Ultimate Magneto Combo Thread: It's my BnB, I Never Fuck It Up

its been established that i am the best magus player…

this nigga said some silly shit. He expect us to go hunt down some damn RayRay combos, and we’re all lagging behind because we don’t discuss/upload every single RayRay video for his wacking sessions.:wtf:

it’s been established that **I **am the best Magus, sir. You are nothing. You’re whack bro with those day one flight combos on ya macro. 5,000 Bison Dollars nigga put em up

nigga acts like he hasn’t heard of the search function. just about all of what he’s askin for has already been posted anyway

Hostility aside, you did come off as extremely presumptions with that last quip about everyone else lagging behind. To be honest I can’t remember the last time I saw RayRay do a flight combos. Most of the time he’s doing MBlast loops or what not. If you can find the video then I’d be happy to notate it, but you can’t come in here expecting us to know every variation of every Magneto combo no matter who’s doing them. Magneto has more variations for his combos than any other character in the game by a pretty wide margin, I think, so even with all of us its tough work to keep track of them all. Hell most Magneto players tend to make up combos mid-match, and then never use it again just because that one combo was fit for that situation only. Thats just how the character works

Anyways good luck finding it. If RayRay really does do the combo often enough that we should’ve notated it by now, it really shouldn’t be that hard to find. Spooky uploads his Big Twos to YouTube all the time, so its not like you’re stuck mucking through archives on Twitch. Worst comes to worst you can always just PM RayRay himself. He’s logged in often enough so you shouldn’t have to wait long.

You can’t really expect to close a post with insulting undertones and expect the people you’re talking with to want to help you.

Wtf did I just walk into? Lmao.

I’m using ROM as my main midscreen combo now. I kind of don’t like how finicky Magblast combos are (I just use them in the corner for confirming into ROM) although I still do them from time to time. ROM is more reliable for my corner carrying needs.

RayRay doesn’t use a lot of fly combos :confused:

The one you’re talking about is his TAC ender, where he does a TAC combo into unfly j.H xx L. Disruptor xx Tempest. Before that ender it’s just this:

Instead of going for the LMMH>disruptor, just unfly the last H before that into RayRay’s ender.

How is stating RayRay’s Magnus is on the cutting-edge in terms of maximizing the character even controversial? If that is controversial, please show me the other Magnuses, outside the obvious ones, so I can learn. I truly did not think of that as some insult - maybe tweaking the needle a bit - but I thought this was a well-established fact. If you’re truly upset by that comment you’re just a forum scrub, butt-hurt about the fact that no one knows who the fuck you are.

The thinking goes: if no one’s gone through the process of notating them - not many players outside RayRay are doing the combos, which means most Magnuses (such as myself) are lagging behind Rayray in at least that area (obviously, Kanta proved me wrong there). Maybe had I stated: “Rayray’s one of the few on the cutting edge” as opposed to “Other Magnuses are lagging”, that would have been more tactful - but they’re one-and-the-same and this is a competitive forum. Why the fuck do I need tact in that context? Shit’s obvious: there’s a slim chance some random on the forum has a better Magnus than Ray’s (or Fanatiq’s or Champs or Joker’s). Ray’s setting a standard. Get the fuck over it and just get better. Ignoring this fact and getting mad will keep you on the forums and PSN, brooding in salt.

Good shit, Kanta.

I’m the best magnus.
nah on the real though the best magnus is my sensei DruggedFox.
Ain’t no one else 2-0ing ChrisG like this man.

Who is this DruggedFox you keep speaking of Mayho?

I don’t see any footage of him so I’m just gonna assume its luis.

DruggedFox is Luis Fernando…hands down the best Mag in the business. Though I also like Jokers/RayRay style of Magnus …or should I say Swagnus.

i would also like to know who this drugged fox is :stuck_out_tongue:

Small guide for consistent combos/damage, made by myself. I hope it helps someone here:

Good to see another Magneto/Doom/Vergil player, Q.

There isn’t much footage of him playing since he rarely travels, but I’ll post what I can find.

Vanilla marvel - tourney match against ChrisG

Vanilla marvel - tourney winners finals vs FR RoachKing (multiple top 16 placings at majors)

Vanilla marvel - tourney grand finals vs FR TooMuchDamage (multiple top 16 placings at majors and 9th at evo)
[media=youtube]KNelifn273Y[/media]

Don’t have much match footage of him in ultimate, but here’s his match vs Yipes at FR in teams with his old team. They made 4th place, placing above Jwongs team and the Japanese team.

I gotta get him to hit up some tourneys this fall so we can get more footage.

EDIT - after watching the vanilla vids… FUCK I miss vanilla mags movement.

Didn’t know where to post this so tell me if I have to move it or something. Only useful for Magneto/Zero/Dante players.

1. All Magneto/Zero players should know about the raw tag combo. You hyper grav then just tag in Zero to continue the combo in the corner. These are some setups that guarantee that Zero can continue the combo:

  • j.:l: > cr.:l: > cr.:m: > cr.:h: > :s: > j.:h: xx ADDF j.:h: > j.:h: xx ADDF j.:h: > s.:h: xx :l: hyper grav > hold tag in Zero > s.:m: > :s: …
  • j.:l: > cr.:l: > cr.:m: > cr.:h: > :s: > j.:h: xx ADF j.:h: xx :l: Magnetic Blast > s.:h: xx :l: hyper grav > hold tag in Zero > s.:m: > :s: …
    Anything with less hits will obviously work.

This is a list of all the characters the Magneto/Zero corner raw tag combo doesn’t work with:

Spoiler

Magneto - NO
Dormammu - NO
Doctor Doom - NO

Amaterasu - NO
Captain America - NO
Hulk - NO
Sentinel - NO

Haggar - NO
She-Hulk - NO
Thor - NO

M.O.D.O.K - NO
Dr. Stange - NO
Iron-Man - NO
Storm - NO
Nemesis - NO

Tron Bonne - NO

There’s is still one way to get huge damage with Zero off a corner grab. If you just do raw :l: Hyper Grav after a grab, Zero can combo with s.:l: or cr.:l: instead of s.:m:, making the link easier and making it work against the whole cast (except Sentinel). So notations for this would be:

  • Magneto Grab > :l: Hyper Grav > hold tag Zero > s.:l: > s.:m: > s.:h: > :s: …

2. Found a pretty decent blockstring with Ryuenjin assist. Inputs are: cr.:h: + Zero assist xx Flight Mode xx Deactivate Flight Mode
You recover before the opponent, leaving you free to go for a low/throw mixup. If they pushblock, you can still double dash and go for the same mixup or even tri-dash if you think they aren’t gonna hold up back. This also combos into itself and you can follow up pretty easily.

3. leafcolonel gave me a good idea for a reset with Magneto+Jam Session. Inputs are: (trapped in hyper grav) s.:h: > call Dante > late :m: Repulsion
The opponent is left grounded and trapped between Magneto and Dante if they try to tech anywhere. You can obviously combo off the Jam Session hit. You can go for any mixup (high/low/grab/side switch etc.) because of the long Jam Session active frames. NOTE: don’t press :h; and Dante together, pressed them one after the other.

4. I think I have an easier variation of the Shockwave>LL DHC that can be done even later in Magneto’s combos. I will show it later on.

Just got around to trying these in the first combo, how are you staying in flight so long after 7 ADF Hs?

He’s doing adu H. you can cancel the dash almost immediately if done after an up tac.

gots a question: what’s the timing for the air :l: :m: :m: :h: 236:l: tempest ? i seem to be doing it either too early/late =/

Fixed :stuck_out_tongue:

But yeah. any direction that isn’t forward or down-back has significantly less delay before you can act.
