Special Moves

Shoulder Cannon: QCF + P/K (also in air; P version only)

Unlike Iron Man's Unibeam laser in MSH which can target both ground and crouching, War Machine can shoot his lasers as P targets standing and can be used in the air and K targets crouching only.

Repulsor Blast: HCB + P

War Machine unleashes a projectile his palms as it aims upwards and when it hits, the opponent is drawn closer to War Machine.

Smart Bomb: MP + LK (also in air)

War Machine unleashes two bombs from his shoulders. Holding a direction enables on how far the bombs will be shot.

Flight: QCB + Kx3 (also in air)

This command allows War Machine to use his jetpacks and has the ability to fly around the screen.


Hyper Combos

Proton Cannon: QCF + Px2

War Machine summons in a giant cannon which shoots out a laser which nearly takes out near full-screen.

War Destroyer: QCF + Kx2

War Machine summons in a jetpack-like weapon which aims a barrage of missiles up then targets down to the opponent.

Team Setups

Double War Machine

Pros Cons
  • You get to play both War Machines
  • They cover each other's weaknesses especially well
  • Disgustingly high damage and health
  • Duo Team setups deal extreme amounts of chip damage
  • Not as effective without Duo Team
  • No one will like you
  • You're not Iron Man

As the name implies, you get to play not War Machine, not Gold War Machine, but both War Machines at the same time! Two top tiers in the same team, what could possibly go wrong? Essentially, you get two characters with very high damage, health, armor, great tools across the board, there's very little the team doesn't have. Them being on the slower side won't matter much, though, because the minute this team is given enough meter to initiate a Team Duo Attack, the player can setup some truly nasty scenarios. These setups, which tend to give almost zero room to escape, can lead to the opponent losing up to 50% of their health off of CHIP DAMAGE. This puts them at a huge life lead, or otherwise make a swift recovery. They still need to attempt to win the rest of the match if it doesn't kill, however.
