De4dEyE's Magneto Q&A thread

was this a square jump.

i was playing this guy he had mag/sent-rp

and he calls sent assist and square jumps to the other side so im facing him but the sent rocket punch is going to hit my back so i block the sent assist by holding the “wrong direction” then he waits for me to leave block stun so he can attack me (cuz if ur already in block stun u can block both directions at the same time, for those who dont know) and then i block the right direction and he was like “ohh shit no way” not only that he hit high first and then hit low i blocked all that shit yo and then c.lk+psy c.mk xx Rom

but yo that was scary yo i was shook at that tactic.

box jumping = overrated

rhombus jumping = underrated

a rhombus is just a tilted square or diamond, isnt that just the same as tri jumping.

cuz how exactly would u get under them to form the rhombus.

once ur in blokstun u can block both sides at the same time, magneto user’s main focus should be on mixing up between high and low cuz u cant block high and low at the same time

sometimes i got high low high
or low high low to mix it up.

u could also try changing the timeing or Fakin them out but trijumping but not attacking and then jsut going low. either way make them try to block or die trying. (hopefully they will die trying lol)

nope, the square jump im talkin bout is where magneto’s fp hits on backside of sentinel, so if your 1p, sentinel will turn to the right and you will have to block to the left, and then delay your rh and he will turn left and have to block right…put the computer on all guard in training mode then try to sj. ad/f fp rh at sentinel’s midline of his body…if you did it right he will block both ways…wut u said in above just sounds like he is playing with your guard stun.

that sounds hardcore. does that only work on sentinel cuz hes such a fatty. if it works on everyone that is too crazy. I’ve heard about magneto hitting ppl with his cape but i never hear anything about attacking on one side but the hit registering on the other side so the person has to block the oppoosite way.

Yeeeaaaaaaah. I wasn’t serious.

does anyone have any good mag resets without using assists

when ur doing the rom do sj. lk dash to the other side sj.lk sj.mk and then continue. if ur really bad. do that and then do it again and go back to the other side. double reset.

during rom sj lk mk addf wait a bit hk

you’ll air dash down forward to the other side and do a hk. they’ll have landed already so it will be an overhead, they’ll probably be expecting a low if their fast enough…even then, it’s a high :wink:

rom, land, tri jump one side attack high/low, tri jump the other side and attack high/low.

rom, land, dash to the other side and c.hp
rom, land, dash to the other side c.hk xx sjc
rom, land, sj. lk, sj.lk, sj.hk (fly screen) tri jump any of 4 options
rom, land, sj. lk, sj.lk, air dash down, lk, hp (fly screen) tri jump any of 4 options
rom, land, sj.lk, sj.lk, ad/d, lk, hp, hk, / c.hk attack high/low either side
LOW ROM, land, c.hp, DELAY the UP button, grab
HIGH ROM, sj. grab

launch, lp, lk, lp, dash foward (cross up), hk xx MT xx DHC to hailstorm or HSF

in the corner:
ROM, sj.lk, lk, ad/d, lk / grab
ROM, / dash forward, c.hp

there are sooo many :slight_smile:

Quick question, what is the timing on the super jump cancel when I do c.lk + psylock,e c.lk. psylocke hits c.lk c.hk then super jump cancel lk lk. Do you have to do it as fast as possible, or delay the super cancel? Thanks

you have a bit of leniency…you can wait a bit b4 super jumping…when they’re about to go over you, over you, or when barely going behind you

Thanks beats

yea, if you master not sj’ing until they get behind you it makes resets a bit nicer

I will try that. :smiley: haha

when i guard break with mag i use super jump lk dash down and hit them with a 2nd lkand go from there but lately i found out ppl can just mash on jabs and stop me from doign that is there anything i can do to counter them mashing on jab to stop my guard break?

if you’re about 100% sure that they’re gonna mash jabs, then just do normal jump and call psy (if you’re using msp).

lol sorry i should of specified i use rowtron with rocket punch assist and mss with rocket punch

Is there any specific way to mash out of tempest combo?
I’ve only been able to do it like once…

Engage the left/right microswitches on the stick alternately as quickly as possible and swipe the buttons a few times.
