he may not be as fast , even with emp nerf he’s still a good zoner, & a good all around character…phlip champ uses phoenix so his priority is different…and dont effect my opinion…i think he got nerfed but still a threat…
I checked it out – but I’m not sure what I was supposed to get out of it; the Mag player wasn’t able to do any new or old combo’s 
i was just showing you his speed nerf…i think theres a maxamillian video on that ill see if i can find it for you
looks more like a normal jump H rather than the super jump H combo though – I guess we’ll just have to see in a few days. Thanks for the vids 
It’s both the H and the air dash nerf working together, actually. But I think the 
ghetto-ROM still works. like sj.M addf j.H
that would be dope if it did …roms push you to the corner, so id follow that up with gravloops n mash for more damage on templest…
ahhh I see… I replied to the other mags thread with a youtube clip of the combo, but you answered my Q here, sorry for the redundancy
j.M addf jH Rom isn’t worth it. Just use the the standard one but separate the 2nd and 3rd reps with a s.S. No one at NVC2 was doing anything good with Magnus. Everyone seemed to have dropped him.
…exactly – which was quite disappointing to see; I guess the Magnus army just got smaller – but I still have faith >:|
The new Magneto seems to be an entirely different beast than his vanilla incarnation so you can’t really expect everyone to keep him. Magneto doesn’t really seem to fit the niche of a super fast rushdown character anymore and is instead more rounded out and his new moves are going to have to do a lot to make up for what he lost.
Magneto and Zero are the only two characters in this game I actually have character loyalty to so I’m not dropping either in Ultimate.
im still going to rock with mag, i bet 80%of the pople that drop him will be for vergil…though he isnt looking bad
Just saw a stream that had Mags.
Again and again, he’s slowER, but he’s definitely not SLOW. his air dash DB is absolute ass, but for rushdown, that doesn’t really matter, and he still has corner swag. Just need to figure out a proper wall carry BnB (alioune’s?) and I think we’ll be set for top tier again.
That Magneto was absolute ass. He did nothing each match, no actual combos and no usage of his new moves. KBeast used Magneto for a round and actually did some stuff, but his Magneto really isn’t anything special at all.
1:06:30
That downback dash looks pretty awful but you can just fly and plink the backdashing.
This is really the video that has me convinced Magneto will still be top tier.
Thanks for the vid. So it *looks *like mags still has it. His changes will probably just scare off more of the people who chose mags cuz he looked free by the way the top level guys played him in Vanilla. To be fair, dude in the video is pretty good with him, but his competition wasn’t very good either. But the vid definitely gave me hope!
edit: yea dude, his downward back dash is terribad! better off just regular jump backwards lol.
the lesson of the day is…DO NOT USE REPULSION ON AKUMA…lol he will punish that shit
Yup, use Gravitation if you’re expecting it and they might fuck up and miss you =)
Gravitation basically makes it so Magneto is hard as fuck to super jump punish with a diagonal move like Wesker gun or Morrigan fireballs.
His new downback dash is sick! In the old game if you were too low to the ground you couldn’t really get anything off it because it was too fast but now because its so slow you can call an assist, jump over your opponent to cross them up and then downback dash into L for an overhead on the side you started from without having mags change the direction hes facing so it almost looks like marvel 2 style!
I played around a lot with mags at this preview event in london and I think his changes are merely that. Changes. We gotta get used to them but he feels a better and more fun as well. I mean opening up opponents was pretty free in vanilla and his hitconfirms were too good so this makes him a lot fair but they haven’t gimped his rushdown too much IMO.
His biggest loss was not being able to DHC glitch. Everything else you can still work with
How’s the st.L anti-air? Anyone know about that?
LLS is so good and salt-inducing.
L still works the same way – I was still doing it to juggle people when I was at LA Fight Club.
