Spiral Q & A - Ducvader's Thread

umm. ok, from a guy who joined December 2006? just to talk trash? uhh i havent competed in EVO but i’ve competed in SoCal tournaments before so i guess i got you there. and i really, and hardly doubt you’ll OCV, maybe if my stick is broken, or if i pass out while playing maybe, but i really doubt that. I would put down 1 grand, but I am in school and I use most of my money in gas money to commute,but i would put down anything less thatn $500. and i’ve never even heard of you bro…maybe thats cuz your a nobody… im done

spiral /sent/commando is really good. Gives sent alot of chipping power and damge with commando for fast flies instead of cable. I think it does better IMO against MSP than spiral/cable/sent.

Try hunt down the PSM finals vids of Duc vs Potter if you want to see spiral with commando.(I don’t think duc used spiral /cable at all)
Go to youtube and type in “Duc AND MvC2”

Duc - could you please give some input on fighting against team clockw0rk?

are those vids available at youtube?

duc, do you hav a good spiral/commando strats? tnx

craazyalfaw, icon032, BOTH of you need to pipe down. This thread is rapidly degenerating into a shitpile because you two are beginning to perpetuate a flamewar. Please take this shit somewhere else.

This garbage all started when craazyalfaw forgot that this thread is a Question and answer thread meaning, any question is legitimate whether it sounds like a beginner aka newbie question or not. This got Icon032 mad.

Craazyalfaw, Duc is a 2 time national champion and a 3 time national finalist. He doesn’t need to be helping us you know. I mean, Justin Wong isn’t helping us out now, is he? Instead of degrading the thread he made, you should show some respect to him and the others here by keeping potentially insulting and condescending comments in your head, not on this thread [or any other thread here for that matter]…

As for Icon 0032, I agree with you on one thing. I don’t think he’s as good as he thinks he is. The fact that he just joined the forums combined with his rude and arrogant nature, it’s evident that he sucks. I could be wrong quite easily though. He could have had his account deleted recently, rejoined, and didn’t take the hint. If that’s the case, it means he could be a long time player that actually has talent, but perhaps I’m over thinking this and giving him too much credit. I mean, I changed my name from Terazon to Deathfist. Actually, my primary internet name is completely different from the both of them.

The best evidence possible of whether craazyalfaw sucks or not is a tournament you both attend, or a match play scenario. Best of 7, whatever money you want to bet, or even no money; it matters not. Since both are impossible over the net and on these forums, you need to cool it too.

Take this shit to a matchmaking forum or something.


I’ll ask a legitimate question or 2 now. [although if I think hard enough I’ll probably resolve it myself, I’ll do it anyways so that anyone else that may be afraid to ask the question I’m asking now won’t have to…] Treat it like a beginner Spiral is asking for advice, and please be as detailed as possible…

What are the best methods of taking down Storm and or Sentinel with Spiral?

Just search “ducvader” on youtube and you should be able to find vids of some duc matches against potter. Duc’s playing Spiral/Sent/Commando so that should help you out.

which is the better trap team, spiral or s\d?

if its spiral, for what reasons.

eh i dont really got beef with the guy, just hate the fact that hes randomly calling people noobs,and he just joined. but were settling it in pms so whenever hes down at socal. ill get it on tape, im done. duc keep doin your thing. sorry for degrading the thread.

No harm done dude - It’s going to happen sooner or later. That’s how some folks are and we just gotta expect that shit.

As for fighting sentinel and storm - the best way to fight them both is to be hella patient with spiral and not calling out your assist at all cost unless you can protect them or they are at full power. The spiral trap still works - just learn the basics of the trap then go into the advance strats where you choose to throw 1 or 2 knives in order to decide what you will do according to their reaction. For storm she has a lot of air arsenal - when shes running from you and building meter you do the same by sj into the air and mashing the qcb +hk in the air. You will build meter much faster than storm. If she rushes you down - then the only thing you should do is block - learn to block and you’ll be ok. I guess you should watch vids of matches to see what I’m talking about. I’m not very good at explaining what I do because I do things on instinct instead of thinking like others do. Hope this helps -

Duc

duc,

can you xplain spiral teleports? the one with the “tele + holding down + button” thing…

You should ask Preppy to host some vids - like he’s done with zaza, clockw0rk etc…

uhmm… you can try going to gamefaqs. but basically the “hold button” is pretty much the same as strider’s teleport. (think of the arrangement of the buttons as the placement in the screen). lp = top left, hp=top right, lk=bottom left, hk=bottom right.

hey rYo_sazaKi where do you play at Philliphines? I went there for vacation last summer, and all the arcades I went to that had MvC2 barely had any comp. Im heading there around spring break, so let me know wheres the MvC2 hotspots are in there.

Oh and to Duc. I got a question, if you mastered the spiral lock, and people would only get out of it the player playin spiral messes up, whats the downsides on just doing the lock the whole day? bcuz i watch your vids and you’d do like 2-3 reps of it and start throwing swords w/o the sent drones instead of lockin the character forever.

how do i play against spiral with spiral. this guy at my arcade uses spiral/storm/sent or spiral/storm/doom. we just trow knives backand forth but then he dhcs into hail storm.

You never sent me a PM back. You just scared to lose your money after talking so much shit. Put your money where your mouth is noob.

I can’t believe the noobs who post the silliest questions in here. Duc started this thread to get more good spirals players. People who don’t even know how teleporting works? come on! It’s like with sent, how do I fly? How can you get hit with a storm dhc? Spiral’s super is so slow on start up… Should you people really be playing spiral? There is a reason why there is only one real spiral and one real strider player out there. You have to know a lot of knowledge about marvel. Duc is always thinking ahead and playing smart. He doesn’t go for the trap as much because it’s too risky. He zones players instead and chips aways and punishes any mistakes. Truthfully, Duc knows this thread will never produce any top spiral players because the only people that are capable of learning spiral are either elite players or old school players with a good knowledge of the game who are going to put in countless hours learning every matchup and situation with spiral.

^ seriously man? you think im scared? when i pm’d you back -.- i dont even know why your taking it so anal, bcuz I know i’ll take your money. I’m telling you dude come down to SoCal and let me know. Stop talking like your so good, I dont even know who you are and like you criticize people like your words means something, bro you joined this month, noone knows you, so talking like your someone with power doesnt make you look cool. i seriously like stopped talking about you, and just let Duc do his thing, but you come back at me using Duc’s thread instead of pm’ing me. Seriously bro, grow up or shut the fuck up, your free.

P.S. if you ever come down to SoCal, I hope your in the 626 area bcuz Im a local in most of 626 arcades here.

Woah! i had 10 victories with my new team yesterday… this thread is REALLY helpful…

how would you beat storm/ironman/magneto team with spiralsentcommando?

Can I get some strats against Mag, it hurtz?
plz&thnku

its funny how a guy can evaluate someones gameplay on a post.:lol: why dont you post some stuff to help show how good you are rather than actin good by callin others noobs.
