| == Introduction ==
| |
| The symbiote that would be later known as the Venom Symbiote was created by the dark elder god Knull on Gorr's Homeworld. After Knull was overthrown by his own creations, most of the symbiotes memories would be erased, modified or altered, as Venom itself believed to be part of the 998th generation of a lineage of symbiotes born on the planet Klyntar.

|
| Being discovered by Spider-Man during the Secret Wars, it bonded to him and assimilated his powers into its own genome. Unfortunately, it was later discarded by Spider-Man when he learned it was alive and sentient, as he was disgusted by the idea of permanently bonding to it. Then Eddie Brock, a journalist, who had his career ruined unwittingly due to the actions of Spider-Man, came to Our Lady of Saints Church to commit suicide, the symbiote sensed his anger and bonded to him, forming the villain Venom. Over time the symbiote's bloodlust and hunger worsened until it became too much for Eddie to stomach, leading to them parting ways.

| Venom is a very simple and straightforward character. his easy execution and general purpose special moves make him a great choice for beginners and. his Venom fang is a great move that can catch opponents off guard and allow for crossup mixups. Your normal buttons force your opponent to respect your footsies range since they hit fast and strong. he can also travel through the air really fast with his web swing air dash, and combine that with venom fang and he can dominate through the air. he is great for taking out juggernauts, sentinels, thanoses(?) and pretty much any large character because his moves have a large hit box.

| On the other hand, Venom has few decent defensive options but ultimately struggles. Venom's gameplan is quite predictable if you don't spice it up with assists and he shines mostly when fighting people who don't know the match-up yet

| '''Venom''' is a simple and powerful character to help with learning the fundamentals of MvC2. A character that is great for beginners and can remain viable in higher level play but might rely too much on knowledge checks.
| |
| {{ProConTable
| |
| |pros=
| |
| * '''Easy playstyle''': simple to grasp and understand gameplan without being flowchart
| |
| * '''Big Specials''': Special moves that take up big portions of the screen and last for an extremely long time compared to other characters.
| |
| * '''Fullscreen control''': Good range and monstrous damage potential from any range. Provides an outstanding reward for dealing with an opponent's offense.
| |
| * '''Air dash''': You can dash while in the air allowing for more offensive options
| |
| |cons=
| |
| * '''Predictable''': Some opponents will make your gameplan very punishing and very difficult to pull off if they pick the right characters and read your next moves.
| |
| * '''Big Body''': Being a somewhat larger target means you have to deal with more pressure and mixups than the average character.
| |
| * '''Slow Recovery''': most of Venom's good moves are punishable with good predictions or even just good reactions.
| |
| * '''Defensive Options''': While he has great options, sometimes they aren't enough to deal with a properly layered offense. Especially if it's fast.

| | intro =
| |
| | pros =
| |
| * '''Explosive Damage''': A single touch can lead to death under the right circumstances.
| |
| * '''Big Buttons''': Normal buttons that take up huge portions of the screen and last for an extremely long time compared to other characters.
| |
| * '''Super Armor''': Lets Venom absorb a number of non-heavy hits or projectile before entering hitstun, even when he's an assist.
| |
| * '''Simple Execution''': It doesn't get easier than having a raw super be your optimal punish.
| |
| * '''Heavy Weight''': Venom falls faster than average so he's harder for some characters to combo.
| |
| * '''Ground Throws''': Good range and monstrous damage potential in the corner. Provides an outstanding reward for dealing with an opponent's offense.
| |
| * '''High Defense''': Gives Venom more chances to trade and helps his assists deal with being punished.
| |
| * '''Whiff Punishes''': Headcrush and THC Headcrush allow for some punishes that even the best characters might not have access to.
| |
| * '''Power-Up Glitch''': Turns Venom and his damage potential into a serious threat which demands respect from the entire cast.
| |
| | cons =
| |
| * '''Big Body''': Being a larger target means you have to deal with more pressure and mixups than the average character. You'll be stuck on your back unless you can successfully pushblock or call an assist. Makes Venom easier to combo for some characters.
| |
| * '''Meter Hungry''': Headcrush is your best source of damage but Venom cannot easily build meter for himself.
| |
| * '''Low Mobility''': Venom must rely on his assists to help deal with runaway. Body Press might work in a pinch but tends to be unsafe.
| |
| * '''Slow Recovery''': Basically every single move Venom can perform is punishable. All of them are punishable on whiff, most of them on block, even some of them on hit.
| |
| * '''Defensive Options''': While Headcrush and Super Armor are great options, sometimes they aren't enough to deal with a properly layered offense. Especially from above.
| |
| * '''Power-Up Glitch''': Predictable. Some opponents will make changing characters very punishing and very difficult.

| |
| | [[file:lp.png]] Earthquake Punch || Venom Headcrush | [[file:lp.png]] Earthquake Punch | Very easy to use when extending an opening hit into a full combo. Does a decent amount of chip. Not very much range or damage potential but provides a lot of pressure once you're in.
| |
| | [[file:hp.png]] Venom Punch || Venom Headcrush | [[file:hp.png]] Venom Punch | Very popular assist because of the damage potential. Sends the point character flying, which typically ends your combo unless you're in the corner. The super armor can help blow through your opponent's offense.
| |
| | [[file:hk.png]] Body Press || Venom Headcrush | [[file:hk.png]] Body Press | [[file:high.png]] One of the only assists in the entire game that has to be blocked high. Can be used as an anti-air or to create an unblockable mixup. Very long recovery so Venom needs a little extra protection compared to his other assists. Has no super armor once Venom is in the air.

| === Combos ===
| |
| | |
| Note: Venom is only allowed a 2 button chain unless he is super jumping so his combos tend to follow a very simple path. Adding to that limitation, a solo Venom can only combo a ground chain into the following buttons:
| |
| * Standing [[file:mp.png]]
| |
| * Standing [[file:hp.png]]
| |
| * Crouching [[file:mk.png]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Your bread and butter. Easy to perform under pressure and, even unmashed, will seriously damage any character when Venom has the Power-Up glitch. If you have the meter, unless you have a specific plan for it, it's highly recommend you just pull the trigger any time you land a hit.
| |
| <pre> c.LK > s.HP xx Headcrush</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| A simple, meterless combo. Low damage but can be useful for dealing with assists that might be preventing some other combos.
| |
| <pre>[Close] c.LK > s.LP xx HP Earthquake</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Your strongest, inescapable, meterless combo. Will send the opponent flying which will cause a flying screen dash for you, which can be potentially fatal for Venom depending on the matchup.
| |
| <pre>[Close] c.LK > s.HP xx LP Venom Punch</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| A simple way to scramble for damage off of an accidental c.HP.
| |
| <pre> j.HP \/ c.HP xx HK Body Press</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Rollable. The strongest, meterless option off of a sweep. Either strength Venom Punch will connect but LP is safer when the opponent rolls.
| |
| <pre> c.LK > c.LK xx LP Venom Punch</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| F + HP is a pretty lackluster move in this game but it might be useful as a meaty in the corner. Also note that this is a superjump cancel, not a jump cancel. Instead of holding up to leave the ground you have to return to neutral, then down, then up.
| |
| <pre> (Corner) [Close] F + HP /\ sj.LK > sj.MP xx LK Body Press</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| The dash-in is crucial. A high damage, unrollable route for midscreen Venom Punch.
| |
| <pre> j.HP \/ d.s.HP xx LP Venom Punch</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Meterless style combo for the corner. Builds a ton of meter compared to your other combos. Flying screen is set so you really can't get any more than this. You have the option of leaving the final hit off which forces your opponent to roll into the corner, allowing you to continue your pressure.
| |
| <pre> (Corner) j.HP \/ c.HP /\ sj.LK > sj.MP > sj.HP > sj.HK \/ c.LK > F + HP</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Rollable. The most damaging, midscreen combo Venom has access to.
| |
| <pre> j.HP \/ c.LK > c.LK xx HP Venom Punch xx Headcrush</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| This combo allows for Headcrush to be mashed a little easier than others due to the spacing. Useful for when you find yourself without Power-Up glitch and need a little help getting the full 8 hits on Headcrush.
| |
| <pre> (Corner) j.HP \/ d.s.LK > s.HP xx LP Venom Punch, c.LP xx Headcrush</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Rollable. The only possible damage extension after a midscreen ground throw. Works with either throw. Doesn't work on heavy characters.
| |
| <pre>Throw, HP Venom Punch xx Headcrush</pre>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Venom's answer for people putting him in the corner. Venom has surprisingly amazing juggle potential after a throw into the corner which makes this combo pretty forgiving to execute. Works with either throw. Doesn't work on heavy characters.
| |
| <pre>Throw /\ j.LK > j.HK \/ Headcrush</pre>
| |
| | |
| === Strategies ===
| |
| Venom offers the most utility as an assist. With no real options for dealing with runaway a lot of matchups are going to feel like a struggle. Venom is slow, easy to cross-up and combo, uses meter far better than he builds it, everything he does is relatively unsafe and expensive to protect, and he has no super armor in the air. However, Venom has one thing that changes him from an annoyance into a problem, the Power-Up glitch.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Your first goal with Venom is to activate his Power-Up glitch as soon as possible. The fewer bars of meter the opponent has when you change to another character, the harder it will be for them to punish you, especially if you change to a character with high vitality. Once glitched, your assists offers game-changing amounts of damage and your Headcrush threatens to one-shot many popular assists.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Your second goal with Venom is to land his assist as many times as possible. Venom has a lot of health but he's not invincible, his large size means it's going to be harder for him to avoid damage so be ready to protect him when your opponent retaliates. A glitched Venom Punch can kill any assist in 3-5 hits instead of 5-7 hits which makes counter-calling your opponent's assists a powerful, meterless threat.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Your third goal with Venom is to land his Headcrush as many times as possible. Headcrush is pretty easy to combo into from most of Venom's normal buttons, but landing that initial hit can sometimes be difficult. The best buttons to approach an opponent with are probably going to be jumping [[file:lk.png]] and jumping [[file:hp.png]]. A throw when near the corner often turns into a guaranteed Headcrush and a potential touch of death with the right assist. The THC Headcrush is unmashable but has a faster startup than a normal Headcrush allowing for monstrous whiff punishes. A DHC from a better point character into Headcrush can turn a stray hit into a potentially favorable match.
| |
| | |
| | |
| === Cyttorak Power-Up Glitch ===
| |
| The Power-Up glitch increases the damage for Venom on every attack, not just the very next one. The glitch only needs to be performed once per match unless you accidentally deactivate it later. To activate the glitch Venom needs to Power-Up, then change to a different character without finishing an attack or otherwise canceling the effect. If Venom isn't flashing when he leaves the screen then the glitch probably wasn't executed correctly.
| |
| | |
| When Venom is brought back into play and uses Power-Up again the glitch is deactivated.
| |
| | |
| | |
| When attempting to setup the glitch, the following moves can be whiffed without removing any of the Power-Up effect:
| |
| * [[file:df.png]] + [[file:hp.png]]
| |
| * [[file:qcf.png]] + [[file:a1.png]]
| |
| * [[file:qcf.png]] + [[file:a2.png]]
| |
| | |
| Venom will remain flashing if any of these moves hit, but he will not have the increased damage. Also, performing an additional Power-Up in this state will not give the increased damage back. In this exact situation, the only way to be sure you're gaining the damage increase is to remove the original flashing effect by using any other attacks, then performing another Power-Up.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==== THC Headcrush ====
| |
| The normal Headcrush is one of Venom's most consistent and punishing threats. The THC Headcrush, on the other hand, has some interesting differences that bring some much needed depth to the table. THC Headcrush is unmashable which might mean less damage up-front, but is Venom's fastest attack by a huge margin. This extra speed allows it to punish basically everything your grounded opponent might consider safe and has the added benefit of being unblockable in certain situations.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===== Unblockable THC =====
| |
| Having Venom on your team grants you access to the THC Headcrush, even when he's an assist, abuse it if you have the meter and your team allows for it. With Venom as an assist you can THC and his Headcrush has a chance to be unblockable as long as your opponent isn't already in blockstun and you are relatively close to them. This works because THC Headcrush will reach the opponent before the super freeze signals that the opponent can block, but frame skip is what ultimately decides if the Headcrush will connect.
