[Newbie] Magneto Thread - Q & A

you guys are all wrong!! from what i have seen it is an inf… because arent infinites… continued over and over again if u want and u can end with with a super then dhc… etc etc… ive seen it at the mall… u sj. with mag then immediately addf and he is low/close to the ground when he addf then he does the hk… its kinda like IM’s lk ,lk (trips), sjc, add then lk,(bounces them off the ground), then inf starting with lk, mp, etc etc… the timing is very crucial but it can still be done!!

and he was doing the claw method, and yes i have seen that sj. hk addf hk inf on sent!! i can only do about 5 reps!! :sad:

You cannot to my knowledge chain sj ad/df rh alone. You can with storm, i dont think you can with mags. Its hella easy to chain ad/df lk, RH for an infinite tho.

Edited to say ill prolly get flamed cause of a programmable pad chaining that shit.
Its very hard to do by hand, im positive a pad could do it.

You can do [sj.hk addf sj.hk] on Sentinel.

Yeah, that one is always fun for a few reps after you guard cancel HSF evil

Oops, misread your post.

im telling u !! ive seen it with my own two eyes!! its RH alone!! its not that hard!! well not for the guy that does it atleast. :amazed:

acutally illan_3rd is right, you can connect tri jump rh on a normal character whos ducking. Its VERY hard to do and really not worth the execution needed for it. I used to practice it for a while and i only would get about 3 rh’s. I claw so my trijumps are fast as fuck but if i was able to connect it atleast 3 hits then i wouldn’t be surprised if theres someone out there who mastered doing it consistently.

I believe it. I tried it for abit, I can do it with storm, so i figured it wouldn’t be that bad. Is it only on a crouching char?? I would think either way it would only be a semi unless you can tri-jump deep enough to stay close and still connect it.

You can do [tri-jump lk, Hk]xN on standing characters as small as Spider-man from what I can tell.

And [sj Lp, Lk, addf lk, lp]xN on standing Cable, Mag, Storm etc.

Program pad fingers required. If you can maintain a good rhythm you can stay deep enough to carry them a good distance. I’ve got up to about 16-18 hits doing tri-jump lk, hk and i’ll typically only miss it because of execution rather than a spacing issue. It’s gotta be claw method too for nexter level Magnus.

yeah I claw just about everything…I don’t understand why people slide…it feels so unnatural. Though I can either slide or claw for tj.hk infinites a la storm

so which would be faster slide or claw?

either really isnt faster than the other, its more about which is more comfortable and consistent for you. i still use both, but majority of the time i claw

well since with claw you can hit the second button nearly at the same time it would obviously be faster, but not to the point where it would matter too much.

i slide… i have big hands. :sad:

yea but i don’t think it would matter at all. most sliders slide their hands pretty damn quick. i believe chris schmidt (crazy fast magneto/storm/hell everything) uses the slide method, or at least thats what i’ve been told. its just a pain moving your hand so damn much and losing finger placement.

i say either isn’t really faster than the other, they’re almost identical in speed and definitely doesn’t make a difference in game play. the two techniques aren’t designed to be faster than the other, just which can be performed with more ease. both techniques result in you pressing say a LK almost the same time as the dash, but its important that you DONT hit it at the EXACT same time as the dash and the slide method helps insure that.

yeah, I was saying in game it doesn’t really matter

but just physically, the buttons with claw are pressed quicker.

I do think claw is superior, but that’s just me

u have more leeway wth the claw

it definitely is for me also, but some people really do feel retarded using the claw method and others can actually do it faster (i think i can slide faster) but thats because for the claw i do more of a wrist movement and the slide for me is more arm/finger movement and i can natujrally move my fingers and arm faster than my wrist. so i’d actually use the slide if i were more consistent at it. hence what sealhunta said, you have more leeway

i have pretty small hands…only fingers involved for my claw method.

i used to think i was good with magneto but obviously im not since i do anything listed in this thread…

i reallly cant air dash

and i dont know what addf means

i need help
