Cable unblockable, whats the deal

Oh damn, you might be able to use it as they get up? My bad…if you can do that it’ll be more then useful, it’ll become essental to Cable since I think he’s fading somewhat now.

magic bullets rock. i tried the same thing as someone else (superjump auto guard) and i think that if you use it for when they are changing modes (on the ground, super jump and jump and when they are standing up) you can catch people in it quite reguarly. but if you make them fall on it its really hard to hit someone outside of dooms size with pscimitar ahvb, especially if the fall is screwed up by something or they call an assist. by screwed up i mean, float, heavy charachter falling faster so on …

i got it to work like twice … i think … i tried to make them land on it, which was completly unfruitful for me. then a friend came over, i showed him this thread so we decided to give it a shot (no pun intended), with him blocking and me playing cable. i thought about the as-they-are-getting-up part someone mentioned, thats where i got it to work. i used jugs punch assist just as an easy knock down. i think that you have to make them stand up, fall, or whatever; and the bullet hits from behind. so they stand up or fall, inbetwen the 3th and 4th bullet while the 4th bullet was just about to pass thru the space the charachter stood up (or fell) into, and since your invincible when you are standing up (and not quite there yet if your falling) , it passes through you (or under) hiting you from behind, or atleast hitting the edge of you charachter. or anyway behind your block. this was all done on xbox btw. i want to get a hold of an arcade game on freeplay for an hour or so to realy test this out but i wont be able to do that untill saturday.

slap me if im wrong but i always thought that sent’s worked because the second hit of it went behind the block. thats my theory …

if just hits on the other side you just gotta block it the other way…sent’s is just a fuckin glitch, where the cpu doesn’t register tha last hit. now that i think about it though; u should be able to block it standing up even if it hits on the other side since the engine states that u block in the direction the point character is facing. if this shit is true, then there has to be something more to it.

also personally, standing up, sitting down, i don’t think it will change the way cable is played too much. just because of the simple fact that cable doing 4 gunshots is kinda risky coming down from capcom. then the standing up deal, i could see that working out a little, but i mean it would have to take more precision than sent’s unblockable probably. but yeah; if u can do the unblockable bullet getting up then it might become a rarely implemented tatic.

so we got cable and sentinel … what about storm and mags?

will there be a video out for this?

storm and magz have unblockables…

storm’s LA.

magz c.hk.

but enough about them… i really cant see this being used in matches unless you can get hit when rising from a fall… then it might be useful. but still, the risk of firing the four shots is kinda iffy. with sent. there is no real risk. you can just fly/unfly real quick. with cable. if you scimitar… it will become a pattern. and you will get dominated.

nah, if you fuck up magic bullet, just psimitar xx AHVB… it’s a waste but it’s better than being punished flat out.

edit: wtf am I saying, “if you have meter”… that’d be the only point in doing it :confused:

If i could get this shit to work > : [

Anyways, think about it

MAgneto sj’s, he now has 2 things going through his mind

Will cable go for the unblockable as i land? if so mag might get shot as he lands

Can i risk an airdash to avoid it? if cable calls this he can simply sj fp, let magneto fall and ahvb mag to death

A pattern that will basically cut magneto’s balls off in this match-up, it would totally change the game…

The unblockable is useless when standing up, if you use it, they’ll roll, and in super jump against the top 4, sent can fly, mags can dash and cable with beam you ^_^.

But if you try it on someone who hasn’t seen it will be cool, but cable unblockable can be seen or heard so you can avoid it… :lame:

im guessing u sobs are trying it on the computer. it doesnt work.

i’ve heard of wong using a cable combo that otg’s (forcing the roll) into the magic bullet…good shit if the cable player can get it every time, i personally still haven’t seen it

I dont see much use to his unblockable unless its as the character comes out but thats an if there are characters that can escape ur better off going for his gaurd break. Its very hard to time its the very last shot u can eat alot of shit trying it too many times. And there is no way to catch them as they are getting up because there is nothing that can stop the character from rolling even if its an assist like psylocke or another knock down assist. Even in the corner its useless because there is no way to set it up because the other shots will hit the character and the way it works is when the last shot connects by itself. So to me i dont think it has much uses unless they are coming out. If a character sj they arent gonna come down like that not any top tier anyways. Mag storm air dash. Sentinel can fly go towards him sike him out to throw scimitar and fly back and call assist or unfly and call assist if he tries to do scimitar AHVB or if its tronne he will eat an automatic half life combo into death with the right characters. This is just my take on it someone could prove me wrong but as far as ive seen doesnt have many uses.

PS: Even if cable can stop a character from rolling which he can there is no way he can throw out that last gun shot without the other shots hitting the character first.

actually there is a setup that wong was using while i was playin him, but i dunnno if he was toying with it, he launched me with cable into and AC then i got flyin screened, drones hit made me roll, he shot the gun and i got hit, and i was blocking, i dunno if it crossed of or sumthing, but that was the setup, he got it to work like once of the 10 times he tried it lol

Well i doubt that was the unblockable because its his last shot so its not like it comes out that fast. But ive seen wierder shit happen

nah it wasnt fast or anything, he forced me into a roll, then shot the guin while i was rolling and as soon as i got up i got hit by the last shot…kinda like the senitnel unblockable setup in the corner…

that’s crazy, but it must take alot of timing.

if your off by even a little bit the player should be able to duck it and if it’s against another cable, punish you almost every time.

Was this in the corner

nah midscreen…

Oh well i dont know then ive seen cable cause a fly screen mid screen before but i dont think u will have enough time to get out the fourth bullet. And for ur info u can do the unblockable on the computer but its harder and u can tell because the character will block the other way. So if u see it coming yes u can just block the other way because ive tried it before so its just a big guessing game.

anyone got a vid of this yet?

thx
