MvC3: Magneto: Questions (and Answers) Thread

Hyper-grav over and over at superjump height. Obviously don’t do it right when he’s below you, but I think level 4/5 frank is really overrated and as easy as anyone else to take out if you just zone him and catch him in a lockdown assist.

Treat him like haggar IMO, zone him out. Gravity moves work pretty well too

Anyone who’s been watching fchamps stream lately I need to know something; what is he doing when he’s throwing those magnetic blasts like he does?

I want to know because I have some things in mind that could change up my magneto game

Magneto is such a cool character to play but I can’t even come close to doing his air dash combos! Amy basic tips out there?

explain or give me the link

practice practice PRACTICE!!! You will start to get it after spending the right amount of time in the Lab.

He’s doing the plink addf MH Magnetic Blast L with the reverse TK motion.

I think he means the jump back Magnetic blast spam and the jump forward magnetic blast spam. It pretty much fills up the whole horizontal space from ground to jump height while he calls in assists to cover the rest.

It’s very effective, but do not want.

thx guys for all the tips, i will keep practicing!

How are you guys inputing magnus’ j. :h: and or .j :s: in regards to when tri-dashing ? Irregardless of how fast I input the buttons after tri-dashing I can never get them to come out. I’ll hear the animation, but the actual move doesn’t come out before he’s grounded. Only success I have is sj’ing (and quite a bit) and then tri-dashing :confused:

That’s the only way they can come out. It’s too slow otherwise from just normal jump tridashes.

yeah, his normal jump tridash J.L is too godlike. the only time I use them is when I want to empty jump OS or superjump.

Which do you guys find easier to play magneto with: Square gate or Octagonal gate?

squaregates for life.

The thing is I have to super jump quite the height, almost to where nearly half of the character model is embedded in the hud. You guys piano’ing the input after ADDF ? And that brings me to the normal jumping :l: I can hit it about 50% of the time, essentially same issue with that as well, which is integral to his offense as mentioned.

Much appreciated as always.

Are you dashing M+H or L+H? Because there’s input lag on whatever button you used to dash so your normal will come out way later. ie. Tridash jL’s should be done with M+H and tridash jH’s should be done with L+M.

I use the super jump S in the corner for the amazing option select/oki you get off of a j.S xx Fly

Neither, I dash with :l: + :m:. Makes life easier with the mag blast combo’s and fly loop. Alright, I’ll try tri-dashing with the aforementioned when I get home, thanks for the advice.

I never knew that…good to know.

Flight loop is easier with M+H. Less movement and less work for your fingers.
