just want to mimick the motions to insult your opponent even more. But being
an auto super it will only work if if connects and Wolverine will stop if the
opponent blocks leaving him open to attack. It moves extremely quick and will
go full screen's distance, not only that it has high priority and will go

Introduction

Wolverine is an offensive menace with great neutral, pressure, and combos. On the ground, the ability to cancel his 5MP into crouch allows for an infinite or powerful pressure situation any time he connects with a light. In the air, you're not safe either, as Logan has exceptional conversions into infinites on air hit as well. In neutral, he boasts high speed on the ground, a solid suite of powerful normals, great anti-airs, and a tricky mobility option in Drill Claw. With a dp on defense and two very powerful supers to round everything out, Wolverine is an excellent character in all theaters.

  • Crouch cancels also give him godlike offense

5HP is without a doubt on of Logan's best attacks. Can be used defensively to counter pokes, advancing opponents, and even jump-ins because it covers the whole area in front of him. Launches the opponent horizontally on hit and has enough pushback on block to be safe. If I had a choice, I would rather put 5HK in combos to enable air combo followups.

This is a great double hit in combos, and will push you pretty far away if blocked, preventing a lot of counters. The second hit will not come out unless you actually make contact with the enemy.

Wolverine's Regular Launcher, and you should always follow with an Air Combo or at least a Tornado Claw. It's decent as an anti-air, but otherwise its range is limited and very bad on whiff. Stick with it in combos.

Launches too far away on hit to provide any good followups midscreen, you just get Drill Claw into nothing. Has great range and can be used to slip under projectiles.

Great air-to-air and Logan's most reliable jump-in. Cancel into jHK for a jump-in combo if you're fighting a large enough character (not Spider-Man, Psylocke, or Wolverine himself).

Greater horizontal range than jHP, making it useful as an air-to-air when that won't reach. Because of it being quite horizontal it isn't as good as jHP for jumping in, unless you're jumping in real deep. Against taller characters, this will sometimes hit twice, though not as often as in CotA. If blocked, this also has slower recovery and you can be quickly countered by an uppercut or Infinity Counter.

Very long range and knocks down long enough to enable an OTG followup. A threatening neutral option.

Divekick

Divekick. Wolverine will bounce away on block or hit, though it is not totally safe from someone dashing up and punishing. It has great speed, so it is ideal as a counter if you are mid distance away in the air and the opponent throws just about any ground attack. Also useful in combos as it can be done during a Magic Series.

System Mechanics

Uf you're anywhere near the corner, you can follow it with a Claw Slide or sometimes an OTG combo. If you mash MP and back/forward, Logan will claw faster for more damage.

HP Throw
6/4 HP

3*n, 5 1 1 0

- N/A Throw N/A

Because of the kick-off at the end you cannot follow this up. It also appears to do the same damage as the MP throw, so that's the better of the two. As with the MP throw, tap back/forward and HP repeatedly and you'll get more hits/damage.

Air Throw

Use it as you please, it does the same damage as the ground version. I believe it can be put into some Air Combos as well, but remember it can still be teched.

Activated automatically when you activate the Power Gem.

His old Shadows from X-Men: CotA. when the Gem is activated, mirror images of Wolverine trail behind him for a time. These images are invulnerable, but can attack, effectively multiplying his hits in a combo. In addition, Wolverine is sped up considerably, giving some moves decreased recovery.

Mash this attack for more hits. It has good recovery time and aside from the fully-mashed H version, it's safe due to pushback. High damage, high chip, high meter gain. This can be used in combos or OTG. Only the fierce version can be OTGed afterwards.
