"Hunting Mavricks, one combo at a time," The MvC3 Zero Combo Thread

well… you should do the shippuga loop also if you don’t like it because it can carry the opponent from one corner to the other.

Not sure if anyone found this but I added on to the Dante combo extension. Starting with one bar, Dante Jam Session and Akuma Tatsu you can do 1,157,300. This combo builds two meters.

Corner:

:u::s::d::m::d::h::s::u::d::h::h:, Land :m::s::uf::m::m:, Buster :dp::l:, Land :m::s::uf::m::m::h::s:, Land:a1:(Jam Session):u::qcf::h::s::dp::uf::l:, Buster :dp::l::qcf::uf::h::a2:(Tatsu):u::qcf::h::dp::uf::l:, Buster :dp::l::dp::atk::atk:

EDIT: Forgot a :u::qcf::h:

I’ll try to post a video

It’s better to use Akuma assist first, since it’s more likely to connect the flying screen knockdown. Dante’s is way more random.

Add in a s.S before the tatsu assist hits. The timing to link the TK raikousen is tighter with tatsu than it is with jam session though, so you may want to omit that.

Then after the buster->raikousen you’ll be able to TK dive->rekkoha. If you need more damage after that you can DHC to devil trigger and do Dante’s combo ender.

More damage for less meter.

MY EYES!

quality needs some work man. cool its the combo i like to do. also its better to use 236H when calling dante out for his assist. dont forget you can start the lightning loop if you feel like it and can otg after the level 3

Yeah I have a really old T.V. for no lag and I recorded it on a webcam, so… haha

Can anyone show me a practical combo to do with Cold Star assist and a combo after throw involving Cold Star assist (assuming that Cold Star lets him combo off of throws)? I’d really appreciate it if this is something that works in Ultimate as well because that’s the main reason I’m giving Zero a try.

Also, can anyone give me some tips on using Level 3 buster after j.H in combos? It never seems to come out. Thanks for the help!

Really you just call your assist and OTG them with a TK qcf H. You need to throw an attack in between the first and second hit of coldstar to make sure it links properly, but after that you can just do his BnB. This is the one I typically use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwimdSvBpe0
Replace the sj.MM buster-> lightning dash with sj.MM buster-> j.qcbL because the hitstun scaling will be pretty bad at that point off of a throw.

Using buster after j.H? You can wait until j.H’s cooldown is over and then buster like you would with the sj.MMH (delay) j.M combo (replacing j.M with buster which works after longer hitconfirms). You can also cancel the j.H into j.S and cancel j.S’s startup into buster (works anytime j.M->buster would work) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OwvQNQfDEg

Typically Zeros combo into buster after j.M though.

I’m looking at the first Zero combo in the Ammy/Zero combo vid right now, and I was just wondering, are all of the OTG QCF Hs and lighting dives TKs?

Correct.

If you use M Sentsuizan instead of H, it actually becomes MUCH easier to the steb ender with tatsu than it is with Jam Session; tatsu starts up so fast that it will always combo after M Sentsuizan, the faster recover gives you plenty of time to launch the opponent in between the 2nd and 3rd hit of tatsu, and you don’t even need to delay the tigerknee Raikousen for extra height, because tatsu casues soft knockdown.

It’s ridiculously easy, actually.

Little late in the games lifespan but I found a pretty nice death combo from Zero to Dorm.

Basically, end a combo in Rekkoha, then call stalking flare when they lift up to around dormammu’s head height from the rekkoha, if you do it right they should “bounce” off the stalking flare, giving you time to link another stalking flare. After the second flare, DHC to rekkoha, the rekkoha will pick them up from the flares and then as the rekkoha ends, the flares should catch back up and hit them again. If, by some miracle, they aren’t dead yet here, you can link a third rekkoha and finish off at 5 meters. It’s really expensive but it looks fucking awesome and it’s a guaranteed kill when you only have Zero and Dormammu left.

If they’re dead (likely scenario), you can just run mixups with Zero backed by stalking flares, which is really cheap, on the incoming character.

I noticed this not too long ago when I was DHC-ing lol. Crazy stuff.

i pretty much found that months ago, mine is just a variation with rekkoha finish. you can also do a double raikousen ender with akuma assist if you TK a M diveblade.

edit: lol didnt see darksim’s post, props to you for running that too bro.

I’m having trouble doing this combo midscreen because I’m either crossing them up, or I neutral jump but end up being too far away to OTG. Any help here?

Which part of the combo are you having trouble with? If it’s the j.2H->j.H combo, that one is easiest off of a neutral jump (and in fact won’t work at all off a forward jump on small characters). If it’s the j.623L->5S (forward jump)->sj.MMHS part, you need to make sure that you wait for them to fall for a bit so that you hit them with 5S close to the ground. Then just make sure you don’t do the sj.M too fast so that you won’t cross over them (you can cross over them or under them by doing the sj.M too early or too late).

If it’s the assist extension…that only works close to the corner (close enough that you can connect a TK sentsuizan after the second raikousen).

Hope this helps and feel free to ask more questions

Hey guys need some help, I am trying to get the TK Sentsuizan down but sometimes I randomly get his regular j.H…I am familiar with TK mechanics and I am certainly seeing 2367H on the input display so I am quite confused as to why I sometimes get the spin…is there some height restriction or something?

Sometimes when that happens to me (and usually in situations when it matters) I have to remind myself to just kinda slow down. It’s typically because I tried to do it too fast and somehow fudged the input.

It happened from time to time trying do Cable’s AHVBs in MvC2. I’d get a jump gun-shot and then I would cry. Same thing applied there.
