The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

haven’t played magneto since vanilla, and want to use him on my secondary team. I think I need a REALLY strong DHC since gravitation into magnetic blast is pretty garbage. also need drones or missles to amplify magneto’s mixup ability. I’m starting to realize that MSS is actually a really good team.

…the only thing in my way is learning how to do magnetic blast… doesnt he have a modified fly loop?

j.M, fly, j.L, j.H is the fly loop starter in Ultimate.

Magnetic Blast loops do way more damage and are easier to convert into the hypergrav loop.

Also, Taskmaster, Skrull, Nova and Sentinel all have great supers for magneto to DHC into.

I used to run MSS… to be honest Storm provides very little to a team aside from Hail Storm DHC (which is very good).

Honestly most MSS players only run the team out of some sense of obligation. There are characters who get more out of Drones than Storm. Shit, there are characters who love Drones but they love Magneto’s estaka assist even more.

The only thing stopping me from running Vergil/Magneto/Sentinel over Vergil/Wesker/Magneto is that Vergil relies on OTG assists for his combos. It’s not like he can get 20k extra damage with an OTG assist, I mean a normal spiral swords loop without OTG assist gets him around 750k for 1 bar, meanwhile with an OTG assist, he easily exceeds 900k for 1 bar. Shit, with a DHC into Magnetic Tempest, it’s almost 1.2million for 2 bars or just 1million if you wanna Devil Trigger DHC into Shockwave and get that delicious powered up rapist slash

If you still want me to test it, then let me know bro.

Yeah, I still want you give it a shot. I’ve just been busy lately and still slightly busy. I’ll drop you a message when I get some more free time later on.

I’m running Mags/Akuma/Wesker in that order, thinking about swapping in Sent instead of Wesker, thoughts?

Mags/Sentinel/Akuma is a good team. Sentinel with a decent assist is scary in the right hands, and Akuma is a good anchor too.

What is thi…I don’t even…still lol. So many questions

Whatever Magneto does not like he destroys. We need to have that mentality when playing him in Ultimate.

BTW, I’m getting xbox live next month. So…as much as I hate live; GT: DatEffinMagnus

Dat third person swag.

OmgItzAndre posted a Mags combo vid up but it’s really nothing we haven’t seen before.

Nothing new except having proper capture equipment.

Also, he totally went psychic on the next song I was going to use on a vid xD Goddamn it.

If you use anything from Wagon Christ or the Isley Brothers I’m gonna slap you lol

Is anyone else starting to get annoyed at this kind of shit

MODOK "ROM

Spoiler

How is that shit even close to a ROM? I mean, not even Vanilla “ROM” was ROM. It was Ghetto-ass “You’re about to drop out” ROM.
Starting to annoy me. A lot. That and “MAGNETO STILL HAS IT!” “TRON STILL GOT IT!”

i’m not gonna lie shit like that calling funky looking combos (don’t get me wrong, that modok combo looks hot for one bar) ROM just because it’s long. Because if that were the case then all of Dante’s combos should be called ROM LOOP #1092839721469812743

Another thing “MAGNETO STILL GOT IT!” Mother fuckers, Magneto never lost it. So just get your shit together, learn this new technology and stop being a fuckin stream/pot monster.

I remember when Magneto could build that kind of meter solo… :frowning:

He still can, but you have to put in more work which is the trick =/

My usual setup that gets me around 2.5 bars is this reset here (on forward or no air recovery):

Notation (spelling out whole moves annoys me now lol)

I am on some pinky and the brain lab rat type shit lol

EDIT: Yo it took me a minute, but I noticed that after Vergil does backwards air recovery you could catch him (and when I say “catch” him I mean do this immediately as he’s recovering)with adf j.:h: 896:l: into a full combo…holy fuck

Um, hes from Chicago homie.

Chicago we in there.

Also, he goes by IFD Limbo.

yo, I need some swag in my life. . . . that rage q… nah, fuck that, I want that “stupid swag”. somebody give me a reason to stay in the lab forever.
