UMVC3/Hulk

Hulk

After accidentally receiving a dose of Gamma Radiation, physicist Bruce Banner gained the ability to transform into the Incredible Hulk whenever he is made angry. Bruce has no control over this transformation and is absolutely unable to control the Hulk himself. Hunted by those who fear his power, the Hulk eventually joined the first iteration of the Avengers until he realized his teammates did not trust him either. The Hulk is considered one of the most powerful being on the earth and was even sent to exile once by the leaders of earth’s greatest heroes.

In a nutshell

Hulk is a brute type character that relies on armored moves to make his opponents regret pressing buttons and grabs once his foe is conditioned. If you like to bully other players and make them afraid to press buttons, give Hulk a try.

Strategy (Beginners)

Tips and Tricks

Hulk's standing medium and hard attacks have 1 level of super armor, giving those attacks the ability to plow through an offensive opponent. His Impact Punch and Gamma Charge have super armor as well.

Hulk's Gamma Crush hyper is invincible for the entire start it, making it safe to use and great for punishing an opponent who is not cautious enough with the advancing attacks. When the Gamma Crush connects on the way up and on the way down it is one of the most damaging single attacks in the game and it isn't even a level 3 hyper attack.

Hulk's Gamma Wave can be used to poke at an opponent from a distance, easily get a hit on incoming assists and even nullify certain projectiles. These can be used in rapid succession when timed properly.

Gameplan

Hulk's standing hard attack causes a ground bounce which opens the opponent up for heavy damage. Because of this attack's super armor it will often be used to catch the opponent off guard or while the are initiating an attack. This attack is not safe when guarded due to the large amount of recovery time. This can be negated by canceling the standing hard attack into a Gamma Charge or anti air Gamma Charge combined with a 2nd Gamma Charge hit to either gain ground or run away to safety.

Opponents fighting against Hulk will often find themselves guarding a lot. This is what you want them to do. When an opponent is guarding on the ground then you can use the light or medium Gamma Tornado instead of the standing hard attack for a command throw. If the opponent is guarding while jumping in on the hulk then the hard Gamma Tornado will catch the opponent. Mixing up between standing Hard and Gamma Tornado is one of the best tactics the Hulk has.

Another way to take advantage of the hard Gamma Tornado is throwing multiple Gamma Wave attacks at the opponent. This will usually cause them to super jump towards the Hulk allowing for a well timed hard Gamma Tornado to catch them out of the air. After the opponent hits the ground from the Gamma Tornado you can then followup again with another Gamma Wave (so make sure you're charging it as soon as you release the opponent from the Gamma Tornado.

Strategy (Intermediate-Advanced)(WIP)

Normals

Command	Screen	Strategy/Notes	Demo1	Demo1 Caption	Demo2	Demo2 Caption
{{#motion: L }}	File:Hulk 5L.png	Hulk's standing jab. Same startup as crouching{{#motion: L }} and this move is often used to continue combos (ie j{{#motion: M }},j{{#motion: M }},{{#motion: L }}), but it's large hitbox can somewhat be used as an anti-air or punishing tool (ie blocked uncancelable footdive) or even as a crossunder midscreen! Crouching{{#motion: L }} is usually the better move for CQC situations though.	File:Hulk Lcrossunder2.gif	Standing crossunder	-	-
{{#motion: M }}	File:Hulk M.png	Standing {{#motion: M }} has armor from frames 3-15, the fastest armor in Hulk's repertoire. For confirm/combo purposes it has considerable hitstun and can chain to Impact Punch for massive damage. Standing 's high & forward reaching hitbox can also anti-air linear approaches. Unfortunately standing {{#motion: M }} doesn't have the all around reach of standing and it's hitbox will whiff on all but 20 characters when they are crouching, somewhat limiting it's use on grounded foes. It can be canceled to special moves, which opens up some options.	File:Hulk Mwhiff.gif	Be careful if they're crouching!	-	-
{{#motion: H }}	File:Hulk H.png	An infamous normal in UMvC3, standing not only has a huge hitbox that can potentially smash foes behind Hulk (when hurtboxes permit), but it's groundbounce/hardknockdown properties gives Hulk ample time to confirm an action afterwards, sometimes even on trades! As it's armor doesn't start until frame 6, the move isn't necessarily going to save Hulk in every situation. As it moves Hulk forward slightly, standing is worth empty canceling (or "Kara") into other moves. For instance, Kara- into G.Tornado will effectively increase it's range and fool foes who were expecting to block (this works especially well when you condition foes to block by bullying them with Hulk's armor and low). Standing also serves as an option select for Hulk's ground throws, making Hulk one of the most dangerous start of round characters!	File:Hulk Hhitbox.gif	Large area of effect.	-	-
	File:Hulk dL.png	This move should see some use in Hulk's neutral, as it's his only low. Although crouching's 9f startup may seem undesirable compared to the average 5, it's range somewhat makes up for it and Hulk can follow it up to even more frametraps (for instance, it can be chained to standing heavy or canceled to G.Charge(AA)H-H). Ideally you are using this move to catch foes attempting to jump when covered by a lockdown assist.	-	-	-	-
{{#motion: M }}	File:Hulk dM.png	Crouching is good for continuing a ground chain combo started by and won't have the same problem with some crouching characters as standing. It's real value lies in the fact that it moves Hulk forward almost a character length, which open up some shenanigans Hulk can initiate more effectively than with standing. A good one is for when Hulk has the foe on incoming: if their character has poor air options Hulk can safely call a lockdown assist and use crouching to sandwich them between him and the assist for a tricky crossup!	File:Hulk karaMhcb.gif	Kara- G.Tornado	File:Hulk karaMcrossunder.gif	Kara- crossup
{{#motion: H }}	File:Hulk dH.png	Crouching is faster for covering the immediate area in front of Hulk than standing, but it doesn't hit low and doesn't have the far range of Hulk's armor moves. It does a large amount of damage, but not as much in combos as standing into Impact Punch (although it can extend after G.Wave OTG on some characters). It lowers Hulk's hurtbox a bit, but that alone won't warrant using this move all that often.	-	-	-	-
{{#motion: S }}	File:Hulk S.png	Hulk's launcher. Although the hitbox and speed aren't bad, it is too unsafe on block to use for those purposes. For combo extension is a possible followup after G.Wave OTG in the corner for optimal damage, or for when an assist is unavailable; although the spacing for doing so will typically be considerably harder than just doing G.Charge(AA).	-	-	-	-
(Charge) {{#motion: M }}	File:Hulk fM.png	Impact Punch is a new addition for Hulk in UMvC3. Hulk can hold the charge to trick foes into attacking, only for it to be absorbed by the armor. Another use for holding the charge is as a Kara cancel to G.Tornado. When fully charged, Impact Punch will force a wallbounce on hit.	-	-	-	-
