The Ultimate Magnus Thread. The godlike stuff

It’s certainly not new, however, I feel like j.L is very unsafe again people coming in try to throw you immediately.

@leafcolonel Yeah, those are the inputs I’m using.

Yeah, I figured it couldn’t have been new. The concept seems like something that should’ve been explored, but I never see people doing it. Happens though, came to share just in case.

Well it’s entirely possible to hit them before they’re in throw range/make it meaty. It seems pretty safe to me. Testing right now against myself trying to mash throw I either get hit or block.

I think everyone base their incoming mix ups off high lows and OS throws. The only real threat you have to watch off for is air XFC during entry, and Mag can stuff supers on start up too.

you have to space the j. L to get the most out of it. hit with the tip so that they cant just throw you.

also its better to also call an assist and cancel the H into fly so that the blast doesnt whiff and you can do the ADD MMS(S doesnt come out) mixup :stuck_out_tongue:

what, if possible that you use j:s: in place of j:l: ? it seems plausible but i haven’t yet thoroughly explored the tech myself. good job on bringing this back to the surface cjay

too much block stun

so instead of u/f jS, addf M+H, u/f jH xx Magnetic blast, you can only do u/f jL, addf M+H, u/f jH xx Magnetic blast for the incoming mixup?

So wait guys, I tried this and got it a few times by accident.
also why addf M+H? do you mean just use MH as the addf?

just addf. in that situation you can use any buttons :stuck_out_tongue:

you can also use j. M for the guard break :stuck_out_tongue:

Word thats what I thought, was just confused to see hte notation with ADDF and M+H there, usually its one or the other :stuck_out_tongue:
Back to the lab to practice execution :smiley:

Got my usb dongle for my arcade stick, but i’m still trying to fix the jlf inside. The problem you might ask is that I can’t go up/down back directions.

Meaning:

which is some bullshit. i need my marvel lol i got it to work temporarily, but i just dont know why it keeps doing it.

Challenge Accepted, No Block Gems activate!

lol that happened to my friend mid match at FR, he plays viper, so he won the match anyways. dat ex seismo.

it’s alright i cleaned the board under the shaft and the other shit around it. after that i lightly smacked the stick left-side and it works now. time to lab it up

Maybe I’m too obvious or something But the only way I open people up with mags is a throw… jeez I’m ass. I just air dash in H or crH or deesruptor or Mag blast. I’m too greedy for that Gravity Squeeze too

People in the tierlist thread say Magneto gets raped by pushblock if he doesn’t have a lockdown assist.
So I’m posting the results of a FB conversation in regards to Magneto dealing with pushblock –

Why doesn’t he have an assist? Da fuck?
If you’re spending the assist before going in, then push blocking shouldn’t be an issue. Since they should have to block the assist or something/
But you shouldn’t be spending the assist BEFORE going in, you should get in with a jump normal like j.H or j.S
then ground dash cr L+call akuma to get free mixups
like… you should never touch their block without an assist anyways.

But as for solo mags
you can do any air normal like j.H or j.S from a super jump
tridash etc > land > dash
full dash negates push block 100%, this is timing intensive but its not that fucking hard.
and you can go into either cr L or throw for some conditioning.
just do cr L then if you get push blocked its cool.
next time do the same thing then on the third attempt go for throw.
It’s essentially a free mixup you get from them spamming the pushblock.
if they block it in the air and push block just dash in and you pretty much get a 50/50 between jump throw and anti air jab
because you can delay the jump throw until they’re super low.

also, if you’re gdlk with magneto
If they push block a tridash S, you can actually ground dash into a tridash L fast enough that they can’t mash or jump out
even if getting push blocked
its really fucking hard

so yeah like
da fuck?

especially in the corner…
magneto literally ignores push block
in fact, one of the REASONS magneto is teh best
is because he doesn’t care about push block
incidentally, tahts also why dante is amazing
(and wesker, but people think push block beats him cuz they’re silly)
man people must be so bad if they think mags cares about pushblock
isn’t it like a georgia joke that he doesn’t care?
that push blocking doesn’t exist if i play mags?

I think solo Magneto definitely struggles against pushblock outside the corner as it resets the pressure(That’s his only flaw solo Xfactorless I feel), but with assists he gives no fucks, pushblock or not pushblock, either way you are eating that mixup. He definitely has more options against it than the majority of the cast though, so it doesn’t really matter. The useful part of it though unlike the majority of the cast, vs Magneto you have to guess on the pushblock between the high with throw OS and a low, that’s another reason why I think Magnetic Blasts are not that great without assists(arguably one of the best projectiles in the game with a horizontal assist) since you can simply pushblock the blasts and reset all the pressure vs Solo Magneto whileas with a tridash there is atleast a mixup involved.

Doom also gives 0 fucks about pushblock.

agreed Kanta, but you rarely see any dooms dash cancel his normals :<
