How about when you can set up combos easily (top tier tactics) but spaz out and fuck them up every time for little damage?
Your first post
Combos are very important. Maybe not with the Big 4(Top Tier teams) cause its mostly about resets with Psy/Cyclop(which most people copy from each other anyway so there is no real reason for Top Tier team users to use training unless for like practicing fast fly combos cause a lot(top tier users) of people do the same thing) or VERY basic air combo to super to dhc or just random supers(hail storm, HSF). With all that said I now have a good guess why you think training mode is useless but remember not everybody uses Top Tier teams:wink:
Oh and training mode has “manual” so you can play with your friends and be in training mode at the same time ;^) .
Why are you asking for “how training mode is useful” and then saying “no, it’s not” to most every response… ?
I try stuff in training mode that I couldn’t try in an arcade or with a character that’s going to die soon. Since Tron does heavy damage, I can realistically only do one test combo per character per match. Sucks. Training mode lets me play away and try out different set-ups and continuances. Since this isn’t all documented somewhere and I actually use more than the standard twenty characters, there’s lots of interesting wrinkles. I’d rather spend ten minutes in the training room getting a definitive answer than spend ten hours in the arcade and maybe finding out whether some of the setups work. The arcade’s More Fun, but it’s different - I can cross somebody up in the arcade, they can forget to block, the stick doesn’t work, they might block the initial setup, yadda yadda yawn yawn yawn. If I want to Figure Stuff Out, the training room is where to go, and there’s no way in hell that I can get that same experience from playing with people.
Since I keep seeing new hush-hush combos from peeps, I know pretty well that there’s new stuff to be found and enjoyed if you’re interested in that kind of thing. If you just want to play, have at, but don’t hate on a useful tool. 
here’s how it goes down if you wanna learn any of the big four, you HAVE to go trainning mode, even cable needs to spend alittle time in there, AHVB is easy, but why is it easy…( instert dumbass) …“uuuuh because i practice it in trainning mode”…OMFG WE HAVE A WINNER FOLKS…THANK YOU FOR PLAYING MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2.
God your a dumbass.
Can we please stop the hate? 
Everybody’s entitled to being a [huge] dumbass at least once, right?
Right, okay. Maybe the REASON I made this thread is to find out ways of making it MORE useful. I said it’s PRACTICALLY useless. What I ment about the combos being not as important is that learning the infinite isn’t more important than learning how to play the game period. Take Sentinel for example; Learning zoning skills is more important than learning his fast fly. ONce your Sentinel is ready, THEN you can work on more advanced combos. I, along with SOME people in here are trying to come up with descent things to try making it useful. Learning to do combos is what EVERYONE uses trainning mode for. I want people to come up with more things HENCE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF TRAINNING MODE!
Now at least say something productive. All I read is “you can learn combos, master AHVB” that’s obvious, I was TRYING TO INVOLVE MORE THAN THAT! So instead of attacking me, contribute something useful to everyone in the thread.
Anyway, now that that’s out of the way. I use trainning mode in all the ways others do. BUt in terms of building something more than combos, that’s what I’m looking into (maybe I should have stressed it out more when I created the thread). LIke for example, helping you learn how to block by putting in storm, rouge, mag, etc in trainning mode as CPU, or something like that. Maybe you guys have some other ideas for the marvel players out there.
Like I said “manual” its a match that never ends. That is practice right there without having to waste 50 cents.
vs mode is better. BUt at the arcade, there are more people better than you and your friend and various styles and teams to experience. Plus manual beats the purpose. Damage goes back up and time never ends. YOu can do it though, nothing wrong with that, I would just preffer the arcade against more people.
I am just trying to make Training mode look more useful than it is to you. Manual mode can teach you a lot of things the arcade can if you are playing seriously though.
I know what you mean and thanks. BUt IMO I still think fighting a human player in a real match rather than manual better. BUt if you want to do stuff like practrice unblockable with your friend, then it’s alright.
CPU can be better than training, I use training to practice things that require execution, and then since the CPU blocks stupid shit, it’s good for trying diffrent ways to get in and what not.
If you want to do damage, you have to figure out how.
Once you get the chance, you have to take advantage of it.
It works both ways.
BOTH.
Anyway:
#1. If you play uncommon characters, or are looking for team-specific combos (stuff you can do with Sentinel/Cyclops or Cable/Doom, etc). Any time you want to find cool stuff with anyone. Training mode is nice. You never care to find anything new with your characters…?
#2. To practice excecution. Yes, landing a combo in a real match is different, no shit. Of course it is, but practice helps.
#3. Guard breaks, figuring out priority, etc.
BTW training mode CPU guard breaks a bit easy. You’re better off putting something on the 2P joystick/controller so it’s holding away, and then just do low hit-> snap out.
Yeah that’s the best way to do it. Like i’ll practice mags with a friend, and be trying out a rush pattern. Then i can see if they can mash a jab out, or if their in near complete blockstun. That way i can tweak the pattern in training mode rather then trail and error match after match.
Or test out a sent stomp pattern in the corner. If you don’t know how to even do it then you have to do the trial and error thing eating push block all day.
But that’s what i usually do.
And there’s other things to practice like jumping out of sentinal force, or getting out of certain stuff.
I’m sure i could think of ways to use traing mode with out another person but ill post that later(aside from combos,guardbreak,new teams,etc.)
I practice on training mode and play with friends at the arcade and imo that’s the best route to go by if you wanna get better.
i learned the rom in a match… i did it by accident when i was going for the jump infinite, i accidentally superjumped, and attempted the ROM after trying and failing several times in training mode… 3 reps… ran home, toyed with it for an hour, and went til dizzy on megaman, juggernaut, and cable
I dunno…I figured out a lil semi-infinite with Mags. His launcher can be done continuosly as it doesn’t hit them back any. (at least on the DC version)
…
uh,
no.
Ahahaha!
Eh, it’s like anything really.
Take basketball for instance, practicing shooting in your driveway is nice. You’ll get better at shooting, and generally get better at doing that with more practice. This won’t help you in learning to make openings in an actual game, but if you shake a guy up and get that opening, you’re much more likely to make that shot if you practiced, than if that was the first time you ever attepted it.
