The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

Gunna stream some online if u guys wanna watch. :slight_smile:

I don’t know how you do half the shit you do online to be honest. It’s actually amazing.

Also one tip I’ll give to ya’ll on something I’ve been trying to incorporate into my game recently:
You guys do ground dashes, jump cancel them and then airdash yes? That’s the most optimal way to move with most tridash characters(You Doom players know this already since Doom’s movement is ass). What you can do with this is incorporate it into your boxdash Magnetic Blasts, this makes them an even more amazing spacing tool, and creates a large amount space that makes certain matchups much easier with less threat from Berserker Slash or H Charging star.

So ground dash backwards, jump up back, boxdash backwards L Magnetic Blast. It’s godlike and creates a large amount of space in those MU’s extremely quickly and will make them a lot easier. Doing it in reverse for the forward motion is also near full screen and is a great follow up with a horizontal assist behind you like Drones/Arrows. I accidentally do adub by accident sometimes, but with practice it should come naturally.

@leaf - it’s no news that box dash mag blasts are great for spacing, but they have a multitude of other uses as well. The only problem with over-abusing dash back, jump up back, dash back mag blast, is that you’ll push yourself into a corner pretty quickly.

I’m thinking of making a small guide on some stuff for Magneto soon after uploading some thor info. The video is going to be about 10-15 minutes long so if you guys would like for me to cover anything specific, then don’t hesitate to let me know in a pm or post or something.

Yeah that’s an issue, but if it gives you space to call assists then so be it. The main issue in those matchups(ie Cap) is that they can easily stuff your approach with Magneto + easily bop your assist, this gives you space to call assists for pressure from fullscreen without fear of getting happy birthdayed by Wolverine.

Besides, we all know Magneto is Houdini in the corner, and with assists(ie Jam session) it’s impossible to pin him down there and he can easily get out safely.

Maybe it’s just the online, but I find good Caps pretty tough lol.

been practicing ifinites today.
my max was 69hits. doing a bit over 800k damage with the setup. feelsgoodman.jpg

Question, do all stick Magneto players a button to a L+M+H macro on 8 button sticks? I’ve heard FChamp does and a few other local magneto players also use it. I was under the assumption that everyone was just using the normal 6 buttons all this time and when I picked him up it took me a while to learn how to do his air dash H combos as I found em pretty hard. Then I find out people had been using a macro all this time to do em.

L+M+H is a shitty macro since all the buttons will get input delay and thus none of the buttons will come out fast.

M+H and L+M help alot though.

I can’t imagine a good mag player having a button mapped to L + M + H. I have one mapped to M+H for plinking L blasts.

I’m probably gonna be on PSN all day at a friends house with a decent connection, lets play.

no macros for me.

macros are weak

I play pad.

I don’t want my hands to look like that guy from Scary Movie 2.

Macros on pad are respectable.

macros on stick…:rofl:

why the fuck would someone purchase a stick if they’re going to use macros? shit was design for pad players.

fanatiq doesnt even use macros

Ever heard of the infamous ā€œ1-button-dashā€?

Fuck you think that is?

he doesnt use it in marvel 3 though

Yeah he does, he uses M+H and L+M on his right shoulder buttons IIRC.
