anyone want to get together and play some games today?
Some of the Eudemonia crew were thinking about heading to SVGL today though unsure if it’s confirmed, I’m sure the more the merrier there! 
Yo Chrisis, whats your take on Ice Man in Mvc2? I have been playing around with him, he takes like no chip damage but has no good combos? Idk, what combos does he have?
He has combos, but nothing brain-dead like Magneto or Storm.
About iceman and chip damage. ice beam deals a ton of it and depending on how it’s used it can be either safe or unsafe on block. He takes no chip damage from energy based attacks, but physical attacks still work, IE 0 chip damage from hyper viper beam, normal chip damage from Sentinel stomping.
IMO Iceman with Sentinel is a nice team thanks to massive chip regardless of who’s on point and decent zoning as well. Ice-Sent-Cyke or Ice-Doom-Cyke would be completely obnoxious to fight thanks to massive chip and decent zoning.
While doing some basic experimenting with him he can 66 2lk 2lp 2hk /, lp lk lp 236lp xx 236PP. You need to kara cancel the icebeam into arctic attack for bigger hits. Don’t let icebeam actually come out. You can DHC into stuff like hail storm, maybe power ball and some other stuff, I don’t know the timing to get HSF after it. 
Other icy tidbits:
dash in lk lk hk lets you hitconfirm 236lp for chip on block 236hp for damage on hit. More importantly it gives you a lot of time to summon doom/Sent/cyke/capcom depending on what the situation is.
Iceman is an excellent assist for Strider or Sentinel, maybe even spiral and Cable.
Evert Light attack Iceman has has a 4 frame start up so t the beginning of the match if he’s on point block or jump
Interesting, Thank you for the info, ill go to the lab. Is there any competitive or combo video featuring Ice Man? Been trying to find one on YouTube
Combo video for icy goodness [media=youtube]CB6PlYK7E5Q#t=2m21s[/media]
Unfortunately I don’t know of good match videos for him! I know I’ve seen some, but don’t remember who was playing him or where.
So only one combo with spiral, and the other requires infinite health??? So the ice fist buff knocks them down harder? Man, ice man is weird.
This is combo video stuff, most people don’t put up practical combos like I do.
Once I get my vid recording right I’ll help you out with some stuff though! ^.^
Sweet thanks Chrisis. I think i am getting better with doom more, and with sent I believe I play him too safely. I need to work on his fly-unfly pressure. I am thinking of a doom/ice/cable or a ice/sent/psyke. Back to the lab I go.
If you’re rolling those teams I’d alter the order around a bit based on what they want to get optimum power.
I’d do the first one as:
Iceman projectile type
Cable AAA
Doom AAA
With that you can DHC your air combo into ground viper beam for the kill for safely bringing in Cable and you get the full benefits of Cable doom which is excellent. Primarily though this lets ice act as a battery for Cable so whenever he does come in he should be able to unload at least 3 AHVBs.
For the other team I’d stick with that order with projectile, ground anti air as the assists. Sent cyke is a really solid duo but I would definitely recommend once you have gauge use a blocked icebeam hyper cancel into arctic attack DHC that into hyper Sentinel force then if you started with 5 gauges you can do like 60% on a blocking opponent with spit rocket HSF with icebeam support. Note that it’s possible to neutral advancing guard out but it’s not easy and guarentees death on people of our learning level.
don’t play ice man. he has little to no comeback potential. cable is a good version of iceman
I was trying to be a bit more supportive than that, but Som’s far more experienced and knowledgable than I am. >.<
K update, we can start the dojo early. This Saturday at 2 the dojo will happen. Technically the dojo would of started at the 8th, which means that this Saturday I have no reserved room. But, that doesn’t mean that people are using the rooms. I will keep checking the rooms to see if they will be used and I will update everyday if I have news. We will have a room, and if worse comes to worse, we could kick it at my place if all the rooms will be used (Very unlikely). So the dojo will happen this Saturday, and I will post on Thursday where we will all meet. Also if you all dont have my numbah, message me and get it, you will need to call me if we get a room where you have to have a student id. Again, message me and we will exchange numbahs, I will check my inbox at least once a day and I will check on Saturday an hour before and after the dojo starts.
P.S. Should we start doing the potluck this Saturday or wait around the 8th?
P.S.S The dojo on the 8th might be moved to the 9th on Sunday. I have a family winter party that I am probably going to go. Does Sunday work for you guys?
also, poor ice man. does comeback potential really matter in a mag/psy/ice team? mag/psy for the comback and agg, and ice for the defense? or is ice man just a dead end?
it’s too dependant on magneto staying alive the whole game. which is a pretty unlikely scenario unless you’re gdlk
God damn it, I really need to check the Calendar before I start saying things: I can’t actually make it this Saturday as it’s apparently the 1st and I have family plans again…
Sorry about that, but I’ll be regular for sure when it actually starts up on the 8th; make sure you guys have enough fun for me who cannot make it.
right, I’m pretty sure I can make it on Saturday Jan 1. First few games of the year looking forward to it.
For the potluck I would vote for next week btw
i think ill stop by and check this out for the first time. where is the crossroad?
Man, we need like a visual diagram of where the meets are relative to nearby bus stops or whatever: I remember getting lost the first time we had it there.
