I just want to share how I have pregressed with Ironman. When i first started with ironman my best come was luanch, magic series, and thats it. I liked IM because of his PC. One daY I d/l the tribute to IM video and I was amazed and then determined to do those moves. I read up on the combos in here and practiced for hours and hours. after many hours i was able to do the infinite, but it wasnt over yet becuase i had to learn to connect PC. After that i had to learn his air infinite which i cant do too well. I also learned how to do a self infinite set up using launch sj.u+fp ad/df lp. u+fp. I learned how to do a few other stuff as well. My biggest problem is using them in a match. I can not do these combos when playing against someone or the computer. I also use the controller so is using a joystick easier? Finally I believe IM is the hardest person to use in this game.
Yea, I know how to do his unfly inf. and his other inf setups, still working on the jap setup inf. But I have trouble doing these inf in a real match. Especially since his rushdown sucks. The big four r kind hard to hit, since they will cross up, much faster than im can attack. Is it that my im sucks, I know how to do his inf setups, even with assists, but getting that hit is hard, his laucher has good priority, but crappy range. Whats an im to do? If any ironman master could help me on strategy, that would help. My team is chill: im aaa, iceman proj, sent ground.
my other ironman team is, anakaris variety, im aaa, doom aaa. any tips.
I just started playin mvc2 and i’ve spent a few days workin on inf setups cause to me landing the PC is easy, just keeping the inf going and cashing in when you can is what is hard to judge… i’ve ignored trying the jap setups cause i don’t see the big deal when you can solo inf off of HK launcher
combos i been using:
c.LK, s.HK /\ sj.f+HP xx df+PP, ad.LP, ad.MP, ad.u+HP -> inf
c.LK + sent-proj/psy-aa, s.MP -> inf
c.LK, c.MP, c.HK + psy-aa -> inf (large characters)
c.LK, c.MP, c.HP + psy-aa -> inf (small characters)
when i wanna land PC i just land from inf and do hcb+LP xx qcf+PP
Have you tried inf to s.HP into PC instead yet? I find it’s much more reliable than repulser blast into PC, at least in the corner (but you’re generally gonna get them into the corner after an inf anyway).
Good luck with your IM 
patience, smartbombs, range, defense, plan attack/traps
ad.d+HP and smart bombs are the shit, just gotta watch out vs cable
yeah for some mysterious reason my team got better (Ironman, Doom, Psy). Smart bombs are useful with ironman. You have to play with them. Sometimes you let them hit and sometimes just let them miss on prupose, but when your ready to attack. Follow the bombs and land a combo and of course if u can do the infinite. Also use assist to your advantage. Depending on how my opponate plays. i will choose which assist I want to use and, most importantly, Ironman can start his infinie on almost any assist. Figure out a way that you can make it work and you ironman game will be up a notch.
power inf starter with dhalsim-b:
c.LK, s.HK + dhalsim-b /\ sj.HP, dhalsim hits, u+HP, inf
