appreciate it guile, I’ll let you know it I think of anything. Also the marvisto combo I saw is…it’s just impossible. You guys have to see this shit. http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky/b/449382806 the magic happens at 4:36:54. I hit the lab and just can’t comprehend how godlike marvisto is. If you guys can figure out how he links that s.L after the arrow pick, please share the love.
OHHH WOW. THAT HAS BEEN JACKED. I don’t think it’s that hard actually…Ima lab it right now. I know for a FACT that it’s possible if you do the arrow and then x factor because I have seen Moons do it and I think Adhelheid is the one that posted it originally.
EDIT: Yup…as I suspected. It isn’t as hard as it looks/feels at first. You know how when you get a throw with Task, you kind of have to input the swing what feels like during the very end of the animation of the grab because if you wait until it looks like he recovered fully, they get up? Well you have to input the jab early. If you try to do it when it looks like he lands, it will whiff. I hope that makes sense. I might try to do a video.
EDIT (again): EVEN BETTER advice, input the L when you here the “ching” sound from the arrow hitting the ground.
The Task XF3 pickup is pretty annoying, but I find it better than the assistless airthrow conversion, so it’s not terribly hard.
If you cancel into XF3 on the arrow hit, though, the combo’s so very easy, go into another swing and you can push to the corner for his XF3 semi-infinite.
that’s been known for awhile - duke’s vid from like half a year ago had it
you just delay the arrow as much as possible when swinging and then buffer a jab/short in, it’s pretty simple
some chars it’s harder/impossible on though (sentinel, iron man? i don’t recall specifically but there’s at least a few but all the relevant chars it works on)
Do you think Taskmaster is a good middle character if I have Cap on point and Akuma on anchor?
I like that team personally. It works.
FailFish…I’m so free, I watched that video when he first put it out. I guess I just wrote off some of the stuff because he was showing x-factor combos…guess i wasn’t thinking of how important being able to combo off of a front grab like that was. Thanks for the correction Tab, wouldn’t wanna take credit away from somebody.
Word me too. I definitely saw that video first XD
What do you guys think of a Nemesis/Task/Wesker team?
Don’t do it lmao.
I actually like Nemesis. He’s good with Task arrows, and Task can extend with Nemesis’s assists, all of them, BUT, I don’t like them together at all. Task can’t abuse the THC as well as Hulk, Dorm, Frank, or Spencer, and the Task/Nem DHC is not great.
Wesker, however is actually excellent with Nemesis THC and assists, but Task anchor is kinda meh, and isn’t a broken enough assist to benefit the two of them.
Nem/Wesker and Task/Wesker can work with the right third (not necessary in that order, but definitely not all together. Well, any team can work, but you gots to try too hard, not worth it.
Hello everyone! Im playing with a new team: Taskmaster/Spencer/Doom (missiles) and I want to know if you think that this team have potential, I tried Spencer on point but I liked most playing Task on point with missiles assist.
Any advice will be really appreciated and I want to have a solid team with these characters.
Thanks!
Please…switch the order lol. Well actually na it works with Task on point (I pocket that team) but if you MUST HAVE Spencer second, you gotta put Plasma Beam on Doom. Spencer needs Beam more than he needs Missiles.
Having the Spencer DHC available makes Spencer second sound useful, you can probably call slant assist and TAC through to doom anyway. I think either beam or missiles could work, depends on your playstyle. I just think Doom’s a slightly better anchor, and Spencer with Doom assist outranks Doom with Spencer assist in neutral, so the team plays a bit smoother under pressure, say, if they get the first kill and try to roll over you. That’s just my opinion, but still. Either way would work, really.
I actually came here with a question of my own, though. I’m trying out Taskmaster/Dorm/Strange, and though I don’t think Taskmaster’s at his best there (no assists to pick up off of throws), nor is he the best point by a long shot for this shell, I just am better with Dormammu than with other Task partners, and like Dorm/Bolts too much. Mags/Hawkeye/Arthur (I’m a lowtier optimist) would be optimal on anchor there, I am aware.
My question is, I often find myself getting throws, and being unable to convert into a full combo, which is new to me. My only options are TK Diagonal Arrows into chaotic flame, or Vertical arrows into knockdown and Stalking Flare. If I can’t get the kill, what do people think my gameplan there should be (between the options of pay 2 meters into Stalking Flare for a mixup or two, or not spend meter, swing with one H arrow and just have Task throw what would hopefully become pressure and mixups out on their wakeup). Or do all the Task players here have throw-conversion assists?
You can ask anyone that plays Spencer and they will tell you, Spencer NEEDS BEAM if he does not have another horizontal assist. Spencer with missiles is not the same character. Those 3 characters together is not bad at like…Like I said, I play the team too. Your option is either Taskmaster (Horizontal arrows) Spencer, Doom (Beam) or Spencer Taskmaster (Horizontal arrows), Doom (Missiles). Taskmaster with Doom alone an still play comfortable with Missiles but Spencer with just missiles isn’t really the best idea. ESPECIALLY when you have the option to use Beam without it being detrimental to the point character.
As for Nova Dorm, I feel like I have seen people pick up from a throw with Dorm assist before.
Task/Dorm? I do like Nova/Dorm, but that’s for another subforum. Also, you can pick up from Task throws with Dark Hole? I know you can with Liberation, but Dark Hole is excellent in concert with shield skills. Is that like the Cold Star pickup timing?
you can only pick up off air backthrows and backthrows near the corner (facing out) but not directly in
basically stuff where the spacing would obviously fit
with liberation you can pick up off other throws but it scales pretty harshly hitstun wise.
i’m playing my ol’ task trish frank team again for whatever reason and i discovered (maybe) the secret of how to get the boomerang consistent even though it makes no fucking sense
hold up during the super flash while holding the raw tag
somehow this has yet to fail me
That’s what I thought for throws. I can pick up from those easier throws with bolts and the scaling is better, so dang, dark hole is useless there.
So, I’m usually DHCing to stalking flare and going for a mixup with Task arrows, which I prefer over bolts for that one moment, because the timing of the 50/50 changes depending on how much they advancing guard, since arrows doesn’t cover the whole length of the screen right away, also because it hits crouchers. But can Task with Bolts get a better oki game if he just stays in? I never considered it before.
I love that Task/Frank team, it’s fun to lab when I’m bored, and probly the only Task/Frank team that really works aside from Task/Vergil/Frank and Task/Frank/Dante. I can only get the Boomerang Shopping Cart DHC followup if I superjump after tagging in Frank, rather than regular jump. But it involves playing Trish, and MY Trish is garbage. I still think your Frank team is awesome, though.
LMFAO my bad I meant Task…sorry I’m a Nova player so by default I think Nova XD…yeah I THINK I have seen people pick up with Dorm ball before.
thanks for the advices 
I really appreciate it.
I was playing with a friend today and I discovered that with task on point with missiles assist is really hard to get in, so I think Im going to change to beam so with that I will get the pressure I need, and the idea of spencer on point is good but I want to point task, I will practice both ways.
Thanks for the help and if you have more information, it will be really good for me
