UMVC3/Taskmaster: Difference between revisions

From SuperCombo Wiki
(Made page much prettier, add meter per attack, added some descriptions, added some adjustments planning to add more at a later date)
(Added More Information, Player Table; Readded the phrases he shouts, improved syntax dramatically, added a lot of icons, slightly better punctuation.)

Although he does not have any actual superpowers, Tony Masters was seemingly born with an enhanced form of photographic memory called "photographic reflexes". After witnessing a person performing any physical movement, Tony is able to replicate it perfectly. He eventually created the persona of Taskmaster, working as a mercenary and using his unique ability to mimic the combat styles of superheroes and other notable fighters. While he is primarily depicted as a villain, Taskmaster is motivated mainly by money and has been shown to fight alongside heroes when it is in his interest to do so.

'''In UMvC3''', Taskmaster is an all-arounder who has moves thematically borrowed from Hawkeye, Captain America, and Spider-Man, paired with a handful of original abilities. Taskmaster is slow - both his mobility and his attacks have poor speed, but he has solid range on his sword attacks and a versatile moveset. He uses Aim Master ({{clr|L|2}}{{clr|M|3}}{{clr|H|6}}X) to fight from a distance, and can blow through his opponent's own projectiles with Shield Skills ({{clr|H|4H}}). Although they are difficult to use effectively, Taskmaster also has several Counter skills, as well as an Unblockable via the followups to his Sword Master ({{clr|L|6}}{{clr|M|2}}{{clr|H|3}}X) special.

His dashing animation is somewhat unique in that he spends the first 5 frames stationary, then starts moving. As a result, plink-dashing slower than usual for other characters is optimal.
His dashing animation is somewhat unique in that he spends the first 5 frames stationary, then starts to accelerate. After the first few frames, he lowers his body (and hurtbox) while moving meaning he can potentially dodge aerial attacks, dash under opponents during incoming or aerial opponent in blockstun from assists.
[[File:Taskmaster Running & Standing.png|thumb]]
<br> As a result, plink-dashing slower than usual compared to other characters is optimal (because he accelerates later in its animation).

THC Hyper: Legion Arrow {{clr|L|L}}+{{clr|M|M}} (Horizontal). Taskmaster is unique in that all three of his assists are different versions of the same move. Regardless of the assist choice, Taskmaster's assist will be a variant of his Aim Master special, firing three arrows. The assist choice only changes the trajectory of the arrows. Additionally, Taskmaster's THC Hyper is always Legion Arrow, but the assist choice will alter the trajectory of the hyper's arrows to match that of the assist.

THC Hyper: Legion Arrow {{clr|L|L}}+{{clr|H|H}} (Upward). Taskmaster fires his arrows almost directly upwards. The arrows reach roughly superjump height, then arc and spread out, falling back down towards the ground. The farthest reaching arrow will land a little farther than halfscreen distance. This assist stands out from the other variants in that it can hit OTG on the way down, although it is typically too slow to use this way in combos. It is also a rare example of an assist that can (technically) hit opponents at superjump height.

Any physical hit (hyper or otherwise) in this state will activate a cinematic where Taskmaster deals significant damage to the opponent, ending in a Hard Knockdown that he can follow up with Legion Arrow OTG. Aegis Counter is useful as a counter-call to an opponent's physical hypers, including otherwise invincible ones like Spencer's Bionic Lancer. This is also useful as DHC tech, since Taskmaster can be brought in to protect a character who would otherwise be hit.

Revision as of 10:02, 7 January 2023


Introduction

Although he does not have any actual superpowers, Tony Masters was seemingly born with an enhanced form of photographic memory called "photographic reflexes". After witnessing a person performing any physical movement, Tony is able to replicate it perfectly. He eventually created the persona of Taskmaster, working as a mercenary and using his unique ability to mimic the combat styles of superheroes and other notable fighters. While he is primarily depicted as a villain, Taskmaster is motivated mainly by money and has been shown to fight alongside heroes when it is in his interest to do so.

In UMvC3, Taskmaster is an all-arounder who has moves thematically borrowed from Hawkeye, Captain America, and Spider-Man, paired with a handful of original abilities. Taskmaster is slow - both his mobility and his attacks have poor speed, but he has solid range on his sword attacks and a versatile moveset. He uses Aim Master (236X) to fight from a distance, and can blow through his opponent's own projectiles with Charging Star (4H). Although they are difficult to use effectively, Taskmaster also has several Counter skills, as well as an Unblockable via the followups to his Sword Master (623X) special.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Above Average Health: Taskmaster has an higher than average health pool allowing him to weather a significant amount of chip damage in lengthy projectile battles, and can require opponents to spend additional resources in order to kill him.
  • Range: Many of his attacks are disjointed and allow easier follow-ups from assists.
  • Support: Assist provides respectable lockdown while having higher total durability than many common assists, giving Taskmaster's team an advantage in projectile battles.
  • Flexible Projectile Hyper: The unique ability to aim his projectile hyper makes him especially versatile for DHCs, and he can contribute significant damage to almost any DHC chain.
  • Poor OTG Options: Throw Conversions requiring assists or X-factor to combo into.
  • Limited mixup potential: His Unblock-able setup is always escapable with good pushblock timing.
  • Needs Teammates or Extra Meter for Big Damage: Taskmaster has mediocre damage outside assist extensions or extra meter,and has poor damage with high scaling starters like throws.
  • Non-piercing Projectile: Arrows only hit the point character or the assist in neutral,and requires different relaunch combos for Happy Birthdays.
  • Committal options vs. Airborne Opponents: He has limited to Aim Master and Web Swing against Aerial Opponents.
  • Sluggish Mobility: He is slow both grounded and airborne making it difficult for him to keep up with more mobile characters.
  • Ugly Colors except Alt

Unique Mechanics

His dashing animation is somewhat unique in that he spends the first 5 frames stationary, then starts to accelerate. After the first few frames, he lowers his body (and hurtbox) while moving meaning he can potentially dodge aerial attacks, dash under opponents during incoming or aerial opponent in blockstun from assists.

Taskmaster Running & Standing.png


As a result, plink-dashing slower than usual compared to other characters is optimal (because he accelerates later in its animation).

Chipdamage.png

THC Hyper: Legion Arrow L+M (Horizontal). Taskmaster is unique in that all three of his assists are different versions of the same move. Regardless of the assist choice, Taskmaster's assist will be a variant of his Aim Master special, firing three arrows. The assist choice only changes the trajectory of the arrows. Additionally, Taskmaster's THC Hyper is always Legion Arrow, but the assist choice will alter the trajectory of the hyper's arrows to match that of the assist.

L Assist fires the arrows directly, horizontally forward. It is the most traditional and straightforward to use. It also recovers the fastest of the three.

This assist is notable because its total durability across all three arrows is 9, which is slightly higher than many similar-coverage assists like Doom's Plasma Beam or Iron Man's Unibeam. If called at roughly the same time as one of these assists from the opponent, Taskmaster's arrows will completely nullify the beam, with one surviving arrow still able to hit the opponent.

Aim Master M

THC Hyper: Legion Arrow M+H (Parabolic). In this version, Taskmaster fires the arrows at a slight upwards angle. They travel through the air at roughly jump height and then start to arc back towards the ground.

Chipdamage.pngOtg.png

THC Hyper: Legion Arrow L+H (Upward). Taskmaster fires his arrows almost directly upwards. The arrows reach roughly superjump height, then arc and spread out, falling back down towards the ground. The farthest reaching arrow will land a little farther than halfscreen distance. This assist stands out from the other variants in that it can hit OTG on the way down, although it is typically too slow to use this way in combos. It is also a rare example of an assist that can (technically) hit opponents at superjump height.

Ground Normals

Stand Light
Builds 384 Meter
5L
UMVC3 Taskmaster 5L.png
L
L.png 		Damage Startup Active Recovery
48,000 5 3 10
On Hit On Block Guard Properties
+2 +1 Mid.png -

5L has minimal uses other than being a situational anti air.
Compared to 2L, 5L has slightly higher damage, safer on block and on whiff, but has a worse hit-box.
His 5L resembles Captain America's 5L.

Stand Medium
Builds 640 Meter
5M

M
M.png 		Damage Startup Active Recovery
40,000 x2 8 2(1)3 17
On Hit On Block Guard Properties
0 -2 Mid.png -

5M is a double-hitting attack making it great against armored attacks and has a large amount of hit-stun making it the best for hit confirming into combos.
5M's 2nd swing hits high making it decent anti-air but the only combos reliably into Charging Star (4H).

Stand Heavy
Builds 720 Meter
5H
UMVC3 Taskmaster 5H.png
H
H.png 		Damage Startup Active Recovery
90,000 11 3 20

Taskmaster steps forward slightly giving 5H more range compared to 5M allowing for easy pickups from assists.
5H links perfectly into Charging Star (4H).
Note: The Tip of 5H has minimal combo potential only linking into Single Arrow Aim Master (236L).


Crouching Light
Builds 360 Meter
2L
UMVC3 Taskmaster 2L.png
L
D.png+L.png 		Damage Startup Active Recovery
45,000 5 3 14
On Hit On Block Guard Properties
-2 -3 Low.png -

2L has great range for a light normal, and is very fast at 5F startup.
Can be thrown out to fish for hits with relative safety. 2L lowers Taskmaster's hurtbox very slightly compared to just crouching, although it is not low enough profile to evade under projectiles.

2L's animation is based on Captain America's 2L.

Crouching Medium
Builds 520 Meter
2M
UMVC3 Taskmaster 2M.png
M
D.png+M.png 		Damage Startup Active Recovery
65,000 8 3 19
On Hit On Block Guard Properties
-2 -4 Low.png -

2M is Taskmaster's longest low attack. 2M is also a low-profile attack allowing Taskmaster to evade underneath many attacks that he cannot normally avoid by crouching or using other normals.

2M's animation is based on Ryu's 2M.

Crouching Heavy
Builds 640 Meter
2H

2H launches them perfectly into Web String, Web String can miss if 5H is used because the opponent has a low profile crouch like Zero or Morrigan.
Note: Not a low.

2H's Animation is based on Felicia's 2M.

S launchers opponents into the air and can be a situational but unsafe anti air.
It's possible a cancel this move into Aim Master (2369X) using Tiger Knee Input Tiger Knee Input 2.0.png or Guard Master (2147X) using Reverse Tiger Knee Input Reverse Tiger Knee Input 2.png.

Launcher's animation is based on the beginning of Captain America's Star's & Stripes.

j.M is used in many combo extensions and as combo filler. When comboing with this move, keep the opponent slightly below as j.M has a large hit box under his leg.

j.M's animation is based on Spider-Man's j.M.

Jumping Heavy

j.S is a downward slash with a large hitbox in front of Taskmaster, and if it's used as a combo finisher should hit opponents with the early hit, slightly above Taskmaster.

j.S is potentially the best aerial to land with as it does great damage while being single hit

Command Normals

Web Swing
Builds 640 Meter
Mighty Swing!!!
6H

On Hit On Block Guard Properties
+7 -6 Mid.png Chipdamage.png, Airok.png, Strk.png

Taskmaster swings from a grappling rope, advancing forward while kicking. This is the closest thing Taskmaster has to real aerial mobility, and allows him to maintain pressure or extend combos. Web Swing (6H) can be performed on the grounded or airborne. The grounded version puts Taskmaster airborne, and he will recover from the move in a normal jump state.
Taskmaster can only perform the aerial version of Web Swing once per jump state.
Taskmaster can cancel Web String (6H) with:

  • Air Normals (j. LMHS) is essential to extend combos with Taskmaster and to transition into overhead attacks for pressure.
  • Aim Master (623X) is used in some combo routes, can be used to advancing forward while covering himself with arrows, and can be use to shift momentum (if Taskmaster is swinging away from the opponent, the Aim Master input with turn him around mid-air effectively shifting his momentum).



Web Swing's animation is based on Spider-Man's Web Swing.


Charging Star
Builds 760 Meter
Shield Skillz!!!

- -15 Mid.png Projnull.png (frames 4-18), Strk.png, Chipdamage.png

Taskmaster charges a short distance forward while protected by his shield. Like with Web Swing (6H), it is an advancing attack that can be used to approach and as a combo tool. Charging Star (4H) also has a fairly good hitbox and has a fairly good chance of beating or trading with an opponent's physical attacks as well. Taskmaster is immune to low and medium priority projectiles (even unconventional attacks like Flame Carpet) during most of this move's duration, although not quite from frame 1.

Taskmaster can cancel Charging Star (4H) (on hit or whiff) with:

  • Launcher (S) is used confirm into air combos, although Taskmaster will sometimes sideswitch with the opponent when doing this.
  • Sting Master (236S) should be used vs. grounded opponents to improve safety as Sting Master is safe on block, and works at a combo finisher.
  • Aim Master (623X) allows him to move forward while controlling space, and is used during X-Factor to loop in the corner.
  • Guard Master (214X) has no notable uses.

Charging Star's animation is based on Captain America's Charging Star.

Taskmaster pulls out a bow and fires one to three arrows. This special can be charged by holding the button. Charging causes Taskmaster to fire additional arrows. In most cases, the charged version is preferable, as the additional charging time is compensated by a faster recovery, and the charged version has much higher total damage and durability. Aim Master can be performed in the air.

This is Taskmaster's primary tool for long-range combat, and paired with assists is sufficient to zone out slower characters.


Button strength mainly alters the trajectory of the arrows.

  • L version is a direct horizontal shot. The 3rd Arrow of the fully charged version hits all characters crouching or standing.
  • M version fires at a slight upwards angle that eventually arcs down. While airborne, M version fires at a down-forward angle instead of up-forward.
  • H version is fired directly upwards, and then suddenly arcs back down to the ground at superjump height. While airborne, H version is shot directly down towards the ground.

Aim Master's animation resembles Hawkeye's Quick Shot (Hunter).

Taskmaster enters a defensive stance, in which he can counter certain attacks depending on button strength. On a successful L/M counter, Taskmaster and the opponent are pulled into an animation where Taskmaster deals moderate damage to them, ending with them knocked down a good distance away (similar to Sting Master 236S, this animation is invincible and ignores projectiles and assists).

  • L Version counters Mid or Overhead attacks, cannot counter hypers or assists.
  • M Version counters Low attacks, cannot counter hypers or assists.
  • H Version is a projectile reflector. It will cause regular projectiles to be reflected back at the opponent (and can deal full damage to them), while beams will instead be nullified. Unlike the physical counters, this version can be used to defend against assists, although it still can not negate hyper projectiles.

If the counter sends an opponent into the corner, Taskmaster can follow up with a Tiger Knee Tiger Knee Input 2.0.png Legion Arrow (2369M+H).

Sting Master (236S) is a hitgrab (blockable) in which Taskmaster stabs directly ahead with his sword. If it hits, he and the opponent are pulled into an animation in which Taskmaster deals one additional hit, ending with the opponent in a Hard Knockdown next to him (this animation is invincible and ignores projectiles and assists).

Sting Master can be canceled from Charging Star (4H), and is safe on block making Charging Star (4H) safer to use in neutral.

This move is useful as a combo ender for Taskmaster, as he can capitalize on the Hard Knockdown with Jumping > Fully charged Aim Master (236H) > Legion Arrow (236L+H), which will deal heavy damage as an OTG.

Taskmaster readies himself, then delivers a large arcing swing with his sword. Despite the animation, this move is not an overhead, and can be blocked standing or crouching. Sword Master is mainly notable because each version has a special follow-up sequence available when the initial Sword Master hit is blocked. These follow-up chains include Unblockable attacks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to access these follow-ups on hit or on whiff, and an opponent can always Pushblock the initial hit to escape the follow-up sequence, so these attacks are very rarely useful.

The button strength determines the distance traveled before the downward swing:

  • L Version stands in place.
  • M Version moves quarter screen.
  • H Version moves half screen, and has the most follow-ups.

The follow-up sequences for each move are detailed below.

Taskmaster draws his bow and fires a barrage of up to 50 arrows, dealing heavy damage. This hyper is unique in that Taskmaster can aim the arrows by using different two-button combinations to activate the hyper:

  • L+M: On both the ground and in the air, the arrows are shot directly forward.
  • L+H: On the ground, the arrows are fired at a slight upward angle, hitting opponents at jump height. In the air, this version is fired at a down-forward angle instead, and can hit OTG.
  • M+H: On the ground, the arrows are fired straight up. Upon reaching superjump height, they suddenly arc back down to the ground, landing in the area immediately in front of Taskmaster. In the air, Taskmaster fires straight down, attacking the ground below him. Both the grounded and air versions of this variant can hit OTG.

Due to the amount of arrows, Legion Arrow can over-power other multi hitting projectile hypers like Doctor Doom's Photon Array and Sentinel's Hyper Sentinel Force.

This hyper is Taskmaster's standard combo ender, and is also an important zoning threat as Taskmaster can use it to tag extra damage on to a regular arrow hit, or to punish an assist call.

Like other supers Legion Arrow can trade with Snapbacks due to 1 frame startup after cinematic.

Counterattack hyper. After the hyper flash, Taskmaster is in a counter state for 25 frames. Any physical hit (hyper or otherwise) in this state will activate a cinematic where Taskmaster deals significant damage to the opponent, ending in a Hard Knockdown that he can follow up with Legion Arrow OTG. Aegis Counter is useful as a counter-call to an opponent's physical hypers, including otherwise invincible ones like Spencer's Bionic Lancer. This is also useful as DHC tech, since Taskmaster can be brought in to protect a character who would otherwise be hit.

Aegis Counter can not activate on assists (even if the assist is a physical hit) or projectiles, and thus Taskmaster is still very vulnerable to these attacks, as well as throws. Opponents can potentially use its super flash to cancel the attack, making this counter more unsafe compared to normal counters.


Activating Aegis Counter will cause Taskmaster to shoot the opponent behind him, sending them flying across the stage in a Hard Knockdown.
Taskmaster can follow up with:

  • Midscreen

Jump (at the peak) > Legion Arrow (236M+H).
Dash > Assist Call > Web Swing (6H) > Single Arrow Aim Master (236H) > Start your combo.

  • Shot into corner

Team Position

Taskmaster is a versatile character that could reasonably be placed in any team position. Although is is most commonly placed in the Point position, Second and Anchor Taskmasters have also seen success. Taskmaster's assist is solid, although rarely the best assist on a team, and he can provide support for his teammates in the backline via that assist or by utilizing his solid DHC options. Taskmaster is a solid choice for activating X-Factor, as it can compensate for his naturally mediocre damage output (especially after throws), and also makes his projectile game into a legitimate chip damage threat.

Anchor Taskmaster has a hard time making timely solo 1 vs 3 comeback since his mix up game isn't fantastic.


Notable Synergies

Sentinel: Sentinel Force (Charge) is a generically strong assist that Taskmaster greatly benefits from having access to. Taskmaster has two approach tools in Spidey Swing and Charging Star that are actually fairly minus on block, but Taskmaster can compensate for this weakness by calling drones alongside the attack, allowing him to approach (or retreat) safely. Additionally, Sentinel assist allows Taskmaster to follow up after his OTG Hyper, as the drones will continue to juggle the opponent after the hyper ends when spaced correctly.
