Brushstr0kes 101: The Amaterasu Thread Mach II

oh wow =] rape. maybe it will be useful now

Elaborate, This Intrigues me.

I played for about 4 hours last night and I can confirm that Ammy is rather difficult. My friend was using a bunch of large, heavy hitters and while I was generally able to keep them off of me, it really sucked when he finally got in.

Glaive stance: Crossup j.H, L,M,H, QCF+L, Unibeam assist, Switch to reflector, L, M, f+H,H,H,H,H,H, Launch, L, M, H, H, H.

Nice little BnB I was doing when in Glaive stance. Hits pretty solid, probably a bit over 400.

Is she an obvious counter pick to anyone right now?

Skrull looks like a SERIOUS counter to Arthur/Modok/Sent right now.

I am having trouble switching stances period. Is it down, down+atk or is it down, down, atk?

I think Ammy’s whip/rosary & reflectors are going to SLAY rushdown, and possibly be even worse for big dudes like Sentinel. I only see people doing rushdown with the disc and maybe a little bit of glaive. People really need to test this shit out. I think it’s gonna be a major upset to some of the stronger-looking characters right now.

I think you can cross up with (sword) j. c pretty easy, and its extremely ambiguous and safe. A set up i found was to do

down, down+A, L for reflector, M for sword, H for Rosary.

I’d say she counters Arthur Modok and Sent too. Thing is if they’re using assists while zoning or using assists while rushing down it gets harder to use reflector counters, and zoning becomes difficult too. She’s pretty good at rushing especially just with reflector. You can zone with her good too, set out some power slashes and zone with rosary C attacks + assists and cold star. Or in reflector mode set power slash, and use reflectors on ground + assists and B attack has pretty good hitbox even to anti air some attacks.

Would like to note that if you’re getting rushed with Ammy, push block and throw out power slashes. If they’re using teleports such as Dante’s and Phoenix’s H power slash is really good.

Just got a call from gamestop they’re doing a last minute midnight release so I’ll have the game tomorrow. There a lot of shit I been keeping to myself instead of asking you guys to test it lol.

I have the game 2 days now and figured out a neat setup.

Get a OTG assist like Sentinel Rocket Punch or Wesker Gun.

Then do your standard combo into air and finish with neutral e.

Use your OTG assist into Hyper level 3.

You a little late to the party, kiddo.

Justin.tv - teamkhaos - Marvel vs Capcom 3 CRACK SESSION FROM THE AFRODOJO! BTW,Slash is currently sleeping.

I was watching the stream earlier today, and there was a lot of Amaterasu in Part 2. My favorite part was at about 1:53:05 in Part 2. Phoenix gets level 5 meter, and Ammy uses Level 2 XF and Elements Hyper. Phoenix gets hit by fire and ice and transforms, but when she comes out of the transformation animation, she eats the last hit of the lightning and takes ~40 - 50% damage from that alone.

Thanks.

Re-posting this question since it seems to have been skipped:

Are we sure (re: has it been tested) that Ammy’s meter boost assist is actually worse than Morrigan’s? I know it stays on screen for longer, but I’ve noticed that assists in this game are only vulnerable for a small fraction of the time they are actually on-screen–much shorter than they used to be–and they tend to have a lot of invincible frames before and after the move the show up to perform. Has anyone actually tested that Ammy is VULNERABLE for longer than Morrigan is?

Ammy’s Bloom assist does 1/4 bar of super. How much does morrigan do?

Some said it was slower, then again why you calling a meter build assist out of the blue with no cover?

You dont need an otg assist if your in sword mode. Just link j. 3h after j. s knockdown and otg with that. Here is a quick vid.

Skrull is reasonable against sent. Havent got much xp vs MODOK, but keepaway from arthur backed up with a good assist (ie sent drones) absolutely WRECKS skrull. Its basically free.

Just some quick vids I did, same combo ending in lvl 1 and 3. I couldn’t find anything that made this combo better, I even tried switching to glaive stance at the end, hit the air combo and otg into hyper, the scaling makes it worse actually…

Can I improve it in any way?
