if they get and they block it u mean???
for the assist question, no, i am talking about if they get hit and they are sent to the top of the screen.
I was thinking that i could do a typhoon and that would force them to block and then i can just wait for them and do a s.hk if they are infact in normal jump mode?
Also, how do u feel about cable’s assist, i think it is too nice.
- instant
-it is multihit/combo-able - does massive damage on a pure hit (24 on cable)
-nice angle/arc + fullscreen
-homes in (like bh and cammy etc.)
the only thing it doesn’t have is invincibility
it does have invisibility although not like ken’s AAA which is totally invisible… u just need to time the assist right and it can be invisible…
Pretty much any hit that allows recovery in the air puts the opponent in super jump mode.
good read
I have a question. I saw this combo for Cable’s FSD:

Can someone explain to me how to do this?
Found a good set of videos if you guys haven’t seen Mitsu play Cable against Jwong. His cable is actually pretty decent, esp this vid:

Mitsu knows how to throw the right grenade at the right time at the right location… and that’s pretty key to a good Cable. Hopefully you guys find the videos useful… I sure did.
Thanks for the videos. It’s much appreciated. n_n
what part? all the moves are right there.
I meant the button input for the combo, but I think I got it.
cr. lk, lp, sj. lp, lk, mk, HP, lp, land, j. lp, lp, HP, cr. pl, HK, cr. lk, cr. HP + Thanos Assist (capture), dash backwards, HP xx AHVB
I think you can do it without dashing backwards though…
On that 14th match, from 1:13 to 1:16 was hilarious and crazy at the same time. That was some Advanced Tactics II stuff right there. Another thing, if you pay attention to the part where he kills Sentinel at 1:16, he was able to get an extra jab out which is normally not possible. This was brought up numerous times ago (more specifically in Viscant’s “Almost Completely Useless MvC2 facts” thread that I can’t find anymore) but I guess nobody ever cared enough to find out how to exactly do it. Does anyone know the timing of this? It looks like you may have to hit it just before you hit the ground like some just-frame tech or something.
It’s true, it will work, it’s an overhead
random question, a bit unrelated…
why is this different than megaman’s buster shots? you can block a jumping one high… if you couldn’t, that would create some interesting things for megaman vs. sentinel…
Ok THANK
Buster counts as a special move hence can be blocked in any direction.
I have a question: What is the best way to deal with people who call an assist and then super jump towards you?
I usually have Doom as backup so if they Sj towards without an assist covering the ground, I can call Doom --> dash under --> rocks connect --> AHVB.
But when they call an assist I am clueless. I can’t dash under or I’ll eat drones. By the time I can see they have Sjed, its usually too late to scimitar since it will just go behind them. I can’t assist punish unless I’m expecting them to call the assist and my AHVB traps them before they Sj (which is difficult unless they using a really obvious pattern). And one can only dash backwards so many times until they hit the wall. Any tips?
edit I was thinking maybe I need to change my strategy to cover more of the airspace if they are particularly trigger happy? It would probably help in this situation, I need to test
Why doing an air HK grenade is harder than the LK ones? is there any tips someone would post here?
The trick with cable is learning how to react to things that your opponent does with appropriate actions to shut them out. If you can react to a SJ you can SJ up with them and fp gun them down, depending on whether they were full screen or not. Appropriately sending up a scimitar can also work or the underused cr. hp which also hits angles that j. gun and sj. gun don’t hit. If all your opponent is doing is dropping an assist and sj. toward you if you ground them with a sj. fierce you can punish drones with ahvb and catch their point at the same time in block stun. One trick that people do to watch out for is blocking your sj. gun and dashing after it. You will see sentinels block, push, and fly. If its a character with an airdash you likely want to use the gun after they’ve used their dash, although this is situational. If someone makes it past your first layer of zoning make sure you change your position. Observe what your opponetn’s habits/tendencies are and use accordingly. One tihng to note is I would say in many cases, you do not want to SJ before your opponent does. A lot of beginning cables get scared and sj, and then get mixed up/crossed up as they hit the ground. Cable’s mobility is too shitty and you will give them a lot of advantages if they fake you out and youre stuck floating around the air while they move around on the ground. Remember that cable is all aboutspace control. You want to keep your opponent on the same plane as you. As long as he is there, he’s not doing shit against you. The situation changes when you don’t have bar, so thats when your cable has to be really mobile and block well.
Also, You need to watch out and make sure you’re not being herded into a corner. You need to look for opportunities to switch sides with your opponent if they make a positioning mistake, get hit yby random grenades, etc.
what is cable staple combos? I just started playing today and I like him but i am getting raped before i can even do anything.
So ive read most of this thread and I think I understand the AHVB. I was testing it out on the 360 and all ive been doing is half cir up+pp and it works everytime but to my understanding thats not the right way to do it, it only works because they made it easier on the consoles i read earlier in the forums. Correct me if im wrong please =/
If I remember correctly, you destroy me all the time with Team Duc…
Maybe you are the wrong person… yes that is correct…
