Not very effective on airborne attacks, its main strength is range. Not only can you counter a lot of horizontal attacks, but you can also counter a lot of projectiles. For example, blocking Captain America's Strong Shield Slash from mid-range will allow you to retaliate with this and it should connect. Mind you, it is IMO better to counter with a dashing combo. I think personally that ICOs should be for jump-in attacks only, because you can easily put in any combo or quite a few Special Moves after blocking attacks with the same amount of proficiency. Mind you, this would be easier to counter a lot of REALLY quick recovering attacks with this, like Hulk's standing Jab...

Gem Ability

Activated 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. As well, Wolverine is sped up CONSIDERABLY, allowing you faster recovery on some moves (i.e. you can get in even more Jabs or Strongs in a combo).

Special Moves

Berserker Barrage

This has been a very effective move throughout the Marvel series and it still is. This move will do alot of damage and depending on which strength of button you use will determine how many hits you get afterwards. It has good recovery time and extremely hard to counter, that is if you don't use the Fierce version after rapidly hitting that punch button. This move will do alot of block damage and even if the opponent does block it will gain his Infinity Guage pretty quickly. This can be used in combos or OTG. Only the fierce version can be OTGed afterwards.

Tornado Claw

An excellent anti-air attack that does alot of damage and is just as easily comboed as his Berserker Barrage. The recovery time is pretty decent for an anti-air attack. This move has good horizontal range and chips good damage, the jab version should be used the most since it has the least amount of recovery time and its pretty hard to counter.

Drill Claw
Any direction + PK

An excellent move to use overall, mainly because it does a lot of damage and can be used as an AC Finisher. Watch if Wolverine misses with his move though because he will sorta coil back and be left open to attack. This move comes out very quickly and can easily be put in combos like his other moves. It can also be used as a surprise attack and Wolverine can use this in the air in any of the 8 directions. Also serves as Wolverine's Infinity Counter, which can be executed with 412P.

Infinity Combos

Berserker Barrage X
236PP

On Hit	On Block	Guard	Invuln

A very lethal super mainly because it comes out so fast and does alot of damage. It comboes just as easily as his other special attacks and has good range and should be used to counter missed supers or even missed Jabs. It does decent block damage and hits 12 times and can be OTGed after if in the corner. You should mainly use this in combos rather than to wait and counter. The recovery time is pretty bad and he can be countered. The priority of this move at start up is pretty high, but during the latter part he can be knocked out of it and he is still vulnerable to projectiles.

Weapon X

An immensely painful super that does a TON of damage, even more so than the Final Justice. It ranks up there with being one of the most powerful supers 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.
