Zeohawk Breaks Down Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3’s Deadpool

Deadpool brings a unique set of tools to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in the form of various projectile options with different angles of fire that can be difficult to avoid, the fastest teleport in the game, and a hyper combo counter where he breaks the fourth wall like only a character of his status can. When all of these tools come together, Deadpool can play one of the most annoying zoning games since MorriDoom.

But using these tools correctly can be difficult since the character is so unusual. Luckily, Zeohawk has taken the time to break down the wise-cracking gun for hire’s gameplay into an easy-to-digest combo guide. The video focuses on using Deadpool as a point character and shows off various options available to him when paired with different assist characters.

If you’re looking to pick up Deadpool or just improve your play with him, this video has a lot to offer.
