Story

Captain Commando is the leader of Team Commando, a team set to destroy crime on Earth and across the galaxy. He wields the Energy Gloves, allowing him to shoot bolts of fire and electricity. He uses other gadgets and tools, along with his three companions - Sho, Genity, and Hoover - throughout his game to save the world from evil.

In Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Captain Commando is a decent character on point. His ability to use projectiles is good, though not great, and his combos can be a little lackluster. However, he holds arguably the best assist in the entire game, with his Captain Corridor anti-air assist. Many top teams pick Captain Commando purely for the power of this assist, and it's the reason why he stays relevant in the meta. A fantastic choice for beginners due to the ease of use of his assist.

Gameplay

Captain Commando is usually the dedicated anti-air assist of many top teams. On point, he's not that great, but his assist more than makes up for this.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Captain Corridor: Captain Corridor, his anti-air assist, is argued to be the best assist in the entire game. If you pick Captain Commando, you should ALMOST ALWAYS be picking this assist. It's also not a bad move on point, as it's fast, high damage, and invincible. Good blockstrings: Captain Commando's blockstrings can be pretty good, and combined with assists like Sentinel drones, they can be decent in length. Good projectiles: While not amazing, Captain Fire, Sho, and Genity can be good for controlling space. Moderately easy guard break: Snapping an opponent out and calling Genity as they come in can guard break them, leading to a very good punish on incoming. Easy to DHC out: Captain Sword starts up pretty quickly, and it's not a bad idea to super when far away and DHC to swap out. Team Hyper Combo: Captain Sword covers an area many supers don't cover, and a THC allows him to cover this area for you.

Poor mobility: On point, CapCom is pretty sluggish. Unreliable supers: Captain Sword be iffy in certain connects, will sometimes not work properly if hit in certain places on screen, and Captain Storm can be ducked, leaving you very punishable. Considering Captain Sword is his main super, it being unreliable really hurts him. Cannot hitconfirm launcher: Commando cannot do two hits into his launchers, he must do only one hit, which gives no time to confirm.

Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

Crouching medium punch, but you can do it raw. Has over double the damage of the normal move though, and gives the same sort of half-launch.

Throw (Punch)
4/6HP // or +

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
15 (Genity), 16 (Sho, Hoover)	-	-	-	N/A
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Throw	None	-	-	-
Commando grabs his opponent and tosses them up in the air, as Sho, Genity, or Hoover will attack them. Genity does 1 less HP of damage, but launches them higher. The selection is random. Hold backwards to throw them backwards.

Throw (Kick)

Throw	None	-	-	-
Commando grabs his opponent, and shocks them with his gloves. Mash for more damage. If you mash hard enough and the opponent does not mash at all, it's possible to do an absurd amount of damage with this throw (all the way up to doing 100%). Hold backwards to throw them backwards.

Special Moves

Captain Fire
QCF+LP or HP // + or (Air OK)

CAPTAN FI-YAH!

Air version.

Colors are not accurate, hitbox is.

Hitbox slowly expands as the projectile advances.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
16	16	-	48 (Ground), 33 (Air)	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	None	-	-	-
Commando points his fist forward, and spews a plume of flame. Can be done in the air. Does decent damage, though more of a keepout tool (and not a great one at that, but passable).

Captain Corridor
QCB+LP or HP // + or

First frame of startup.

CAPTAIN CORRIDOR!

Many of these stacked on top of each other.

Hitbox shrinks as the move stays out.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
22	10 (LP), 11 (HP)	18	59	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	None	-	-	-
Commando winds up, and slams his fist into the ground, sending up a massive column of energy. This is Captain Commando's best special move, as it's fast, invincible, and does a ton of damage. It reaches the very top of the screen instantly, so the only way to get through it is to jump through before Commando does the move. Becomes vulnerable on the 8th frame.
