The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

Gonna stop playing umvc3 now that F Champ got knocked out before top 8 :frowning:

No he didn’t lol.
He tied with ChrisG for 5th I think.

But I’m actually quitting because Mike Ross didn’t get top 3 in Marvel. I mean his team beat team AGE he must be the best right?

yeah my bad but i haven’t been able to go to tournaments and haven’t been able to upload all my hot reset shit yet.

i have a new working stick now (mvc2 te) so i’ll try to get to work on some more shit but i feel so bad for not reppin the magnus threads in reality ><

You’ve done quite a bit never stress it. Just make sure you upload some pics of the TE when you’re done.

I don’t think I’ve done enough in my honest opinion.

Nice stick how much did you get it for and now that you have a stick does that mean you’ll be uploading stuff soon?
Also in the mean time I have a pretty big question.
Mainly how to play anchor magneto. Incoming mixups and xfc lv.3/lv.2 combos outside the corner, strategy etc.
I know it’s a big question but peeps overlooked it in the QnA thread.

#1 Got the stick for free and yes I should be uploading some things soon.

#2 Anchor magnus; play him more like a nut if you have xfactor 3. concerning mix ups you don’t really need them in this position if you’re not in the corner. like if you got somebody mid screen or corner, just think of marvel 2 and you’ll get a general idea of how to play anchor magnus.

My first marvel game was Ultimate :frowning:
When I see Marvel 2 Magnus it looks sexy but I don’t get whats going on I just see cr.h launcher sj. hhhhh cr.h and it does like 50%. Looks cool though.

I got the same feels man. Guy worked way harder than that guy Cloud. Busted his ass in training mode learning matchups, played and trained with one of the best players in Marvel only to get bopped by an online warrior lol.

They also said that he would go to the runback here and there but would do horrible. If I was that cloud guy, I would be hitting the slots in Vegas.

@TimTim, XF2-3, midscreen Rom becomes really easy almost undroppable. If you dont feel comfortable with that then you could always just do flight, make sure it corner carries then HG loops with S.

Corner, you could do the st.H xx HG under XF3. Under XF2 you can do cr.M, st.H xx HG.

Old video but you can get an idea:

So… I think I need to find a more oppressive magneto team…
I guess Jam Session and Derpgil it’ll be…

What other teams would you say are the most Oppressive Magneto teams (I really don’t want to join the Zero Army but damn that character makes things so much easier than fighting as honestly as Magneto generally does)

ROM ahhhh I completely forgot about that I’ll grind it out.

I wouldn’t try to discredit Cloud805, he’s been a great player since Vanilla and one of the premier Zero/Dantes since the game’s inception.

Besides, Champ doesn’t play against any good Zeros or Dantes in Norcal so he’s probably not too good in those matchups anyways since Schmidt quit Zero and there’s only like 2-3 good Dantes in the world.

You shouldn’t quit because Champ lost, if you’re going to quit you should quit because this game is ass. I’ve basically exhausted most of my love for the game because I’m tired of getting Dark Vergil’ed.

The most oppressive Magneto point team is Magneto/Morrigan/Doom but it takes months to make a fresh new Morrigan tournament caliber; she’s probably the hardest character in the game.

I think his point, which a lot of people aren’t giving the credit it deserves, is that Zero is the type of character that practically negates practice, learning the game, and being an all around better player because of how strong he is. He allows a player of substantially lower skill to compete with better players because of how powerful he is.

I do agree with some of those statements but I’ve learned most of the top tiers in this game and Zero really isn’t the character I’d immediately go to if I want an easy win with no practice, whereas I can play Vergil anchor and lose both my first 2 characters and still feel like I’m winning the game once I’m glowing red with DT because it’s basically the strongest thing in the game and doesn’t require me to do shit.

Vergil is a heck of a lot easier than zero, but zero is still better than him. EVEN if you put him in the end glowing red, he’s still better than vergil (lol @ meterless Lightning Loop) . Only reason you don’t see him there is because he’s the best point in the game.

I’m not saying you don’t need to work to learn the character to be successful with him–you do. And I agree that Vergil is much easier than him. But it’s not so much about comparing him to another broken character like Vergil. It’s that, in a lot of ways, to win with Zero consistently you only have to learn how to play Zero (even if that’s not easy). Whereas to win with the sort of characters that Champ uses, and most of the other characters in the game, you have to learn things like: what do I need to do to punish certain moves by other characters, when are those moves safe and when are they not, how do I punish that particular assist, what are my opponents movement options, how do I get out of a particular mix up situation, etc. Whereas with Zero he has so many unbelievable options that he can essentially impose his will on the opponent at his leisure. You don’t have to worry about a lot of tools that other characters have because he straight destroys almost all of them and he can make the opponent block (all while he is very safe) and completely negate their offense. For example, how many characters don’t have to worry about Wolverine’s divekick AT ALL. Think about how that kind of thing lessens the amount of thought or preparation you have to do to win in comparison to what you have to take into account with Magneto in that match up. It’s why someone who plays mostly online can go toe to toe with someone like Champ just by using Zero. It’s also why a lot of Zero players are only good with Zero and not their other characters. The rest of their team is going to require a level of match up knowledge, game mechanic knowledge, and experience that Zero doesn’t.

Most Zero teams have Vergil bro.

Most teams have Vergil lol

Just switched from pad to fight stick–I can finally plink dash…But now I can’t do anything else that I used to be able to do. Any advice would be much appreciated.
