Best char on their own

one of the best posts in this thread.

i’d also like to point out, what about dr doom?

especially if he’s loaded with meter, that guy is no joke, he only has to do basic guard cancels vs common strings and his payout for that is an easy 35% photon in ya grill.

he still gets smoked by the neeter and storm, but 1 vs 1 against other characters he’s fairly well equipped.

this topic is almost silly though, it’s obvious who’s good 1 vs 1, that perception doesn’t take that long to be developed , it’s easy to read scenarios when there isn’t that much going on.

1 vs a duo is more useful for each player to know about.

magneto is still good in this scenario because of the power of his snap-out and his bombtastic guard breaks

storms real strengths are highlighted when it’s somone trying to hit her with their aaa and it leaves the screen half dead. she can fight it out with priority, she can play footsies on the strength of her normals/range, she can counter from anywhere on the screen with her strike/super, she can also handle scenarios where the opponents helpers are involved. That added layer changes everything, not only does that change the way people attack and approach her, they have to also play a dual mindgame to protect their helper and that opens up the usage of storms priority.

she’s so much better than everyone else that it’s sad, but imo magneto is 2nd best right behind her, he has a downgraded version of everything she has with a little more risk attached to everything.

doom is surprizingly good solo but he’s more or less forced to turtle the whole match because his rushdown is nothing special. doom with 2 meters in the corner is GGPO if you land a c.hp

i agree that storm is by far the best and she is pretty unfair seeing as how she has more options against duos than any character. but i also have to add in that magneto is pretty damn cheap no matter how many characters you have.

magnus double snap game is retarted, he has easy bake oven infinites into death, But most of all since he is more of a risk taker than storm he has a rediculous random comeback factor.

IMO a random magnus with good execution can kill off of one touch, now im not saying hes better than storm, im just saying that i think he has a better comeback factor than a storm even though she has more options than he does, his are potentially fatal instead of chipping someone away repeatedly with typhoonxxhail. Almost anyone can make a comeback with magnus but making a storm comeback is pretty tuff against lets say sent/cap.

It takes more skill and knowledge of storm to comeback seeing as how her running gives you time to think.

Those are just my thoughts. i still think iron man and his damn standing roundhouse is cheap as fuck.

I completely agree, in tourney matches, i dun sweat if i’m down to just magneto and my opponent has a whole team.

i run around and avoid shit and make one hit count. thats all he needs to win. i think against some duos storm would be better and magneto could handle other duos much more efficiently because he’ll only need a single touch to handle both characters. cable/aaa pops into my mind, much easier for mag because he can snap cap and finish him and gb cable easy like. even if he fucks up the gb it’s still pretty free. he is a monster.

how good is magnus when you can hit the start button :rofl:

he’s pretty good when he goose eggz that naggum even when he’s a DAMN CHEATER:arazz:

i think iron man is godlike with start button properties lol. i actually have people randomly press start sometimes to be stupid and i never mess up his inf its too pre-school.

So it seems so far everyone has mostly agreed that it’s

  1. Storm
  2. Magneto

That’s pretty much all I can tell so far, other characters like Strider, Sent, IronMan, Cyclops can all be pretty much debated I’m assuming. I myself agree that if it’s 1 vs 1, this shouldn’t even be a debate that Storm and Mags are the 1 and 2 spot.

I like Mag’s odds even when he’s 1 vs 2, random factor is just too huge, and he has too good of a comeback factor when compared to Storm. Although overall Storm would still be better just because she’s more safe, runaway game, building meter, but Mags comebackfactor>Storm’s though.

People should make out a Top 5 characters in a 1vs1 list or something, then we could really get something going about who’s the top 5 1 vs 1 or whatever. Imo, it would be interesting to read about it.

you’d be surprised what anakaris can do when it’s down to the last characters…the keep away, magic hands (whatever they’re called), instant overhead, and air combo super can equal death if you’re not careful
