Team Setups

Striderine

Pros	Cons
Double the rushdown Consistent, high damage Constant blockstring pressure	Almost no long ranged zoning Meter hungry team

Probably the single most popular team in the competitive sphere, even more popular than Double War Machine. Both characters are strong at constant pressure, and one hit can lead to huge chunks of health gone. It's the combination of the two best rushdown characters in the game (other than Carnage), so while the zoning game will be weak outside of Oruboros, you'll pretty much always get to do something. Your opponent will have to eat this team's pressure at all times, although it's also just as easy for the team to lose all the meter they build. This team is even capable of TOD combos off of Duo Team Attacks.

Combos

Combo	Damage	Notes
Easy Combos	-	-
s.LP > s.MP > s.HP > HP Berserker Slash (hcb + HP)		Wolverine's main BnB to approach with. Simple, easy pressure with rewarding damage that you should get used to doing a lot. Helps lead to many setups for more pressure and combos. A timed assist can cover for him if the combo is blocked, making it a little safer.
Super jump, Head Stomp (air d + MK) > sj.HK, c.LP > c.LK > c.MK > c.HP > c.HK > Fatal Claw (dp + KK)		Just as easy as the first combo, other than maybe the start. Wolverine's other main BnB, which helps give Wolverine solid mix-up pressure.
Intermediate Combos	-	-
j.LP > j.MK, c.LP > c.LK > c.MP > s.HK, sj.LP > sj.LK > sj.MP > sj.MP > sj.MK > AC Finisher
j.LP > j.MK, c.LP > c.LK > c.MK > c.HP > Berserker Barrage X (qcf + PP), c.MP, s.MP		You can add on extra MPs or something else if you are in the corner.
Advanced Combos	-	-
j.LP > j.MP, dash > c.LP > c.LK > c.MP > s.HK, sj.LP > sj.LK > sj.MP > sj.MP > sj.MK, Head Stomp (air d + MK) > sj.HK, c.LK (OTG) > c.MK > c.HK, jump into MP Air Throw		The tricky part here is making sure you are high and close enough after the sj.MK to do do the Head Stomp, sj.HK. Then you will fall to the floor faster then your opponent allowing you to OTG. After the HK, wait a split sec and then jump and air throw them as they fall.
Cornering Strategy: Any ground combo that ends with c.HK, LP Berserker Barrage		Wait a sec before cancelling into the LP Berserker Barrage. It becomes very hard to counterattack if the opponent blocks Berserker Barrage. This setplay loops into itself, after another c.HK, but the timing is very strict. It's an Uncombo maybe? Regardless, practice the timing of it. (Add notes about how to reloop setup)
