The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

Thanks man, he’s using C.America + drones, so it “is” kinda like that. But I think I get too impatient and try to aa him from the ground and it is just not possible, and also when he throws air Shield slash I tend to get hit by it haha. So I should stay mobile and run to the other side of the screen, I’ll try that.

Here’s decent quality footage of me and some friends. let me know if you guys need time highlights let me know

EDIT:

found the footage of my magneto play. please let me know how you think i did and what i could have done to improve etc. any advice is greatly appreciated

Can you do it on all characters or is it taller characters only

You can instant overhead the heavies without a fuzzy guard(Sent/Hulk etc). Some characters you need fuzzy guard, but for half of the cast you can’t really do instant overheads on. The list is here:

lol so guys - heres another reason why mags/wesker is gross.
2 button tech. shockwave + phantom dance can’t be blocked on reaction. you have to block before hte superflash.

Yeah I saw that earlier… still doesn’t justify having to have wesker on your team :3

I used to spam that THC in Vanilla, I had no idea it was 0 frame. Pretty cool stuff. Although I wouldn’t play Wesker outside point when I can run Disruptor which makes Wesker godlike.

Wait, disruptor plus teleports are godlike? NOWAI!!!

Well,

Disruptor + Teleport is stupid, but Samurai Edge plus disruptor+ teleport is even dumber. Wesker is still a fantastic character when backed up by Vajra or Disruptor and works very well on point. Magneto/Wesker is pretty ass in ultimate with the removal of the DHC glitch though.

Idk I really like mags/wesker, unblockable resets that you can’t jump out of are too salt inducing for me to give up.
Also in my warped personal tierlist, I think Weskey is still top tier lol.

Meh. I like my team better. Rather than risk trying to force a reset, I’d rather just kill :3

Edit: Wesker is only as good as your opponent is bad :stuck_out_tongue:

This is completely false. Wesker is a very strong character on point, he isn’t as strong as Vergil(imo noone is when Vergil has meter to stop you from playing). But he’s a very strong character and is much less meter dependent than Vergil. He has a top 3 footsie game and fantastic normals and he’s immune to grounded XFactor Guard Cancels, top 5 mixups period, his left/rights are fantastic, and he has the best low/command grab game out of all the characters, the shit ain’t reactable and is a pure guess everytime if the Wesker is mixing it up and doing mixups cleanly. His vajra based resets are extremely dirty and cover a lot of his bad matchups.

Samurai Edge is completely stupid and extremely oppressive with assists. Samurai Edge with the proper assists gives him a full screen beam poke that he can convert off into a ToD combo, or a free mixup if blocked. Jumping Samurai Edge is a very good zoning tool and with the right assists it also always leads to a mixup(ie Cold Star or Weasel Shot ). His keepaway and runaway game is pretty legit vs a lot of characters too.

If you think Wesker is a bad character you are playing bad players. He’s top 10ish point to me and isn’t that far from Magneto on point. Wesker anchor is a bad idea though, Wesker 2nd is pretty mediocre overall due to a crappy neutral assist, a very bad DHC, and no TAC capabilities whatsoever. I guess the 0f THC is pretty cool though.

Wesker is only good on point IMO but he’s definitely top 10/probably more like top 7 on point. He’s probably one of the most underrated characters right now since everyone’s on the “Wesker is bad” train since anchor Wesker stopped working. He just loses badly to Morrigan/Doom and Zero.

XF3 Wesker is still a nightmare, but anchor is a bad spot for him.

2nd spot wesker is viable if you use his assist to TAC into your third character

Woah woah, slow down. I thought the excessive sarcasm was made obvious by the “:P”

Though partially a joke, I’d agree on wesker in top ten. I don’t like running him because his dhcs are ass, and while samurai edge is in my opinion undoubtedly the best low/otg assist, having it means one less assist to play neutral with in a community is that is growing more heavy on zoning. Resets and unblockables are great - if you can touch me. Ya dig?

I don’t think wesker has ever been underrated. I usually refer to him as a teleporting zangief with a pistol.

Also I don’t play Vergil on point. Point Vergil is ass >>> :stuck_out_tongue: <<<<

So guys I’m actually going to instead of streaming this weekend record some FT5-10s since that would be better for looking at than some long ass snore fest lol Going to try actually using Magneto

my favorite thing is when people complain about my tri jump Ls crossing up but, it only crosses up when you crouch

Even then, I don’t think it’s on all characters. Using doom, crossup j. Ls are free, with mags they don’t seem a quarter as consistent.

I love hitting people with crossup tri jL into crL. Noone blocks that and I feel bad for hitting them with it :).

I’m starting to believe that Magneto is x10 harder to block midscreen because of this, if you setup a crouching fuzzy guard with an assist your tridash jL’s become 4 way mixups and it’s near impossible to block on reaction.
