how do u do the combo that ends at 1:47? the one with multiple air H shield slashes?
you just jump up and throw them - timing is fairly strict but it aint TOO tough.
I was surprised to see, but you use the exact same combo I do. Can we name it the Washington Combo now?
Those were good matches though. Dayum, you even got a perfect with Cap in Winner’s!
why would it be called the washington combo?
just curious, not upset :looney:
I guess it was the first American associated word that popped into his head as he was commentating… No real reasoning or back story to it. The commentator barely plays MvC3, he’s just a big fan of Cap and most of Marvel…
I once called a Guile AA fierce punch in SF4 the “Statue of Liberty uppercut” while commentating and now its stuck here in Ireland. Spur of the moment names are the best anyway.
edit Just noticed what combo he actually called the “Washington Combo” It was just pushblock a string then punish with charging star xx Hyper charging star. Somehow I don’t think its gonna stick. lol
We can make it stick.
Although Washington Combo doesn’t have that awesome ring to it as a Liberty Uppercut would lol…
Hmmm… I’ma keep calling the actual combo the Washington Combo anyway. It made me laugh 
Pool play from last a tournament last Saturday here… sorry bout the quality.

This thread needs more…
Jint/Noel Brown
Valle
Cheeseburger(the dude got top 16 in Summer Jam 5 I think)
For a character that is considered pretty bad, he is actually well represented
i lol’d pretty hard at the fact that Noel is a sponsored professional player, and he cant even do my bnb 
I still think that is Jint’s team those…
I was one win away from top 8 :(, I didn’t wanna show that match because I was so nervous. You can tell because when I went for a snap back in that 2nd match I super jumped instead lol.
My bad I thought you linked my match from SummerJam lol
we have weekly tournaments on Guam. Usually i rock doom/spencer/haggar or hulk/doom/spencer, but i’m trying to drop haggar and I dont like wesker etc. Been in the lab with cap for a while, this the first time I tried him in tournament play, needless to say i failed. Here is my only game in the top 8 this past weekend
[media=youtube]fM5QgJZLVX4[/media]
The entire stream is recorded at twitch.tv/kensanity but quality is really bad. i’d like critiques on how to deal with rush down anda better way to actually start offense with cap.
the only reason i use spencer, is because the slant assist + cartwheel on incoming characters seems to trick a lot of people. If someone had some good assist tech with super skrull/hulk/amaterasu/dormammu/ryu or anyone but wesker/haggar. i would think about changing characters. i could use some advice. all i know is doom is my anchor/2nd cuz he’s my best character personally and i like him, and cap is point because well, where else u put him? any advice as a character to fill in the remaining slot is cool.
needs more cartwheel mixups from a grab, from a blockstring, from any knockdown, from any air.shield slash.
you are relying to heavily on the plasma beam assists to get in, but even then you are just jumping to cover the distance(needs more h.CS + assist).
- if they don’t have haggar or tron, there’s really nothing stopping you from getting in their face.
what was that jump in using light? ಠ_ಠ IMO air d.H is caps best jump in.
ok, well from what I’ve seen. I think you need to drop spencer. . . .because his only real purpose is for his assist and if a character is only on your team as an assist, then your most likely going to lose. Especially because your team isn’t particularly high tier your going to have to know your 3 characters very well. Find a character that you genuinely like playing, a character that you can go into training mode with and actually have fun while you learn his combos. When you find that character then you will really start to see yourself do well. Some good assist with cap are sentinel’s drones, iron man’s beam, tron, haggar, etc. But I recommend you look into an otg assist because i feel that would help you a lot, preferably deadpool, or wesker. I hope this helps a bit. . . . . .oh and btw I run cap in the second slot and it works wonders. . … even sometimes on anchor when I’m just fooling around lol
I don’t know why I tossed out the jumping light. I think I was trying to bait out super, and then I already had pressed it when dark hole came out… could’ve easily killed him. yeah i’m gonna start using d H way more. was watching gimpy’s old footage and it seems almost like i can jump in for free with that. however, how do I keep those cartwheels and h charging stars safe? If I throw an air slash and then cartwheel or a ground blockstring my opponent can just hit me out of it… it has no invincibility I don’t see why I should use this. Also. In training mode I could never get beam+ h charging star to be safe. It was always punishable. Granted m cs + beam is safe but do u suggest just spamming that to get in and then use some cartwheeled mixups?
To be fair. I usually play much better with Spencer and doom than this. I guess this was a rough week. That said I just don’t like using Spencer and that’s why I’m open to suggestions. I had haggar but he is not good at anchor. I see how using his assist with some cartwheel shenanigans could be useful tho. Maybe ill try some cap/doom/haggar. Thanks fir the advice
EDIT: I’m gonna try cap/hulk/doom. I like the DHC abilities of hulk and the otg assist does wonders for me in the corner. I tried a little cap doom haggar but it suffers from the same problems that all my haggar combinations suffer from…
When you throw the air shield slash you can call the assist before the shield comes back to you. What you’re likely going to be doing in order to get those cartwheel mixups is doing a TK shield slash which is MUCH faster recovery time, and should be thrown from around 3/4 to 1/2 screen distance depending on opponent.
Once you’ve done that you can call your assist, and go for the cartwheel…if you make it, then go for the combo, if you get hit, the assist will likely save you (unless you’re thrown). Cartwheel mixups are very important if you want to get good with Cap.
I haven’t done much testing with Doom so I can’t say whether or not the beam + H.charging star option is save for them. Now on my team using IronMan I have no problem making it safe though I usually use the M version which will allow me to combo afterward since it recovers faster.
You SHOULD however be looking for moves that you can punish from 3/4 screen distance or so in order to punish them with H.charging star. That is an invaluable tool for Cap, and it’s so fast it’s very hard to react to with a counter…and you can then do Hyper Charging Star doing ~420k for little effort.
On the Spencer note, I run him on my main team (Cap/Spencer/IronMan), and he fits in pretty well so far. I use the up grapple assist to extend Cap’s combos (also very helpful in the corner), help on incoming characters, and they have an excellent DHC ability.
My basic B&B combo with them does over 900k for 2 meters…and it builds roughly 90% of that by itself. Also I find Spencer to be very fun, capable, very damaging, and he’s got a freakin bionic arm!
If I really need someone dead, and I have 3-4 meters I can kill anyone fairly easily just continuing the end of my B&B.
Kei
Btw, I also don’t think you should rely heavily on any of Cap’s air normals besides S or the appropriate H move.
Hey guys I just found this HALARIOUS video of myself playing MvC3 for the first time in my life. . . . .lol Its actually painful to watch how bad i suck lol. I was thinking of uploading it for the lolz idk. Since this is my first versus game L M H was soo foreign to me lol. So should I upload it?
we have too many ken’s in these cap forums…then there’s the kei’s also…
yeah well just refer to me as crap ken since i’m the one with the shitty cap ><
as much as i suck with him, he could be one of my favorite characters up to this point in the game.
