Yep, it's Wolverine yet again! I can say one thing about Wolverine....if you pick him, then you'll probably win! This is because of his great speed, the number of combos that he has and the fact that he has a healing factor! Yep...he's got one! If he switches out of battle...he can recover so much more of his life than the rest of the characters! I would've thought that Capcom would tone him down like they did with Cyclops but noooo!! They made him even better! He's actually got two more supers that he didn't have before! A good philosophy with Wolverine is to just jam on the buttons and learn a few of his combos that cancel into supers! Doing that will turn you into a gaming God in the eyes of the naive! A good Wolverine player can beat just about everyone! He also has a lot of cheap tactics too in case you're into that sort of thing....Good character for newcomers and cheapasses!

Berserker Barrage +P
Wolverine rushes forward while slashing his claws! This move combos very well and takes off a lot of block damage! The range is also very good because he rushes forward while doing it! Jam on the punch buttons to get more hits out! Recovery time depends on the strength of the button used! Fierce takes forever to recover, but Jab has almost no recovery time!

Tornado Claw +P
This is Wolverine's Dragon Punch move! He jumps up and starts spinning around with his claws popped out! This move is really hard to block since he flails around so much and it's good for combos! However, this move is not a good way to win with Wolverine cause it does a pitiful amount of damage and the recovery time is simply horrible! If you miss with this move, then expect to eat super!

Drill Claw hold a direction + any punch + kick
Wolverine sticks out his arm and flies straight toward his opponent! This move is very fast and versatile! It will catch opponents by surprise very often! You could use it as a Dragon Punch kind of move if you're directly under your opponent, or as an air attack if you're directly over them! Keep in mind that the kick you use must be a different strength than the punch! So LP+MK will work but not LP+LK! If you hit the wall while doing drill claw, do the command while hitting the opposite direction and he'll immediately rebound off the wall!

Berserker Barrage X +2P(Level One)
Wolverine slashes wildly with his claws while rushing toward his opponent, hitting them eighteen times and sending them flying! This is one of the fastest supers in the game! It will also combo right after every normal move that he's got in his arsenal! It comes out lightning quick, so it's great for punishing mistakes and missed moves! It does good damage and is hard to push, so it's safe to use a lot! Watch out if they jump over it though! If you're in the corner, then you can keep on hitting Strong punch to get more hits in there!

Weapon X +2P(Level One)
Wolverine crosses his arms, pops his claws and dashes toward his opponent! If he connects, he does a nasty combo which ends with him slashing in the shape of an X! Really visually impressive and it takes off an incredible amount of damage! It even goes through fireballs, and will catch your opponent in their fireball stun! However, it does not combo off of anything so you've basically gotta use it as a surprise or to punish mistakes! Jam on the buttons and move the joystick around to get more damage out of it!

Fatal Claw +2K(Level One)
Wolvie hops into the air and releases a throbbing wave of energy from his body in the shape of an X! This move simply hurts!! It takes off almost half of an opponent's life bar if done correctly and it can even be comboed! This is just wrong! What is up Capcom?! This move is simply unfair!! When did Wolverine ever have this ability in the comic books?! He can do it in the air but it does not air combo, thankfully! If you see your opponent jumping in on you, do this move and they will get hit! This is because Wolverine jumps slightly forward as it begins and he'll end up behind his opponent! I've found that it is impossible to block this tactic because you'll have blades of energy coming at you from all sides! Unfair!!

Berserker Rage +2P(Level One)
Wolverine slashes in the air and a whole bunch of other mirror images trail slightly behind him! During this time, he is two times as fast as normal! Combos that aren't normally possible can be done while he's in a rage! You can even be really cheap and repeatedly slash with fierce punch! In my opinion though, this leads to a very cheap match because while in this mode, his super meter charges up very very quickly! When the super runs out, a Wolverine player can execute the super again and again until his helpless opponent is dead! This is cheap!!!! Anyone who does this is a pathetic desperate bastard who really has no skill or sense of sportsmanship! You know who you are! Capcom! If you keep this super in your future games, make sure that it's really a rage and make Wolverine lose the ability to block! That'd even it out!

Berserker Barrage MP+MK
This is an ok team attack because he does good damage but the problem is it's slight recovery lag! It leaves Wolvie open if it totally misses and both your characters can get pummeled! However, if it connects, he slashes at the opponent for a good period of time and your other character might be able to pull off a quick super!

Tornado Claw HP+HK
This is an ideal counter because it's a Dragon Punch! Just don't try to counter any beam supers with this cause both your guys will get trashed!

Berserker Barrage X HP+HK(Level Two)
This a pretty good super for a team attack because the opponent gets stuck in Wolverines claws so he doesn't knock him away from your partner's attack! It also starts out very fast and will almost always connect if you take them by surprise! It is also fast enough to combo! Ouch ouch ouch!

I gotta say, Wolverine is a character with very little weakness! He just about dominates and excels at every aspect of the game! However, a big problem that he has is the fact that he does not have a projectile attack! Against fireballers like Ryu, Akuma and Cyclops, he could have a problem with block damage! If they do nothing but throw fireballs, then anticipate when they will throw one and pull off a Weapon X! Wolvie will plow through the fireball and hit them while still in their stun!

Another character that could give him major trouble is Mega Zangief! The zombified Russian can stop him in the middle of any of his combos and drain half of his life with an FAB! The only way to take Mega Zangief on is with the Fatal Claw! It does insane damage and it's very difficult to grab him in mid-air! The Berserker Barrage X works fine but he can be grabbed in the midddle of the move and the Weapon X doesn't work against MZ! The Berserker Rage will work a little bit but remember that Mega Zangief doesn't get stunned so don't keep on repeating the same move on the ground against him!

Though fireballers give him a hard time, Wolverine's worst enemy has got to be Chun-Li! She is almost as fast, she's got higher throw priority than he does and she has an invincible air defending move! Winning with Wolverine requires a lot of jumping in but Chun-Li's S.Roundhouse will always beat him out! So will a well timed S.Forward by Shuma, C.Fierce by Dan and a C.Fierce by Hulk! Stick to ground combos when up against them! However, Chun Li can take him on the ground as well! Her C.Forward has good range and is extremey fast and she is often able to hit Wolvie before he can attack her! Finally, for all you cheap ass that like to use the Berserker Rage infinite, Chun Li has a triple jump and can stay in the air for a very very long time! By the time she hits the ground, you probably won't have enough time left on your super to do a lot of damage on her!

Finally, there is Blackheart! Yes, the heir to the throne of Hell is really tough to beat with Wolverine because of the fact that Wolvie has no projectiles whatsoever! He's forced to constantly dash or jump in and he will get hit by those demons that Blackie constantly throws out! Also, Blackie's air attacks will outprioritize Wolverine any day! To beat him you've gotta exploit his weak points! Hit him with a Weapon X every time he messes up an Inferno or Armageddon and try not to get hit by the demons! His size will help you set him up for air combos! Being a non-Wolverine player, I always have Blackheart on my team to kick some Feral ass! Hehehe....it's so unexpected! However, the fact that Blackheart loses life very quickly, a few powerful combos will usually kill him...:(
