I was wondering, why do I always read that Wolverine is so good? I know one reason because of his dive kick, but what else? Haven't been in much marvel action in a while.
*Easy access to an IMPERCEPTIBLE 50/50 left/right cross up that can be converted into high damage. He has access to this WITH NO RISK if he has an assist to hit confirm with or he has meter to make it safe or confirm it with.
*Berserker Slash is invincible on start up allowing it to by pass pretty much anything in the game. Combined with his fast dash and dive kick, Wolverine has no problem getting in and staying in. Berserker Slash is a huge component in making zoning pretty much non-viable in this game.
*Easy VERY RELIABLE bread and butter combo that combos off of pretty much any situation. Damage is solid on it given that there is no part in the combo where you are pressing more than 2 buttons at once...
*Every option of Wolverine is safe and those that aren't he can easily make safe with Berserker Charge.
*Since his BnB doesn't have a lot of hits in it as compared to other characters, it doesn't scale that much and this holds true in X Factor too. His general damage scaling is not that much meaning he does OBSCENE damage in LVL1 XF that guarantees a kill on connection. The high damage off of X Factor fuels his meter to obscene levels as well.
*Air throws can be confirmed with an assist into a full combo (X factoring will kill character). Ground throw can be OTG slide, X factor into character death.
*The X Factor LVL1 boost on Wolverine is so good that he can kills the first character easily in the 10 second time AND can start a combo on the incoming character killing him with some X factor juice remaining.
*Dominant cr.L with instant overhead on his j.L and j.S on big characters. j.L needs an assist to hitconfirm though.
*Combining his dominant air throw game, imperceptible left/right mix up, ability to stay in and by pass anything, high priority attacks like the dive kick and instant overheads... Wolverine is THE best character in the game to have when you have to kill an incoming character. When you kill the first character with LVL1 X factor, you have some left over to touch the next one killing 2 in the process and by that time you have enough meter to LVL3 the last character.
These are just a few of his Pros. Cheap doesn't even begin to describe Wolverine in this game. I feel dirty and nasty for using Wolverine.
