MvC3: Magneto: Questions (and Answers) Thread

Akuma, hawkeye, Wesker are three decent option for that position. In my order of preference. There are others though. Phoenix, for example works well there.

Amaterasu is the best anchor that isn’t Phoenix for Mag/Doom IMO.

I really want to play magneto ever since mvc2 but I failed at doing the rom execution was horrible. However I think it has improved some and I decided to load up mags in practice mode but then I realized I dont actually know any “real” combos. Starting off what is the most important combo for me to learn? I know there is “optimal” BE godlike combos when your extremely experience and comfy with him but what about just starting off. Thanks…

Why is Magento considered so much a lower Tier in Ultimate? I hear he lost some speed and damage but from what I’ve seen a Magneto in a highly skilled player’s hands can still be very devastating crushing opponents will with uncanny rushdown

He’s the same tier as he was in Ultimate. A+. Instead of definite top 5, he’s definite top 7 or something now which isn’t much of a change given that the cast numbers have increased.

Because 70-90% of Marvel players don’t want to put in THE work, so they just dismiss his, and several other character’s full potential.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Shots Fired.

Hard work pays off in the future.

Settai and someone else just level up their Mags. Good shit mastering the pad rom :tup:

I’ve been having trouble with IAD magnetic blast. I know it should just be the motion followed by MH~L plink but i can’t seem to get it unless I assign a macro for M+H (and I play on stick so having to reach that fourth button is awkward). Is there some trick I’m missing because even when the inputs are perfectly clean in training mode when I try it without macro-ing, it never ever comes out…

I’ve also been playing hella autopilot since ultimate dropped because I’ve been so busy with uni but now I got time to fully dedicate myself I noticed that I can’t trijump L as well as I used to, if even at all. The only one I can get consistently at a low enough height is off a neutral jump ADD L but when I try to ADDF its incredibly inconsistent. I just spent hours practicing till my hands cramped up but I’m nowhere near where I want to be… EMP loop is easier to do for me than tridashing…

Looking for a link on Ultimate ROM tips. I know it’s somewhere in those threads but I haven’t seen it yet. I have it down except for the land, nj :h:adf j.:m: j.:h: land part. I keep whiffing the first adf :m:

Thanks man feels hella good. Now I just need to get this EMP stuff and IAD MB on lock. Then my Mags is gonna be sooo in there

I can already tell that your only problem is that you haven’t been in the lab as much as you used to and that’s fine! All you need to fix your IAD, trijumping etc is to just hit up training mode and practice the things that you’re messing up on.

Once you’ve gotten your movement down, then proceed to practice on your BnB’s etc etc. Good luck with your training sessions and of course if you need help, then just come back to these threads and ask whatever questions you have about Magnus.

ok this is weird but has anyone gotten autocorrect air attacks with magnus like marvel 2 style?

every now and then when i pop into training mode and fuck around w/ magnus he will do an autocorrect j.s when im doing low trijumps

like it’s not consistent but it’s 100% autocorrect and it’s ridiculously fast

if it’s possible to make this thing consistent i think magneto just got even harder to block lol (esp. if you can do it with j.l god damnnn)

i just did it again and it looks like it enters the fly screen for no reason at all and then magneto autocorrects and bops them so its even harder to see

haha cool you don’t have to even do the S you can also reverse your dash at different heights and dash back around. fuckin ballerrrrr

89632, MH, S.

Whats this combo I see every Magneto player do where it looks like j.:h:adf j.:m:xx FLY j.:l: j.:h: [adf j.:h:] 4 - 5 times?

I see variations but the basic startup looks kinda like that, I think

That’s just the basic fly loop.

It’s also not worth doing unless you unfly in the corner since its damage is ass. Even the basic j:h: adf j:m: j:h: loop does more damage and transitions into Hyper Grav loop easier. It just looks boring.

Jump loop does look extremely boring.

Really? I thought it would do alot of damage because of all those :h:'s. I think I read somewhere you should use two button dashes for it. I’ve tried doing it with just tapping forward twice but they always drop to early

Starting with a tridash c:l::m::h::s: that shit only does like 400k if you end with a j:s:. It’s boring as shit too since all of us have seen and done it 100 thousand times.

Plus you can’t convert it off an air to air.
