Marvel versus Capcom 2 - Ruby Heart: In depth

Threads dying…
adding a bit.
d+Lk and storm proj, d+mk, HP, qcf + K, dash d+Hp combos.

hey ill e…i saw the video…very nice stuff man. i am a big ruby heart fan and most of the stuff you showed on the vid were the things i do. The TK follow up combos didnt know about though. i use the ghost super to set up safe DHCs as well. ghost > hail, ghost into servbots, ghost > orbs are nice as well.

she also has a throw trick with her ghost attack. drop a ghost, throw with FP so she throws the opponent into the ghost. now she can drop another ghost while that one is still on screen. and if it connects with the opponent…she can drop another. you can have three ghost on the opponent and one flying on screen. or, i believe, two ghost flying on the screen at the same time.

ruby vs sent: the humilating combo…

j.fp, land, s.lp, s.lp, s.fp + cykes AAA XX fp anchor, hop forward, s.lp, s.lk, s.fk XX barrel super…

my current ruby team is ruby AAA, gambit proj, cykes AAA

ill post up combo and mix up madness later…peace out.

My new favorite Ruby team is…

Team Heart - Rubyheart/Blackheart/Doom I really like this team :slight_smile:

hmm, i just started using ruby heart, and i can’t seem to get the trap to work.

I’'m using c.lp, whip, fountain, repeat. The c.lp doesn’t seem to connect with the whip. Is there an assist i’m missing?

Its probably easier if you do d+LK, d+mk - from there you can do Hp, D+HK if you are close enough or after the HP qcf + 2P (Red ball super).

Tip for anyone (like me) who has trouble landing a jab after her Hyperschw’ super - you can do d+ Lk Otg, s MP, qcf + Hp, up + Hp , Hyperschw’
Works well when you factor in she ends up behind her opponent from the last D/F.

Also for Hyperschw’ - you can do f, u, f, u/b, d/f and land the lp juggle (you sometimes have to move forward slightly). Not a great method but if you find that you aim f instead of d/f for the 3rd redirect you can still correct your stuff up.
This thread probably should be stickied.

bumping again

Ruby Heart/Son Son has a nice lockdown combo on the corner…

how’s that lockdown combo?

I don’t use Ruby/sent but I geuss a few do

Linking Ruby Hearts Hyperschw’ to HSF at sj height …
launch, sj Hp Hyperschw’ f,b, d/f - HSF …etc
on the ground you probably just wanna do d+LK, d+mk, Hp, into her ship super then DHC.

sent can do launch + Ruby Anti air, sj Hk, fly u/f Lk, Rp, lk, mk, DP RP.

whats a good low tier ruby team. No doom, no top tiers.

i’m working with ruby\xxx\colossus. Kinda need a 3rd to fill the spot. When you’re making up a ruby team, what are you looking for her to be effective? I like the collosus AA because it plows shit, its an AA and it does beefy damage.

I 'd say sent 2nd (even though you said no top tiers) - just cos of the DHC stuff plus collosus has good throw onto drones stuff.

But with no top tiers I’d say put in maybe Hulk? ( huge A1 +A2 damage - although I forget which assist gives her the ship super, plus she can set up gamma crush stuff). Launch, ghost super frame cancel to hail works - can’t see why gamma crush wouldn’t.

Thanos might be worth a try too - get alot of meter - Hk, ghost super frame cancel to powerball, should be able to get another powerball. Not sure if collosus can throw people onto bubble assist - I’ll test it later. Thanos would have some throw onto Ruby Heart assist set ups too - even though his throw range is kinda shitty IIRC.

No one else comes to mind (maybe marrow? charlie?) - playing Ruby without Doom, storm, sent or IM kinda leaves her short changed IMO.

Collosus has a good combo with Ruby anchor - I’ll look it up - I think it was on one of the pimp production vids.

EDIT - my bad - Hk ghost super to powerball doesn’t work - I thought powerball came out quicker as DHC.
Collosus can only throw people onto the bubble if he is near the corner.

Pimp Productions vol 3
j Hp (and Ruby anchor?), hk, sj Hk, anchor hits, still in air Hp, Giant swing, c+Hk otg, tackle into powerdive.

Try Tron. Dash Short->Fwd+Tron->Fierce, dash Fierce->RH xx HyperSchw’ is more than 90% on Cable. Also you can do easy HyperSchw’ combos to Lunch Rush (ground Fierce xx HyperSchw’, f3, u3, uf3, b3, df whiff and cancel to Lunch Rush a bit after she starts moving down). With 2 supers you can kill anyone with normal health…

thnx. Ruby ron is nasty.

I’ve been trying to figure out good low tier teams w\ ruby. Doom isn’t low tier by the way. She has some promising shit, its just she seems like she doesn’t have great chemsitry with low tiers. Theres nothing really there to help her spike game out. any ideas?

random ruby ron shit:

any character that is able to dhc into ruby and kill a character is beastly because you can follow up with ruby’s unescapble guard breaks. So you’ll probably need a character that can use ruby ron assist.

for instance

chun overhead series, dash, c.lk+tron, c.lk, qcf+kk let it ride out, ruby dhc qcf+pp, you hit for a couple if you want, unrollable otg c.lk, launch, lp, lp, fp is 133 or something like that. If you did one combo before this like a mini air combo or something behind tron and then you landed this combo they would be dead.

after the opponent dies and ruby should still be in: j.fp guard break, qcf+pp let them out early, unrollable s.lk\c.lk + tron, and finish off this part of the combo. You can add something to else to kill that character but I stopped messing with it. This right here though is guranteed 50% on cable.

its a mini death pattern, 1.5 characters off one hit. that should give you enough of an advantage to win easily. Maybe more if you want to add to it. I’m sure theres some kind of weird reset since the opponent is just bouncing on the rings.

More Ruby / Tron stuff.
At sj height - Ruby can combo into Lunch rush with sj jab/Hp Hyperschw’ f,b, d/f XX Lunch Rush.

Suprisingly f,b,f,u/b,d/f DHC to Lunch rush doesn’t combo.

whats rubys unescapebale guard break? doe she have one mid screen?

Ruby Heart/Anakaris/Son Son… I use it decently against top tier teams. Ruby/Son Son has that nice lockdown trap combo on the corner against non-flying and some flying characters(i.e. Cable, Sentinel).

I think I was the only one using this team in the whole universe… :rofl:
