so shitty ass UMK3 inspired me for a new set of options with spidey. In UMK3 and possibly other MK games, when you jump over someone and cross apexes then attack, the game flips you around so you’re always looking towards your opponent. You don’t really see this in SF. Once you jump over the opponent, you’re stuck looking that direction.
Double action characters can do this as well in mvc2. If spidey does jupfwd.lk over the opponent and doesn’t make contact, the game will flip him around after the apex cross and it allows him to chain again due to his double action. The double action allows him to attack obviously but it also makes the game change the way he’s facing. I’ve noticed that if it hits, the apex change happens kind of late and he won’t flip around. Wiffing it makes it work.
so stuff like KD series, jupfwd.lk, call tron before you reach the apex, apex cross happens falling j.rh, tron, land, instant overhead or go low or jup, adf quick drop attack and get a tron crossup.
you can even do slightly more complicated stuff with jupbck instant overhead with double to create AD space, ADF falling j.rh will hit xup on a lot of characters.
blocked instant overhead, chain out j.lk, spidey crosses apex with the point character, he’ll flip around. So you’ll get a high hit thats safe on block, and he can reattack with another falling high or wait call helper.
Its a nice little setup and should work with venom as well. It definitely adds to his mixup game.
I’ve been beastin with spidey online. His loops are really that good and his positioning is above average if you compare him to the rest of the cast. He has multiple ways in with very good mixups.
KD series, call tron, adf, quick drop is a ghetto crossup that I don’t use often. Its pretty good IMO and I’m just making a note for myself or anyone else that gives a damn about spidey.
KD series, call tron, SJ, immediate ADF, hit sj.lk when spidey starts to swing UP, float back to the original side with crossup. I think this is a double cross up. Not 100% sure right now until I get someone to block it.
