Is there any safe way to star the match against magneto… A friend of mine says that jump, and jump forward are safe since they have 1 frame, so you can scape a c.lk, but if he stars with s.lp jump dont work. Almost every time I start with sent in crouch defense calling assist, but when I start with storm, sometimes a magneto kick my ass… What can I do against him, is switch trick with c.lp safe?
Help, please… take a snapback every time you start a match is not good…
Im more than certain you can find detailed discussions about this in already existing threads, try searching for switch-trick magneto.
To give a (brief) explanation, these are your options as I understand them.
Jump up or forward with or without a normal - Like your friend said, jumping back has one frame of standing block in there so its no good to try and jump away. With starting sent you could try n.jump jab and short with an anti-air into a Rocket punch for an opener, although its usually safer not to. Like previously stated, normal jumping is ok when you are trying to avoid switch trick c.lk from magneto, but its also good for meeting mags in the air if he tries any extra tricky shit on match start.
Block Low - Generally a sound option, as most magneto’s know that switch tricking + c.lk beats most shit clean. THINGS YOU WANT TO WATCH FOR WHEN DOING THIS - A normal jump from magnus can lead to n.jump RH real fast, which is your ass if you are crouch blocking, a normal jump from magnus also leads to air dash psy in openings alot, so dont just stand up and block if you see his feet leave the ground, be prepared for a cross-up as well.
Switch Trick dash back - The easiest way I can put it is make sure you switch to sentinel right before the match when you have the option of changing your order pre-match start. This activates the switch-glitch on your sent (what mags is using against you) start the match by holding back + PP. On the first frame of match start your sent will be in back dash, effectivly avoiding c.lk openers as well as crazy bullshit crossup openers. My personal favorite option in this situation, if you actually care to know.
There is alot more to it than that, this is just the basic shit. Search the forums, for the love of god man, there is a wealth of knowledge, and prolly 30 page long threads on this subject in general. check it out sometime :rolleyes:
jump up dies to glitched LP iirc, as he already noted
switch trick dash back is punishable, I can even punish that with megaman against sent
glitched sent LK into snapback is always hilarious, but only works against certain magnus openers
glitched storm lightning attack is hilarious - you pop back. very punishable though
block low is the only winning option.
like he said, this subject has been beaten to death already :sad:
Thanks for everybory wich try to help… and sorry if there’s more threads about this theme… I promisse I’ll search more before open a new thread…
