Magneto is not a beginner character, and it can be hard to learn the game in general with such an execution heavy character. There is nothing wrong with trying out an easier character until you get used to the game. My original team in MvC3 was Magneto/Dante/Wesker, but I found Magneto and Dante to difficult at first. So I switched to a X-23/Ammy/Wesker team until I learned the game more and my execution got better.
this.
however, i did learn the game with zero and dante so my execution could be alright from the getgo… and boy did it pay off.
Hate to say it but you’re going to have to take a lot of L’s to learn Magneto. The more you play him the more fluent or “better” you will get with Magneto…but in the process you probably will lose a lot of matches.
My motto is always, “If you’re losing, you’re learning.”
Learn an easy BnB…pref Flight so you have a combo for both midscreen and corner. After that learn his movements then learn his tridash L/H/S…then go to town with matches and get those L’s.
I don’t mind losing and I’m pretty proud of my execution. When I got this game people warned me about Magneto being a pretty difficult character. But this time I have the knowledge to make the mistake of picking someone easier to learn.
Learning the game with Magneto is what I want, When I bought Blazblue, I picked Ragna to learn, now I can play the entire cast. When I bought SF4 I played Rog and Ryu to learn, now I play Gen, and I firmly believe I could of started with Gen and learned the game around him.
Same with Mags. I love this character, he is my (Joint 1st…) favourite Villain / Anti-Hero in the Marvel Universe. So I think I’ll stick with him and get me some L’s.
I started with Mags in day 1 Vanilla and hadn’t played fighting games seriously in about 4 years beforehand.
That being said, I got owned ALOT in the beginning but I’d probably have quit playing this game if I didn’t play Mags. IMO, he’s alot more intricate and freeform than >95% of the cast and it never feels like we’re at the point where he’s about to plateau to his upper limits like alot of other characters have, ie. Wesker, Wolverine, Taskmaster, Nova, Doom. Especially with all the new tech we’ve found the past month or two like Joker’s Magnetic Blast tech, the Repulsion Guard Stun tech, and the Repulsion incoming mixup tech, Magneto’s gone from arguably not top 10 in November to arguably top 4 in the game.
I remember back in November when people were saying that Storm, Nova, and Doom were all going to outclass Magneto. 6 months later and Magneto blows all 3 of those characters away.
Urg. Hyper Grav loops are hard wtf, keep missing the s.H after the super jump and then hyper Grav misses when I do hit them. :nunchuck:
I got bodied in a first to ten, lost 50 bucks and I am salty as hell, I wanna drop the damn game and kill babies too.
Shit, fuck, fuck.
Seriously, I’m so salty.
Anyway, Hulk, america, Hawkeye bodied me, tried all thet ime to snap hawkeye to evade his lvl 3 x factor but kept dropping the combos.
Most trouble I had was against hulk and his, ST.h, shoulder charge, If I blocked he went back and got away. Got nailed by that H so much I’m gonna kill someone.
Always Remember to ZONE out HULK. Even with an assist, he can get LAMED OUT HARD (more so than Haggar), if you bait out the assist, RAPE HIS ASS to prevent the assist call, to proceed zoning out Hulk.
Every time you saw Hulk run away with a Gamma Charge, that grants you a free Disruptah in most cases.
What character’s are you using? Magneto beats Hulk for FREE, all you gotta do is spam Mag Blasts on him to force him to jump, once he does, you can anticipate where he’s gonna land and hit him as he lands. Also, Preemptive Mag Blast + Tri-Jump L = no st. :h: for Hulk
Does anybody have a video of the midscreen emp loop im having trouble getting it to work. I can do the corner version but the midscreen is escaping me. Also another stupid question how many different types of rom variants are there and which would be the most practical for a pad user.
Thanks man, I tried to do just that (even worst since I have doom missiles too) but I got outplayed. I got too excited and tried to get in when I should have just lamed the shit outta him.
I know I win on paper, I fucked up my combos when I connected and that cost me at least 5 matches.
The matches went like this, I hit Hulk, snap hawkeye in, fuck up the combo to kill hawkeye, Magnus gets butchered by a Gimlet + Hyper charging star and chip damage, random charging star, whatever.
In goes my Captain America backed with Doom but I couldn’t get in because of the Hulk antiair assist and the fact I got frustrated and predictable.
I ran Magnus, Cap, Doom, when Mags died I got butchered, basically.
Oh, and I got so predictable with doom and disruptah that he used the gamma wave to fuck up my assists, lol.
The magnetic blast into air dash l didn’t even come to mind, I really got mindfucked and it all went downhill from there.
I’m thinking of going my old vanilla team, Mags, Doom, Ammy. I feel Doom as an anchor isn’t good enough.
Anyway, thanks a lot buddy, I’ll practice that standing h punishing shit in training.
I run Cap/Mag/Doom… I think you should switch your order…I got some nice setups in that order. I wish I could upload some matches for you but I have non recorded atm. Take that team to the lab…I guarantee you will see what I’m talking about.
Start of the match…if Captain touches you its 1mil Damage no DHC but uses two meters(builds 1).
Cartwheel + Mag Disruptor mixups
Corner reset with mag disruptor
…ect
Not to mention the great DHC potential of Mag to Doom on corners.
The dude that beat me said the same thing, funny.
But that wouldn’t be a Magnus team now… would it? I really wanna start with him.
I’ll try it anyways, thanks man. Magneto would come in with quite a bit of bar too I guess.
Okay, so I’ve been having a lot of trouble trying to cancel my addf S,H from a flight combo (@ 0:44):
[media=youtube]9neCC7HgaQg[/media]
Can anyone here explain this more clearly? I get an air-exchange every single time.
Alright I like to think of the flight cancel S as another dash. So you know the rhythm of pressing Dash then H…well when you want to go down, hold the joystick/pad down then Dash.H then S,H.
So If you were to watch my hands you’d see this:
L+M, H x4, Down+L+M, H, S, H
So basically …Dash H x4, Down Dash H, S H
I never heard of Joker until Toryuken Oh my ******* Hes a combo monster very good team synergy.
I think Fanatiq will lose against Joker
Or what i do is when youre doing about 5 fifth h in air as soon as it hits do quarter circle s wait a mili sec heavy in air wait till your on the ground do heavy again into hyper grav. Its the exact same result and easier to input or thats just me good luck with it 
nah
we will see. I wonder will the match happen today?
I heard that Fanatiq isn’t there so…
why can’t I get the emp loop to work
Ive only done it once n I think its fluke
but if I’m not getting exchange im missing
Its just a timing issue, you just gotta grind it out.
