My current team: Wolverine/?/Doom(Rocks or missiles)

I’m really lost as to who my second character should be. I really like doom, and rocks will hit after a Wolverine otg in the corner, to go into a hyper or more combos, so I feel like he works well. My only complaint about Doom is I feel his normals are a little bit slow, I have a hard time landing a ground series when I’m blocking people, but I’m not all that experienced with the game yet.

Wolverine is so much fun to play as, I love rushing people down with him, it’s so much to kill a character in the first 10 seconds of a match.

As for my second character, I’ve been experimenting with the following: Deadpool, Skrull, Wesker, Dante, Iron Man, Storm.

I like Iron Man with his Unibeam assist to help me get/stay in more, as well as nice DHC’s from Wolvies hypers, but for some reason he just doesn’t click with me when he’s on point. Any recommendations/tips?

Wolverine/Dante/Wesker

Wolverine/Beserker Claw Dante/Jam Session Wesker/Eagle Shot

I have them in this order too. So basically Wolverine on point cuz he has projectile hate if used right. And great rush down/mix ups. His lvl 3 super eats projectiles alive. Use Dante for lockdowns and go to town. I use wesker for otg combos and if you score an air throw you get a free otg combo or super. Wesker can combo with his otg + beserker claw after any of his combos into air S. But you must hit assist before otg if i remember right.

43

Wolverine/Doom/Phoenix This team is fun :slight_smile:

44

Dante’s lvl 3 kills fireballs. His hits full screen. Wolverine’s goes like 1/4 if your lucky.

And wouldn’t Wolverine eat up too much meter to be on a phoenix team?

@inoekim, Use a character that can stand on their own without Doom. There was this dude in this tourney I went to today, he was beasting using wolverine and x23 with doom assist. He lost in like quarter finals bcuz Doom kept dying early. Without a way to get in it’s hard to rush down, especially with all of these annoying ass assists (I’m looking at you Sentinel. And you too Doom missiles.)

45

I actually think you really shouldn’t be using more than 2 meter with Wolverine since he deals more than enough damage without super. 450k+? and I mean those good execution combos… which is something I want to get used to, getting my execution on point so I won’t need to use Meter with Wolvie so I can use that meter for Akuma. I dunno, it’s just me.

46

I had my optimized combos for Wolvie day 1. I like making people hurt, but maybe if you have a good assist you can go for mixups off of df. M. The way I figure is if you don’t kill them fast, that’s leaving the door open and this game it’s too easy to make comebacks.

47

Any suggestions on working my team out? Right now I’m running Wolverine (TC)/ X-23 (Ankle slicer)/ Chun (LL). I have an easy time keeping the lockdown, but without a character with any air mobility or projectiles, I have a hard time getting in.

Wolverine is pretty much my best character and X-23 follows so I want to keep them, should I go for Akuma? I feel like having both a lockdown assist and Low assist gets kind of redundant though because I kind of use them in the same situation. Pretty much I just want Wolverine on my team, but I’d be extra happy if X-23 was on my team too

edit: I’m kind of thinking Wolverine/ Magneto/ X-23. Both wolverine and magento can use X-23’s assist and Magneto with Disruptor should be ok. But I need to hit the lab with Mags

48

Use doom with molecular shield. It’s really good for both wolverine and x23, and rushdown in general. You can also try Arthur’s daggers, Sentinel drones. The only weakness is if you lose your good assist character, your game gets much weaker.

Your team right now has very very low health. It’s fine if you think you’re good enough to play without taking damage though.

49

Thanks man, I used to use Team Julius (WM/IM/Doom) in MvC2 and having Wolverine/X-23/Doom kind of turned out funny I guess. Can Doom assist work out with front throw slide with Wolverine?

50

I’ve been running Wolverine/Taskmaster (Y assist-Up Arrow)/Chun Li (LL assist). At first I was worried about not having an OTG but Wolverine doesn’t need it to bad. A low OTG assist would help with unblockables and opening the opponent up but I prefer having the option of DHCing into Taskmaster’s Up Arrow Hyper after Wolverines Air Hyper. This team does have trouble getting in but once they do, it’s ok. Fun team to run for sure, I’m huge fan of Taskmaster and Wolverine but I’ll prolly get rid of Chun for someone that can cover the ground better or provide better pressure as an assist. Since my main goal is to get opponents asap with Wolverine then Task. I try not to rely on Chun.

But I also use Wolverine/Task/Arthur depending on who I’m up against. Dagger assist is great with both of these characters.

51

@No_Cigar: Yeah, I’ve been leaning towards Dante for this reason. The guy doesn’t need much help getting in, and Jam Session is pretty good. It’s sad though because, compared to Wolvie, everyone feels slow to me, even Dante.

52

Even if it doesn’t combo it will set up a mixup situation off of the df. slide. You can go low, high, try and cross up. As their blockstun ends you can go low/high, and use berserker slash to cross up.

The reason why you would wait until after is because, to try and hit them pushing buttons or push block. Also you don’t want to use berserker slash while they’re in block stun bcuz they don’t have to block it cross up bcuz it auto blocks. They can just block it normal, but if you do it after then they do have to know which way to block.

In fact, if you use x23 you can use her OTG slash and probably start a combo off of a throw.

And yeah, I love Wolverine’s speed.

53

Hey all :slight_smile:

My team is Wolverine / X / Sentinel.

Any idea for the last ? I’m looking for a team I can train hard and can fight every team without changing any characters.

Thanks by advance and excuse my english.

54

Wolverine/Dante/Storm

I have just started trying out this team. I felt that was a weak link in my teams “Synergy” lol. I have replaced him with Storm and I am also going to try Trish. Both storm and trish have some wicked solo game. Both have good solo game from what i know of so far. Storm completely cancels out sent assist which is nice and then you can wave dash in with wolvie then of course dante with jam for lock down and AA strats.

55

That’s the team I’ve been playing and in that order.

56

I posted this in the general team-making thread, but I’m also posting here to get wolverine-specific info:

Hey guys, I’ve got two Wolverine based teams and I’m having a very hard deciding which one to ultimately go with. Hopefully you can help me out.

Here’s the first one:

Wolverine y (berserker barrage)
Deadpool a (quick work)
Dormammu a (dark hole)

The idea of this team is to use dormammu’s dark hole to help wolv get in and to hold down the opponent when he’s rushing down. Dive kicking into a dark hole doesn’t cause ground bounce, so you get the full combo. Deadpool’s assist is for when the opponent is cornered or scared to be aggressive. I use it to set up unblockables and to catch opponents off-guard by calling it out, super jumping, then dive-kicking into a combo.

Fatal Claw DHC’s into deadpool’s gun super for pretty good damage. I use deadpool to cover weird matchups. He’s versatile enough to plug holes. He plays great keepaway and rushdown when paired with dormammu’s dark hole.

Dormammu cleans up, usually by using level 3 x-factor and dealing insane chip.

Second team:

Hsien-ko a (Senpu-bu)
Sentinel y (low rocket punch)
Wolverine y (berserker barrage)

This team uses hsien-ko’s insane hyper-armor assist to make wolverine’s rushdown an absolute nightmare. Starts with hsien-ko doing the super then immediately switching to wolverine. From there, you try to get kills as fast as possible. Sentinel’s rocket punch sets up unblockables when coupled with wolv’s instant overhead or jumping S. Sentinel is used in favor of deadpool because he can cover the ranged and chip capabilities that would have been lost due to not having dormammu. He’s also overall more stable as a second character, which is important because hsien-ko is pretty much dead weight besides her assist.

There are many drawbacks that this team has compared to the first. First, it takes time to set up. Smart players notice what you’re up to by placing hsien-ko first and will try to swarm you right away. Once in a while, I miss getting off the super, which means i have to switch to wolverine or sent to build some meter before starting my rushdown. That sucks.

Even when the plan works, you start off with 1 less hyper bar. That means less initial damage and the inability to DHC if things go sour early on.

Finally, you lose your team anchor. Dormammu is an amazing late game player with his incredible chip damage, especially off of a level 3 x-factor. On the other hand, if it comes down to just hsien-ko, youre pretty much screwed.

This may look like a lot of cons, but the added value of the armored hsien-ko assist makes it very close. It may even be OP. I’m having a really hard time deciding which to go with, please let me know if you think of anything or have an opinion on the matter!

57

My team is Wolverine/Skrull/Chris.

Skrull’s Tenderizer assist is a nice with a cross-up Berserker Slash. Wolverine will knock them into Tenderizer which will hold them in place, then you can follow up with a j.H, Drill Claw and Dive Kick to ground bounce them. If it’s blocked then Tenderizer will probably keep you safe. Skrull is also mega easy to DHC into to for extra damage.

Chris’ SMG helps to get in and to combo after Wolverine’s df+M OTG.

58

my team is wolverine/x-23/iron man, i havent played much online yet, just sticking to the lab, ironman’s angled proton cannon is a great dhc after wolvie’s air fatal claw

x-23’s low hitting assist is great, and i use unibeam assist a lot. when x-23 is on point, if i call in a unibeam, ironman is right on top of her, and i wait till the beam starts, then do her movement hop to get on the other side of the opponent

ironman’s low heavy attack is a projectile normal, so at any point i can call in an assist which makes it more useful than unibeam in some situations when shell head is on point

combos ending in berserker baragex dhc iron avenger are usually always 100 percent kill

what would you say wolverines best assist would be in a team like this?

59

i’m using wolverine y /dante a /storm a. seems like a pretty solid team. i suck balls using dante right now though lol.

60

Im also using Wolverine(berserker slash)/Hsienko(Senpu bu), but im not sure about the third character. Any suggestions?
