Aww shit RayRay doing them emp loops on the big two tonight
shout out to EMP Santhrax with dat day1 Magnus.
this is my response:
lol I remember that. he’s still a scrub until he proves he’s not free/salty, good to have a mahvel OG back tho.
Didn’t he win top 8 (or 16) at EVO?
If he liked this game, he’d be top of the line for sure.
Not sure if it’s fine to post this in the mags thread or not, but MegaManSteve said on the Big 2 stream that if Vergil does raw rapid slash into swords w/o an assist to cover, you can snap Vergil after rapid slash and it will trade, so for the cost of one bar you get rid of swords and reset the situation. thought it was a neat thing to hear.
Glad you posted this lol, I went out to the gym and came back at 2-1 with RayRay vs Chris G…I must have missed this part but this is great to know.
I use this same tactic against anchored Wesker when they do a random super trying to cross you up or chip. Its a clean hit against it actually… and its very insulting when doing it with Magnus cuz it looks like Magneto is bitch slappin Wesker. It also makes them think twice doing a random super.
j.M is soooooo good. that is all.
god I wish I could learn one combo at a time
learn one thing and then boom something more stylish comes along
the magnetic blast. combo is boring , but I can’t Rom,
ah back on the grind
sooooooooooooo…
who’s going to CEO? srk magnus forum meetup?
Alright I started with Mags ass backwards IMO, being the Marvel scrub I am, I was like Ooh combos -_- so I got the h-loops, grav. Loops, mag blast(corner & mid) and a bit of EMP, but now I need to practice movement and hit confirms, but “HOW” exactly do you guys practice that, 1 month till EVO, I can’t go 0-2 with Lord Swagnus…???
go into training room with a friend and play tag for a few hours.
I feel like a hypocrite after that one “hand fed” post, because i’ve seen that posted before -_- Only problem with that is that I’m working out of town right now, so no one around but my dad and online(<- NO! Not with Mags) any other tips or suggestions?
put the CPU on hardest, take all their meter away but set your meter to infinite, turn off health regen. Objective is not losing.
They block everything almost, so when you do land a hit, you better confirm that shit. Any kind of hit. Fullscreen disruptor into squeeze, tri j.L into combo, air-to-air j.H into combo, anything.
Two things I’ve never seen any players use in the corner… I’ve always use this with drones
After corner S ender… Attraction/Repulsion, Normal Tri Jump Cross up(auto correction) S. Really good for when you have enough space in the corner to cross up. Probably the best j.S hitconfirm setup since you have the option to ADDB, j.L or j.S
At the beginning of this video I use it to get in the corner. I’m surprise no one notice this.

Screen Entry…SJ, j.M, ADD, j.S<-- This is the safe/fastest way to get them to the ground and probably where j.M shines the most since j.M is better than j.H vs hypers on entry. Also, this is good against air dashers and you can convert it they don’t block. The high/low/Fly mix ups you get from this are very good. That low fly tech you guys found a few weeks ago work here best.
^ this against a lot of different characters.
edit - was referring to kantas post
being a new school kid… i started on marvel 3 rather than 2. after watching and analyzing many many mvc2 and xmvssf matches with an og friend, i will say magneto really hasnt aged well… holy shit. he was SO fast in those games
Yep I’m going 0-2 at EVO, unless I get halfway decent at Marvel in a month ={
I’ve accidentadally performed the magblast autocorrect tactic a few times. I’ve tried to reproduce this technique in training mode, and can’t figure out how I did it. Can anybody give me some specific pointers on how it’s done? I can’t figure out what I did.
Also, I’ve seen raw flight :s: mentioned a few times in here. (flight from ground, S overhead). And people are correct, it is easy to see coming. And that is actually to Magneto’s advantage with the opponent in the corner. I’m not sure if this is has been covered already, but if you go to flight mode , :s:~magblast, Magneto lands faster than he would if :s: actually connects/gets blocked. It’s the same basic principle as safe jump tactics in traditional SF’ers. You land faster if the attack whiffs. Basically what happens, is you kara the :s: into magblast. The :s: will send Magneto to the ground. Kara’ing into magblast will cause only the startup of the magblast to come out (so opponent sees pink), but by the time they realize it’s not the :s: (which also has pink), Magz is already on the ground doing low short (crouching :l:) hit confirm to whatever. Midscreen, it’s not that great. Because when the opponent tries to pushblock the :s:, they will backdash. If the opponent is in the corner though, their backdash start up frames are negated by Magz low short. It’s really fast, so you won’t even see their backdash startup. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have a lock down assist. So when I go for it, I have to guess if my opponent is going to chicken block or not. If I’m guessing that they are going to chicken block my flight setup, I do flight, :s:~magblast, uf+:h: (throw). I have haggar as an assist, so I actually do uf+LARIAT ASSIST + :h: … this way if I fuck up, they still have to deal with the Mayor.
EDIT: Also, if you notice your opponent does not chicken block, you can also just land and throw them.
