Ironman in depth

NICE! How did you know? That was a big part of my problem…I needed that extra drop that the delay gives. I noticed they inch a slight before the f.lk, I guess I have to as well, right? Heh, neutral fierce is dooming me from completing this.

Thanks for your help though sir!!!

yea there are a lot of variations. the one I posted was simply what was easiest for me. Not too many people could even do the combos back when I posted that. I took a hiatus from marvel while other people didnt. Folks like Beats and j360 probably have better combos than the ones I listed.

I can’t even do those combos anymore lol. well i can on sentinel, but I have difficulties with normal sized characters.

Ironman is weird at first but once you get used to him, its really easy to progress with him.

I think I’m going to revise this thread. I read it now and think “scrub” for a lot of shit i posted. I just need to hit training mode because my Ironman is still a bit rusty and I don’t quite remember all the specifics.

yeah, just get back into that shit!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

I took a hiatus from IM until like last year a bit after SB3 since I played at arcades that I couldn’t execute on, so I just picked MSP and never really progressed…but once I got back into IM on a console stick I could actually play on it was smooooth sailing.

perhaps make a ver2 of the thread? combing original post + other useful posts others have made in the thread?

sounds like a good idea. i’ll do it sometime early next week. I’ll edit the main post, then go through the pages and add the effective tips left out and credit to whoever posted it…

btw, how is everyones ironman online play? it took me a bit getting used to, i was droppin people out of the infinite left and right. its quite awkward actually because on DC the jumping infinite was ridiculously lenient and forgiving in almost every aspect. Now I actually kind of have to pay attention.

i have a bit harder time doing crouch cancels, but aside from that and the rare massive lag spikes, I can do all of my regular and fancier combos no prob (and seems about the same when I played j360, killakelly, other IM players from chi)

I posted about that in the glitch thread, they just fucking uncombo for no reason. Like, it’s no question on who would miss IM’s jumping infinite (no one) but they slip out of the combo if it isn’t pixel perfect or something.

DC/Arcade was definitely more lenient heh.

I’ll check out the other A2G’s, the main one is owning me. Specifically because I can’t get my brain to AD f lp up+hp after the 3rd rep, but I’ll practice that shit to no end until I get it. I definitely wanna break out of my scrub tier IM game heh.

you guys probably just need to get used to it, there really isn’t that much of an issue with nj inf online.

also, remember, you don’t NEED to adf lp, up+hp. only maybe if you mess up. once you get used to it you can vary it if you need to on the fly

Hey Beats, that combo at :18 on Doom…does that work on regular characters? Or just Doom/Tron etc?

I don’t know what it is, but I’m in scrub mode right now…the regular character mid screen A2G isn’t working with my execution. Is there a slightly easier one or something? I’ve been practicing A2G hard body but man…all the forward fly lk’s, up+hp’s, and air dashes are giving me so many chances to mess up :(.

yeah, just doom, tron, cable-ish characters. that’s the only combo there that’s not too practical.

hehe, the A2G aren’t any run-of-the-mill combos you only need fast hand/memorization for. you need tighter execution and good timing. keep it up, you should get it eventually.

it’s either the mostly upFP addf upFP, or adding upFP adf lp upFP might make it easier for you

argh, you’re right. Anyone who pulls this off, especially in the heat of tournament matches are another level of godlike. Good shit to you, josh, and others.

The real challenge for me is piecing all of it together, but that can be done with an ass load of practice. I guess it will just take me a bit longer but I’m dedicated to get that GADLYKE IM status :badboy:

yeah, once it becomes natural for you (getting comfy with the ups and the addfs and understanding the timing) it becomes reaaally easy to do imo because it’s so versatile keeps them stunned for a while

damn this a nice guide to iron man, i like it a lot. I’m new to this game but i learned the timing to his easy jumping infinite the other day. But no one lets me jump in with an up roundhouse to start it and that sucks donkey balls. I’d like to learn the unfly stuff also but that looks tough.

Hey beats i saw ur ironman on youtube, nice stuff man. I’d like to be that good with him one day lol.

practice practice practice.

first thing is first: learn his ground setups into NJ inf. sounds like ur on the right track :tup:

cool you wanna fight on XBL sometime?

Hey wuts the buttons for the easy infinite on sentinel and bigger characters? I didn’t see it in the guide

Same thing, [j.lp->j.mp, slight pause->j.mk, slight pause->j.u+hp \ /]xN, just use j.lk instead of j.lp when they look like they’re getting too low.

Hope that helps.

to add on. usually after 1 rep starting with lk (you hit them when they are low), you can then safely do 2 reps starting with LP, then back to 1 rep of LK (midscreen)

in corner I do 1 rep straight up starting with LK, 1 rep forward starting with LP.

you can variate back and forth even midscreen, you just need to be comfortable with altering the timing of every 1 of the hits so that you don’t drop them/they don’t get too high to hit. this is pretty easy once you get used to it, ensures you stay close to PC when needed, and makes sure you don’t sometimes go under them when jumping forward. :tup:

So I picked Ironman up recently and I really like him. I’ve been practicing the infinite and I can get about three reps pretty consistently but never anymore than that.

I’ve been looking for an assist thats useful in setting it up and I really like Dhalsim’s ground assist. I’ve seen videos of people doing Throw+Assist->infinite. I can get the infinite off the assist but for some reason I can’t get the throw to go into the assist. Could someone describe the timing for that? Do you execute them at the same time or is one slightly before or after the other?

For right now my team is IM(Proj)/Dhalsim(Ground)/Cyke(AAA), any suggestions for that?

usually you tap the assist button right before you throw.

Hey guys, i know I said i’d update the thread but i’ve been really busy getting shitfaced for my bday all last week.

I’ll start revising this week and hopefully have a full thread posted up by next week or earlier

remember…you don’t need to do it lol. If I were you, I wouldn’t. maybe if it was some years back where it would’ve been more active…but chea…

if i dont make a new thread, i still want to at least revise some of the stuff in the original post and add some new vids
