The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

[luis_fernando]

when u fight a zero that does lighting buster cancel crap, the match up gets increasingly difficult.

anyone got any anti vergil strats? tri jump offense is really risky against this guy because he can just launch on reaction, it is so dumb.

super secret zero tip: if youre playing a zero that likes to do lvl. 3 buster into lightning, its not a true blockstring. you can do any move in between, even launch
a lot of zeros do this and many players dont know this as far as I know

Tri Jump S cross up

Step 1 - Superjump UF over a character’s head

Step 2 - (Not sure what the correct timing is) dash DF j.S

If you do it at the right time Magneto will (auto correct) backdash S. you can even do it up close(SJUF, ADD, J,S)

I’ve been trying to learn that shit for a month now. I can only get it perfect in the corner.

basically you do it when you see them about to move towards you then hit confirm that nigga

thanks, I couldn’t figure out how I was making him auto correct back dash, shit was giving me a headache. I’ll test that shit tomorrow because I’m at my limit.

http://www.twitch.tv/torontotoptiers/b/307548890 this is a stream of the last tournament i played in. The games i got on stream were at 15:45, 1:19:30, and 1:25:05(the next match). I’m open to any tips, suggestions, critique to my play as I just want to level up

Hey luis, I actually remember you from the underdog tournament. But anyways, you have a pretty solid team. The only thing I’ll have to inquire about is that instead of going straight to hyper grav loop, wouldn’t it be more damaging if you add in some blast combos inbetween, and then going into hyper grav? I’m pretty sure you can still do your usual ender-A2+st.S,j.MMHS, hyper grav, tempest. I’m a day 6 magneto user, but coming from a few top players, im pretty solid. So excuse any errs I may showcase.

[Gekks]

Got a question at timing wesker gun otg into tempest in the corner after a heavy dash loop
I can never get the timing quite right? Do I call wesker assist as magneto touches the ground as I dash down?
or a bit earlier?

[Allori]

I also have a question, when I try to do the j.H rom, I sometimes get Heavy EMD. Is there a special trick as to going about the rom? Or is it all practice?

Find the deadzones on your stick, don’t roll your motions or you will get tiger knee’d moves.

[Allori]

I don’t use stick. I play analog on both xbox and ps3 pads.

then you will never be able to learn rom. Also, don’t use macros to tri dash.

[Din0]

Macros during tri-dashing is fine and ROM is still possible on pad ie. Fanatiq.

[Ika_Zuchi_No_Kami]

IMO, doing rom combos on pad is to much of a risk. It’s official, Din0’s hand were crafted by God.

[Sabin41]

Messaged this one to Blood already but I found a pro use for Mags Hyper Grav assist.

Haggar.

Run Magnus and point and use his neutral to set up a corner TAC into the mayor who proceeds to do his near infinite bounces/resets with the Hyper Grav assist call so you can OTG with his C. H cancelled into forward pipe.

Nah I can only get 2 reps everytime before I fuck up. IMO it’s not worth learning if you already have Alioune’s blast loop mastered but Fanatiq does ROM just fine on his pad.

I have found it very important to learn both, as sometimes hits from assists for example, may mess up a magnetic blast loop because of hit stun scaling. ROM also gets you further across the screen if you’re not running the side switch.

[bloodabeast]

my magneto is getting a lot better rushdown and mix-up wise. a lot more dynamic movement

Any tips you’ve discovered? I’ve taken to tri-dashing under drones into c. H, it’s cheap but it works.

[bloodabeast]

Basically, I’ve been trying to move more like this [media=youtube]wd9HmVUXaOI[/media]
and so far I’ve been getting in with the way I’ve been moving

EDIT: Also, the reason I’ve been taking so long with my video is that I’m trying to capture some of these in action when I’m playing Ranked/Lobbies so you know my shit is real

Magnus Solo Reset

if you R! Tri Jump H Mag wont cross up.
if you R! Tri Jump S Mag will cross up.
cancel into fly for another overhead.
add assist for 100% guaranteed setup.
back knockdown recovery
Sentinel - don’t call drones until you dash under.
can be set up for front knockdown recovery in the corner.
you don’t have to super jump.
