MvC3: Magneto: Questions (and Answers) Thread

Hmm, I actually never used trijump M. In fact, its the only button I haven’t trijumped with from various heights. Is it as tactically important as jL? Or just for mixing things up? Damn I feel silly now if they’re really important. But better late than never I guess lol

I think they are important simply because of the various mix ups you can make off of those two instead of that ugly looking trijump :h: or :s:.

They look way less obvious and come out quicker. Kanta-Kun posted a video on this a while back if you’re interested:

The thing with tri-jump :m: is the funky cross-ups it makes and it’s vertical hitbox that is pretty decent for air-to-airing.

It’s a good thing to master. One could say it’s not essential, but I think we should be learning everything there is to learn about the character :stuck_out_tongue:
Currently getting that emp loop down, got some sick shit I stole from bloo and IchaZuki

Okay so I was playing casuals in vanilla marvel3 yesterday at a smash tournament and I swear MvC3 just makes me angry for the following reasons:
#1: Magneto really did get ass raped, damage wise. Me and this one friend of mine playing wolverine, sent, wesker and I was playing Mag,IM,Sent. The team I played was a good match (at least 6-4) against his even without DHC glitch (which, ironically, we never used during our whole time playing. incredible i know). But the thing is every time I got the hit confirm with a j:h: or a j:s:, I could actually add/b or add/f fast enough to the point where I could get 950k with Magneto one bar

><

#2: I swear if Magneto got his damage back; with same properties of vanilla’s j:h:, normal speed on add/b, and still have his Gravity moves, then I think people wouldn’t disregard Magneto as bottom A-tier, where he doesn’t belong in my opinion. There is so much dirty shit with him in this game then most care to think about and that’s what I think is funny too. Because when there comes a gdlk marvel2 like team later on in the year using the shit **WE **came up with, then everybody will get back to respecting the Magnus.

I’m pretty sure most people place Magneto at A+ tier right below the top 5. At least his damage didn’t get assraped as bad as Dante who struggles to get even 540k meterless.

Yeah Magneto is still insanely dangerous. I dont get why people tier him so low (and for Mag, A is low). If you want to have an S tier that includes, depending on your opinions, something like Zero, Viper, and Vergil (or whoever one would personally put), I can’t fathom Mag being tiered any lower than top of the next tier. I’m not even sure if I can name 5 better characters.

How many reps can are possible in the fast fly loop?

at least 6-7 reps. 8 if you’re lucky

I’ve never seen 8.

That’s if you’re lucky and don’t start it off with that gay shit. Aka magic series lol

What are ways to start it up so you can do more reps? And I’m guessing this requires going into fly mode more than once?

Nah just start it off with less hits. How you set up the combo is up to you.

Back to having problems doing fly mode from airdash forward :m: I keep doing an aerial exchange instead. Any tips on doing fly mode from airdash for combos?

And I’m guessing when the combos go pass the other character I’ve went too fast or slow?

To your second statement, yes that will happen if you go too fast. Try doing the air dash forward :m: with a bit of a delay between: j:m: [pause]adf j:h: :qcb::s: etc…

Sorry if I’m getting annoying it’s just that one part with the xx fly mode is like the only thing messing Me up with Magneto. Thanks for all the help

(from right to left) Do j.:m: xx :db::d::df::f::uf: :S: or at least make sure you’re hitting :f: properly.

The exchange happens because you’re not doing the fly motion properly by either not starting at :d: or not going from :d: all the way to :f:

Thanks, I’m finding that taking My fingers off the direction before I do :d::df::f::s: is helping

Gonna buy umvc3 this weekend

Never played Marvel before but I want to play Magneto to fucking death.

someone give me the lowdown on him?

Highly flexible character, excels at rushdown and mix-ups, can zone, great tools, has low dmg output if you don’t put effort in your combos (650 or something), has good damage if you put effort in your combos (820+), has 2 great assists and 3 great hypers.
What else can be said? Sick character, but you need to but your soul into him to have some success.

Funny I was also looking into Doom, Any ideas of who could replace Sent in your lineup?
