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.

Fast disjointed light.
Very fast and if you're
going for hits and priority this is a great combo start. Can be
used as an anti-air if the opponent is jumping in around eye level. If it
connects in this case, follow up with 5HP, or 5HK into
Tornado Claw.

The money maker. Its recovery can be completely cancelled by crouching, for some reason.
This enables an infinite with (5LP > 5MP > crouch > dash forwards) * n.
It also makes Logan's offense very difficult to contest if you block even a single light.

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.

Greater horizontal range than jHP, making it

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.

in the game as Wolverine engages in an auto 12 hit combo that ends with a
Weapon X slash. This is visually impressive and like the Final Justice you
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
through any projectile, it even catches Blackheart out of his Armageddon. It
has a bit of a start up delay and cannot be comboed, unless if you OTG with
this move, but for one measely hit though. This is the prime counter against
missed attacks and supers.

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.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Crouch cancels also give him godlike offense
  • Has several infinites, all of which are very easy to route into
  • Amazing damage even on hits where he can't infinite
  • Very fast, while also having a divekick and Drill Claw to aid his mobility
  • Very good normals
  • A tool for just about any situation
  • Just all around good

Values in parentheses are for when you cc. The money maker. Its recovery can be completely cancelled by crouching, for some reason. This enables an infinite with (5LP > 5MP > crouch > dash forwards) * n. It also makes Logan's offense very difficult to contest if you block even a single light. All around great move.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
