The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

Yeah them IM combos and tac combos looked sick, shitty hotel net though didn’t get to see much, idk though could someone, even Alucard use that team better than Joker? =/

Alukard plays different than joker imo. Joker is more reliant on drones which gives him some crazy setups but also gets him happy birthday’d more often. Alukard is a little more patient and willing to pick his spots to rush down.

They’re both fun to watch though, I’d love to see them play a set. (Joker vs Alukard MM? LOL)

Also, what do you guys think is the easiest version of the hyper grav loop and the best way to transition into it from fly loop once I’m the corner? This combo has been very difficult for me to learn…

anyway to squeeze more damage in?

ROM all the way to the corner after the relaunch and do one rep of the hyper grav loop, launch, j.H, Disruptor L, Tempest. I don’t know how to incorporate the Rapid Slash in that, but just doing what I said Magnus can get up to 780k solo

Pulled off my first ever ROM in training mode today. Felt like god on earth.

Oh yeah, the new guy helping someone out lol…For h-loops into grav. In the corner I think it’s easiest to just un-fly rather then other things I’ve seen posted like plinking S~A or something like that, to do that when your doing h-loops watch the opponents body correlation to your air H, when they start falling un-fly right after the H that hits about waist-head then as you are falling from flight you should be able to do HH xx L. Hyper grav. Like normal.

Now as for the actual hyper gav. loops, just try out the different sj. Directions and air dash directions and use what’s most comfortable for you, some say sj.uf, add drops the least but Im un-comfortable doing UF, I started with sj.u, addf, but got more comfortable with doing sj.u, add, with a addf added after the 3rd add rep to reposition myself closer sometimes, depending on the timing and precision of the first 3 loops.

So how was my first advice giving veteran Magnus players? =P

I’ve spent my first couple weeks with Magneto learning movement, tri-dashes/flight, learning his specials etc, now looking moving on to combos.

I’ve been loooking through all the videos across the threads in on the Magneto page, but I’m unsure where to start when learning Magneto combos. Fly loops? Hypergrav? ROM? M.Blast? Any? Is there one thats generally accepted to start with first when learning? Where should I focus my energy first?

From fly, do 5 Hs then airdash down forward HS (the S wont come out but will ground you) and then grounded H xx Hyper Grav.

From there it is the normal super jump dash down H land H xx Hyper Grav loop

I’m having real issues catching high mobility characters

played a good spiderman recently and I was lost

any tips

gonna need to make some reads and snipe with disruptor after you call an assist that they’ll have to block when they tech allowing you to start an offense. if you can get higher than them with flight, do it and fire some blasts. you can also straight up go air to air with j.h and get confirms off that. you forget that magneto is also a high mobility character, use it to your advantage.

dont be afraid to use shockwave either, it usually catches people when they’re running their shit up there.

stop chasing them and start punishing them, it’s not always about rushing shit down. use assist and wait for the right moment to apply pressure. And make sure you don’t stay underneath those type of characters. Also, those type of players are easy to anti air/throw, so when you do get in bait out the jump cause that shit is guaranteed. punish the bad habits:tup:

yer was getting real impatient , even forgot about gravitation

lost like 8 games In a row:(

have you considered doing a rom or variant to get you to the corner and then proceeding to emp rom?

Im not going to lie, i’ve been trying to do the ROM since vanilla, i’ve had great difficulty doing it, i can get three reps max in the corner but midscreen etc i can never get it consistently for tournament level.
Ive watched alot of videos on it including nearly all of animas videos since vanilla and just cant do it.

I remember I was just like you tryin to do roms and fuck up the air dashing hit confirm. Just do what I did and study the ROM hands video religiously, then proceed to training mode for a few hours practicing it and other shit.

I haven’t played Magneto in about a week.

Now I’m dropping like fucking everything :frowning:

That sure deserved a like xD

Diggin that Avy Kanta-Kun

That is dope, that Troneto…corny I know -_- but needed lol.

lol so yeah more people need to run mags with akuma. its still stupid good.
