Getting Into MvC2

mehhh:confused:

oh wait, I skipped a post of yours. Thats all my bad haha

That’s our shoult!

You guys forgot to tell him that when he plays Sent,ALWAYS select the Black color :rofl:

how do you select colors? and also what assist types/order should i use for my teams?

Black Sent=Hard Kick button(Make sure the color is unlocked though) :rofl:

Anyway,with MSP the order should always be Magneto,Storm,Psylocke and use the Anti Air assist for all 3.

Sent has two good assists,the Noggin/Rocket Punch and the Drones,but his drone assist is mostly used for either team Clockw0rk,Team Duc,Team Rowtron(Occasionally) in the attempt chip the enemies health down so if you are playing Santhrax use the Rocket Punch.I’m kind of new myself so I am not familiar with any other teams that Sent may use the drones.

Don’t murk me because I know the Drone assist is probably usable for more teams that I haven’t seen as much.

I suck at Marvel, but I’d just like to correct you that Santhrax, Scrub, Scrubclops, all use drones. Rocket punch is more for magneto based teams like MSS, and Combofiend. And Pyslocke is the only one on Msp with an anti-air assist.

HK is unlocked by default; A1 and A2 however, are not. You’ll probably already have everything unlocked at your local arcade, though.

Yes, MSP should always be in that order (Hence the name, it’s their initials), but I think you meant their Alpha assist (For the ā€˜A’ ), not Anti-Air.

TeamRandom covered the rest for the most part; I just wanted to add that sometimes a team can use Drone or RP interchangeably, however it is not recommended unless you know exactly what you’re doing (For example: Combofiend, MSS, Rowtron, and even Santhrax I’ve seen with RP).

EDIT:

As for assist types/order it really depends on the team. Generally, you choose the assist to work around the type of team you want to be using. Although it is generally accepted that certain characters assists are better than their others (Tron Proj, Doom AA [Rocks], CapCom AA), the other assists can be used for specific strategies or for the surprise factor, etc. The Wiki can help a little with this. I’ll get back to this to explain it a bit more when I’m thinking clearly; Unless someone gets to it before me or you don’t need a further explanation.

Depends on the characters.

MSP should usually only ever be in this order. Magneto builds meter for storm, storm has a safe DHC (hail storm) and is EXTREMLY dangerous with meter. Psylocke is technically the lowest tier on point character on the team but she has the best assist. So, she obviously goes in last.

Assists. Why?

Mag: (A) This is assist is good enough to make his other two obselete. Grav can be used for the suprise factor but it’s a gimmick that wares off after a while. I use this as a counter assist.

Storm: (A) This projectile goes through anything once it’s out plus it’s easy to combo from. Especailly for magneto. Magneto is beastly with this asisst as it greatly adds to his rush down mixups do to the block stun it leaves you in. plus if it hits Mag can launch and proceed to do big damage.

Psy: (A) I hate this assist. I really do. It’s just too good. First off, I think psy is invincible to anything until she starts to fall or lands. (not sure which one, but what matters is that she has a HUGE window of invincibility.) that’s not all. As I said earlier, this assist sets up completely stupid things. Magneto can basically kill you if this assists hits once in alot of ways and storm CAN combo it for hail-storm or otg, launch and ac into l.storm. And if after storm does this you can then DHC into mag (if he’s in second of course) for an unmashable tempest. (a tempest that’s connected without hyper-grav) Oh, and if she hits you, mag also gets a free snapout. Even worse if she hits your assists ANd you, because then you’ll get snapped out and your assist will be left alone on screen…asissts can’t block.

Basically, Psylocke hits you, and you die.

So yeah, it depends on the characters. Whose best at what and all that good stuff.

Double snap ownage :sad:

my team is magneto/cable/psylock. lol. is that good? I play storm and cyke on the side too…:wonder:

Play it for yourself. It can work, but it’s limited in some ways. It’s not BAD, so I think it’s best that you find some comp, play that team and see what you like and dislike about it.

As with any thing you want to learn, you have to get hands on.

But as for Cable and Psy…

Anything that causes hit stun from an assist and combo into and AHVB :lol: Psy= free AHVBs. That’s all I know. Honestly, I think there are better asissts for cable. Psy doesn’t compliment his style very well IMO. Cyke AAA does, however, because it goes high.

I don’t think its a good team.

If Magneto dies the team falls apart because Cable sucks ass at building meter which is what he feeds on and Psylocke will be easy pickings.

MSP that shit.

If you want Mags and Cable though I’d probably play Team Rowtron(Magneto,Sentinel,Cable).

You get two powerful battery characters for Cable to work his Magic.

That’s actually very true. Cable can’t do much with psy at all, so that team is pretty dependant on Mag’s survival. If mag dies before you have meters, GGPO. Without the right asisst, cable is limited without meters. Psy just isn’t that assist.

That and…

-There’s no safe DHC with that team. with storm on it, you do. You’ll have to counter to get cable in safely.
-cable’s assists don’t do much for mag. Cable AAA (his best one) moves them out of his reach and scales the damage pretty fast. You can keep them from flying to the top of the screen with a rom rep after cable hits, but it isn’t that practical. Cable A doesn’t stay on the screen long enough. Storm A is a much better choice.

If you’re going to play Mag and cable (who are great when on the same team IMO) you’re going to need an assist that compliments them both.

Sent (A) and (Y)
Cyke (B)
Doom (B)

^a few examples that comes to mind.

Or if you have just landing AHVBs in mind. Mag (a) storm (A) cable(b) is good to. Two batteries.

I play team rowtron. Given my experience with the team, you can be perfectly fine if Magneto dies. It’s a fantastic team IMO. I’d rank it like, third best in the game.

uhmm… i don’t think so.

i tend to do this safe (i think) DHC when playing Rowtron.

Magneto -> Cable transition
On point- > Mag (make sure you are full screen away from the opponent’s point character).
TK Tempest (wait for a few frags to come out) -> then DHC to TimeFlip.

well, that’s it. so far i haven’t been countered by using that lately.

Sounds like it could work. Definatly. Sounds AHVBmable though.

Anyway, thanks for correcting me.

I want to play cable and mag for sure.

Sooooo I can play mag/storm/cable

or

mag/cyke/cable

i dont like sentinel. lolzies…

On paper that Mags,Storm,Cable team might work although it probably will be harder to double snap people,and the assists on that team really are nothing that special.
With Mags,Cylops,Cable again I don’t think that’s a safe team.Cyclops is a better character compared to somebody like Psylocke or Commando on point IMO,but I don’t think he should be anchoring a team which is what he would be his job if Magneto died.If that Mags dies,you would be playing a weird keep away game with Cyclops to build meter.Cyclops can build meter better than Cable,but I also think that he can spend meter pretty fast.

I will let people with more knowledge than me chime in.

BTW,why don’t you like the Robot?

Mag/cable/cyke should be the formation. No reason for cyke to come in second.

^This is a very good team. Cyke provides an excellent assist that leads to big damage, and he IS the fastest meter builder (if he gets snapped in) in the game…right under Dan.

Cable with a good AAA is godly all around(cyke gets him free AHVBs). And we all know what mag can do with cyke.

Those Hk’s that he can do in the air do build meter pretty fast.

Thanks for correcting me

hmm… yeah. No problem

though im not claiming it’s a safe one. gotta let someone try it at home maybe, i don’t have a console at home so i can’t really tell if an AHVB can really get through it.
