MVC2

OK Wavedash question:

Is the trick to wavedashing letting the stick go to neutral? I'm practicing it atm with Mag but I sometimes do his air fb instead 

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Have you got your terminology right?

"Wavedashing" can only be done on the ground, and you cancel your dash by crouching. This negates the dash recovery, and allows you to dash again, thus allowing you to move along the ground faster. Its called a wavedash because of the motion you character makes when they dash -> crouch -> dash etc. Up, then down, then up, then down. Like a wave.

Im assuming what youre talking about is tri-jumping, or air dashing. Theres no trick to it really. But particularly for magneto, returning the stick to neutral helps to avoid getting his air fireball.

[Nick4now]

Yeah I meant tri-jumping sorry 

Edit: Fuck I also just found out that Mag is really fun to use. Is Mag/Strider/Doom a bad combination of a team? I really don't wanna drop Strider lol

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Its not great, but it could be a lot worse. Magneto doesnt really give strider anything, and doom isnt that great with magneto.

Mag/Doom isn't bad at all - it was one of the reasonably common pairings around 2004. Justin wong used Mag/Doom for a while. Mag/Cable/Doom wasn't uncommon.

Unmashable tempest is pretty great for a start - launcher, rom, s.HK + Doom assist xx hypergrav xx tempest.

Mag-FUCKING-Neto.

You should learn 5 fierce combo.  Sooo much damage.

Thanks, I'll start practicing that combo. I've started to practice rom and I can get around 7 hits atm before fucking up lol I actually don't like playing with Doom but his assist really is awesome with Strider. I might've considered dropping him if it weren't for Bill's post about having 2 chars and 1 assist slave 

Mag-FUCKING-Neto.

Uhhh how do I do that? lol I'm guessing it involves Airdashing? Sounds like fun  I'm thinking I should just keep learning Mag for MVC3s sake.

Damn I wish this game was a 1 on 1 game with 2 assists. Would've made the learning curve MUCH easier haha

[LN]

triple fierce: launch, HP, addf, HP

five fierce: launch, HP, addf (hold df), HP, mash HK

last hit OTGs

five fierce is my fav mag thing and the only 'advanced' thing i can do with him haha

basically its cr. hp, sj. hp, ad df hp, hk, hk

between the last two hks you should have landed as the last hk is slide.


dammit alan. also four fierce with guile is lols.

Questions about throws. Are throws 0 Frame? Like, say I wanted to begin the round with a hp throw with magneto into whatever combo. Is this a reliable opening? Or will I always get beat out by something? And also is tick throwing anygood?

[samurai black]

throw at the start of a round sounds like a bad idea. at the start of the round, most folks will mashing assist and a normal, which will stuff your attempts.

tick throws are good, just another part of the mixup game.

[LN]

Pretty sure chars are throw invincible for the first few frames in a game. If this wasn't the case, we'd have seen switch trick throw being the #1 strat off the bat.

But yeah, throws are 0 frame. Even so, it's pretty hard to actually throw people in a game as frenetic as mvc2.

This is why tick throws are generally not something to concern yourself with. Do them if the opportunity is there, and its the best thing you can do, but 99% of the time, you have better options.

In other news, STFU Richard you don't even know.

And yea, chars are throw immune at the start of the match.

[samurai black]

pff whatever bill. he's playing mags, so any HP throws he gets should lead into something awesome. most people fighting magneto will be focused on trying not to get clipped by whatever normal into usual magneto bullshit that they forget about the throws and rarely ever tech it.

look for the magnetro tutorial video on mags that came out a few years ago. it covers like everything magneto releated.

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

yea that magnetro vid is godlike. So godlike that i found it for you.
