Let the man play, and learn what he wants, whats wrong learning how to play Mag as a beginner, it takes time no matter when you pick him up.
but it takes more time when you don’t know much about the game. I made the mistake of trying to pick up mag without much overall mvc2 experience after alot of fellow players advised me not to.
Everyone learns different. I buffed Magneto by picking him a lot and always starting him. It took me years before I could properly tri-jump, infinite, etc. Poorly grooved habits can be cured with time and practice, but experience comes from battle.
I already mentioned. YOu can’t let the guy play who he wants if he wants to win. That’s my point. If you want to win, you have to adjust yourself and realize that the game’s NOT BALANCED, and you need to learn team dynamics, and start with the basics. If you want to play casually, then do what you want.
I learned Mag / Psy first too, but you know what? Before I learned MSS, if Psylocke died, my Magneto was quickly dead after that. It wasn’t until I started using Mag away from Psylocke that I really learned to zone with him, and get my execution down.
What about iron man? I think Doom / IM / Sent would be a nice starter to learn sent. I’m really against cable.
Ironman is a hard charater to use, but he’s a good starter. He teaches you how to back off your rushdown, and how to control yourself, creatinga good balance between rush and run tactics. His ability to zone is phenominal, and his assist is godly… doom is an AWESOME complement to him as well… however…
Neither assist help sentinel very well. They can, but the game is very linear. You don’t have the freedom you might need. If you want a good team with ironman and sentinel on it, a great team for that is combofiend.
Ironman - AAA
Magneto - Projectile
Sentinel - Rocket Punch
You get free infinites from the rocketpunch, IM gives magneto unmashable options and rom setups, and em disrupter really complements sentinels’ ability to deal damage in this team. It’s by no means an easy team, but it’s a good way if you want to learn all three. You wont get your magneto into the psylocke only assist mode, your sentinel will learn to operate WITHOUT the 100% kill option by a DHC from Storm and without reliance on heavy arial protection, giving you the opportunity to really learn how to fly, and you’ll be learning ironman, a character, that in my opinion, if you can master, you’ve got all of Mag and Sent’s basics down, as well as some of their intermediate and advanced tactics.
Ask J360 about this team, as he’s AMAZING with it.
I don’t play combofiend’s team, but I’d imagine that it couldn’t hurt to have IM in second. Especailly given IM’s instant DHC. It can beat out a AHVB in terms of startup.
youre too kind john =D but i use it with drones its all the much cheaper and has better options for both magnus and iron man to run and fight at the same time, i suggest using rocket punch only in the beginning of learning combofiend, drones give iron man the coverage he needs to whore standing roundhouse.
unfortunately, learning something is not that systematic.
W-What?! Stop using charlie?
Blasphemy!
Here’s my reasoning.
He asked a question of type “How do I win?”
Well, I don’t think playing Charlie linearly would be as effective as getting a team that will help him understand what his weakness in terms of catching runners. Then he can work on whoever he wants to catch the culprits.
Charlie Sucks…I do like Sonic Break(:qcf::2p:) into Crossfire Blitz(:qcf::2k:).
What about Doom Capcom and Storm?
Seems like I can do well vs cable players now, but I still suck vs blackheart… The only person who uses him ONLY does that amn infinite… Oh well, I’m geting better. 
so? he does the infinite, look on the bright side… you got a TON of meter to throw pink shit at him with doom.
I’m getting there, but fighting him takes a lot of patience. His games usually ends around the 20 sec mark. I’m finally gettign use to his tactics since he mostly blocks and counters. So instead of chasing him, which he wants, I just let him come to me. I basically turn his strat against him. I just got to cover my assist a tad bit better.
Good job! that’s how to do it!
charile sux. he loses to anakaris.
There is a guy who uses Mummy, Jin exp and shuma balance. He makes it work since he comes up with a lot of trap teams like Ruby heart and that lil’ monkey girl. + some random exp assist. I was able to us my charlie vs him, but I had to switch to using Doom 1st vs him.
JIn exp? Weird. did you beat him?
where you the guy at tilt sat. wit us…sry to get off topic everyone
