Team Weapon X - Options for Teams That Include ol' Canuckle Head

Realllly like my new and final team. I’ve said that before but hopefully this time it sticks. Got my favorite character, Wolverine of course, and two assist that allow him to finish combos and convert off throws and B Slash. Tatsu when I’m in and Fuzzys, Bolts to get him in and catch assists. Strange and Akuma can both anchor depending on the matchup and both benefit each other tremendously as well. I’ll figure out the order later. Glad I kept labbing up Bolts to see if Wolv could use it. I tried skrull but I feel a wolverine team NEEDS akuma , beam, and to lesser degree sent. Teams very fun though.

Thank you. I appreciate you finding that for me. To answer your question, Spencer is by far my strongest character so I may stick with Hawkeye for the time being. One thing I notice with Wolverine and Hawkeye however is that I have trouble against team with Magneto and/or Doom. Mag gives my Hawkeye trouble by tri-jumping with magnetic blast covering himself, and doom beam assist just eats Hawkeye’s arrows. Switching to Akuma to solve those problems is tempting, but more likely I just need to get smarter about calling Hawkeye.<div><br></div><div>Thanks again.</div>

yeah ive fallen completely in love with plasma wolvie. truth be told, i wasnt even much of a wolverine fan in general till i decided to mess with him and plazbeam. now its prob my fav duo aside from missiles-mag. i certainly wont claim its better than tatsu objectively, but from a personal pref standpoint, its so much more fun.<div><br></div><div> i just hate that vergil is so powerful that not using him is an inherant weakness. one im willing to have, but its still annoying.</div>

Any thoughts and opinions as to which team is better Wolverine/Dante (Jam Session or Weasel Shot)/Vergil or Wolverine/Doom (Plasma Beam)/Vergil. I’m really on the fence as to which team I should stick it out with.

Wolverine/doom/vergil by a long shot in my opinion, neither jam session nor weasel shot are strong enough neutral assists for wolverine in my honest opinion. I don’t know too much about weasel shot so I may be mistaken but I know for a fact jam session is just not a good neutral assist for logan, its a very good secondary assist, but wolverine doesn’t have any tools to compensate for the extreme damage scaling caused by jam session.<div><br></div><div>Of course I’ve been known to be wrong before, but in this regard Im pretty certain Im correct.</div>

Objectively doom is better, for the range and toolset. However, dante is a strong char with a strong assist that does give wolve a lot of what he wants. Like jak said, he tends to shine as a 2ndary assist along side doom or akuma. This is why in my above post I lament the fact not using vergil makes the team weaker. Because I want to both recommend and use myself doom and dante with wolvie, but if you’re, say, entering a tourn I can’t in good conscience recommend dropping vergil.

If you’re willing to sac some power for fun, go wolvie doom dante (or dante doom), if you’re not willing to drop vergil, then ask yourself how much you enjoy dante. If you really love him and only consider doom for the beam, go with dante and see how you do. If dante/doom is only a coin flip to you and you just want the superior wolverine assist, go doom.

Ugh, this is why vergil annoys the shit out of me. Zero may be #1 but he’s not a strategic requirement. Vergil just has to be there on some teams to be optimized unless you’re a serious dante specialist, who can consistently do all his max damage combos and can seize and maintain complete control with a solo dante. In that case drop vergil and go WDD :slight_smile: vergil is almost dark phoenix without the downsides. I don’t play tourns really, but if I did Id feel virtually obligated to run xxx doom vergil.

Doom is actually kinda similar, but I love doom so it doesn’t bother me so much. But if someone else made a similar complaint about him, I couldn’t really argue.

<font face=“Arial, Verdana” size=“2”><span style=“line-height: normal;”>i’m gonna have to say you’re best bet is with doom, jam session and weasel shot are both mediocre compare to what doom’s plasma beam does for wolverine</span></font>

I’ve been trying out raccoon spit fire with wolv/doom. It’s damn good for both. Some sick tech with that team. Post it later if anyone is interested.

Hi, I’m a new Wolverine player and an old Dr. Strange player. I wanted to know if there is any possible team with these two. There is some nice synergy between them that I’ve tested in the lab, like using Strange bolts for confirming after a berserker slash with no meter (like Doom) and Strange’s Spell of Vishanti into Berserker Charge then continue a combo. But I’m struggling to find a third character, I tried Doom but using Plasma Beam and Bolts is pretty much redundant. Maybe with missiles, though. What do you guys think?

<P><BR>Wolverine/Strange/Vergil.</P>
<P>I been working on this team but my Strange needs leveling up though.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The choices you have are play Strange second with a godlike anchor, Strange second with his best assist on third, or play strange anchor with another character who can use bolts on second (I think spencer is a good choice).</P>

Thanks but I despise using Vergil. I tried once and I just can’t use him. I play on pad so I can’t charge round trip properly, it’s a nightmare. Can’t play button charging characters at all… I also hate this character with a passion.<div>I was trying Wolverine/Strange/Hawkeye. I found a way to convert into Fatal Claw loops using Wolverine OTG + Hawkeye triple arrow assist, but it’s pretty tight and seems to work only in the corner. I was trying because Hawkeye assist is very good for Strange. For anchor Strange, Spencer is nice, but then I’d just go for Nova/Spencer/Strange which is way more effective. Maybe Wolverine/Storm/Strange could work too? Bolts is not Akuma’s tatsu though. Maybe Sentinel can work too… I’ll go to the lab with some characters and I’ll post here what I discover.</div>

Just an FYI, I think rog is dropping vergil. He recently asked champ on twitter to teach him dorm. It’s clear he’s looking to adapt for chris g. Wolv/dorm/doom is perhaps what he has in mind

What about Dante or Shuma?<br><br>I think Wolverine and Strange with mystic ray is pretty derp.  Only problem is you have to run Shuma anchor.  <br><br>Wolverine/Dante/Strange would probably be the best pick.  Wolverine with Jam Session is really good.  Dante with bolts is also really good.<br>You can also try Wolverine/Strange/Dante but I dunno how good jam session is with Strange.  You can probably do some really good zoning with jam session. Also teleport mix-ups are really good with Jam Session.  Not sure how much damage you can get off a jam session confirm though.<br><br>Oh and lastly you can convert off throws and set up fatal claw loops with jam session and mystic ray.   Which is probably one of the biggest requirements for your third character.<br>

Strange with Jam Session is damn good. It scales a lot but Strange can kill with a level 3 if you really needs a character out. I don’t know anything about Dante but I’m going to try it. Thanks! Also I was messing around with Skrull. His tenderizer assist is very good for fatal claw loops and he is a hella good anchor. If Dante gets too difficult for me I think my Wolvie team is going to be Wolvie/Strange/Skrull or Wolvie/Skrull/Strange cause Skrull loves bolts.

Use orbital grudge or Slam. You can do loops/otg/slash conversions/ ovehreads with both.Also Bolts also allows Tornado claw loops midscreen as well as the corner. You can also convert off a b slash with bolts or ray. As mentioned before you can otg off any throw and obv thc.

If you map L to L2 then charging becomes quite simple. Saves R2 for supers.

wolverine and nova any good together ? 

I know plasma is way better than disruptor, and I used to run it, but was wondering what people’s thoughts on Logan/Dante/Magnus were?<div><br></div><div>I still get a beam for approach/some projectiles/“teleport” mixups, I get jam for lockdown, vertical, incoming, and I get dante + disruptor in the back).</div>

I’m playing Wolverine/Nova/Strange, Nova’s Centurion Rush allows mixups and corner Fatal Claw loops.
