The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

Yo man this boxdash + MB blast stuff is absolutely ridiculous… the lockdown pressure is just amazing alone. Add in Drones though and its damn near impossible to deal with once you start blocking. Think I’m moving back to Drones folks…

You talkin just iad H+call sent xx blast, mixup? Or something else I’m missing? Also, won’t mags boxjump whiff crouching small characters? Maybe jS connects, dunno.

Also, settai, since I’ve been discussing it in another mag thread, what do u think of tatsu and cold star as alternative lockdowns? My team is mag doom-b xxx. Drones are obv great, and good for doom too, but cold star, tatsu, and even weasel shot work well as well.

I was getting ready to post up the rest of the frame data, but I forgot the guide and now i have to get it back lol

Well you’re not cancelling the IAD with H, but with MB instead. It hits the whole area infront of Magneto so crouching under it is impossible. Its not really a mixup though, its more of a way to setup a mixup. Each blocked MB gives you enough time for a high low mixup. Advancing guard doesn’t help them at all either. When you add drones into the mix you get so many chances for high low mixups its ridiculous. Also if they don’t block the MB Blast then of course you get an easy hit confirm.

As for assists they’re all good really. Cold star is the best alternative drones imo. Heck the only reason I think drones is better for Magneto is because it just gives you SO much time to open somebody and it doesn’t scale damage as badly. I can count on one hand my how many times I’ve seen anyone successfully block Magneto while pinned by drones. In order from best to worst I’d say Magneto favorite assists are drones, cold star, missiles, tatsu, and weasel shot

Very nice! I’m def gonna have to use that (the iad mb)! Does the iad mb seuence stay active enough to full protect the drones call? I suppose as long as the mb comes out, it prob doesn’t matter since it causes so much stun. Retract that question lol

I just played my first set with ammy in back and surprisingly I really felt strong with the dog. Based on assists alone, id say I decided on drones all the way, but I dunno if id feel nearly so strong with sent as I did dog, and I really like sent!

sigh first world problems, I guess.

lately I’ve been focusing more on IOH setups and found some funny shit. Also, Have any of you guys been messing with the midscreen EMP?

P.S. Blood, Swagnus for Dummies:wtf: Don’t forget:tup:

Oh so that shit’s on me now or are you puttin in on this too Broseph Stalin? I’ve been fuckin around in the lab tinkering with some Iron Man and Magneto and I swear I feel like I’m playing my mvc2 team again. Repulsor Blast + IAD MB:l:/:m: is just too good in the corner and it’s good midscreen too, albeit you change it up and do attraction while they try to do something.

Shit is just too godlike

As of today, I’m officially on Swagnus Vacation :sunglasses:

I’ve always been using the IAD MB tech but Joker make it look 10x more powerful since he abuse that shit niggas allday. And WTF was that shit with Doom vs Sent? Advance guard glitch?

That

Yeah that was exactly it. Fuzzy guard ftw

I’ve been playing Mag/IM/Sent for the last 2 weeks too. Repulsor Blast with Magneto is amazing especially the corner IAD MagBlast reset tech. I think it’s his best assist if you are already complimenting Magneto with Drones.

IM is like, on Dr. Strange levels of hard to play though.

It’s not a pushblock glitch. its just that the windows on pushblock are huge, and high blockstun moves get fucked.
Here’s a common doom setup you can abuse this on.
Doom does fh foot dive dash cancel down forward into a cr.l
if you block the footdive but not the low
you can still push block and get out of hte combo starter.

I thought Magneto for dummies was on me :o Bloo was working on the Reset video, amirite?

Maybe it’s on nobody.

Nah, but you’re right man. I’ll gladly help put in on that video though Kanta

I think IM is easier to play than Strange in my opinion lol

What? I didn’t know you agreed to help out since you had problems acquiring a capture card. Anyone else with a capture card want… no… you need to help out since your also a part of the Magnus community. Remember, this tutorial is to stop all new players from asking the same questions over and over again. If new players are still asking the same shit, then we have failed. Everything must be presented on a silver platter if you know what I mean.

P.S. You need to let us know what part of this project you’re currently working on so we don’t end up wasting time. communication is a must;)

Magneto for Dummies(Alpha ver.2) Every tutorial will be made in video format

I played sehmehnov yesterday and he hit me with launcher jH adf jH Magnetic Blast L, call Doom assist st.S jH adf jH jS (missiles hit) Hyper Grav H stS MMHS. which does like 540k for anyone whos playing online and is tired of getting fucked in the ass by lag.

Pretty sure you can add another blast loop or two, I’ll test it when I get home from work.

whoa whoa, that’s too much for me man i can’t do that. i’m out

I guess Kunta Kun and I will do it. Army of Two (that game was ass)

I can help with the capturing for this, … However I can’t cap stuff that will go for to long (like character match ups) as I may not have much free time.

Also is the composer going to use raw clips or is it ok to post the videos on youtube and they download them from there?

If not then we we will need a site to upload the captured footage.

Lastly, I hope the composer who is dealing with the clips that their PC can handle the HD clips should they be dealing with raw footage.
