Im just pointing out the irony of people talking about a character they dont play but acting as an authority
Spiral/Cable/Doom is a strong zoning team in a rushdown game, I’m only just getting back into it but from what I’ve seen, it’s all rushdown and Cable can’t keep them out.
I feel you on that, the funny thing to me is that in online play people will send you hate mail over mags and storm but not over Cable who can destroy an entire team if you don’t stay on him, I still fear that guard break shot to this day lol

“HEY I’M BLUE LIKE CABLE SO I KNOW WHAT’S UP.”
Dude… just no. That’s a retarded team with horrible defense. Probably can only break top 20, if that, just because Cable is on the team.
Actually he has arguably the best guard break in the game, especially at high level play. You absolutely cannot “hit him out of it” (unless you’re Cable lol so that makes him even better) and against Sentinel the guard break can lead to 100% regardless of push blocking, eating the hit, etc. as long as you have enough meters.
Doom rocks does not help spiral much at all, it doesnt help the lockdown, only covers the front and gets blownup by trijumps. I’d definetly say BH is a better choice than Doom in this section… but sentinel is the best overall choice.
It was popular back in the day
get rid of spiral and put in the robot :tup:
And everyone sucked horribly back in the day.
I play Gief/Colossus/Cable 
Heraderpasmash + late game lame out
You play on xbox live? I think I need to show you a few things about today’s metagame…
Theory fighter is amazing.
PSN in Australia lol, feel free to PM me or post here though
i can’t answer why cable isn’t used any more …but for me it’s a nutshell that he is 2 depending on meter … reaction …and assists …
2 depend on meter is really bad cause if you start as cable they will try to rush u down at nearly no risk at all lk mk hk ahvb … or just ahvb … ok eat it lose 60 maybe a bit more rush in again get rid of cable or get rid of captain comando …
2 depend on assist hurts even more cause loosing your assist via snapback is like a the worst thing that can happen 2 you …
and 2 depend on reaction is quite commen you would say but cable is a run away char for most of the games and than you don’t have good hit confirms like magneto sent or storm … you need sollid pushblock and see them making unsafe stuff and still be fast on your reactions …
on the other side if you are fast on your reactions and you have like 2 or 3 meters and you get them calling an assist your most likely gone win the round …
…
cable has no mobility compared 2 mag storm and sent … has no deadly combos just using 1 meter no assist outside the corner i could think of and his normal meter building is worse than mags or storms or sent s …
and every missed hyper viper will nearly always cost you the round and i mean missed not blocked but if its the ground version … jep than even blocked …even if you tag out it will always cost you a lot …
i think thats why cable isn’t used that often any more …
and of course cable is like sagat in vanilla people don’t like to play him or against him or 2 watch him nothing fancy in doing ahvb … rom is a eyes pleaser
cable has decent mobility, his wavedash is fast. just compared to the other top 4 he’s slow in comparison
Dude level up your game almost everything you said is all wrong.
To resaid what I said before, in the meta of mvc2 ( or whats left ) most players left dont play cable or if they do its never on point for some reason. And no spiral/cable/doom is not good it fucken sucks, at least go spiral/cable/sent…
Sent from my GAMEBOY using POKEMON
i run cable on point against everyone but magneto
I guess storm and Sentinel is doable but yes I agree magneto can be a problem.
cable can shoot storm down pretty well, and down jab trades with storms cr.lk and stops her from jumping. IIRC his jumping jab also stops sentinels overhead
