskmaster/Dante/Tron is better, so you can punish/kill assists with super-snipes, and get the strong DHCs to Dante. Also, you gain a safer DHC, his trigger transformation.
I like ur list but im gonna add mags i think those to are very nast together
u guys have to try out Task/Trish, whenever they are coming in (rush down characters) use peekaboo and low counter, the only option they have is grab. They usually rush in with c.:l: bec peekaboo will hit if they jump, wolve can slash behind u but u know its coming so counter super wesker + dante tele as well, its just to take away their options and make them predictable after getting caught once or twice.
I am always wondering what’s the better Doom assist for Tasky. Beam or Missiles? Still experimenting with a Taskmaster/Dormammu/Doom. Maybe because I have a love for zoning characters.
I’ve decided on my last character. I’m going Taskmaster, Akuma, Wesker. As I said, I will switch between Task and Akuma on point depending on the match up. But the Wolverine maulings have stopped. Taskmaster with that Tatsu assists seem to put Wolverine on blast. If I’m playing someone that has an assist that needs punishing, Akuma will be on point. So far I feel like this team can cover all issues that I may have. But time will tell…
^ I run that team, but with a different order (Wesker/Task/Akuma). It works real well.
I’m not gonna comment on the quality of beam assist since I havent played much with it, but holy shit are missles awesome w/ Tasky! I’d be shocked if beam assist is even close to as good. But it is a good assist in general, so maybe play around with both. But I’ve got lots of experience now with Task and missiles and it’s REALLY fun and REALLY good. Added bonus: your opponents are going to get PISSED dealing w/ arrows and missiles lol
