Ask the Random God of Mvc2 anything

On paper, is storm/sent/cable a better order or storm/cable/sent?

i prefer storm/cable/sent. using rocket punch assist adds easy damage and i tend to abuse it (though i know that’s wrong). putting him last allows him to heal faster when he gets hit. i also have a decent amount of meter whenever cable comes in thanks to storm. and i like a solo sent rather than cable.

but i do see a few advantages of storm/sent/cable - dhc gives tons of damage and can be used as a safe tagout, ff combos, AAA for sent.

are there certain matchups i should be putting cable last rather than sent, or does it not really matter? i’m guessing rushdown teams would be lots of trouble using storm/cable/sent since there’s no AAA.

arguments can also be made for starting sent on point too depending on the match up.

I kinda like storm with sent rocket punch assist but then u dont have drones. Drones covers so much space, rocket punch will always come out at downward angle.

Also, when u have cable on point u have no AAA but if u have sent on drones assist u can still do patterns.

but damage is so sexy with rocket punch plus with storm’s s.hk its easy to combo out of

yes solo sent is better than solo cable but sent+cable AAA is better than Cable+sent assist

what to do against Mag/Sto/Psy? im used to battle against Cab/Sen/Drd my team is Mag/Sto/Cyc tnx in advance

Any combos for Cyke + Doom’s assist?

yeah, there are a ridiculous amount of combos with cyke and doom.
experiement with as many combo tempos and delays as possible. Alot of the combos are just sort of there, you just have to know how each of cykes moves affects the character.

an easy combo with dooms assist one into super *with many variations *is:

launch+doom, 123 regular speed/ 12 medium/slow speed combo and then Down+hp. the Down+hp should smash them right into the rocks…where they will pop up right infront of you. after that you can combo, super, or combo and super. This is one situation where qcf+pp super is very good, or try to gain positional advantage.

what strategy will i use against mag/sto/psy? i cant get near when they use psy assist A tnx in advance

what charactesr are u using

colossus + tbonne = anti-msp

they will have to runaway from you for the whole match while you build a meter to reactivate iron-man mode over and over again hahah

Cable** , IronMan**, Juggernaut** glitched.

Cable:(level 3 gauge)
c.lk -> c.lk -> s.hk -> A1+A2.

nah… what team are you using?

Why do most Mvc2 players prefer p360 over competition happ controllers? What are the technical advantages between the two models, and is it really worth it to refit my stick with one if I where to play marvel more seriously?

I don’t, thats why i use Matrix, Santhrax or clockw0rk:rofl:.

You can still slide with Matrix and Santhrax.

compared to all other sticks, p360’s are the most durable. No other game requires the abuse that marvel does. I’ve had agetecs and happs comp sticks in the past and they never lasted more than 2-3 months w\o some kind of maintenance while playing marvel constantly on them. I’ve had my p360 going onto 3 years now and it has yet to fuck up on me joy stick wise.

getting which stick is going to boil down to preference. I hated my agetec’s but I loved my happs comp stick. My only gripe about the happs comp was that it was switch activated. So the pieces never truly gave up @ once, they slowly go bad and require regular maintenance.

just to clearify. is it impossible to do hyper combos while out of the screen

like if u have storm and u do LA all the way up and off the screen, u cant do a lightning storm right?

i’ve noticed, if i do the extended air combo and then do 3 LA and both of us go off screen, if i mash hp i will usually end of trowing them, weird yo

im using Mag/Sto/Cyc, how will you use collosus?

Been away from marvel for long time… Who should start playing again???

  1. Why dreamcast mvc2 > ps2?

  2. What game speed I play on, turbo or normal?

  3. What are some top teams that DON’T use sent. this might be a hard concept for people to understand, but I DON’T LIKE SENTINAL. guys boring, and so simple I can’t play him. regardless of whatever faqs you throw at me I’m not playing him. so far, from what I know (not much), the only good team that doesn’t use sent is MSP. is that it? I’d really like some options here.

  1. DC doesn’t have the counter glitch plus ther’s slowdown? on some stages.
    There are a few threads explaining more if you look.

  2. saying you don’t know much then saying sent’s simple is pretty foolish. He’s quite difficult to use - esp when you start fighting vs cable.

but good non sent teams are (depending on how good your comp is)

cable/storm/cyclops or commando
MSCyke or Tron
BH/Cable/cyke
strider/cable/Doom
IM/Cable/storm
IM/Cable/Doom
etc…

well there are 3 speeds

normal, turbo, and turbo 2

we play on turbo. it is the default anyways, if u have score attack

I shoulda been more specific. which speed do arcades and tourney/MM matches play on. if it’s different all over, which is it in NY.
