Thanks Green
So I’m picking up MvC2 for the first time, and I need some help. I know all the basics (at least I think I do) and some of the advanced stuff, but I’m having a tough time figuring out my chosen team.
I’m going with Cable/Strider/Doom; I know Cable and Strider can clash since they’re both meter hogs, but I’ve seen quite a few videos of a pro playing with that team and the playstyle really appeals to me. I can do AHVBs fairly consistently now, after a bit of practice, but I’m not sure when to use them and how to get into them. Also, I’ve been reading the S/D threads, but I’m still kind of unsure of what the more basic things are I need to know rather than advanced strats. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
So BH’s AAA sucks? =/
^depends on what you wanna do with it, it’s mainly about using it with your team for combos, and set ups, as well as catching your oppenent with it that will determine how to use it.
Personally i think BH AAA is rather interesting, with certian characters like Doom you can create set ups that will force your oppenent to react in a certian way, once you see them do it, bam free hit/set up into something else.
What team do you wanna use it with?
Well I use it in tandem with Cable keepaway with grenades and Viperbeams. It also has uses against jump-happy people since it reaches all the way up the screen…
well seems like you got the concept down then.
No way! BH’s AAA is kickass as it is basically a capcom assist with tracking ability. Incredibly useful to have when fighting against pesky storm and doom players, who just want to stay in the air all day long spraying you from above with projectiles.
Not good to use often when fighting against cable however, then BH dies pretty quick. Unless you are good at defending your assist chars(should always be there to defend them anyway, common sense).
No. Abandon this thinking immediately.
I can’t consistently do Magic series with mags. Advice? What confuses me is double tapping for MP and MK.
Just how the hell do you use Doom? All I can seem to do is runaway and shoot his laser and throw random Photon Shots. Other than that I’m getting crossed-up to holy hell or stuck in the corner. I needa get him down for my Cable/Venom/Doom team ^^
What? Magic series -> lp, lk, lp, lk (or lp, lk, mp, lk, depends on terminology use I guess). Just launch, lp lk lp lk.
Normal launch ending with Magic series? With mags is nothing. His attacks come out so fast that almost no timing is required. Think of it as typing quick on a keyboard, thats about it once you’ve got the proper sequence down.
With other characters like Charlie and Samurai, the timing is weird. I’d rather stick to the semi-magic series(Jab,jab,short,roundhouse or fierce), its 1 hit less but almost always hits.
Can anyone give a good example of starting hi to low with Storm???
Like starting a match with say Storm, holding forward pushing up against the character do you just do
s. lp c. lk s.lp c.lk launch? and then finish it (if lucky)??
and also is it normal to start off the match by just normal jump then air dash down and then either hit hi or delay hit and hit low???
I could use some tips as well.
The only thing I seem to do is go for the launcher, either the st. lk x2 or cr. fierce into his air combo ended with a Photon Array. Does great damage, but I can’t rush like this on anyone of Storm or Mags’ caliber with him because he’s so slow.

It seems pretty useful, despite it’s for made for Doom/Tron/Juggs, for combo references (Infinite on Sent) and some good guard crushes.
What are the differences between the healers in this game? ie does amingo’s healing assist restore more than son-son’s?
I’m not sure, maybe it’s stamina specific…
I see; well nobody uses the healing assist anyway, but still I’m curious…
Yeah i wonder why those healing assists made it into the game. On paper it kinda seems like a neat idea, but in execution not really. In my time playing others i’ve only seen 1 person attempt to use it, and still be playing serious.
I don’t encounter many amingo or son-son users that use this. Sometimes I’ll run into somebody’s jill who would try it out but with little results…
Especially amingo’s, it’s hard to catch.
