Marvel 101 (MvC2 ---> Newbies)

Turbo 2 is insanely fast, just normal or turbo is fine

Question, sometimes when switch glitching a character in I don’t get the first hit. Why is that?
Like, say i switch cable in and start with lp. I’ll get hit with mag’s lk. Or sometimes i’ll start with mags lk and get hit with the other mag’s lk.

They say a properly-timed input from the other player can negate this glitch but hasn’t really been confirmed. Anyway, that’s crazy; trying to get first lick off a magneto in CC. :wink:

Personally, I find the glitch works on people who don’t know about it or aren’t really expecting it. Not something I would rely on, but I’d like to hear some thoughts from other people since I don’t use it often.

From the many MSP mirror matches I’ve played, Mags cr. lk will often trade with the other person’s Mags cr. lk.

And starting Cable against Magneto is crazy, Mags cr. lk will beat out Cable’s move input, more than likely.

“Block low and mash on cable assist”. :wink:

lol, so that’s the secret to Marvel. All this research, discussion and practice was just for laughs. I’ve been playing this game all wrong.

Silly me. :rofl:

there you go, now you got it.

yes, properly timed cr.lks have beat my switch glitched ones…and I have done it to those who were switch glitched.

Some times my cable LP will beat out mag’s lk. Both are switched glitched in. Is that just like a human error then? I dont have 2 sticks to test it out.

You should shut up if you don’t know what you’re talking about

It doesn’t seem to work 100% for me. I know that some people have done it before but I get hit by lk every time I try it.

I know what I’m talking about. The point is, what are you talking about…? Spell it out for me, since I obviously have it wrong. You do know I was joking in that post…right? Anyway, I don’t use god-tiers but the document was interesting to see how many ways the god tiers can counter one another at the start of a match.

About the glitch, I was thinking maybe that since 1 frame is the lowest amount possible for an attack, it will consistently trade with other attacks that use the trick since its impossible to go any lower. I don’t know; surprising that the Japanese haven’t posted an explanation for it yet.

Fixed:tup:

Look…I really don’t care to get in it with you or anyone atm; way too tired. But I would rather you didn’t highjack threads to spout sleaze at me. Want to try to put me down? Go ahead! Just hit me up on PM, that’s all I’m asking. Let’s keep the pissing contest between us.

Is there a list anywere of how much damage each supermove does?

There may be a FAQ on GameFaqs, but I haven’t found such and I’ve pretty much looked at all of them. You can find a small work in progress in some of the character threads already under MvC2 Damage and Combo Encyc, but it doesn’t hurt to just pick your character of interest in training mode against a 100% stamina character (e.g., Ruby/Cable).

p.s. If you read through some of the character threads, there is a high chance that someone has randomly posted character-specific Hyper Combo damage before.

Hi all, I have been interested in marvel in a long time but only have play it the last two years a couples of time at an arcade. I do have read a lot about marvel in that time, I have come frequently here. The thing is that I have had the time and I have been playing quite some time these past weeks.

I have always use team Scrub and everyone there has beaten me down badly, the pros, the average etc… This last time that I been to the arcade I have beet some bad to average people who have been playing the games for years and are now complaining about the team I use. They said I only do the same thing (and I usually do, and that?s why I loose) and that cable is cheap etc. One even start screaming while we were playing that I was a fucking scrub(he was really mad).

Of course when they use to wipe the floor with me they did not complain. Now lets forget this people because im not changing this team anywhere soon, I just love cable, nothing of tier or whatever( I could change sentinel and commando but not cable). Now the pros at the arcade they use mainly msp or mainly mag and psylocke or whatever team they use I get beat bad I mean real bad. I don’t have a dreamcast to practice on so I only play at the arcade, the thing is that vs this people I could sometimes not even land a hit in a couples of matches.

They are too good for me, I was just thinking if by just playing in the arcade I would eventually get better even if I don’t practice on a dreamcast? Last time I was at the arcade I spend almost 15 dollars(25 cent per game), as long as I have the money to I will keep playing cause I love this game. Sorry is my post does not make sense, just wanted to know what you guys think.

The best thing I can say is it’ll take awhile. It takes a lot of practice to get the reaction speed down, switching your brain over to “combo mode” when you get a hit, cross-ups, good offense and defense. I just started seriously playing this game like 2 or 3 semesters ago and finally started to get in the groove of it. It seems like there’s so much shit going on and you can’t react. And then dissapointed, you sigh and go practice again, wondering where you went wrong. And then you play it so much you burn yourself out and actually suck more.

Then something “snaps”.

All of a sudden you don’t lose as much anymore. The scrubs no longer annoy you, no matter how much they mash. You feel more self-confident. You rush into the thick of battle, not with a blind finger but with a plan and deadly efficientcy. The road of Marvel is long.

And getting a Dreamcast to practice helps a lot. :wink:

I really wonder if one lets said can learn Rom (or this kind of stuff in general) only playing matches on the arcade, because I have seen a lot of post, talking about going to training mode which I don’t have.

On a more to game question when I have Cable out with 1 or 2 bars and I can punish my opponent assist should I only do it if I can completely kill it or should I go a head and damage it, even if it don’t kill the assist.(which probably then he won’t use until it regained its health back, and I am stuck with a Cable without meter)

I been thinking this while playing and it is nice to lock his assist for a time by damaging it but then I don’t have meter to punish the point character and sometimes it end up gaining its health back and using the assist again.(Of course it will be spending 3 bars vs an assist with a lot of defense like sentinel and not killing it)

well, i was able to learn ROM just by constantly playing at the arcades. Well, for a fact that most of my practice time for ROM comes from matches against computers though.

Just in my point of view, 2 bars against a sent assist that you can’t kill is not a good idea. but 2 bars that can kill that opponent’s point character on the other hand is another story. Yeah, it’s better to be patient and slowly build bar or just spam grenades. People would like to take advantage of a cable without meter. Grenades are good especially if you have capcom**. you can time the grenade to hit the assist going down after he’s hit by the capcom assist.
