To the 2 guys above me, my Wolvie team before was Wolve Storm Akuma, but since then have entered into a love affair with Taskmaster and my Wolverine team is now Wolve Task Tron accordingly. As such, may I recommend to you both Tron as your 3rds. If you’re worried about Tron as a shitty anchor, if Wolvie dies (as if he ever dies, right?) just tag Tron in and play her w/ Task arrows (fun!) and basically anchor Taskmaster.

Would you please elaborate on the Wolvie Task Yin Yang you speak of (I actually PMed you about this too)? I have no idea about any unblockables, and would very much like to! Also, do you get any use out of Wolvie’s barrage assist? Or just pick it because you have to pick something?

Also, what are you doing to continue throws? I figured out on ground back throw, after the throw call Task immediately, then dash df+M (opposite Akuma) and Arrows will let you launch. I cant seem to get it for air throws or forward throws, though. Thanks!

So I am going to drop X-23 because she doesn’t do enough damage for such low health. It kind of sucks since I like her so much.

Right now I am thinking Wolverine/Akuma/ (Thor/Spencer) What is your suggestion? I really don’t want to run sent.

143

You could use Thor’s projectile assist like you would Sentinels. It should work really well with Wolverine if you can keep it safe.

144

I just want to do a quick over view of my team and describe how it functions. This is my first post on SRK but it is an slight analysis and I am an experienced player!

It consist of Wolverine/Zero/Taskmaster.

Assist:
Wolverine: Berserker Slash

  • Weird choice I know. Thinking of switching it. I for now use this for extremely ambiguous cross ups that even I can’t follow sometimes due to not understand the Assist sometimes :smiley:
    Zero: Shippuga
  • Pressure assist. Pretty low tier really but it can pick up Wolverine’s OTG slide.
    Taskmaster: H. Arrows
  • Heart of the team’s assists. Great projective that allows Wolverine and Zero to cross up and covers their unsafe moves (Dive Kick etc.)

**DHC Opportunities that I most often utilize: **

Fatal Claw --> Rainbow
Rainbow --> Fatal Claw
Fatal Claw --> Legion Arrows
Rainbow --> Legion Arrows
Fatal Claw --> Rainbow --> Legion Arrows
Berserker Charge --> Genmu Zero
Berserker Charge --> Clone Mode
Clone Mode --> Berserker Charge
Clone Mode --> Aegis Counter
Berserker Charge --> Aegis Counter
Legion Arrows --> Rainbow

There are several you can create by utilizing Wolverine’s Berserker Charge hyper. I just don’t often find myself in that situation.

Character Roles:

Wolverine: Rush-down and cross-up master. Wolverine is one of the best characters at finding hit-confirms and his combo’s are incredibly punishing. He likes safe air mobility but does have speed and a great over head game. Just remember, don’t super jump and dive kick. Normal jump and call an assist. Faster recovery time on the kick and coverage. Wolverine is used to open up the opponent and lead into a fatal DHC.

Zero: The heart of the team. Zero is also a rush-down master but his rush style is oriented more towards pressure. His multi-hitting normals and command dash allow him to stick to an opponent and cross them up. Zero’s versatility does not end there however. His zoning game is notable with his Z-Buster, Fireballs, and Clone Mode. Also, his mobility is ridiculous. Command Dash, a good but slow Air Dash, and a lightning teleport. Zero functions as a meter builder and as a way to DHC back into Wolverine in a damaging combo. Zero also has many trick techs such as Clone loops, projectile traps, and a plethora of BnB combos that serve different purposes.

Taskmaster: The tank of the team. A meter building boss and his BnB’s hit hard. Taskmaster is one of the most versatile characters in the game. His main weakness is mobility but he sacrifices that for a fierce projectile game, wave dashing, and Mighty Swing. Taskmaster can DHC easily with the other two for extra damage and his TAC capabilities are wonderful.

Team Synergy Notes

Strengths:
[LIST]
[] Each character is a fairly good User and Battery
[] Each character can DHC
[] Each character can effectively act as a Point character.
[] The assist complement one another
[/LIST]

Weaknesses:
[LIST]
[] A bit low on the health side but as indicating by streams, the HP in this line up is pretty standard. Go pixies!
[] The assist are not top tier
[] Rush-down oriented. Good keep away can call for character adjustments.
[] No DHC trick. But I personally find it distasteful. [/LIST]

Has anyone made good use of another assist that lets Wolverine Berserker Slash with impunity besides Akuma’s tatsu? Aside from Sentinel drones, of course, and preferably a character that can anchor well, and isn’t Sentinel - aren’t I just full of fun requirements?..

146

Try out some beam assist or just projectiles in general. Taskmaster is a good anchor and his H. Arrows should cover you pretty well. Iron Man, Doom, and Magneto may all work (but they aren’t the best anchors.) Dormammu’s Dark Hole MAY work. Not sure. If it does, he is an amazing anchor.

147

Beam assit work the best but u could do it with a lot of assist depending on the range and timing I have even been able to d o it with wesker samurai edge. Imo task didn’t work well cuz his arrows didn’t seem to always hit at certain distances. I first used amy which wasn’t bad but it didn’t go far enough for me to rushdown. Then I used iron man but he just didn’t seem that good and u have to do some hard ass combos to get good damage with him. Magnetos beam comes out too fast and is hard to combo after. Hulk gamma wave was ok but hulk as an anchor doesn’t work to well imo (although dhcing to him was AMAZING). Then I tried doom which works almost perfectly with the timing of slashes. But he just doesn’t seem good at all. But just recently after seeing mr. Nannies sign (I think) I started using modok and his beam seems great and although he is fuckin weird his rusdown and zooning is pretty nice and I think I get more damage using his beam and my slashes than all the other. But I haven’t really test him out all the way yet but he seems like a good addition to my team ill let u no when I play at the end of the week. And if yal find better assist (good damage, ease of combing after, and other purposes it could serve) and anchors for wolv let me know.

I first used x23 and dropped her for the same reason but now My alt team is x23, wolv, akuma. And really the only reason was because of the dhc trick which does like 1mil+ damage so don’t give up on her unless they take the glitch out.

148

I do have some trouble with Taskmaster’s arrows as, unlike a beam, it doesn’t really hold them anywhere. Other than that though, it covers me well and crosses-up.

149

Taskmaster doesn’t fit the bill, as the arrows often whiff when used with Berserker Slash. I already have Iron Man and Doom on other teams - this is part of my project to make a team with every character + Dormammu. Dormammu has to be second in team order to make use of Fatal Claw -> Stalking Flare DHC, though you can Berserker Slash into Dark Hole (lots of damage decay though).

I don’t mind anchoring with Hulk. If Gamma Wave works perfectly with Berserker Slash, I’ll give it a try.

I’ll try Psionic Blaster as well, but I don’t think MODOK is a great anchor; he’s a good point character.

Thank you for the suggestions gents.

150

Ya the only prob I see with modok is that u can crouch his laser which I just had. to find out the hard way :frowning: but iam still going to try him some more. And his mixup game really makes me want to keep him and gamma wave isn’t perfect just because the timing weird looking imo but once u get the timin down it seems good. Another I forgot to mention was shuma which seems to work well too (except I think it needs more timing) and he has overheads as fast or faster than modok. Shumas only prob is that u can’t get much damage if u don’t have level 3 and u finish ur combo midscreen, and his zoning isn’t as good as modok

151

I was originally running Hulk, Ammy (for her assist), Dorm, but have recently picked up Wolverine (Love em)…

Currently i’m toying with…

Wolverine, Hulk, Dorm
Wolverine, Hulk, Task
Wolverine, Hulk, Sent
Wolverine, Hulk, Ammy

I’m still a stronger player with Hulk then I am with Wolverine thus far, so I might switch their positions for Hulk on Point. This has mainly become a decision of assists. I’m personally less interested in Sent and Ammy then I am in Dorm and Task, but I feel like I need Ammy to get in with Hulk so I’d like to make sure I have cover/pressure to get in. FYI, I have near no experience with Task, but I am interested in him. Sentinel is a given, but I find him a bit boring and overall, he has such a large hitbox that I think hes more of a detriment then a help.

Wolv would use Berserker
Hulk would use Crush
Dorm would use Black Hole
Task, I’m guessing H. Arrows?
Sent, Drones
Ammy, Downward Ice

Any thoughts or recommendations?

152

Which team do you guys feel is stronger?

Wolverine/Akuma/Storm

or

Wesker/Wolverine/Akuma?(or whatever order is preferred for this team)

Why, and thanks! Haven’t played in 3 months and I’m trying to really learn the game now.

153

. Wesker doesn’t nec ee

I say wesker just cuz I like him but with storm u can dhc glitch and kill anybody with 2 supers and storm will prob benifit way more from akumas tatsu assist (that is if u run storm wolv akuma). Wesker doesn’t really need a lock down assist imo but storm def does. And wolv can def be crazy wit one too.

154

Taskmaster with high shot. You could do beserker slash to crossup or try to go in with Hulk and use the arrows to cover. Dark hole for Dormammu would be the right assist.

155

I’ve really liked using wolv/ironman but i have a lot of trouble chosing my third. I think i’ll end upwith sent or dorm but I was just wondering if anyone knew some chemistry i didn’t think about. And if anyone has a team with wolv and ironman i would like to hear their third and why they have them on the team. Thanks :smiley:

156

wesker, wolv, IM wwesker and IM go well together watch viscant

157

I’m not sure why I ruled him out, thanks

158

Hi I was wondering if Wolverine and Deadpool have a good team synergy. Also which one to have on point, and which assists work well together with these 2 characters on the same team.

159

Wolverine/Sentinel/Akuma or Wolverine/Wesker/Akuma? Whats the stronger team?

160

I’ve been using a team of:

Wolverine w/ bers slash assist
Dormammu w/ dark hole assist
Tron w/ gustaff fire assist

I like wolv and dorm together because I feel they can cover each other’s weaknesses and air fatal claw DHC into stalking flare combos easily AND gives Dorm plenty of time to get 3 powers of the destructor/creator afterward (try it in training mode… it keeps them in hitstun for several seconds.)

I love tron’s assist for both of these characters, acting as a punishment for pushing buttons against wolv and a defensive tool for dorm. I don’t like tron as an anchor though; I always get kept away with no assist to help out.

What would be a good anchor for wolv and dorm? I’m comfortable playing hulk and sentinel and certainly would not mind branching out. I’ve played a little doom, don’t have movement and bnbs down but he has good assists and good uses for meter. I was also considering checking out iron man or something. Haggar could be good with his assist, accomplishing just about the same thing as tron, but could get kept away.
