MvC1: playing to win

This is a great thread, I’ve read every post, and it has helped me a lot. My only problem is that most of the discussion involves strategies for winning. While that does help, I’m also interested in learning some of the essential combos for top tier characters. The only one that I know some advanced combos with is Wolverine, but I really need to get better with other characters (I’m trying to learn Strider and War Machine). Basically, all I know with the rest of the guys is basic air combos, but they don’t always work, and I’m sure there are ways to do more damage with advanced combos.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any advice.

I think people who think MM is good, need to play people who used to play mvc1 then they can talk. And so people quit talking out your ass. These are like the people who think they know tiers in PJ.

How does Shadow Lady do? Is she even worth using?

Thanks in advance if anyone answers this.

shadow lady was ok. People would use Chun li and shadow lady. Duo team infinite was, have chun or shadow lady in front and the other in back and keep doing there lighting kick till they die.

Aren’t you the guy who tries to throw duos?

hey guys…i jus started playin mvc1. Pretty fun. Can anyone tell me the RV infinite…oh and where do u guys play on kaillera…if anyone still plays lol

its not that hard, lamo, someone calls a duo team you block then throw, it might not always work.

RV has 5 infinites… o_O

I’m guessing you mean the Jump FS inf. It’s Jumping HP -> Jumping HK, Land, Rejump, Over and over again. To set it up off of a Standing HP, you can either do a slow air combo into a late sj.fierce / c.short(OTG) -> c.strong -> c.fierce, /\ j.short -> j.strong -> j.forward -> [ j.fierce -> j.roundhouse / /\ ], or just do Standing HP, than wait, and do a Normal Jumping MK -> HP -> HK / /\ etc etc etc.

thanks im noob to this stuff

damn i was gonna post those infs but prozac beat me to it lol.

i wish i had some old footage from back in the day when this game used to be played hella, i think zeruel has a ton of ecc4 footage but i dunno. im kinda too lazy to write a novel megafighter, maybe dasrik can type some shit if hes bored :stuck_out_tongue:

How do I do Morrigan’s infinites? There’s a tutorial for a new inf that Marvel Knight made, but CV is down.

what are some strats with chunli and strider team…any good duos or stuff? im really noob

azn sup3rman aalot of the strider strats are posted in this thread, but you kinda gotta search thru it its scattered.

chunli is played like standard pixie char except she has less priority than the top tier, her basic strats are hopkick into jump fierce or jump rh, if it connects launch into jab short -> air super, or short fwd fierce into qcf+kk super, those are the basic basics i guess, lol im too lazy.

btw NeezyDeezy about those morrigan strats, just wait for dasrik to stop being awol or something. i dont play mid/low tiers for the most part so i dont know the specifics of those chars.

CV and that vid are back up (it’s under game videos-/tutorial vids-/MvC)

What sabin says is enuff. Also Chun Li has an infinite also.
Works something like this.

Launch jab,short,strong,Toe Tap,double jump repeat.

Also some other stuff for low tier or less played character is the glitch with Spidey/Venmon where during the duo do a Venmon web with Venmon at the point it hits do a web ball with Spidey.

It may never work :wink:

I don’t do Morrigan’s infinite. I don’t actually play Morrigan, I play Lilith…

…and seriously, do you want to be winning by way of infinite? It works, but it gets boring after awhile.

As for Strider strats, it boils down to:

  1. do dash c.forward a lot
  2. if it hits, chain into fierce roundhouse DP+kick
  3. when you get 3 meters, duo
  4. if your partner somehow dies, do orbs when you have meter
  5. when in doubt jump back fierce

Strider in a nutshell.

Utilize the artillery.

It may have been discussed.
Use all your artillery with Strider; dogs, charge blast, eagle bomb, long sword and formation A.
He has so many its hard to be predictable if its all used.
I admit though, I always forget to use dogs and formation A.
Can anyone say something about his formation A?
Does it connect to anything?

The best are:
1-Strider
2-Zangief
3-Jin

Red Venom isn’t accessable in the arcades, so I never get good comp from him.

Haha, funny. That’s a joke, right? Use the slow-as-fuck dogs of Strider, Jin #3, it’s got to be a joke.

No.

Why is it funny?
I get owned in MvC2, cause I’m revisiting it, but I one of the best anywhere in MvC1. I know what I’m talking about with Jin. He is a terror when properly used.
That’s why when someone picks their top three, it should be THEIR top three.
I think someone in a old forum on BH said it best…
I forget but he said something like "1 out of 10 people is a leader, the rest follow."
The other nine are boneheads that are scared to find their own way to win.

Edit: Dasrik, PM me the BH demon infinte and his other infinites.
Thanks in advance.
