The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

I’ve quit this game probably 4 times already.

Shit is like an abusive relationship. UMvC3 pulls some domestic violence swag on me and I’m like FUCK YOU I’M SLEEPING AT MY SISTER’S HOUSE AND THIS GAME IS OVER !! then we have lunch the next morning and I move back in.

You can’t quit because…

I was wondering when you’d quote that lol. I must keep on as I still have to put in an entry for Snoooootches Combo challenge

I was thinking of trying Magneto as an anchor for Dormammu and Wesker. Dormammu is my best character. Doesn’t XF make Magneto go back into vanilla Magneto?

anyone wants to get some psn games in with me my username is Justin3201. Like sum laggy goodness. I might not play magneto. he’s like a secondary still one of my favorite char. Plus I’d like some experience. i’m pretty free.

Yeah.

I don’t really like him as anchor, because when the Red Juice runs out, you have a much harder time getting the damage in to kill a team. it’s absolutely possible though.

EDIT: Shoutouts to Doom for being magneto’s retarded younger brother.

Yeah, I know. Though honestly, I don’t want to rely on XF4 Dark Wesker to save me if things go completely south. And I want to use Disruptor for teleport crossups.

Anyone got any tips on Magnetic Blast Dashes? On the 3 Dash, i.e., it the Dash often cancels the blast which is confusing me. Figured it would be the other way around if, anything. Is it just timing the L at a certain point in the Dash?

You have to plink the MH dash into L attack. the input should be 8963, MH-L not 8963, MH, L attack.

On the first combo when you’re doing the ROM part are using superjump or normal jump? Been trying to find a way to do a corner carry, and that one looks the best.

^^^^ Settai: He is using superjumps.

Ahhh thanks. Never bothered to learn his ROM loop in Vanilla, but I might as well learn it now.

There are plenty easier/more consistent corner carries than current ROM variants

dunno if this is the most efficient but it’s certainly the easiest high damage combo for me, personally

cr.LMHS j.H adf j.H xx L Magnetic Blast, land, slight dash cr.MHS sj u/f j.H addf j.H, land, j.MHxx L Magnetic Blast, land, S j.MH adf j.HS

corner to corner Grav loops/Tempest if you have the otg assist, otherwise you can end it early if you started from midscreen ~550K damage before the super

btw hi all, I’ve been lurking since February, but now that ROM isn’t the go-to, I feel like I may actually have something to contribute :slight_smile:

What other corner carries does he have that allows him to end in Magnetic Tempest? The Magnetic Blast loop can get me there if I extend it, but only if I use Hidden Missiles to OTG. Only problem with that is that most of the time I’ve already used Hidden Missiles to pin the opponent down, making it unavailable during the combo.

That’s identical to my BnB, except you should omit the dash c.:m::h::s: and replace it with sj :uf:air dash :df::h:, c.:h:.:s:. The :m: is going to give you less damage and more HSD if my memory serves me correctly

You can do abacus’ combo (corner to corner if your spacing is correct), except replace the final :s: with :h: hypergrav :l:. I don’t think you can get any hypergrav loops off of it since you’re flirting with serious HSD at that point

Thanks guys gonna work on it right now. Didn’t even see you post that combo Abacus my bad

By final S do you mean the 3rd launcher, not that the j.S, correct? iirc if it’s done as a true corner to corner, you may be just outside of range for that. Although with your version I could see that being more reliable. Btw in my combo you don’t have to do the cr.M before the relaunch you can just cr.H, just makes it slightly easier. Regardless though, your version has that additional H attack so I’m gonna try it out, doesn’t hurt that it seems swaggier, as I imagine it. Thanks!

Yeah, the third launcher.

I’ve posted a video of me doing the combo in my mix-ups/reset thread

apologizing for video quality already. I didn’t do the final :s: into hard knockdown air combo because it was for midscreen forward recovery I believe
