Why do a lot of Mag players throw out j.H before doing Magnetic Blast? Also is there a reason for using any other Magnetic Blast besides the L version?
a lot of the time it’s an OS because you can do jump forward f+H to tech throws or throw then cancel to mag blast on whiff if nothing happens.
it can stop you from getting hit out of mag blast start up and j.h xx blast combos if they simply get hit by the H trying to come at you and you can land then continue the combo. if they happen to block it you get a block string
other times it’s probably just habit
Just practice your movement. Mags options aren’t too overwhelming/derpy until their coupled with his gross ass mobility.
Once you begin to move around the screen effortlessly you’ll quickly level up on your Maggy play.
got some sad news mags; i wont have internet for a good while now until my folks get new internet. i already gave them a few suggestions but we’ll just have to see about that in the long run. another thing i’m still jobless (fuck this earth) but on the bright side other than a couple possible job interviews, i’ve found some sick mag/drones/missiles midscreen and corner resets so i’ll fixin to get those up soon!
Stay hungry
Good luck with life Bloo
good luck with the job hunt buddy
thanks a bunch guys. i’m still going to do my best to find some magnus tech with some competitive theory teams i have in mind. two of them being mag/vergil/sent and viper/mag/doom.
let me know what you guys think of them. i’ll have some videos up of them showin some stuff soon
Any of you Magneto heads going to SCR?
Guys I think I’m gonna have to drop Magneto for real. He’s just too reactable and has bad solo mixups.
Fuck the tier thread.
I think you missed the post where RayRay was salty and said Magneto is ass and you can do OS’s to block all his mixups on reaction.
My character is ass syndrome Kappa.
Magneto’s mixups aren’t as good as some other characters imo(Firebrand/Wesker/Racoon etc). But he’s very good at forcing mixups on you and his mixups are pretty much guesses/50/50s especially if you aren’t clean on those tridashes. His mixups are not reactable(you aren’t reacting a empty jL into a 6f low), but are avoidable without assists.
His solo mixups are effective but not as oppressive really. He’s limited to crL stagger and tick throws along with tri jLs and empty tridashes(generally antiairable), along with stL or air throw. He is vulnerable to pushblock too without assists too. His incoming mixups are great though.
But in general I don’t think there are many characters with great solo mixups with the exception of self crossup moves(Rapid Slash, Berserker Slash), or characters that can cover their teleports very well(Strider).
The tier thread is all hyperboles and contradictions put on repeat by, for the most part, people who don’t understand characters outside of the ones they play. I wouldn’t take most of the shit on that thread seriously.
Hi everyone, I seem to be having trouble replicating something I’ve seen FChamp do a few times. After ending a combo with air S into a hard knockdown, he’ll shoot a magnetic blast while Magneto is off screen and come down on the opponent.
Anyone know exactly how to do this?
The key is to get a flyscreen. to do that you can’t do an air series into the air S.
A set up I use is:
full combo > relaunch > sj S >** aridash back > L magblast** > land > mixup
the bolded parts happen offscreen.
I’ve been playing mag team for shits and giggles doin my own bnbs for a while, but i kind of want to know his current bnbs and i didn’t see a section with them on the home page! any help? i love mags but i have the shittiest punishments when i play him lol…
I want to drop sentinel and pick some stupid shit up when I get my PS3 back. Im talking next level stupid, but still with point magnus. Who would be good for a second and third among Zero/Vergil/Dante/Doom ?
magneto/dante/doom
magneto/zero/doom
magneto/doom/vergil (or doom anchor. whichever you prefer. it’s a cheap shell either way)
