Introduction

James Howlett, sometimes known as Logan or his code name Wolverine, is a character from the X-Men series by Marvel. A mutant with an incredibly fast healing factor and martial arts mastery, as well as his trademark adamantium claws from the Weapon X program, Wolverine fights for the X-Men as a brash lone wolf to protect the world from villains.

In Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Wolverine is the epitome of a grounded rushdown character, with incredible movement, frame data, and freedom in his magic series. Wolverine has one of the fastest ground dashes in the game, a great wavedash, and many forward advancing special moves to lock the opponent down with chip while assists can continue your pressure. Wolverine's buttons are very fast, and usually pretty safe on block, as well as having a nearly full magic series, which makes his stagger pressure very good. He also has some decent air mobility too in his wall jump and Drill Claw. He also has his ace, the Berserker Charge, which gives him a temporary speedup, making both his movement and frame data even faster.

The main problem with Wolverine is his pitiful stamina. Wolverine takes way more damage than most characters, meaning he will die far faster than most. Wolverine is also somewhat weak to pushblock and invincible assists, as he has no real way to stick to his opponents safely. He also has no projectile and struggles greatly against zoning characters, and characters with great keepout game. Still, Wolverine is a good choice for someone who wants to work their way in, and then mix their opponent to death with constant buttons. If you like a fast paced, high octane grounded rushdown character, then sharpen your skills with Wolverine.

Ground Normals

Light Punch
5

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a quick stab with his claw. Fastest normal in your kit, and becomes tied for the fastest normal in the game when in Berserker Charge. Great normal for starting pressure and checking with a quick poke, though it's range is a little small.

Medium Punch
5 after a or connects

This only comes out if you hit MP again.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard

Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine swipes with his claw. Combo filler. The first of three buttons to have a unique followup by pressing the button again. MP's is ok, but generally makes the series have too much pushback to be useful, so reserved for niche situations.

Heavy Punch
5

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a double claw swipe. Enormous hitbox with a ton of priority that knocks the opponent away on hit. In Berserker Charge, this can be looped with dashes for an extremely damaging combo. Great normal, but it's a bit unsafe on block, so use with caution.

Light Kick
5

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a leg kick. Pretty good range for it's speed.

Medium Kick
5 after a , , or connects

This only comes out if you hit MK again.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a knee. Combo filler medium. The second normal in your kit to have an optional followup. MK's is pretty nice, as the followup will basically never miss due to having 0 frames of startup and lower pushback. Scales the combo though, so be cautious about what routes you use this in.

Heavy Kick
5

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a two legged upward kick. Your main launcher, and can be comboed into after 2MP but not a whole lot else without risk. Good, but not great.

Crouching Light Punch
2

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a low claw stab. Hits much further down than 5LP, so will never miss a crouching opponent, but it's not as plus nor as fast as 5LP.

Crouching Medium Punch
2 after a or connects

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does an upward claw swipe. Pops the opponent into the air toward Wolverine. One of the only normals that confirms into 5HK, so it's useful for when you want to hitconfirm launcher. Very slightly unsafe on block, so can be punished if used recklessly.

Crouching Heavy Punch
2

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine flips toward the opponent and does a double claw swipe. Moves Wolverine forward before startup, so can be used for tricky crossup situations. In combos it has pretty poor hitstun, so it's best to avoid this unless you have an assist to help.

Crouching Light Kick
2

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a low kick. The slowest light in your kit, but it hits low so it's pretty important.

Crouching Medium Kick
2 after a , , or connects

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a two hit sweep. Unlike most characters, 2MK is Wolverine's sweep, which helps and hurts him in their own ways.

Crouching Heavy Kick
2

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Wolverine does a lunging kick. Knocks the opponent away like 5HP, but moves him forward during the attack. Has some niche uses but overall pretty ok.
