All of the Smart Bomb variations work for different assist extensions to his combos. For instance, Deadpool’s Quick Time assist hits so fast that you need to use M Smart Bombs to combo into it, and then after it hits you can do H Repulsor Blast.
A few Iron Man combos:

I’ll be posting more later.
Really fun combos there. Could tell you were maxing out the HSD having to cancel those Repulsor Blasts early into Spreads :tup:
Oh my gawd, sooooo dope.
Went to NEC this weekend and got put into pool 8, the same pool with MarlinPie, Dieminion, MegamanSteve, DragonGod, Unknown and Moons. I was running Wolverine/Wesker/Iron Man all weekend. Went 2 - 2, got eliminated by MarlinPie in losers and lost in winners to the dood who put MarlinPie in losers. Overall it was a dope experience, was getting a lot of compliments on my use of his Unibeam assist. My highlight of my tournament matches was definitely achieving a comeback against Dark Wesker with Dark Iron Man. I didn’t see anyone else use Iron Man, tournament-wise, besides AlukardNY and myself.
Did some training afterwards (or conforming, take your pick) and switched out Iron Man from anchor to second. Wesker’s OTG assist not only helps extend Iron Man’s combos but that high low mix-up makes Iron Man less than linear. I’m gonna try to hit up either The Break and Next Level more frequently to level-up this team. All in all I’m happy with how I did and I really like this team composition of mine. I’m just gonna have to get over me conforming to using Wesker as anchor, oh well.
I’m convinced if they only gave Iron Man his speed back he would definitely be a decent character. Now if they made his dash cancelable as well, he would be scary. A guy can dream.
Those combos are extremely swag.
Allright guys, I need help with two things:
Ideas for Welcome mixups and Resets.
Someone help a brother out.
My team is Dante(Magnus)/Magnus(Dante)/Iron Man.
I’m still running IM on anchor (the other two are interchangeable, hence the parentheses) so solo stuff (also) would be appreciated.
Box dashing (which you can do really low to the ground now) can lead to a double overhead with j:m:.
Tridashing with 
allows for a quick high low mixup since, as soon as you land you can go for a cr.:l:.
Dashing straight down in the corner with a lock down assist may be useful, since it’s pretty fast. This one’s more theoretical than anything else though.
EDIT: Flight cancel is also a viable tool as well for mixup.
This is from what I discovered with Tony in the last few days that I centered on him in training mode.
I hope that helped.
Thanks for the info, you have an awesome avatar btw.
Jumping air backdash is the best way to get instant overheads.
ADD>j.L is Iron man’s fastest overhead. It’s like 13 frames of start-up at most, and it can easily be faked out into a low from how fast Iron man is dashing.
And technically you can instant overhead all of these characters with just jump -> j.L after easy Fuzzy Guard setups like tridashes, Unfly’s or whatever:
[INDENT=1]Nemesis, Sentinel, Dormammu, Magneto, Hulk, Haggar, Nova, Vergil, Wesker, Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, MODOK, Spencer, Super Skrull, Storm, Chris[/INDENT]
Yea no problem and thanks, support the fight against Wesker-cancer. BTW, no one noticed this I think but, if you condition your opponent to block the tridash mixup, you can make use of grabs since Iron Man’s dash pushes him forward.
Yea I noticed that too, but didn’t make much of it at the time.
If we keep dissecting ironman we can make him godlike.
Hey that’s really cool, there may be hope for him yet :tup:.
His high/low game is pretty decent up lose (and moves like his rapid-fire, good range, 5-frame c.:l: help him out here). But the sentiment I’m getting is that it’s going to be hell to get Iron Man into that range, especially when most of his normals have “keep out” style hitboxes.
You pretty much need to have a cover assist like Drones or something if you want to get in people’s faces and pressure them with his high/low game. His high low game is really good, though. ADD j.L’s or cr.L’s are crazy fast. He’s also got instant overheads, fuzzy guard setups and more when he’s close.
If you have them cornered and work in throws? It’s nasty. I can think of very few characters with that many options that all lead to dead characters. Unfortunately, he’s just unable to put them in that position without the assist doing the heavy lifting.
I’ve had good success setting up assist calls using Repulsor Blast. It protects the assist somewhat from stray projectiles, puts a big high priority hitbox out there that keeps people from hitting them while they activate, and then the assist itself protects your recovery and buys you time to get some mix-ups in.
Another great perk of it is that for whatever reason, Advancing Guard does not work on Repulsor Blast. They can advancing guard it, but Iron Man isn’t pushed back. This lets you stay up close and in their face for the mix-ups.
Getting into mix up range is easy… that’s why his down forward air dash covers SO much ground.
Flight+Beam/Arrow assist > DFAD, j2H jS or jS 2M are both godlike and operate from about mid/(3/4) screen for the most part.
Hey guys, I am currently thinking of using one of the following teams:
Deadpool (Quick Work)/Iron Mean (Unibeam) with the third either being:
Nemesis with Launcher Slam, Taskmaster with the Up Arrow Assist, or Dante with Jam session.
I’m trying to fill in the gap that is above Tony’s head. Repulsor blast is good sometimes but I want a good anti air assist. Nemesis Launcher Slam I don’t really think is one, I just seeing if there is a way he’d work in this team. I usually play Deadpool in first, but I think he might be better in anchor slot.
Vajra. IM can even combo off it well with the smart bomb buff.
I’m a big fan of Kamikaze on my teams, but I don’t know any IM specific stuff.
hey guys i recently found out theres gonna be a patch to umvc3. i HOPE TO GOD they fix iron mans dash and bring it back to vanilla status! and on a side no just like the dude max says, get rid of weskers glasses thing. i main wesker and i even think thats redicoulus.
