MvC3: I'm Doing This For Mutantkind: The Magneto Team Thread

Mag/Doom(Missiles)/Dante(Jam) , Mag/Doom(Missiles)/Dante(Weasel), or Mag/Dante(Weasel)/Doom(Missiles)

Which of these teams deal with things best? The first one can compensate for Doom being a sort-of weak link by providing incoming mixups with Doom/Jam, but Mags loses out on weasel (There are still missiles though.) The second team has both assists working for Mags but I’m having a hard time utilizing Weasel for Doom. The last team is the traditional Point/Point/Assist build but loses out on TAC threats for resets, and Doom as anchor… sucks. I can use XF2 dante, but… meh.

If you have Doom anchor and want to TAC into him just use your 2nd character’s assist, in this case Dante’s (probably during a hyper grav loop), and then go for TAC while that character is in cooldown and it’ll go straight to the 3rd character. Also I like the 3rd team the best, just because having Dante second is so nice.

That… I did not think of that. That practically solves most of my problems with that team. Except for having Doom anchor. Might as well just blow XF2 on Dante to kill/save? I’m dead if doom is left anyway.

you have to time the TAC to hit almost right after the 2nd characters assist hits.

What would Magneto get from Felicia? I’ve been using the two together but when Magneto is out I usually use Akuma’s tatsu assist because I cant find a use for any of Felicia’s assist for Magneto? Sand Splash can help relaunch after a combo but thats the only thing I can think of.

thats pretty much what felicias assist is good for. OTGS. also you can use the rolling buckler for unblockables. and cat spike gives you a ground bounce which you can get creative with

I’m starting to think Magneto/Doom/Morrigan is the best point Magneto team.

Mag/Morri/Doom , Mag/Dante/Sent, Mag/Dante/Doom.

Ryu/Mag/Sentinel, in other words RayRay’s team, was dabbling with Dante/Vergil/Mag but found Mag much more effective as a secondary character rather than anchor. Sentinel drone assist and Mag’s pressure FTW.

Magneto/Doom/Vergil and Magneto/Doom/Amaterasu > Magneto/Dante/Doom

What makes you say this?

My main squad was Hawkeye/Morrigan/Dr.Doom but I’ve been playing Magneto for a few weeks in hopes of replacing Hawkeye.

I actually liked the idea of Morrigan/Magneto/Doom because I can TAC after Morrigans Finishing Shower into Magneto and add on some damage since Morrigan doesn’t hit all that hard. And do you like Shadow Blade assist for Magneto or Dark Harmonizer?

I’ve just started to learn Morrigan but I don’t like Morrigan on point at all (using Dark Harmonizer now). I think this MorriDoom should be ran Magneto/Doom/Morrigan on most matchups. The team can work Morrigan/Magneto/Doom if you can infinite with Magneto into a TOD, but currently I think Magneto with Missiles has the best options at the start of the round and can TAC into Doom for more meter for Morrigan bullet hell.

The only noticeable weaknesses I see with the team is that it can’t TOD off of a throw and that Doom doesn’t get a good neutral assist. The team doesn’t really seem built for Doom in mind though since he’s basically just a battery to build up for bullet hell.

Hm. I’ll have to try this. I need to learn some TAC infinites with Dr. Doom. Magneto/DrDoom/Morrigan is a great order.

Morrigan is a good point character against some, but teleport spammers do her in. I always seem to crush people with XF Level 3 Morrigan, especially if I have Astral Vision activated. I just hate how sometimes Morrigan doesn’t even make it out on the screen, but that’s because Dr. Doom usually handles everything.

Run OTG assist if you’re other character needs it. Otherwise I’d run low assist for unblockables after a throw (no damage scaling!) or meaty incoming setups.

magneto/felicia/akuma sounds like a good team.
Maggy can do ~850-870k off of a tridash L, cr.LMHS combo with an OTG assist. Akuma also provides a solid neutral/lockdown assist for both characters.

low assist = stupid good mixups and unblockables.

Magneto/Akuma(tatsu)/Doom(missiles) is what works the best for me.

I can’t really hit-confirm when Tatsu assist connects so I just abuse the Missiles. Any hint on how to make use Tatsu on hit? (outside of a corner)

Boxdash jMH into crHS/S directly
Boxdash L blast into crHS
Wavedash then S

These seem to be the best options for Magneto to confirm off Tatsu

I’m not sure who to put second in a Magneto/x/Skrull team. Any suggestions?

Magneto/Skrull/Sent?

I mean I know you want to use Super Stupid Skrub anchor, but his assists do not do much for Magneto’s neutral nor mixups, and Magneto on point needs a horizontal assist for his neutral, and Sent drones is a very good assist for both characters, so why not that? You can also use other horizontal assists, but Drones is both Magneto and Skrull’s best assist so try that out. You can also run Missiles if you want.

I’ve tried sentinel before and his mobility and huge hurtbox are very off-putting. He’s just so clunky and awkward that his assist just isn’t worth it to me. As for Doom I’ve tried him as well and have used him a lot in the past. It’s definitely a possibility. I’ve been playing around with Akuma and Felicia in the second spot, any synergy between mags and either of them? (aside from unblockables with felicias assist)
