The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

im confused as to how this motion works. wouldnt you get either the dash, or the hard magnetic blast?

You get the dash and L-Magnetic Blast as soon as the dash starts, because you can Magnetic Blast while dashing but you cannot dash while Magnetic Blasting.

okay my question for the magblast dashing: Does it have to be that exact motion or can it be somewhat lenient with the motions and inputs?

it has to be that exact motion. It’s a matter of getting used to the timing and REAAAALLY riding the gate. be firm with the motion.

I should be in ATL around 7-8pm, we’re gonna be hanging out with the FR team and maybe Noel Brown and them if ya’ll wanna try and get some matches in tonight.

Good shit man! Gimme a name so that I can root for ya when I see you on stream lol

Anyone got a link to this plinked M-Blast stuff? Sounds useful but I wanna make sure before trying to use it because plinkng on a pad is just… ugh

Yea, when I super jump up and try it the magnetic blast doesn’t come out, so it looks like Magnus is faking it. I need to work on my execution, desperately. :shake:

I’ll be up there too, prolly around 9…my mags is pretty free but i’d like to get some matches-inbox me or somethin if I can get some matches in with ya

Good luck on Final Round guys.

Do you have to do it with a Herald alt?

Also, sorry if I’m way late on this, but Mags has really scary hit confirmable fuzzy guard mixup. Lol, at nerfing his airdash because it allows for 9A addf j.L cr.L into whatever. The more I play with this guy the more I think it should be impossible to block him when played maximally.

if you want herald colors, you need a char with herald colors. if you want the alt, you need a char with the alt.

Ah Royal Swag Magnus, we do meet after all :slight_smile:

I’ve been messing around in training mode lately looking for a good corner Down TAC for Mags, and I came up with one based on a Down TAC I do with Doom.

Down TAC into Magneto = (J) M, (J) M, (J)H, ADUF, (J) M, (J) M, (J)H ~ Fly, (J) L, (J) H, ADDF, (J) H, ADF, (J) H, ADF, (J) H, ADF, (J) H ~ Unfly, H ~ (L) Hyper Grav ~ Magnetic Tempest

or

Down TAC into Magneto = (J) M, (J) M, (J)H, ADUF, (J) M, (J) M, (J)H ~ Fly, (J) L, (J) H, ADDF, (J) H, ADF, (J) H, ADF, (J) H, ADF, (J) H, (J) S

I’m really liking the second TAC combo, but what I want to know is if it’s possible to get 1-2 hypergrav in there?

You could get one maybe if the combo from the character your TACing from is extremely short. Hit stun decay kicks in extremely fast as soon as you land with Mags. I was also thinking if you can find some type of assist that comes out fast and keeps the opponnent in hitstun long enough to hit the with hypergrav~magnetic tempest, would make it possible to do a long combo before TACing into Mags.

Lost in losers semi’s in pools.
I lost to AndyOCR and a Zero/Trish/Doom.
Beat that fraud Remix in a MM though :smiley:
We were the boys that were dancing and sidebetting everyone on the stream.

We went 0-1 in teams (single elim) we were faced up with Team Final Round first match lol.

Hey guys. Couple questions…

  1. Regarding the magnetic blast dash: Can this maneuver only be accomplished at the peak of a super jump? I find that anything lower and the blast doesn’t fully come out.

  2. I can do the entire Aliouene Mag Blast combo, and all it’s variations offline. But it seems unreliable at best online. Do you guys have reliable online combos that yield comparable damage?

  3. I don’t see the need for fly H loops, but I do like having the ability to bust it out in certain circumstances. While I can do the loops by themselves, I can’t follow up S, j.H, ADDF, j.H, cr.H, S. j.H, ADF j.M j.L j.H, ADF j. H x5. The body is always too high to connect the j. L after ADF j.M. Any thoughts?

  4. I’m running Mags, Tasky, Doom. I realize it’s an outdated shell, but I do enjoy it and have had moderate success with it. Your thoughts or tips would be appreciated

  1. Make sure you use L MBlast and plink with MH

  2. I just started playing online again. IMO the fly loops and HGrab loops are 90% guaranteed.

  3. The tokido fly loop is your best friend. Corner to corner and can end with HGrab ,Tempest

3.1 Tokido flyloop - L, M, H, S, j.H, ADF, j.H, L MBlast, Dash S( delayed UF superjump) j.H, ADF, j.H, Fly, j.L, [j.H, ADF, j.H]x4, j.H, ADDF, j.H, S, H, HGrab

  1. I think 90% of Mags users run Mag/Doom. Sorry, I’m in that 10%.
