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

I SWEAR THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ME!

Same here. While practicing lvl3 Buster > Raikousen in the corner. There were times I stayed away from certain openers (j.:h: s.:m:) because it was cramping up my middle and ring fingers due to my index holding down :l:.

so i’ve been working on some combos involving the use of ryuijin xx buster on the ground, i think it’s safe to say that it’s really not worth doing. You gotta cancel within the 1-2 hits of the ryujin and even when u cancel it into the buster only 1 of the 3 hits of the buster hits, doing less than 100,000 dmg… Sucks but his only buff is next to useless rofl… Zero did more damaging combo without the “buff” in vanilla and all his nerfs are hitting his game detrimentally. Love how ZeroXZ03 and some other zeros said he’s been buffed prior to the game coming out when he got nothing but nerfsticks with 2 minor “buffs”. His ability to cancel special into buster is really next to useless(quite literally when comboing from mid screen or corner to corner), let alone broken like some people made it out to be before the game.

I’ll take the hitstun back on his moves anyday than buster buff rofl. Zero’s ass now. Gets exposed so hard to zoning teams even harder now without having anything to make up for it.

Pretty sure you’re doing it wrong then, I can cancel mine pretty late and still get the full MMH jump loop after it. Like I said before, the only characters it’s not worth doing it on are Rocket Racoon and a few others cos the Ryuenjin simply doesn’t connect.

It’s on par with the most damaging solo combo I had for Zero in Vanilla (1million using 2 Steb Extenders with Dante/ Akuma) and certainly easier IMO.

I think I found your problem.

So I found a relatively easy 800k bnb using Sentinel assist. I think it might be possible to extend it a bit to make come close to 850+.

BnB is regular LMH6HS>MMHS>Dive Buster>2H>6H>S>MMHS

And then is the sentinel extension. What I’ve been doing is: Call Sentinel>Dive>Buster>Lightning>(first drone connects)>Launch(they land in the second drone)>Lightning>Dive

Is anyone who’s good at charge cancelling see if it’s possible to get a buster>lightning after the last lightning or maybe even a ryuenjin>buster>lightning>dive?

Touché.

i played a crapton of zero/vergil yesterday and my hand was all sorts of fucked for it

I’ll try it and see if it’s possible. My Zero/Vergil/Strider combo that ZeroX posted ended up having too much hitstun for even a Dive>Buster to connect. Even though buster comes out super quick, they still popped out.

How are you guys OTG’ing midscreen with Zero? I see all the combos people are posting with Sentsuizan xx Buster xx L.Raikousen, but I’ve only ever been able to get that to hit in the corner. Is my timing off or does it just not work midscreen?

Midscreen I use doom’s beam assist before i jump and use H sentsuizan then dash forward while the beam hits and hit them with S afterwards. I think it carries from corner to corner.

Here’s the slightly famous Zero/Vergil DHC we’re all talking about. Now much better explained and with notations.

Now with how floaty characters are and how hit stun is I do this:

c.:m:, c.:h:, s.:s:, sj.:m:,sj.:m:, :h: Sentsuizan, Jump & Call Horizontal assist ( I use Hawkeye’s Triple Arrow), :h: Sentsuizan, Assist hits, s.:s:, The rest of the combo

Not only is it very consistent for me, but it does decent damage and typically leads to a coast-to-coast style combo. I know there are a TON of assist that will let you do this.

Of course, this is only possible with an assist. If, for whatever reason, Zero is on his own you can still do his vanilla stuff with the air MMH into the falling M re-jump crap. But that seems so inconsistent to me in Ultimate. Maybe I’m just a bad player.

Uh…after the sj.MM H Sentsuizan, you can jump H Sentsuizan xx buster xx L.Raikousen.

You don’t need an assist to do that.

Midscreen?

This is pretty basic and works fullscreen, carries from one corner to the other. As for extending the damage, let your imagination flow.

i would like to see some midscreen combos as well…

I need some help with the Raikousen after buster chain whenever i do it no matter how fast i do it they are already under the Raikousen. Is there something i have to do before I use Raikousen? few second wait? anything would help thanks.

Is it just me or is Magneto harder than normal to buster relaunch with j.:qcf::m: Buster j.:dp::l: ? He hits the ground way faster than normal.
