@SmokeMaxX lol life gets in the way, I was making a compilation video but some other stuff took my attention away from the game for a few months. Still, seems like you did alright in the tourny considering, and at least you’re actually competing. I stopped playing Marvel when they shut down the venue we had locals. Though they’ve started up somewhere else which I migght go to. But it’s in the other end of London. And an hour on public transport is long. Although I’ve had American friends say 300 miles is a 'short ( ) journey so I can’t really complain
I’m gonna split the rest of this up into spoilers as it’s quite long.

I use Cap on point in the shell, but I wanted to know if you did differently. I guess Magneto has the infinite and I discovered the OTG shield-slash=>hyper S & S cross-under anyway. Though I’ve found that as Magneto is the better character, there are more match-ups I’ve managed with him on point. And as he corner carries and builds a bar, you could kill off the DHC. But really, I use Cap on point unless i’m doing something like playing point Strider, *hashtag Chou’s influence.
But anyway, I’ve had arguments about whether Cap and Magneto are good together, and although I appreciate all insight into the pair as it helps me show how they’ll work together, it’s good to hear from someone else who actually uses the pair too.
I’ve mained Cap/Magneto/Doom since Vanilla and competed in tournaments in Ultimate with some variant of that team.

I used Magneto (Disruptor)/Captain America (CS)/Doom (Missiles) but switched to Captain America (CS)/Magneto (Disruptor)/Doom (Plasma Beam). Though I dislike to use two similar characters on the same team (the tri-dashers), as, to simplify it to add clarity to my point, I feel that they will have the same weakness or bad match ups *Deadpool, Vajra assist. I’d like to have versatility in my team to adapt to more matches. My ‘serious’ Captain America team is Captain America (CS)/Doctor Doom (Plasma Beam)/Strider (Vajra). But I’d rather use characters and tech that I like, so I’ll often team Cap, Dante, Magneto, Frank West and Doctor Doom together in some form.
Cap/Haggar/Magneto sounds fun lol. I used to use Cap/Strange/Magneto, but then I fought a MorriDoom. Really though, another problem is that a lot of characters like Vergil, Wesker, Morrigan, Wolverine can just duck underneath the Bolts (like they can Thor’s beam), so I’ve often found it useless at neutral.
But yo… I was messing around with your :h: Magnetic Shockwave=> whiffed Hyper Charging Star tech. I went into that off of both ROM, and the Hypergrav loops, and how I get it to work is that, if you leave them high enough for the dhc, they bounce off of the Hyper Charging Star into the hard knockdown, off which I was able to OTG shield slash after. The techs really impractical because of the waste of meter, but you can still have fun with it e.g. relaunch with another assist and attempt TAC into Magneto’s infinites. I’m going to record it and add it to my clips from which I will compile a video.
