Marvel vs Capcom 3/Super-Skrull

Super-Skrull

In a nutshell

Super Skrull is a very deliberate character that generally needs to make precise choices to win. He has a very unique command grab that lets him nab you from very far away, and one that grabs you out of the air as well. Skrull coming at you from behind an assist can be pretty scary. He also hits pretty hard, and his playstyle feels very rewarding very quickly.

Strategy

Tips and Tricks

• When Skrull is on point using Assist Y, the Tenderizer, his THC move (Skrull Torch) become a zero frame attack at very close range. This means that if you aren't already blocking when the super flash occurs, you've already been hit.
• Follow behind slow moving assists, like Doom's rocks or Sentinel's drones. Grab your opponent's before they even get a chance to block these projectiles. If you think they are going to jump back, use the anti-air Elastic slam.
• Carefully punish projectile users with Meteor Smash, and cancel it into a super for damage.

Basic Strategy

Getting In

Skrull has a variety of ways to close the distance on his opponent, and an answer to almost any situation, making him one of the more versatile characters in the game.

Wave-Dashing

Wave-dashing is a straightforward method to get in. Skrull's dashes are quick, and he can cover ground fairly quickly. It is important to keep in mind that attempting to wave-dash too quickly will result in a Tenderizer, and leave you wide open for a counter-attack, so be careful with this. Be sure not to become too predictable, especially if your opponent knows what's coming.

Air-Dashing

Skrull's air-dash is unique in the sense that he travels in an upward arc. Once Skrull's air-dash is over, he has no horizontal mobility.

Canceling the Air-Dash

The air-dash can be canceled with:

• Skrull Smash ({{#motion: d + h }}) - This move causes Skrull to shoot straight down quickly and cause a ground bounce if it connects, which you can then dash in and follow up with a combo.
• Charged j.{{#motion: s }} - Also stops his horizontal movement, and has incredible range, often crossing up. The move is safe on block, unlike the Skrull Smash, and can also be followed up with a combo. The downside is that it has a huge startup time, and opponents can often stuff it with projectiles/supers/etc.==
