UMvC3 Magneto Videos: Day minus[-] 3 Combo's

I feel like that the only people who play cap are people who aren’t american. I mean frutsy, condor, and every other person in the U.K. :’(

I managed to do pretty decent in the singles, got top 8, put Tchang into losers and eliminated arguably the best zero in europe (maybe the world :o) but I completely choked in the 5v5 exhibition and lost all my matches :*(. I also got reamed completely by whiteblack so I need to work on trying to overcome solid players because my offense still has too many holes.
In the end, this tournament inspired me to work even harder and step up my execution even more. People tend to crumble so much easier when swagnus is dominating the screen with fucked movement I noticed lol. Shit like raw addf H hits when normally people would block an obvious overhead or know not to press slow buttons lol.

Nice vid. Magneto and Strange have some great synergy in the neutral game as well. I really like them with either Morrigan or Felicia on point.

Going back a bit in time, some of you probably remember this: Fanatiq/Joker/RayRay MM THE SAGA CONTINUES

Anyway, it went down. Matches start at 7:30 if you guys want a look at it.

Spoiler

It came down 9-10 in the end. For obake. Which is bad because at a point I was up 9-5 and I lost 5 in a row thanks to not being able to tech throws properly and being tired at around 00:30am. Either way, I’d appreciate it if some of you went over some mistakes. Believe me, I’ve noticed most of them while rewatching. You never do get a hold of some stuff while playing.

That was alot of unnecessary whiffed air normals against a Dormammu stocked with meter =/

i’ve noticed that you didn’t try wrestling with hulk early game and kept getting either air grabbed or put in blockstun. don’t be afraid to go for the os back dash force field. also whenever you were fighting dorm and he throws out flare, don’t try to beat on the ground unless you have sentinel out in which case you can HSF on reaction to it and beat it out (plus tag his assists and you can figure out what to do from there). another thing i wanna point out is that whenever the point hulk does shoulder tackle forward twice try staying in the air more often.

some points on fighting dorm are whenever he’s zoning with the dark matter into pillar gimmick and you have two bars just shockwave xx hsf and xfactor etc. something obvious that you want to do in this match up here is to snap in dormammu as quickly as possible (dorm mid aint somethin to fuck around with) and get the corner lockdown with missles assist. ummm…oh! something else i noticed about Obake’s hulk is that he tends to jump :s:/:h: while not calling an assist most of the time, which is good for you because you can actually grab him out of that into tod.

i agree with Din0. bait the stalking flare with hidden missiles and snipe whatever he tries to punish you with flame/flare using :l: emd’s

one last piece of “advice” is that on the game that would have gotten you that W was that you rushed an xfactor rom. just be a little more patient next time, you know? do what infrit does and go to character select and relax for a little bit so you can keep your momentum in check and vice versa.

that’s all i got for you bro. your hit confirms were great for the most part so just work on those more. another thing is that i recommend getting some energy drink and a snack to keep you stabilized for those longer sets. i found that out a couple months ago and i’ll never forget to do so again lol

You were toooooooooooo dame scared of Hulk’s standing H.

  • OS FField you did this one match, but failed to convert.

  • tech grab standing L - The standing L will hit before hulk’s standing H becomes active. you can do sL, s.M, c.H into whatever.

  • tech into a snapback - :bluu:

you knew what he was gonna do at the start of the match but failed to adapt. :(:wasted::crybaby:

P.S. Disruptor at close range against Hulk? :bluu: nigga you know that shit don’t work! >:(

Dorm didn’t do shit. Did he even do magic series otg super? Nigga was doing hailmary supers from mid/full screen all day and you were pressing buttons. :shake:

Sent didn’t do shit. I don’t even remember his sentinel doing anything in all 19 games. :rofl:

Real talk, your main problem was you wasn’t adapting, you never got any momentum at the start of the match, and you were respecting him tooooooooo dame much. that’s why he kept getting throws. That dood was hella predictable. like, I was sitting here calling out the shit before it would even happen. And you still got 9 games on him even with all the mistakes.

honestly, I’m so fucking mad right now cause that shit should have been 10 - 4.

I was like, “Yeeeaaaa, Kanta bodied this nigga,”

9 - 6 My nigga Kanta still got this.

9 - 7/8 Yoooo, real talk?

9 - 9 Yooooooo WTF!?

9 - 10…

Nigga make sure you fight his ass again. And put hella stacks down cause I know you won’t make the same mistakes twice. :tup:

Quoted for truth. I swear I had those exact reactions and being that me and him play the same team makes me hella salty. Thankfully he don’t rock the same colors I do or I’d have to punch a hole in my screen (no disrespect Kanta. you know you can do better. To the lab with you brother magnus!)

White Magneto is the fastest, you should know this by now.

Black/Purple Magneto comes second.

Damn was hoping you’d win it…I thought you had it too with that strong lead. You’ll def get him next time.

Thanks guys, yeah i see all the stuff you guys are saying. Re-watching it, I was mad at myself, for real. And yeah, I was scared of Hulk, cause it’s fucking hulk. I forgot half of the shit I practiced against him, when i got put on the spot.

-Got grabbed once for trying this. In retrospect, a ground grab isn’t as bad as an air grab, so I should’ve gone for it more.
-Didn’t know about this, shit.
-Forgot.

About the random button presses full screen, those were fucked dashes.Got j.M for some stupid reason because I’m a fucking retard. Either way, I already told him, we’ll definitely re-match. Till then, I need to get my sentinel and doom up to speed and be more solid with magneto.

Thanks guys.

Just to leave my perspective here, despite all the technical stuff and matchups and tiers and whatever, what I believe won me the match was how calm and I collected I was. Watch every single player cam shot. I’m not flustered, hype, upset, or whatever at any moment. Not even when Kanta got 5 in a row to make it 5-9. Not even when I won. I was entitled to a major popoff (and I got those) right there but was calm enough to hold it back.
Kanta dropped the win because of a mixture of over-confidence, lack of focus and nerves after the 9-5. I’m not sure it was caught on the stream but when I get point 6-9 I dropped the last combo but Kanta had already let go of his stick and was talking to his friends like it didn’t matter. I really enjoyed the match, some of the stuff Kanta pulled of was really sick and it’s a shame (for him) he wasted it all.

PS: I know I played like shit but I haven’t played the game seriously since February really. I was still able to beat Kanta who worked really hard for this tournament and MM for months, so that says a lot of player mentality and keeping cool during high pressure situations.

so in short, that just means there’s going to be a godlike grudge match coming soon? i still got money on my nigga kanta cuz magnus vs hulk is still 9-1 fray fuck what ya heard

it is not free lol

I don’t think either Hulk or Haggar are free at all on point. Theorywise maybe, but in practice, they’re allowed a myriad of mistakes since their health is so high and the second you make any mistake whatsoever, you’re dead.

100% Agreed

Theoretically Magneto can Zone out Haggar/Hulk forever with Blasts Fly Mobility and Disruptor and gravity with assists, but in reality it doesnt work anywhere as close to that. Magneto can simply not ToD any of them with 1 single hit unless you are running Vergil or Zero 2nd, whileas they can kill you off any confirm. And it’s not like it’s easy for Magneto to open them up in comparison to the average character, Lariat and stH simply blow up most of his offensive options and they only need one hit to kill you whileas you have to play a perfect round keeping them out and converting off assist hits and pressure. It’s definitely in Magneto’s favor, but it’s in no way free or 9-1. Health definitely does matter in this game unless you are playing Zero, it matters in terms of stray hits and keepaway hits and chip and whether your team can one touch them, most Magneto point teams are capped at 950k-1.05k for a standard 2 bar confirm too so it’s kind of hard to kill those 2 characters.

Then there is the fact that this is a team game, and if you end up blocking their assists(like drones) you have to eat a mixup yourself too and their assists can neutralize some of your keepaway. And there is the fact that it’s risky to try to punish anything they do because they can use an invincible super and blow you up since you have no invincible reversals(Tempest xx DHC invincibility loss was one of Magneto’s biggest stealth nerfs in this game that noone cared about, the sad fact it would be even more broken with the current guard cancel tech)

Not to mention if you drop a combo you’re gonna eat a pipe/s.H into death.

that tempest nerf lol didnt care much until i started playing more lol
