MvC3: Magneto: Questions (and Answers) Thread

At least we didn’t get asked the same question literally every couple of days lol. Oh well I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened. A lot of people got turned off by his nerfs, but I knew eventually they’d come back :rofl:

Anyways this plinked box-dash MB stuff is crazy. How come this shit autocorrects? Its not even fair lmao. Oh and how useful would you guys say his SJ, ADDF~MB L tech is compared to the box-dash version?

ADDF would make it way easier for you to be aggresive especially if youve got drones on screen… both useful imo

Nope, on stick. I can imagine that it’d be much harder on pad, though.

I kno this is kinda off-topic but i want to thank all of y’all for the tips and advice that you give on mags i feel ive improved alot due to yall so thanks. Also thanks blood for the tips on sent as well i think my new team is gonna be destroyin cats once i put more practice in. Now to prepare for evo 2013 lol

Its always a great feeling when you can tell your Magneto is advancing. I’ve been using him since Vanilla and I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface with him. I think thats what really makes me like him as a character (besides his unimaginable level of swag of course). There is always something to learn or improve with him, and I don’t think any other character in this game has the level of depth that Magneto has except for Viper

There are a few. Dante, Viper, Magneto, Sentinel and even Doom. and I know Doom seems out of place here, but there’s so much “technology” that you don’t even see used, like his instant overheads, max damage combos, really strong dash canceling blockstrings… This game is young, character still have a loooooot to show.

Then there’s the lower tier characters that probably have so much hidden shit that we dont yet know about.

its a great feeling knowing your advancing period in the game. Idk how y’all feel about this but why does everybody claim that a person online cant be good with magneto or good period. Some people from gfaqs were talkin this dumb shit when someone asked to play a good magneto online. Im not saying that an online mags is gonna be on some joker,fanatiq, etc type shit but to say that you cant have a good mags online is completely stupid imo.

Dont go on gamefaqs. for every good poster there’s 5 dumbasses.
You can play a decent Magneto online, though you will never have consistent results there.

That is unless you’re playing one of us. We. Are. Swag. Personified.

definitely true lol there are a few people i like from gfaqs that i do play with but like you said the amount of trolls and dumbasses there are astounding.

Heh its not to much different then here to be honest. The Magneto board is really the only section of SRK I actually like and can stand. The rest of the site is to much of a circlejerk imo. Both sites have their great and crappy players, and both sites have their trolls and posters who actually try to help people.

Oh yeah man love jam session+ c vipers unblockable. Magneto fuzzy guard is so godlike i love his moveset too.
Such an great charachter. Wonder if someone will discover some new tech.

We’ve had new stuff come up from several sources, every month. or so xD

BTW; not saying that everyone at gfaqs sucks. Back during SF4 vanilla i spent a lot of time there and there were a lot of really good players. but the dumb people ruined it for me.

I only started playing Magneto at the end of Vanilla, which is why it was perfect for me to be chosen by Magnus to play in Ultimate because it was like playing a new FUN character, that exciting vibe I got when I play Sentinel, Taskmaster, Nova, and even Dormammu

After going to the lab I found out that all boxdash Magnetic blasts will autocorrect, and it’s not a property of the plink’d Magnetic blast, all you have to do is input the M.Blast before crossing over and it’ll autocorrect for you, it’s an inherent property of the move itself. The only time Magnetic blasts wont autocorrect is when the blast comes out exactly on top of your opponents head, but you should be covering yourself with a horizontal assist when doing boxdash blasts in the first place.

So once again I don’t buy the plink’d Magnetic Blast stuff outside of the autocorrect normals.

I don’t think it’s a matter of whether or not the plink’d versions autocorrect but whether it’s a safer solution i.e. it being faster to input/more lenient

its faster and theres no room for error like there would be if you did dash then mblast really fast. i do that for my backwards boxdash mblasts and even after grinding it out for almost 2 weeks i still fuck it up sometimes, meanwhile i get plink mblast everytime.

case in point, it is indeed a matter of speed and efficiency rather than the autocorrect properties. whatever works for you though.

just started picking this game up and magneto is on my team, been trying to get my BnB’s down, but this hyper grav loop is giving me a little trouble. They keep dropping when I go for the 2nd hyper grav after I airdash H > s.H xx Hyper grab… any threads on this or tips will be appreciated =)

Super jump real early after the first hyper grav.

This character is damn hard man. I think I need to re-read the system mechanics for this game. I’m suffering from early game hatred. I JUST WANT TO STYLE WITH MAGNETO.
