Ah MSH, the joys of old skool
That was the first real fighting game I played…Then I saw the joys of ST then xvssf and so forth. But I only played it in the arcades. Who is exactly Anita???
Anita is the little girl who hangs out with Donovan from Nightwarriors. In MSH she is a tiny girl with a triple(?) jump, she uses Donovan’s sword (IIRC), has specials sort of like his from NQ (in one she calls Akuma!) and her “Please Love Me” (? forget the name) does like 99% damage from up close.
I got the PSX version. I didn’t play it in the arcades that much so I didn’t notice the difference (besides the obvious). And the Saturn one was worst. Why Capcom didn’t release this on DC.
Can anyone kindly post the infinites for all or some of the characters or at least tell me where to find some?
I just wanted to announce that I plan on making a MSH vid, maybe every character but Im thinking just Shuma, with resets, 100%'s, and other stuff. If anyone wants to contribute you could get your name in the credits:D
Spider-Dan…
I recently found a green CPS2 MSH and I need the code/trick to unlock Doom , Thanos and Anita .
I remember you posting the exact method on the old SF2 newsgroup eons ago but the method evades me now…
thanks for your help

I found the code/trick on GameFAQs so it’s covered…
Is it possible to link into Anita’s super on all the characters . I can link into it from an extremely low RH on the larger characters (Jugg , Thanos , Hulk) but the smaller ones seem impossible (not that it matters with her infinite) .
Also , is there any way to do a re-launch combo with her ? Against CapAm I can dial a slow 6-button chain after a launcher and get close to a land then relaunch opportunity but it never quite connects and are there any double/triple jump combos with her ?

Anita super combo:
[whatever pre-combo,] s.fierce -> super.
I don’t know of any crazy Anita aircombos. Sorry.
Can anyone explain how the Iron Man marvelous combo works? I’ve seen this “Marvelous combo” on one of the FAQS featured at Game FAQS, but it dont help much. Also, what’s his best launcher, C.Strong or S.Roundhouse?
I just got a computer recently. So I downloaded MSH for mame and SpiderDan you right. The timing for stuff is alot different. Iron Man has an air dash, Blackheart is playable, Jugg’s headcrush and all.
IM has an air dash in the Saturn version, but in that version it won’t work if you map 3 punches to a button, you HAVE to press the manually.
Anyway his air dash it really good, and after his diving knee you don’t bounce off. You can play a really good air game with IM by mixing air dashes, bombs, dive knees, flying a bit, etc.
Some characters have real problems getting IM out of the air. Juggs is the best example, IM can pretty much super jump around forever against him.
And yeah, BH is a lot better cause in the Saturn version BH is just one big slowdown inducer. Basically any time you do ANY thing with him the game slows to crawl…bleah.
Yeah he is. Those tips work too. Didn’t really play him that much on PSX because of slowdown (talking about Iron Man). Beam talks and PC were too slow.
Spiderdan-couple of questions for you.
-Why do you say Thanos is the best exactly?
-Do you think Ironman moves up in the rankings at all due to
his infinite that can be landed from a triangle jump or whatever
and can be done on any standing character anywhere on the screen?
On a side note, for the longest time I’ve been possibly thinking about doing a sort of “remake” of the original MSH Gamest tape, mostly the combo portions, and possibly match vids if I can ever play some really good people again (Dan you should take a vacation and come to VA! :D) Would people be interested in something like this? At the very least, I have begun working on my “infinite showcase” video which will hopefully be done sometime in the near future 
I think a new (remake or whatever) video would be good . I watched the very poor combo vid on Akumacombos yesterday so I think the unknowing younger players need a good demo of what this game is about .

Thanos:
Let’s set aside the Mind Gem for a minute. Thanos has great rushdown (diveknee), and any time a diveknee touches something, c.short-c.fierce is 60% meter for him if blocked, or combos into Reality Gem if connected. C.Short-c.fierce-Power Gem is pretty safe chip, as well.
Reality Gem is a one frame attack in the “pillar zones” (where the pillars come out), so anything done in those two zones is a free super, plus whatever you want as followup. The front pillar zone is especially useful, as many blocked dash chains end in that zone.
Soul Gem does great damage, recovers a lot of life, and is nearly instant. It also combos from any launch.
Based on the above factors alone, Thanos is #1. When you add in the fact that at any point, Thanos can stop your ability to mount a serious offense (Mind Gem), or at the very least, ensure that your infinite will end when Mind Gem effect runs out, no one can compare.
I would have to see IM’s infinite used in a practical way (i.e. in a real match) before I would change his rank. The fact that it can be landed on a standing opponent off of a triangle jump is not really that helpful, because normally they would need to be ducking in order for the triangle jump attack to connect. If they were standing, they wouldn’t have been hit.
Even if he was re-ranked, it would only be slightly up. I don’t think he’s quite as good as Spidey/Cap/Wolvie/Shuma even with that infinite.
Okay, that makes a lot more sense now. I knew that all of Thanos’s supers where cheap and that had to be what made him good, but what I didn’t realize was the speed at which he charges meter.
As far as Ironman goes, I’m not saying he should really go up in rankings that much (if at all) just that he has a little bit of a better chance than he did in some matches that’s all I think. I’ve never actually really tried playing him much against other people, just the cpu trying to find easiest ways to land infinite (and then of course trying to do it consistently :D). But then again you have to admit Dan, I’m probably the best MSH home system (if you can even call it that :)) scrub you’ve ever played 
Don’t forget Thanos’s braindead infinite.
Is that the [lk bubble, c. hk, dash]*n one?
Thanos has two relatively easy infinites:
opponent in corner, c.RH x N (there is a specific distance you need to be at, if I remember correctly)
d.s.RH (one hit)-QCF+Short, repeat
Hehe, I just tried it last night, and you can do Ducking Roundhouse into any strength bubble and keep the infinite going. I never realized the pure amount of bullshit that Thanos is until I actually played as him, my God hes like Akuma for ST on steroids:eek:
And Thanos not only builds meter quickly, he gets 4 bars too, thats a hellalot!
