The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

I like Blodia alot with Magneto, super armor during dashes as well as being projectile invincible and faster.

I kinda wish I got the preorder Amazon pack now that I use Doom, I actually really like how buff he looks in his alt.

Wait…WTF Oh well I kinda like the Master of Magnet deal lol it’s still humurous to me

EDIT: I think my new video is pretty cool so let me know what you think:

Here’s some videos of me against a really good Chris/Morrigan/Magneto player on PSN named Darchon. I’m open to any suggestions or critiques since I am ass and drop…everything. Also I use cr.H way too fucking much without making it safe :[ I’m also a moron and free to Hyper Grav as I am coming in.

One of the things I saw was that you kept dropping the fly loop once you got in. Another thing I saw is that you kept hitting them off the sky with H you need to figure out how to pick them up when you do that and capitalize on the damage you can get off of that. Also I’m going to say that I do think you do know how to do what I highlighted so maybe you couldn’t do them because you were online. I know I can’t do the basic stuff online either with Magneto and it makes me rage.

Pretty good there Dino, thats as good as I could expect any Magneto player to play online with a decent connection. The only problem you have is the same one 'm trying to fix myself, converting a random air fierce into a combo. I shouldn’t even call it a problem really, but I think your Magneto (and mine) would be even better if we could turn those random hits into a full combo.

j.:h: j.:s: addf :h: c.:h: :s: is a solid conversion from random j.:h: hits to full combo

so is :h: addf :h: ( :l: or :m: depending on their height) :h: addf :h:, repeat 3x. 5 reps does around ~420-450k meterless but is hard to maintain depending on wonky hitboxes and what not. You can do j.:m: j.:h: addf :h: 4 times pretty reliably if you maintain their height correctly.

You can also OS your air throw/ air dash or j. fierce with a :l: Magnetic Blast. If you throw them or tech a throw, you don’t get Magnetic Blast. If they get hit by your :h: :l: Magnetic Blast, you can easily convert it to a full combo. If they block it, you have a good mix-up opportunity

Yeah converting random jH into combo is kinda hard for me, is the optimal way to do it jH, land st.L st.S? I still can’t do the Fanatiq/RayRay-style air to ground conversion since I can’t pull off addf jS consistently without accidental TACs. I can do the basic fly loop 100% offline but my dash H inputs get fucked up sometimes during online, but I’m slowly transitioning into doing Alioune’s combo online now.

Good to see another pad player rocking Magneto, Settai!

I still not done with the first video Din0 but I’m headed to bed right now as I have finals tomorrow and Friday.

I can tell you right now though that you’re not making good use of the safe pressure/mix-up tools you have. Get them drones out man but be safe and smart about it.

j.:h:, land s.:l: :s: still works wonders but I find the Fanatiq technique (j.:h: j.:s: addf :h: c:h: :s:) normalizes their height better for me, plus it’s all fierce and special so it adds a decent bit of nigh unscaled damage to the beginning.

Sometimes I still use j:h: addf :h: s.:l: :s: if I did the initial :h: as part of a normal jump and not an air dash OS

Thanks, I’m practicing your first conversion right now. Good luck on finals bro. (Isn’t it a little late in the month for finals?)

I’m planning to go to my first local soon since my area is actually high level as fuck (ShadyK, DiosX, Viscant, Genghis), I just don’t want to embarrass myself lol.

nother system change that affects us slightly

Doesn’t really affect us other than not being hit by that generic ass mix up by Zero anymore. Magneto relies on real mix ups, resets that lead into 100% and other sorts gravity trickery.

Btw Aerial when you comin up with those midscreen mix up options for ya thread?

True, just makes it easier to block shenanigans.
:frowning: going to Canada fo ra week so no labbing for me, but hopefully I can get some matches in with that TOSF crew.

Good shit bro and hopefully those matches will end up on youtube.

Yeah all of my friends are already home and on break. My last final is on Friday though.

Just remember, play them as much as you can and get blown up. You should be embarrassed if you get blown up by something, recognize it, then allow it to happen again. No shame in getting fucked up if you’re learning from it.

I’ll definitely be able to pour plenty of hours into the lab after this weekend is over. I’m still not sure about being able to capture it because as you’ve seen, the camera on my phone is ass. I have a digital camera I could use but I lost my tripod. I have no real capture device :frowning:

I had one of those back in the good old Halo 2 days.

If you’re still having trouble with it, the proper timing (assuming they’re not in a really awkward position) is

j.:h: j.:s: PAUSE addf :h: then continue as normal. If you do it too fast, addf :h: won’t come out. Do it too slowly and they’ll fall out.

Dat padneto.
