MvC3: Magneto: Questions (and Answers) Thread

After playing around with it more I realised you can’t get the ADDF if you double plink lol (or am I wrong?). Yeah the box dashing M.Blasts seem like a simple and effective alternative right now until I can get the ADDF kara blasts down, cheers.

You guys probably don’t feel it as much, but holy shit is Mags amazing. I’ve been running Iron Fist anchor since Ultimate’s release and I’ve been looking to replace him with someone strong with an assist with similar properties to IF’s Rising Fang. So yeah, almost 6 months of IF and my god does Mags feel like the slickest thing ever after that.

Yup Mags is godlike and always was godlike, and most of us here just love playing Magnus more than any other char. He has so much swag and tech. But :P, if you only tasted vanilla Magneto it does not feel as good, the shit he had in vanilla was derpy as hell.

Don’t bother with double plinks or any of that bullshit XD, I have no idea what’s that even for, just super jump and at max height or almost max height Air Dash D/F and input L Magnetic Blast and it will come out but the timing is stricter than the box dash. Generally I don’t like super jumping vs char’s with stupid dash speed who can easily mix you up on landing by simply dashing around your landing spot, so you’d want to do Boxdash blast’s anyways, a box dash blast is basically a felicia air delta kick with no hurtbox and a bigger hitbox and is +20 on block instead of +12, heck it’s probably +30 or something more stupid in level 3 xfactor.

is 800k respectable for a 1 meter 1 assist corner bnb? its not optimized cuz im still not that great with magnus (day 2…) but i think its alright. works with both sentinel and vergil… cant seem to get them both in one combo. its mblast loops into hyper grav into assist then tempest

800-823 is good damage. To break that you need optimal starters/emp loops/j.S grav loops

Hard question since there’s so much variation and improvisation that you can implement into his combos. There’s literally over 10 variants of Magnetic Blast loops and they can all transition into ROM or Flight combo or EMP loop or Hyper Grav loop. ROM has the best corner carry but it doesn’t do as much damage as midscreen EMP loop or the Alioune blast loop. As long as you hit 800k with one meter, you’re doing fine since a DHC will kill most threats.

I don’t even notice any of Magneto’s nerfs anymore aside from the DHC Glitch nerf.

if emp loops arent char specific i wouldnt mind learning them… i want a good balance between meter and damage. still learning the j.s plink

What are you using right now as a BnB?

alioune blast loops, havent implemented hyper grav or roms into the end yet since im not familiar with magneto’s hitstun… its certainly not as easy as zeros haha

Works on every character. You only need two reps for 940k+ damage using 1 bar but If you already have a bar…one EMP loop, whatever into Vergil/Sent can build two bars for Tittie Squeeze

Works on every character, but is a pain on raccoon. I know that much :stuck_out_tongue:

from what you guys are telling me it seems like emp loops are his best corner combo… how come no one uses them? execution barrier?

dont need squeeze, i just dhc to vergil swords and gg.

RayRay uses it and Joker uses it.

Same reason every Magneto you see on stream not named Joker or RayRay still do standard flight loop at all.

People be lazy.

So I need some help at timing magnus’ hyper grav loop. I seem to be dashing down too late to bounce them high enough to get them with the grav but I still manage to get my two H’s in. When do I need to dash down?

What’s the best midscreen and corner Magneto BnB to use with Spencer’s slant shot assist and Wesker’s OTG? The most I can do is around 750k at the moment.

Be sure you super jump high enough first. If you don’t, the loop won’t work.

i’d probably say either flight loop to corner add/f j:h: unfly :h: or one of his magnetic blast loops.

Do you have the exact notation for those? The mag blast one, especially.

there all in the ultimate thread and on youtubez =/

here’s notation for one of the magblast loops

Cool. Thanks. One more question, though:

Does anyone have any special tips on box-dashing mag blasts? I keep trying to plink it, but I can’t do it to save my life.

As a Rufus player in SF, not being able to plink something is driving me crazy. lol

probably just either doing too slow or fast. can you record|upload what you’re trying to do?
