MvC3: You are Defeated: The Magneto Combo Thread

So I have a question for all you Magnet-o-philes in here (c wat I did thar?):

I like Magneto as a character, and I basically like his style in this game, but I’m kind of turned off from playing him because his playstyle (though difficult to master) seems to be basically one-dimensional. It’s rush-rush-rush-mixup-rush-rush-mixup-etc. I’m much more into characters that can really vary their tactics to mess with the opponent (Deadpool, Doom, Dormammu, Ammy, Trish, Hsien Ko, etc.). Does Mags have any really useful variety like that? Is it just colored because people are used to playing him a certain way for 10 years?

he has one of the best zoning tools in the game in EM disruptor. So he can mix it up to a degree.

I’ll put up a series of me using him in ranked matches. But ya, ecZ got it right. You can rush or run with him with the right assists

If someone could put up a video of their hands while doing the sj H addf H rom loop that would be amazing. Also, if you could record the sound of the buttons and that being hit in the video as well that would help a lot with getting the rhythm down.

Cheers.

If it helps you, the j.H addf j.H of the Rom must be done like this.

jump and hold downforward, and then press j.H then the other 2 buttons immediatly after the first j.H, mags will addf automatically, then wait a split of second and input the 2nd j.H, then repeat.

thats the method I use and so far I can get 6 reps almost each time.

Ugh, I still can’t get his normal re-jump BNB. Feel like such a tool. How quickly after the H - adf do I want to hit the M? Like, do I want the air dash to complete? or do I want to cancel the dash asap with the M? Like seriously, this seems like such cake for everyone and yet i can’t get it. Hopefully some day I laugh about this lol

i cant get this down for shit. im in training mode right now and i do D, j. C, dash forward j. B, j. C. then i cant connect anything after that. help anyone?

This, sadly. I have no idea where I’m mistiming my button presses, but I can almost never get the re-jump H to hit. It’s gotta be something dumb I’m doing wrong. Way too experienced to be unable to execute a simple BNB

For the first time of the loop delay the j.B and j.C after the air dash forward. It’ll surprise you how much you can delay those two hits. You want to find a balance between you lander faster and keeping them high enough.

If you want to go for a relaunch from the adf, j.B, j.C then delay it as much as you can. The relaunch combo is much easier than the ROM anyway and does more damage i believe.

By relaunch do you mean the jump up C when you land? Or are you saying after the B,C land and hit S for a normal (re-)launch?

Yes, the latter.

My friend came up with this little mini loop and I tried to modify it to be all heavy attacks. What do you guys think ??

That’s his fly fierce, I usually do that instead of even attempting the rom since it still does good damage while being really easy

ya thats pretty old but a good one

Aaaaaah damn, thought I figured out something new lol. Still a pretty good combo. Near ridiculous to land it online tho

Is IronMan’s OTG assist fast enough OTG after one of Mag’s combos?

Yes it is, just tested it.

Also I just wanted to point out that the combo here [media=youtube]kG6bNJH4WiI"[/media], and the corner variation on his channel both make about 1.8 to 1.9 meters.

That means a few blocked EM Distruptors at the start of the round + landing that combo = Grav Squeeze ender for ridiculous damage :woot:

still tryna get this down.

is that a super jump? because whenever i do jump C it never hits.

No it’s just a normal jump, here’s a tutorial on how to do that combo: [media=youtube]fd8hLZpbLp0"[/media]

And the hands to go with it! Sorry for low quality. But its mainly for the sound. Just listen to the beat
