Drop Mags for Captain? Why not just play both? Mags gets insane trijump mixups with shield slash assist.
I play Captain/Sent/Mags (hypergrav). I personally think the team’s well built but it does have its weaknesses like if the opponent starts off with a bad matchup for Captain. You can get around this though by starting Mags. Captain benefits from either EMD or hypergrav depending on what you want to do with the team. It’s definitely really fun to play as well. Oh and shield slash also gives you a situational combo off of EMD. If you’re about 1/2 screen from the opponent, you can call shield slash, do EMD, and then the shield will return letting you confirm into a full combo.
Your play was quite solid. I’ve just got a few comments
[LIST]
[]You’re still using basic Cap combos. You can do much more effective, ‘advanced’ (by Cap’s standards lol) combos, which do more damage and net more meter, which all adds up.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[]Your play’s too linear. You seemed to go head on the offensive, which may not be the best approach against same characters. Try and mix it up to not be too predictable.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[*]I like how you use Hyper Stars and Stripes start-up invincibility to beat Strange out of his air Spells of Viscant. Quite ingenious, I may use that lol.
[/LIST]
Lastly, try to control your assist calls. You seemed to always call it during high time in your Vergil combos when they didn’t connect. You could preserve your assists for the following reset opportunity etc. Though I’m glad you use beam over missiles, I’ve been telling people to do that for the longest! Lol
Some extra stuff on Cap/Mags:
[details=Spoiler]I was also using Cap (charging star)/Magneto(Disruptor)/Doom(Plasma Beam). I’ve dropped Magneto for Dante now as I don’t feel Magneto’s as fun as he was in Vanilla due to his nerfs, and he and Doom are similar and I try to have diversity in the 3 characters I use to negate match-up issues.
On another side note, you get cartwheel mix-ups with disruptor, and you can also convert off throws with it.[/details]
@YawDan what exactly would you mean by using more of his advanced combos? i’ve been somewhat out of the loop concerning cap ><
Generally, mixing air shield slashes into your bnbs adds damage and gains meter.
IFBpwnstar made a thread which has a collection of combos and then there’s the combo thread:
http://forums.shoryuken.com/t/thats-why-im-a-super-soldier-combos-resets/137324page-7
If you could, try and land this combo that IFBPwnstar listed. It’s Cap’s most damaging solo and you’ll be doing nearly 800 000 damage minimum:
c.:l:
s.:h::s:, sjc.:u:+:h:, :qcf:+:l:, land, jf.:u:+:h:, :qcf:+:m: or :qcf:+:l: (let them fall slightly before the :u:+:h:), land, dash, :qcb:+:l:, :s:, sjc.[:h:,:d:+:h::s:] or [:h::u:+:h::s:], land, [:qcf::u:+:l:, land, dash, :qcb:+:l:] or [:qcf:+:l:], :qcb:+:h:, :qcb:+:atk::atk:
You were using Magneto so Cap’s combos won’t be a thing for you lol.
Double Hyper Charging Star using Drones
[media=youtube]fy1nDNoZkZ4[/media]
THIS IS AWESOME! (Clap Clap, Clap-Clap-Clap) LOL
on the real though I was trying to figure out how to do this. Still, is it worth using Sentinel? lol.
Another thing- the Cap BNB you did, how much damage does it net without drones?
Not sure if this thread is specifically for combos or matches. But I made some quick tips for Captain America.
[media=youtube]9Pqa1Cl-lGc[/media]
Cap and Sentinel work really well together. Drones makes CS star and makes his SS game more annoying and easier to convert off of, and DHCing into Plasma Storm does a ton of damage after a Cap BnB. So yeah it’s worth it.
Lol I was semi-playing. My reservations were more with Sentinel as a character. People have made him work though; I’d just rather use someone else lol.
This was good, I appreciate you contributing to the character, I need to stop getting lazy and put some tech out here! lol. But yeah there was some really good stuff here like the crossover counter stuff you experimented with. I’ ve just got a few comments:
[LIST]
[*]I never actually knew about the invincibility properties of the stars and stripes. I guess I used it on reaction, but I never knew the hard stars and stripes was fully invincible, the medium traded and the light would get beaten soon after it’s start up frames.
[]a charging star is punishable by throws. The only time hyper stars and stripes would successfully counter it is if the opponent tried to do another type of attacking, such as press a normal. You would near to ensure the opponent is in as much blockstun as possible to safely dhc into either of his hypers, which isn’t always guaranteed. Though using an assist would help make him safer and cancelling the charging star as soon as possible into his hypers should keep the opponent in blockstun
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[]It was smart waiting for both hits of the otg Shield slash to hit before connecting the level 3. I never thought you would pull off comboing into the Final Justice before you thought to do that lol.
[/LIST]
[LIST]
[*]Ghost Rider can combo off Cap’s charging star assists. If you call that assist during Ghost Rider’s heartless spire as it OTGs, Ghost rider will be able to connect his :H: - :H: off the push back of the charging star.
[/LIST]
This was really helpful nonetheless. I’ll be sure to subscribe to your youtube account and check out your other videos 
Hello fellow capitans. New to UMVC3 coming from SF4. My corner combo needed lots of work so I found this out. Probably old news but I saw nothing like it on youtube.
Pretty simple but big damage.

<br><br>Check out the combo thread, there’s an extensive listing on various corner combos. With that team I think I would omit Ironman’s assist unless you accidentally landed in the corner after j.:s: in the first launch combo and needed the assist to pick up. I say this mainly because that assist scales damage harshly and I think doing Cap’s solo variations would be more damage. Also we can get more damage after missiles.

Some cool things in there. Your movement looks REALLY solid, especially with Doom.

The wake up wave dash was really interesting, I had no idea that would cross up, but I do argue I would’ve rather comboe’d the air throws with OTG + beam assist (I assume this grants a relaunch). You also rely on j.SS a LOT, which is usually good but some of them weren’t great choices. A lot of them also resulted in missed confirms. You also were using sup-optimal corner combos that are actually harder to do. Update those, no one needs to do the delayed normals anymore unless they mess up. <br><br>The fight against Haggar was an issue and you were doing a lot of things begging to be eatin by lariat (and you did). Generally with haggar I bust doom out ASAP, cap simply can’t keep him out for long and you lose too many tools in the fight. You can’t roll (EVER, unless your bait out and hyper SRK), j.:d:+:h: is risky, CS has limited use, and you can do frame traps. SS, punishing, and taking him in the air is your only real option. Doom can lame him out all day (and dear god i wish i could air dash like you for that match up).<br>

The wakeup wavedash thing was actually found by accident when I was trolling some friends ages ago as I was showing off my movement but only works because I think there is a point in time while the opponent is recovering, they have no “hurtbox” so a well timed dash can cross up or in my case, a well mashed dashed. I usually go for that over guaranteed damage because you can get a more damaging combo off the oki rather than a throw combo. Sometimes when you air throw, if you aren’t low enough (or used the super jump to do the air throw) comboing after is a lot harder so it might be worth going for the oki. Doing j.SS is a bit of a bad habit of mine as I don’t like opponents being above me. Corner combo is one I do think I could work on but the only reason I like the one I’m currently doing is cause it is continuous forward momentum (as other ones require a jump back which may be hard to judge if not quite in the corner).

I think I was a little tired that day and forgot to put in certain inputs (e.g. killing Phoenix) although I really did want to get the TAC infinite as many times as possible in the tournament. The dashing through just has to be after a knockdown (pretty sure it works for soft knockdown as well if you can get the right setup).</div><div style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Verdana; line-height: normal;”><span style=“font-family: ‘lucida grande’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em;”><br></span></div><div style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Verdana; line-height: normal;”><span style=“font-family: ‘lucida grande’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.7em;”>About the players… it was actually a 6 man tournament (very disappointingly) and I knew two of them (who were both in the recorded footage).

I do the neutral jump corner combo, it helps with judging the distance. End you groudn series with s.:h: always before launch, neutral sjc.:u:+:h:, :qcf:+:l:, from there you can always convert into something. This work pretty much anywhere.<br>
