New Anakaris Player
Hey. I use to play MvC2 a lot but quite and now my friends from college are getting back into it. I’m kinda new to Anakaris and I was wondering what Anakaris’s unblockable setups were. Also, are there any infinite combos which don’t start off with hint from Anakaris + launcher? Can you combo into the Storm and Cyclops infinite? Thanks in advance.
Same here… I forgot how you do the infinite without assist and the unblockable when people just came out of the screen.
Besides doing the cobra super, is it not better to do the coffin super when you are in the corner? I am just looking for a simple but very damaging combo.
BTW, I am going to play Ana, storm, psy. What do you think about that?
Does anyone one know were to get combos or match vids of the Japanese Anakaris master: Chikyuu?
Pyramid drop, dash low short forward, stand fierce, B-F+fierce is a solid B&B. If they’re standing up, you can do B-F+PP super instead for good damage.
Your team is alright. Psylocke is a good assist for Anak. It ensures he has to jump as little as possible. You NEVER EVER EVER want to jump with Anak when you can avoid it. You can fart on him and guard break him. He also has a one-frame DHC which is always nice (B-F+PP into hail).
Here is the deal:
Anakaris+Storm+Psyclocke
The reason why I wanted to play this team is because of instant overhead. Well the thery goes that Anakaris and storm need a little protection… Hence the idea of Psyclocke. However Psyclocke and Storm can do a nice instant overhead. Anakaris and Storm can also do one too (i.e. see Zaza combos). Moreover Psyclocke can handle a lot of characters on her own. That’s MY theory… the problem is that the overhead Psyclocke and Storm is harder than I expected… Moreover this team is not very good against Sentinel. If this monster is sitting right above me and keep on doing HK in a corner, I am pretty much doomed.
Anakaris+Storm+Cyclop
So I came up with the idea of playing this team. Instead of Psyclocke, you use Cyclop for the infinite with Anakaris. However I feel MY Cyclop is a very lousy character. Besides the nice priority of j.HK, all his combos are much harder. I rather use Psyclocke. However this guy can help me fight sentinel.
Anakaris+Storm+Capcom
Why this team? Well my theory turns around Sentinel. I want to beat that bastard. So the idea is that Capcom will keep Sentinel either a little far or trying to block my assist, Capcom. If he run a little far, I jump and grab him. If he blocks, I jump and do LK, LK, bf HP, grab HP. Capcom is also pretty good against cable. However I seem I don’t have anymore Cyclop for the infinite.
Hence my latest question: Can you do the infinite of Anakaris with Capcom? If yes, how would that work?
c.short + capcom, c. fierce /\ sj. curse?
And which assist do you prefer?
don’t forget that you can also do a curse infinite with Psylocke AAA.
its as simple as Anakaris/Dhalsim curse infinite but Anakaris/Psylocke requires fast movement and really good timing.
c. lk, c.hp (call PSYLOCKE AAA) ^ sj. hk(moving away) "apply some timing, lk curse.
that’s one of my teams… but I prefer Anakaris/Son Son for anti-sentinel and Son Son AAA is a big help for Anakaris Unblockable setups. Son Son AAA also helps Storm a lot!!! I’ll soon have my own video matches against my comrades using my Anakaris based teams…
I tried the infinite with Anakasis and Cyclop but I keep on missing my target. The opponent was way too low for the curse to hit.
I did: c.LK, c.HP+call cyclop /\ j.LK, curse LK
Anyone knows what could have gone wrong?
Since I am a complete scrub, can you tell how to do some unblockable moves with Anakasis?
PS: I am looking forward for your video.
I guess the unblockable lies into your opponent jumping, you calling Sonson standing on the ground, and grab your opponent while he is blocking Sonson.
Ok now I am thinking about a weird strategy. Please tell me if it would work out. If I were Sonson, and my opponent just fell on the floor, could I just call Anakasis assist (grab) and sonson would wall climb, and press kick? In theory, my opponent would have to block high and would not be able to block Anakasis grab. Then I would keep on doing that non stop… like an infinite. And if they decided to take the hit of Sonson, I would do the basic c.LK, c.HK /\ LP, LK, super staff, uppercut HP for more damage. And if they jump, I would normal jump and do uppercut (which is this unblockable because he just block two normal jump attacks) into super stick.
yes4me, it will be good, but not that advisable to keep on using it especially when they know it already. Beware of Cable and Sentinel for that. i’ll try what you were trying to imply… but I just can’t really do it against Cable because hardcore players here in my place already new my Anakaris/Son Son well.
About the Anakaris/Cyclops infinite, here’s my setup:
If you are cornered or in the middle of the screen, you should be moving towards the opponent after the launcher(during super jump) but moving away if the opponent is cornered:
c.lk, c.hp (call cyclops) ^ sj. lk, sj. mk, (assist hits), lk Anakaris’ Curse
i like anakaris as a mess around character, his stone outfit is really pimped out 
too bad his normal jump and stamina sucks. anyway heres some combos i use
launch, jab,short,strong super cobra rush, this is a VERY damaging combo, from 50-near 70 percent life gone from cable. instead of inserting a cobra blow just go right into the super while the opponent is next to you, and mash out coffins. dhc from something like storm hail and the opponent is in serious shit lol.
dash jab, jab, super cobra rush, dhc from that (ironman proton cannon or sent drones works well)
corner combo, launch , jab, short, strong, jab cobra blow, jab, jab cobra blow, jab mummy wrap (takes a good amount, more than 50 percent life without using a super bar)
i’ll try to come up with some more combos later :evil: that was after one night of practice lol
also you can call assist from a superjump, while youre in superjump after throwing some coffins or whatever, do f, df, or+rh (the pyramid move), then airdash, you can call assists on your way down after that.
edit, heres a couple more combos
dash jab, jab, f, lk, fp (anakaris transforms) slap them silly. im pretty sure this combo works on everyone, the trick is to dash while jabbing, you cant do normal jab, jab super. the third hit is anakaris launching to the air, obviously you have to do this really fast but its quite easily and very fun to watch :evil:
storm/anakaris
launch with storm, magic series, lightning attack XX lightning storm, cancel immediately to fk, lp, d, lk, fp super. dont let them start falling, and it connects perfectly. it really does alot of damage, if only the OTG was guaranteed afterwards it would be a near 100 percent life combo on cable :eek:
Okey, here are some of my matches with my friend who excels more on using OMEGA RED…

ENJOY!!!
nice vids! good to some some anakaris reppin lol, i’ll try to get mine in shape i think hes a pretty damn good character. in the first vid shows alot of what hes about.
-dont use normal jump alot. i think i only saw you use it once, obviously its not a good thing to do with that slow jump
-use his dash to get in. when you first start messin with anakaris and his dash looks pretty dumb at first. but its very fast and when you cancel into attacks he can literallly drop anywhere on the screen. it was cool how he just breezed by doom aa and attacked omega, hehe.
cool sets up like air combo , sj. jab, jab cobra block, rh (blocked) and then grab. i dont think the opponent can escape that unless they eat the rh.
also theres a sequence later in the game its something like dash d+short, d+short then an immediate jump df+rh (the piramid) how did you do that? :lol:
ok lemme watch vid 2 now, my connection is slow at home :bluu:
edit vid 2
nice AC combo! i definately gotta steal that one, i swear i didnt even you could do that super in the air :lol:
as usual, anakaris only gets hit by omega red when he normal jumps, his jump is so :lame: i think its what turns people off to this character immediately. d+fierce punch really shines in this match, that move stops alot of rush down.
on to vid 3
ok checked the 3rd vid, no anakaris 
but have you ever thought about using the team anakaris/ironman/sent? thats my current anakaris team that im working on, i think its a pretty solid team.
Very nice vids and nice use of anakaris.
Anakaris has some crazy normals, probably the most unexplored char in the game.
That’s soo cool. All my current favorite characters(Anakasis, Omega, Ruby) are there!! Thanks a lot.
I am not sure how to play very well Anakasis, Omega… well I just started playing these guys, but this is really cool to get an idea what I should do. Looking forward for more vids…
thanks for your appreciation on my Anakaris… These are my very first batch of MVC2 Anakaris videos online!!!
honestly… my Anakaris or the performance of my Anakaris-based team is better in an Arcade rather in a Home Console like PS2… because I don’t have a console in my home. I only practice in the real arcades. Omegaredish (my opponent that you saw in my posted matches) invited me to record some matches with my Anakaris against his teams, he’s very good with Omega Red!!! Oh yeah, He already knew my Anakaris’ weaknesses…
btw, i’m just an average Iron Man and Sentinel user.
devilx,
i liked the way you analyzed every movements of my Anakaris…regarding with your question in the first vid… I simply just jump and do a FAKE pyramid rush, which does’nt hit storm… then quickly did a ground chain…
i agree that Anakaris’ c.hp almost owns all rush directly above him.
team anakaris/ironman/sent? I haven’t used it yet but I’ll try and soon have a match with it… then make it also downloadable online!!! I’ll call my friend omegaredish again later, maybe the next few days.
NEXT TIME, I’ll tell you all if i’ve got new matches… especially against Cable or the other god tiers… SOON!!!
this is devil x
how do you combo the rh, jab, down, lk, fp super in an aC? i seen the vids but the super cancel is too slow for me is there a technique to doing it or do i just need to do it faster? i have slow hands :lol:
anyway, with anakaris/ironman you can hit a dhc to proton cannon anytime you throw someone on the ground and have 2 meters. if you also chose sentinel and have 3 meters, you cancel proton cannon to hyper sentinel force and opponent is pretty much dead off of one throw.
also ironman AA protects anakaris nicely from rushdown. its only useless against cable but you really dont need aa when facing cable. against magneto when he rushes in you could do stuff like standing RH (which avoids all lows) +ironman, throw a coffin near you, that would be difficult to get through, hehe.
standing rh is a very underrated move! you cant hit anakaris low for a long period of time. if someone comes in for a quick dashing low hit standing rh, fp cobra blow XX super. if they come through the sky, use d+fp, hes got an OK defense with those two moves right there :evil:
also with ironman hes got beef up combos like dash +jab+ironman, short, strong, forward (ironman hits twice) launch, short, strong, b,f+pp (super) mash snakes out. since ironman AA always brings your opponent back to you, this sets up the super cobra blow super nicely since youre near the corner, they eat almost 60 snakes each time :eek: thats like 70-80 percent life using only one super bar, and if you have storm dhc behind that its an automatic kill.
you can also do infinite with ironman AA
launch+ironman, ub+rh (immediately) cancel to pharohs curse, repeat.
anakaris can really do damage! keep the vids comin
NEW VIDS!!!
http://gamefaqs.servebeer.com/omegaredish/list.html
but today… I only got one vid uploaded. I didn’t win in this match. And if you’ll wonder with my storm especially in the last scene of my match(not connecting LA xx LS) I’m doing a reset and I’m having difficulties on the controls in doing the storm reset.
In my match against AL3X(Cable/Sentinel/Cyclops), i’ve shown how ANAKARIS beats SENTINEL… just check it out.
BTW, my opponent is one of the TOP players here in the Philippines. IMO, he’s in my top list.
:eek: Ok, wow, this thread changed from ‘anarkis isn’t that great’ to ‘he rocks’ the last time I tried learning this game, anarkis had next to no following, now two of my fav. characters are considered very highly, now I think its a great time for me to play this wonderful game. However bear with me here … as I am still learning the ropes by a huge margin.
Right, what is the viability of removing the ‘main stream’ caracters from the team, I notice a lot of setups leading into his infinate, wich is obviously very viable. But I see a lot about anarkis having control of the game. Forcing the opponent to move to were he wants them to move, via coffin drops etc etc.
What is the viability of say …
Anark \ Sent \ BlackH
Would this be a viable keep away game? I play against a LOT of main stream players here, magneto infinates for africa and being a complete :lame: n00b its very hard for me to keep up, however sent has me completely facinated … as has ana and black but wat I want to know would be does anyone have any ideas on how I could work, say, this team, ideas? Good or Bad team, etc etc.
And can someone explain to me why everyones goin on about Tron, so much about Tron here, is she an excellent assist? And if so is she a viable character to use during a battle. I see a great deal about Sonson also (sonson\anak) I’m sorry for being a n00b but can someone dumb this down a bit for me till I get some vids? ( at work, gotta get home )
