He can still combo into super.
Magnetic Shockwave can be combo’d into off a magic series knockdown.
Throw into a level 3 Gravity Squeeze or level 1 Magnetic Tempest is scary.
You could also hyper grav into Magnetic Tempest solo if you are willing to burn KFC.
His tri-jumps are different and take adjusting. He still has 8 way so quit crying.
He’s still Magneto.
Either you like the character or you like his brokeness in MVC2?
You tell me.
MVC3 is a different beast, get over it and accept change or play MVC2 for another 10 years or not at all while everyone else moves on to 3 and finds new ways to make Magneto a monster again.
Magneto’s biggest nerf is that Psylocke isn’t in the game.
.1 OMG he has an 8-way? That is a dumb thing to say know that his basic mix-ups will not be present.
.2 I like the character and his brokkenses. He doesn’t need to be god tier, but they don’t have to make him indistinguishable from his mvc2 counter-part either.
.3 So I have to eat the crap that capcom feeds me. If I have a chance to make one of my favorite characters of all time a beast again I will, but the fact that he has so many thing taken away from him makes me think of who capcom listened to.
His basic gameplay style needs to be there. They don’t have to strip him down to his boxers and make him a normal magic series character. The only reason Magneto was a god tier was becuase the rest of the cast had very little options when it came to high level play. Now everyone is looking god-tier, but magneto can have some fun too?
You clearly haven’t a clue of what you are talking about.
Magic series knockdown tempest- would that not require him to hit them? Do you what tier magneto was before his airdash mix-ups were discovered? It was very hard for magnto to get in without in, now that it takes a longer time for him to actually tri-jump, it makes me wonder if he will get AAA’d for free.
Throw- Once again, he needs the opprutunity to actually get in and do it.
KFC-so I get to combo tempest once a round?
Do you hear yourself? He needed to be toned down, not straight up nerfed, and I will be requesting his buffs at capcom-unity accordingly.
Dude he had like, 5 ways to set up his rom, and he was good with either storm or sentinel. There are other characters you know. I believe Haggar’s Lariat has psyblabe properties.
you cant be toned down and not nerfed that dosnt make sence
Take away his infinite, take away his extremley big damage combos (5 fierce) keep his basic gameplay in tact.
A nerf is when you take away something that is vital in high level play. If he loses his rom loop or his 5 fierce, will anyone complain. People don’t even know why magneto was god tier. As long as he was god tier, scrubs will call a nerf without even knowing why. Hell, magneto can be exactly the same as he was in MvC2 (change all infinites into timed loops) and he still would not be as dominnant. The goal was to make EVERYONE viable, if everyone is viable, how can magneto possibly be broken?
making any tool less useful or less damaging is a nerf,
all im saying is how many of you have actually played mvc3 magneto in the final build?
wait n see before going nuts
Trust me, I know. I play this fool religiously in MvC2. Just a little MSP (or rather MP) humor. That said, you can’t deny that her assist was arguably the best for him.
Seriously though, Mags is gonna be hurting a bit in a direct comparison to his MvC2 counterpart. Less useful air dash mix-ups, a (maybe?) non-cancelable sweep, and not being able to combo into Hyper Grav sans assist really sucks. Though the latter will be less of a problem in this game, I think.
On the flip-side, he got a grab buff and a level 3 that hits anywhere on the screen, it seems. And now we have X-Factor to play around with. That’s all quite nice.
Unfortunately, this game WILL turn him into a more standard magic series character, but that doesn’t mean that he’ll be bad since I think most other characters will suffer the same fate. Yeah, his mix-ups will suffer, but since he, unlike most of the cast, has an 8 way air dash, he will still have a bit of a natural advantage.
Also, I hope Lariat works like Psyblade. Magneto and Haggar would be fun to see together.
If capcom told you that ryu cant combo into any of his ultras, medium kick is no longer a poke, and his hadouken speed has been slowed down, would you wait n see or would try and stop it from happening?
I’d prefer to not have magneto have the trickiest Tri-dash in the game, topped with no basic Hypergrav xx Tempest and the most specific situations to combo some of his supers.
He is my favorite character in the marvel universe. I discovered MvC2 around 2003, but mags was my favorite long before that. I just don’t see one of my favorite characters less viable becuase a buncha scrubs don’t know how to block.
if the game was not street fighter 4 then not being able to combo into a ultra isn’t going to be much of a issue is it? id wait n see mainly because i cant stand ryu ,but what exactly has capcom told you about magneto? most infomation has come the beta builds all really is not lost and if im perfectly honest i dont belive they removed the instant overhead of his tri-dash on purpose i mean iron man was just like this for a long time as they made his dash to fast
but in short no i would not try n do something about it lots of people tried with ssf4 gen n capcom pretty much ignored them
just wait n see really for all you know come final build he could be easily the best in the game with nothing changed
Still not taking any chances. Waiting for that email from CU right now.
And grammar nigga, use it.
please don’t call me a “nigga”
thanks
Grammar son, use it.
Much better
pats head
He has three hypers, two of them he can combo into on his own. One of them we haven’t found a solo combo yet, but he can do it with assists.
Can someone explain this grab buff? interesting to hear that it is more useful this time round?
Yea I’m kinda wondering why they took out hyper grav tempest. No ROM, no 5 Fierce, neutered tri-dash for everyone because of how fast they land etc.
Least they could have did for him was leave in hyper grav tempest
In MvC2, Magneto’s punch grab encased them in purple ice cream and threw them, trapping them briefly. Sadly, it was able to be mashed out of almost instantly unless done in the air.
In MvC3, Magneto’s grab encases them in metal and throws them, trapping them briefly. According to sources (AKA Keits) this is un-mashable and can be used to start combos any time it connects.
Pretty much this: Magneto’s grab leaves the opponent stunned long enough for you to do a combo of choice.
EDIT" Guhh, beat. Diagonally.
This is the worst in justice.
They lied in his trailer. I hope they are trolling come release
