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

I run Wolv (Barrage) / Haggar (Lariat) / Arthur (Daggers). Wolverine isn’t much of a team player, but the other two helps him tremendously.

Team DHCs fine, although the dmg isn’t too great Fatal Claw > Haggar Body Splash > Goddess Bracelet.

I just picked up using Wolverine last night and after just a few hours of practice he works wonderfully in my team. I’m using Wolverine (slash) / Wesker (gun) / Ryu (tatsu).

I’m really liking it because I can use the Ryu tatsu to help mix up with Wolverine for a berserker slash, or use the Wesker gun shot to OTG into lvl 3. If Wesker is out I can use the tatsu or the berserker slash to pick people up after an OTG gun shot. And as for Ryu, Wesker gives me the OTG, and Wolverine doesn’t really do much.

I think my main reason for picking Ryu over Akuma is for his straight fireballs which I can throw out on reaction to seeing Wolverine jump up for a dive kick, and because I like having his Tatsu super which I have been able to use against annoying characters like Viewtiful Joe

Its your lucky day…lol. Sorry bout the delay fellas, been working on some other projects and im tryna toughen up for evo.
Here’s a friendly ft5 between a friend and i that uses some of the examples that im about to explain.

  1. My Team: Wolvie (berserker slash), Sent (drones), Magnest (hyper grav).
  2. My Strategy: STAY IN YO FACE…if you have space to breathe, then you have time to think…i dont want that.
  3. My Goal: to have one of the most recognised wolverines’ in MvC3.

MY BNB’S

  1. dash, :l:,:m:,:h:+:a1:,:m:Berserker Slash,:m:Berserker Slash,:m:Berserker Slash, Berserker Barrage X.
  2. dash, :l:,:m:,:h:+:a1:,:m:Berserker Slash,:m:Berserker Slash,:m:Berserker Slash, Berserker Charge, dash, :m:,:h:+:a2:,:m:Berserker Slash, (get caught with hypergrav), :s:,:u:,:h:, Drill Claw, :d:+:h:, Land, Super.
  3. :l::m::h::s::u::m::m::h:, Drill Claw, :d:+:h:, Land, :u::f::m:+:a2:, :m:, :h:, :s: (get caught with hyper grav), :s::u::m::m::h:, Drill Claw, Fatal Claw.

CROSSUPS
after a snapout or killing a character:
Dash around so the opponent doesnt know which side you’re going to be on. Right before they come out dash back. When you see the opponent press :h:+:a2:. The opponent’s first reaction is to block after seeing the :h:. Right before they land, do a :h:Berserker Slash.
One of 2 things can happen.

  1. they block the berserker slash, leaving you safe because of the incoming hypergrav.
  2. they get hit with the berserker slash thats knocks them into the hypergrav…freeeeeeee combo.

Thats all i got for now…i aint giving up all my secrets…lol.
Next thing you know, yall be blocking all my shit.
Questions?
Oh, and anything you see with an attack+something, they need to be pressed at the same time.
One more thing, guys, be original…i see too many wolvie/akuma teams. Nobody does what i do. I dont even think i’ve ever seen anyone use hypergrav as an assist.
Air combo, knockdown, call akuma, slide, berserker barrage, super…c’mon.
Spend some REAL time in the lab and you’ll see what you can come up with.

Ok so I just picked this game back up and im for sure using wolverine since he is my favorite character and my team before did consist of Wolverine/hulk/storm but now im trying to actually get good at this game cause i sucked before but i finally just realized i do not have the creativity alot of people have when it comes to this game and combos and stuff im just wondering how you guys decide what character will be on your team

I go back how well characters work together (obvious answer). But, priority wise:

  1. Your own priority…
    You like playing Random Select? Go for it.

You like chucking objects from across the screen? Play a bunch of keep away

You like being in someone’s face? Play rushdown

You like themed teams? Play the same cast (Resident Evil, Xmen, Avengers, and Darkstalkers come to mind)

You like little effort in winning? Get Dark Phoenix out in XF3. (haha…)

Just have fun doing whatever you want!

Although doing this usually leads to losing, and that isn’t fun… Which leads me to…

  1. How well they DHC…
    I like the other guys team (wolverine-master: Wolv/Mag/Sent). You can do Wolv’s BnB into Fatal Claw DHC into any of Mag’s Hyper DHC in Sent Force (you can pretty much tack on Sent Force to any Hyper)

Many people just blow random supers for chip damage. Why not do guaranteed dmg (scaled but guaranteed).

  1. Assist Utility…

I would place this priority on par with DHC, if Assists didn’t take so much DMG!

The other guys team (sorry! can’t see your name on my phone while replying) as an example again… Mag’s Hyper Gravity extends wolves combos by using wolves OTG. Sentinel Drones helps Wolv “get in” and also can extend combos a’s well, although can be a liability because being out too long and bad match-ups.

If anything, get the Bradygame’s guide. It has a lot of fundamentals!

I said I wouldn’t do it… I really did, but now, I see the light and that light is wolverine’s fatal claw.
Gonna learn how to run Wesker/Wolverine/akuma(Dante or Sentinel)

This stuff is really original, kudos. I’m just not sure how good Magneto is as an anchor. Those mixups are godlike though, holy shit.

thank you

I can’t decide on an assist for Wolvie on my team. I’m not ready to sellout and use Akuma just yet. I’m feeling either Arthur-b or Shuma-a.

Arthur’s Daggar assist is really strong for Wolvie since it’s one of the best projectile assists, keeps them pinned long enough for low/instant overhead mixups, and combos after Berserker Slash at almost all ranges. He also has amazing potential with XF3 and full meter. Dante’s my second character so there will be no shortage of meter.

But Shuma’s Mystic Ray assist is the perfect assist for Berserker Slash. It’s pretty much guaranteed to combo after Berserker Slash at ANY range. It also keeps opponents out of the air, which is good for Wolvie. The only it doesn’t do is give him the instant overhead mixup, but maybe I can compensate for that with Dante’s assist.

U could use dantes gun assist for instant overheads and iam pretty sure u could use beserk slashes with it two. I think u should use shuma just because he is a better char. And has his own instant overhead.

This is a quote from February, but I happened upon it while looking for info about this interaction. In training I figured out how to get Wesker OTG relaunches with the Slash assist, but wasn’t able to get it with Barrage miscreen (corner is easy, just hit the assist and gun at same time). Im gonna mess w/ it a little more and see if teleports are needed or anything midscreen, but I was wondering if anyone (or even Boom Cube if you still frequent these forums) knows if the Wesker air MMHS land dash call Barrage OTG gunshot S relaunch is even possible outside of the corner, and if so how to time it. With this pickup, different assists have different timings and such, and I figured out a lot of them, but Barrage seems to allude me. I wanted to ask before writing it off because I once deemed it impossible off Taskmaster arrows, then was showed how to do it, and felt foolish. I’d rather be foolish by asking a silly question than by deciding it can’t be done. Thanks!

Edit: OK, figured it out! After landing from the air series, immediate dash, then gunshot+assist at the same time and cancel the gun into L teleport, hit S immediately upon completion of teleport and u’ll pop em up the other way! It’s pretty sexy actually.

This is cool stuff. Have you come up with anything new that you are willing to share?

Maybe a few, but some guys just dont respect other players…(mainly me)
Some guy I played recently showed his true colors after a couple matches…started shooting projectiles…ONLY PROJECTILES.
Shit is annoying. (if you dont like my shenanigans, dont play me)
I told dude I didnt want to play that projectile bullshit anymore, so what he do?
QUOTE the pm I sent him on xbl, and is currently wearing it as his signature…why?
Cuz I made a couple combo videos. So my name has a lil significance and I guess he wants in.
I have a few stuff man, but I’m a lil shady into posting it…

I understand. I don’t really see how the situation you explained could be hazardous to you by contributing new Wolvie tech, though. If anything, it makes you are more prominent figure in the community and if/ when you see people using combos that you invented, you can feel a sense of satisfaction from that.

You obviously have old school sensibilities in the fighting world, which I can understand because I’m from the era of dudes getting into fights in the arcade because one was cheesing hadukens nonstop, as well. The 90’s<3 lol

wolverine-master, since it’s been a couple months since your last post, just curious if you’d found any new tech since then. It’s worth a shot to ask :slight_smile:

I sent you my number, hit me up, we’ll talk.

via PM? If so it hasnt arrived, though perhaps PMs have a sending delay, Ill check again in a little. Or if you’re talking to someone else, I’ll just blush embarrassingly lol

I only have a few. But some guys I know are doing a wolvie combo vid and I’m saving it for them. We should run a few friendly matches sometimes.

You’ll beat the crap out of me, but I’m always down for a free lesson :slight_smile:

This is my wolverine team Wolvie/Trish/Doom. im going to make a full combo vid with this team soon
