The Old Newbie Thread

you can attack after the airdash with a normal jump. thats how the reset goes. except, the only thing is, if you normal jump, then attack, THEN airdash, you cant block, nor attack.

just repeat wat he does…
“a strat that pisses sumone off can certainly piss off the person who does it repeatedly”

Simple Question

how do you taunt on the DC version of MvC2? Thanks in advance.

LK + start

Wont that pause? I was wondering the same thing. Cool, thanks.

it wont pause as long as you’re holding LK down… first hit lk then do taunt

alright cool, thanks bro.

how is it that you mash your way out of mag tempest??i sometimes get it but other dont…
btw what does juggle mean? :xeye: i think its kinda obvious but ive been wanting to ask for some time now lol

Give a newb some advice on teams

My local mall just got a brand new MvC2 machine and I’ve been playing on it trying to get a little better and be more competitive with some local players. What team(s) should I use as a start?

I’ve been trying out some of the more used characters (Sentinel, CapCom, Storm, Magneto, Cable) but I’m not really sure what team to use.

magnetos’ going to take some time to get the hang of…

work with this team…

cable - anti air
sentinel - ground
commando - anti air

then when you work your way up a bit, go for…

storm - projectile
sentinel - ground
commando - anti air

overall, you’re going to want to find a style that suits you best… me, bleh, i use a lot of teams… if you want to get tricky on people, and they’re wondering wtf, use:
juggernaut - dash
ruby heart - anti air
bb hood - projectile

it’s a rough team to use, but what you do is… glitch juggs (dp + pp), then tag him out for ruby… the THC for this team = 100% life

THC = team hyper… 3 bars + A1 + A2

I still believe in Team Row. :stuck_out_tongue:

Magneto-A/Cable-B/Sentinel-A

Team Scrub is still really good, also. It’s the first team mixah listed.

Agreed.
Team Scrub’s a very easy team to pick up if you’re just starting out in this game. However, as your game progresses, learn a few more characters to round yourself off. If I may suggest, you can give these characters a try once you’ve gotten a hang of this game:

  • Magneto
  • Amingo
  • Mega Man
  • Tron Bonne
  • Doctor Doom
  • Strider Hiryu
  • M.Bison (Trust me…I’ve seen some VERY impressive plays with Bison as of late…let’s just say his teleport combined with Doom’s Molecular Shield Assist REALLY screws people up.)

team row’s good… but it’s advanced… i listed teams for noobs

basic team structure goes like this…

battery (somebody that can build meters quickly) - should be in every team
meter burner (somebody that can use that meter build - could also be the battery, example: storm, sentinel, strider, magneto, cable + assist)
anti air / anti rushdown assist (dr. doom’s aaa, most invincible aaa’s and sentinel drones work here)
trap assist (the two specifics listed above, and blackheart’s aaa work well for this)
protection assist - doom rocks, sent drones, ironman aaa as examples
setup assists - sent drones, psylocke aaa as examples
good DHC setup - eg: storm DHC sentinel, magneto DHC storm

your team should include the first two + almost any combo of the last bunch

all good, except, i don’t know about amingo…

you didn’t list storm as a good character to learn… and magneto should be one of the last few to pick up… he’s really advanced.

Try Sentinel/BH/Capcom and Cable/BH/Capcom. BH is just too easy to play.

As I’ve tried and seen, Magneto’s a little advanced in some departments. I found Storm to be an easy pickup though.

Blackheart is pretty cheap too. I’m going stick with Team Scrub for a bit and maybe even Santhrax too.

Amingo does come in pretty handy at times.
His jumping QK and FK has some pretty decent priority, and can set up some good combos. He’s also pretty easy to learn, once you get the hang of aerial raves.

As for Storm…my bad.
She’s pretty okay in my book.
But you know who’s a pretty fun character to try as well?

Silver Samurai.
It’s just FUNNY to see an assist go horribly, HORRIBLY wrong when they end up getting fried by lightning. :clap:
I took him for a spin the other day (by accident) and ended up frying half of my opponent’s team whenever an assist leapt into the fray. Good times. :clap:

samurai’s funny as hell.

fucking… evil combo = dp + p + call tron, xx lightening storm… 70% life is GONE for free. 1 meter

…I say to hell with the tiers…you’re playing in a mall for cripes sakes…just mess around with characters until you find some that feel right to you…or…in the case of playing games with characters that happen to also be in this game…try the ones you’re familiar with, to see if they’re right for you in the marvel series fighting system…

…don’t worry about tiers right now…just learn how to play first…when you get the hang of the system itself…THEN worry about the tiers…

…personally…I’m not quite fond of who’s in the top tier and god tier…but whatever…

…listen to what these guys have to say…especially m1x4h…and you will get the help you need…

Riot, I already have a hang of the game since I played it back on the DC. It’s just the conversion of playing at a place with actual competition. And personally, the sooner I know which teams to work with, the better I’ll be in the long run.

not necessarily, considering theres’ people who have godly low tiers, but shit top tiers… zaza’s an example… his sentinel is weak as fuck, but his wolverines rush more than a magneto on crack
