a good team for taskmaster is Dante with jam session and deadpool with quickwork
I’ve changed my team from; Tasky/Storm/Doom to Tasky(vert)/Ironman(beam)/Akuma(tatsu). I just can’t play Doom well enough to use him. Maybe later on. I only used Storm for ice storm. Her assists aren’t that great for Tasky imo.
Akuma is in there because his tatsu assist is gdlk. I was amazed with how many things it stuffs. But beware of Tron’s flame. Props to Spooty for his b&b. Been using it.
Ironman is in there because I can do Spooty’s assist b&b with unibeam when I need to. He helps with zoning and has great DHCs. I also like having an invincible hyper(or 2) in my back pocket.
I’m interested into Haggar+Tasky setups. Please do it. :V
Parabolic Arrows are so good with Doom. The opponent can’t jump and dash forwards with all the projectiles on screen.
I’d love to see this.
Gonna see how Tasky fairs with Spencer. My reasoning is relatively nonexistent but I love playing as them quite a bit. If anyone has any tips/suggestions for a third, I’d love to hear it.

Not a bad combo, actually. Spencer’s Armor Piercer assist sets up a nice opportunity for Tasky, since it can be called mid-combo, and if it hits, he has no trouble catching the wall-bounced opponent with a shield charge or mighty swing. And since he can’t wall-bounce, himself, it adds to his arsenal. And of course, Tasky’s arrows (any of them) are great for covering Spencer’s zip lines. For a third, I recommend someone with a decent lockdown option, since neither of them really have one.
Ok I’m at a loss for a third character. My team is supposed to be very DHC centric so I need someone with a good hyper, but I also want a helpful pressure assist. Iron Man and Dormammu have awesome hypers but their assists are lackluster. Chun and Doom have awesome assists but their hypers don’t work for me and I don’t want to use Sentinel. What kind of options do you guys have?
The only one that comes to mind right now is Akuma. I’d settle for him but I’d prefer to play someone else.
Try Amaterasu. Okami Shuffle is a full screen hyper so it will DHC into anything. Cold Star packs the best pressure in an assist to date.
Need help pairing up Tasky. I’m keeping him on Point (with Up arrows for assist) and I was thinking of pairing him up with either of these guys: Skrull, Akuma (Tatsu), Doom (Missiles), Hsien-Ko (Reflector), and Deadpool. I want every character on the team to have an Assist that helps at locking them down, and getting them off of me. Plus every character needs a way a getting in on a Zoner and has a good OTG. I want every character to be self-sufficient without relying on Assists for dear life, so obviously no Haggar.
Skrull looks like a solid Second, and a nice Point too. Has a good teleport (not a great one) easy links to super and OTG, Air Dash and HCB grab shenanigans. The only thing he has against him is that his Assists are just okay.
Akuma looks like he might be my 3rd, the damage he takes kinda’ scares me from keeping him, but his Tatsu assist is amazing, and his Demon can go through Supers.
Doom I like purely for his Missile Assist, which is in the running for best Assist in the game. But as a character he’s slow, has trouble getting in, no wave dash, and can’t Zone very well. At WB I don’t think there were any really good Doom players on display. Most dudes just kept as a 3rd and were forced to use him when both characters died, and they mostly lost when using just Doom.
Hsien-Ko I like a lot, but albeit of an odd character to use. It’s going to take time.
Deadpool is just a solid Keep-Away and can do pretty much anything when it comes down to it, plus he’s easy to use.
Have you considered Trish?
She has a Hyper that will DHC combo from nearly any, a hyper that will DHC make nearly anything safe, combo from some, and allow you to DHC into an install or get free pressure, and all of her assists are useful (Hopscotch for zoning/knockdown, peekaboo for zoning/knockdown/resets, low voltage for zoning)
What types of assists do you guys like to use with Taskmaster? I’m kind of tempted to choose rushdown-oriented assists, but I’m also thinking my team might need an anti-air assist.
I’ve been running him with a low assist for scary Spidey Swing offense and Doom Rocks. Parabolic Arrows and a good ground cover assist is hard to get in on.
How do you guys feel about Viper? Sadly she doesn’t have a great DHC unless you land air236BC with Taskmaster but even then I NEED to have her as third because giving up Storm DHC would be silly. She can DHC into her level 3 after hail storm but thats just a waste of meter imo.
Anyways the reason I’m using her is Taskmaster builds meter like no other and Viper uses meter like no other. They can lead to some pretty devestating damage and her burn kick assist lets Taskmaster run some pretty ugly mixups. I’ll definitely try out Trish though.
I haven’t really played Viper too much, but I will say Burning Kick overhead assist and Seismic Hammer assist which OTGs are both very good.
Trish is a really good choice too. Round Harvest is one of the best supers in the game.
I’m rocking Tasky (a), Iron man (b assist) and Captain A (a).
Captain A and tasky can do some nasty shit due to shield shenanigans. Also both of their A assists help tack on some fairly nice damage to very simple combo (my execution sucks ass right now).
Iron-man b assist is a pretty sick anti air too, really effective on sentinel and sets up easy damage for Tasky.
Repulsor Blast also stops teleporters.
I’m running Taskmaster(b), Deadpool(b), Morrigan(y).
Works well as a zoning focused team with some really nice damage potential. Morrigan is is battery for the fight, allowing for lots of extra hyper play. I like the extra hyper for landing lots of :f:cl.:h: and 
cl.:h: grabs and firing off a hyper for extra damage. Tasky already can make lots of hyper, so I use that for my bnb to hyper setups. Deadpool is played mostly as a zoning char, I like to choose my moments to be in close with him. A surprise :f:
maybe? Katanarama assist is used because I have a hard time relaunching with j.:qcf::h:(charge-low) so this gives me the ability to relaunch and push the 720-760k line with my Tasky bnbs. Which to me isn’t too bad considering I can’t do his actual bnb’s yet -_-.
I tend to run Morrigan as last man in. When she’s got 3-4 hyper and x-factor l3 she can be a real bitch to deal with. :d::d::atk::atk: (Astral Vision) + mass fireballs can make even seasoned Phoenix players plan their movements carefully(from my experience :P) Add in l3 X-factor and its a bullet hell.
-edit- I use Tasky’s (b) assist because it great for covering space, and allowing deadpool or morrigan to get close.
Thoughts? 
Haggar (Lariat) does amazing things for Taskmaster’s defense (let’s face it, Tasky’s only defensive option is his counter-super, which is risky). Unfortunately, Haggar has terrible hypers for DHC.
Also, I think Spencer/Tasky is ok. I think Tasky/Spencer is no good.
I’ve been playing Spencer/Task/Doom as my fun team since the beginning, I have to agree with Spooty here, they’re just average together.
