The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

Was watching CEO before the cut, and the commentators were explaining a reset that FChamp was doing after he gets the opponent scared of the TAC. I didn’t really understand it though, could someone explain it to me? Looked like he just resets with a j.L and goes for an air grab instead, but when he would whiff it, it looked like a j.S instead.

the point is to reset them with the L and because they would be pressing S to counter the TAC, then their characters S move comes out and you stuff with j. S. he doesnt go for an air grab, just a hit.

Bunch of you guys are bustin out the midscreen hype grav loops. Heres to hoping RayRay is downloading those videos posted. Would like to see him swag it out on stream.

I like watching RayRay and Joker, they give Magneto style. RayRay with those Mblasts combos and Joker with the Roms.

Ok, is there some sort of glitch with the Tempest post hyper grav? because I occasionally fuck it up and RayRay just lost a match vs Justin because of it.

Basically, you input the hyper, but you get a :m: instead.

And Fanatiq with that OG Stale Fly combo.

Kanta I have a similar experience happen to me but with H instead of M, probably deals with what buttons we use for doing super.

its definitely something that happens, but i just blame it on my inputs. its seems that this is something that doesnt happen to just me then :confused:

It used to happen to me A LOT but i’ve taken to doing HCB instead of QCB and I never drop it anymore. I have a tendency to have really messy inputs when the pressure is on but this has helped me a lOt

That happens if you try to cancel into tempest too fast. I think we’re hitting the LM before completing the QCB motion.

I see. at least its not just me fuggin it up

Ya used to do it too. First I blamed it on my habits of plinking from sf4 but it was really what Ika Zuchi No Kami said…I was doing it too fast.

Gonna try to get some footage of one of my training sessions in with my friend sami (drugged fox he runs mags/wesker/akuma) this week. IMO he’s one of hte best mags players around. Before CEO he and FR RoachKing did a FT100 to train Aaron up for the mags match up, Sami won 100-50. This is the same RoachKing that qualifies in majors, and beats people like Jago, Noel, Fanatiq and others in tourney and MMs.

Hopefully if everything goes as planned it should be up by this time next week.

Not sure if this is known yet, but I was bored in training mode today and came up with a cool variation of the hypergrav loop but prolly does less damage. It’s stylish nonetheless. This only works off a raw hypergrav, so I would only use it off throws (corner). Throw, light hypergrav… wait till you are at the peak of the hypergrav lift, jm jh light magnetic blast x2, stand h, light hyper grav, wait till you are at the peak of the hypergrav … jm jh light magnetic blast x2, stand h, light hyper grav… wait till you’re at the peak of the hypergrav height… j m jh light magnetic blast, standing h, light hypergrav, standing h, s, jh, l disruptor, tempest
It’s really just a combo for fun and it takes practice getting the timing right.

What teams do you guys think is Magneto’s worst match up? IMO, getting in against a good Chris with protection can be a pain in the ass. hell… trying to zone Chris is a pain in the ass.:sweat:

Anything with Jam Session rocking in front of it… especially Zero.
In General Jam Session and Tatsu backed teams are hard to fight though

Chris by himself is easy because he has no air control. The top corner of the stage is a safe zone and Magneto can through MBs if he decides to stay on the ground, or Disruptors if he tries to jump. Chris with Hidden Missiles is massive pain in the ass though and makes me want to punch puppies

That’s the problem tho… he’s never by himself. I feel like Chris is one of the best counters to Mag/Sent Mag/Doom shells cause he can fuck those teams up for free. Being a smart player is a plus and extends the life span of point Magnus but you still gonna get blown up by a good Chris shell, dude be using gunslinger, throwing bombs, and snapping necks 24/7.:rofl:

Exactly what are you having trouble with when dealing with Chris? Sniping your drones with magnum? Are you landing on mines when you triangle jump him? You should try to scare him a bit with EM disruptor, and hope he does a whiffed magnum, cause that has recovery. You can use that time to call drones or whatnot. If you’re using Hidden Missiles, you could jump, air dash up, fly and hover over his head, call hidden missiles and dash past him, essentially making Doom invulnerable to attacks. (Unless you call him too close or something like that.) Then when the hidden missiles fall, if he’s not jumping you have a free mix up. You just have to be a bit patient and know it’s not always your turn.

i can do that, but how does that help with canceling magnetic blast with a dash?

You do it the other way around, you do the motion and then plink dash INTO magnetic blast.
