What is the best Assist(s) to set up Tasky’s unblockable? I was thinking of Akuma (tatsu), Sentinel, or maybe Doom.
^Doom is pretty good at doing the unblockable into combo.I choose hidden missiles and call him at times when I’ve got my opponent to block.Then I do swordmaster>headbutt and the missiles catch them giving you long enough to combo after the headbutt.
I’m running Taskmaster(a)/Dr.Doom(b)/Haggar(a).I really like this team but its true the DHC possibility is lacking.
I was playing someone online the other night who had a nice DHC setup that I’m gonna steal.He did an air combo ending in S with Haggar then he OTG’d with Haggar press which pops you up in the air in the perfect position to DHC into diagonal legion arrows.
The problem with Doom is that he isn’t very good on point. I’m leaning more towards Akuma due to his Tatsu just going through projectiles and last quite a bit, giving me enough time to get in. Also been thinking about Hsien-Ko with Pendulum Assist.
AFAIK, the only assist that will allow you to Sword Master~Headbutt midscreen is Dormammu (Dark Hole). The other assist knock the opponent back too far (if they advancing guard). In the corner more of the assists work. Akuma (Tatsu) doesn’t stay on the screen long, but if you Sword Master L immediately after calling the assist, then it will work.
Interesting. I like Dorm too, gonna’ try this out, thanks.
I’m using Taskmaster/Dante/Wolverine at the moment. I feel like something is off, but I also think I might be second guessing myself. I’m considering swapping out Wolverine, but I feel like I play decently with him. I just hate his assists.
I mean, I’m still pretty bad at this game, but I’m certainly winning more matches with this team than with my old one (Taskmaster/Storm/X-23).
Is Wolverine a guy whose assists you just have to accept as being bad? Or am I right to still be soul-searching for a third.
Skrull’s tenderizer usually does a good job, and Dante’s Jam Session as well. Ammy’s Cold Shot probably works too, that thing lasts forever. All in the corner, though.
Wolverine can work well with Taskmaster, but you have to have him on point with Taskmaster second. He has bad assists, his hypers are difficult to DHC into, and he isn’t nearly as scary without an assist like Akuma’s to help him out.

I’m liking what you’re doing there with Sent/Chun to keep the combo going Kurasa.
2 questions on that:
- At what point does the hitstun scale to where it is basically impossible to score another j. S?
- Is this corner only, or possible midscreen? Seemed like it dropped the one time you went for it midscreen.
I’m fairly certain that Kurasa and Dan are Japanese players, so you probably won’t get an answer from them.
- I can tell you that you won’t be able to get another j.S after one more relaunch/slam.
- The combo into Sent assist works mid-screen, but I wouldn’t suggest using it unless you have them in the corner. If you combo into Sent’s assist mid-screen, then you cannon keep the combo going much longer causing you miss out on some damage. Taskmaster’s normal BnB can carry all the way to the corner and let you finish your combo.
Hahahahahaha. Definitely not Japanese.
But yeah, the combo is possible, with modifications, in the mid screen. But you can easily carry them to the corner with his bnb.
As for the hit stun question, it is at its limit after the 3rd j.S.

LoL. It just sounded Japanese, and I know there is a Japanese player who calls himself Dan. My bad.
You can get more than 3 j.S in one combo as long as you just do the relaunch over and over, at max I have gotten 6. In long combos, I can only get 3 though, counting the initial slam.
Double Post
No worries. But yeah, I haven’t been able to get more than 3 if the combo contained other things.

Everyone knows task-sent is good.
My new team is Storm, Task, Sent. Storm and task dhc VERY well together and with storm on point you can kill someone with the DHC trick [media=youtube]PV4Hu1V9prE[/media] for 2 meters.
sweet gotta work on that DHC trick with storm.
also yesterday I did Task BNB otg arrow -> viper burn kick -> s.H b.H S j.S (while still in air) OTG arrows -> legion arrow -> hailstorm for over 1 mil.
Task’s L.counter is great against characters jumping heavy/special attacks.Characters like Hulk,Shulk,Haggar and Sent.
Man, I’m surprised how good Tasky and Shuma together are. That Mystic Ray assist is great for him and both build really good meter.
I was actually coming here to discuss this. I am thoroughly enjoying Shuma-Gorath, and intend to use him with Dormammu, and I was thinking of Taskmaster as my third, but I haven’t had time to test their synergy yet.
- Can you DHC out of Taskmaster at full screen into Hyper Mystic Smash?
- Does Taskmaster’s Aim Master H provide as good of cover for Shuma to advance as I think it will?
- Can Taskmaster use Shuma-Gorath to relaunch?
I’m also interested in thoughts from people who use Taskmaster and Dormammu together, if anyone cares to offer some.
I’m not sure about the relaunch from the Mystic Ray assist, but I’ll test it later.
