The Wesker Question Thread

[BPCadet]

What are the best ways of getting in? I’m new to Marvel, and I don’t really know how to do mixups on approach at all. I’m running Dorm(black hole)/Task(aim master forwards)/Wesker(…do you really have to ask?), and although I rarely have Wesker anywhere but anchor, any advice on mixups from a neutral situation (or even a corner situation) would be much appreciated.

wave dash, l teleport, h teleport, jump in.

for mixups, you want to call an assist and/or gun, then teleport. depending on the positioning, the teleport can or can not crossup.

other mixups are frame trap c.l into another c.l or c.m. do one after another slowly so if they pushblock, they’ll eat the c.l into combo. mix that up with the command grab.

for mixups after the gunshot OTG, check on the thread in this forum by viscant.

Thanks, I’ll keep that stuff in mind. I know dash in c.m is an awesome spacing option (the range on that is just stupid); I’ll try more c.l as well, though. The teleports… I gotta work on the spacing. Can gun->heavy/light teleport cross up the gunshot hit, or is it just to pressure/lock down? Can you combo off of the gunshot with a fast teleport?

I saw that one. That is some crazy useful stuff.

In an effort to abuse the shit out of anchor vergil, I’ve arrived at and fallen in love with wesker magneto vergil. This leads me to 3 natural questions I very much hope you guys can speak on:

1. Wesker with disruptor… I’ve used this before, I know its power. I’ve watch neo, and I’ve watched Mine (any others I should know of?) I even know some good tricks such as calling beam, dashing in, an command grabbing before the beam touches. Yadda yadda. But basically I’m just wondering what some other good tricks and/or strats you guys might have for this duo. I find myself often NOT converting off a landed disruptah when in close, and wonder if there are specific ideal normals with which to confirm off it. And if u guys have any specific sequences from neutral you guys use to amplify albert’s power. Dos and donts, slick tricks, general advice, stuff like that.

2.when I get a kill and a new guy comes in, rapid slash seems like a sweet welcome setup assist and, via teleports and such, I’m landing it a lot. S the question becomes, how to confirm a combo off it, especially when, via crossup teleport, I end up in the corner and the rapid slash pops them awat from the corner. Any way to convert from that?

3. And lastly, after a combo, any slick resets with RS? I imagine calling it before an otg gunshot is strong, but you guys have any specific setups with it? Basically,like vajra or even disruptah, are there any good ways in which RS makes wesker particularly dirty?

I love this team, and I’m def not starting at square 1 with it. But an advice to help maxiize its strength would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

i use this same team. unfortunately, i lose a lot with it because i just cant seem to get good damage with it. but, one setup i like to use is when a character is coming in, ill call vergil, force them to block then go for a command grab. or i call vergil and teleport behind them. or ill mix the two together. teleport behind, dash back under and combo if it hits or go for a command grab.

to connect of disruptor, you cant really wait for it to hit and confirm off of it since the beam is so fast. i call the assist, dash in or teleport then start chaining my normals. if the disruptor hits then i go for the combo. if not then i try to go for another mixup.

for disruptah, a very strong easy mode setup is, dash in cr.L, cr.M and call disruptah samee time, and teleport.
On hit or block you dash towards the opponent. you should be able to confirm with a low L or M on hit, aand on block you can go for a command grab.

I also use this same set up with akuma assist as well, and its much easier to do since tatsu gives you plenty of time to confirm on hit.

how is he as a batery/ is it recommended for a phoenix team?

[Ryu_Shinnosuke]

^ If you are referring to Wesker, then yes, very much so. However, you will not be able to remove his glasses for the speed+damage boost, because you need to save your meter for Phoenix, of course (unless you are feeling very confident have nearly 5 bars when all 3 of your characters are alive; and have to use 1 meter to get rid of a very problematic character/silly anchor, which is still very risky)-- so you will need to take damage if you want the boost…

[Mayho]

just look up fr roachking matches on youtube for examples of wesker/phoenix

How easy is Wesker execution wise to someone like Spiderman? My current team is Spiderman/magneto/Dante and was looking to replace spidey with wesker due to me having trouble getting accustomed to spideys movement.

[Cee_Dizzy]

How does Wesker deal with Vergil? The match-up gotta be like 6-4 Vergil. What can Wesker do to make Vergil free?

My Wesker team is Wesker/Doom/Strider.

I recommend what I call fake zoning you do gun shot and call missiles then as them teleport combo then you just have to bait the teleport

Assuming your Spiderman teams main BNB: cr. L, cr. M, cr. H xxx L Web Swing, j. M, j. M, j. S, j. LMMHS, st. M, st. H xxx Spider Sting H~H, cr. H, S, sj. MMHS, Web zip downforward + Call Dante, land Web throw H or M, TK Maximum Spider

If you replace Spider-man with Wesker: cr. L, cr. M, cr. H xxx Palm xxx teleport, gunshot, cr. M, st. H + Magneto beam assist, S xxx TK Double fist, dash cr. H, S, sj. MMHS, call dante, gunshot, super.

In short, not hard at all.

Hey guys,

I’m new to the game and I’m planning on playing Wesker/Storm/Vergil.

I think Whirlwind+Rapid Slash is going to be a bit redundant, so I’d like to find ways to use Rising Sun instead.

Here’s my problem, though: I can’t think of a way for Wesker to combo off of it because it sends the opponent so high, which kinda thwarts my plans for vicious incoming mixups. It’s a pretty big deal to me, considering those play a huge part in keeping momentum in your favor.
Also, I believe Rising Sun would make my team more complete (easier combo extension, invincible alpha counter…).

Do you guys know if/how Wesker can convert from a hit at such a high altitude?

If it’s really the only way, could you give me a few pointers regarding Rapid Slash use for Wesker (mostly incoming mixup setups and combo extension)?

Thanks!

My Wesker team is Wesker/Doom/Strider.

A few random notes:

A helm breaker that lands at point blank and is not cancelled into a teleport is punishable by L command grab.

Pushblocking the hit before a rapid slash will let you command grab him out of it. Hitting him with a plain normal will obviously yield more damage, but that can be kind of finnicky.

Keep an eye out for super telegraphed j.S’s and helm breakers. Using L counter on those moves is really really easy, and should result in a dead Vergil.

If you can’t kill him with a B&B off a clean hit with at least half a meter and both assists, you’re doing something wrong.

Can Wesker Rhino charge Wolverine’s Fatal Claw?

[eivellordsm2]

Can Wesker Rhino charge Wolverine’s Fatal Claw?

yes if that’s his counter (sorry don’t know the names)

[Seedl]

Okay, so I’m running Wesker/Vergil/Taskmaster right now and I need some assistance with the Joe matchup. My bud is running Joe with missiles and I just have no clue how to get in.

I know that Weskers meta game is pretty much at his height and hes about just about as explored as he can be but…

I was wondering if there is a much more notable combo i could be doing other than…

CRLMH-QCFL-tele-otg-crm-h-wall bounce (either tele hs mmh super or s team super)

or the other ender after wall bounce of dash cr m h s-air follow up.

I’m trying to think if adding in QCF H into my combos would increase dmg and meter build.

Weskers so bland and basic for me and im just trying to find something interesting about him.

I know all of the options out of gunshot otg and how to space with him and just want something new to add to my Wesker game.

Sorry, but do you use Mustang Kick combos often? Ex: L.Mustang Kick xx Dash+Cr.M, St.H (some people just use Cr.M)xx Cobra Strike+L.Teleport, OTG, Cr.M, St. H+Rapid Slash Assist xx Cobra Strike+L.Teleport xx Dash, Ghost Butterfly (wallbounce), S, Air Combo, land, OTG, reset or super, etc… What about the Gun Loop, as well? IMO, these are decent ways to add a bit of swag to your Wesker gameplay, and sorry, I am better at demonstrating combos/resets, than describing/writing them…

Yeah, it’s all good man.

The gun loop is most easily set up after an otg gunshot tech if you think they are going to try to mash H and tech your “attempted throw” which then you counter that by starting air m air h gunshot or air m air s gunshot forgot which variation you use.
