I am reposting from reddit but here is Fanatiq explaining why he doesn't like Magnetic Blast and how some of his Magneto + drones corner lockdown works.

This was great, in particular check out the super jump hit confirm he explains. I've only put like 30 minutes into it so I don't have it down perfect but it's excellent information for Magnus players.

Edit: also on that subreddit is this amazing combo video:

Prolly old news on these boards by now, but here's a lovely camera phone vid of ChrisG being introduced to MODOK's playstyle by Dire at BigTwo. It sounds like someone lets a rabid howler monkey into the room at about thirty seconds in, and he totally avoids Morrigan's bullet hell.

I'm an incurable half-assed MODOK user, so matches like these are like little rays of magic sunshine for me.

Seriously, it sucks that we can't even get more than half a dozen people for Xbox even though we had a good turn out the first week of these so it's not like there's a shortage of players. Anyway, in case you need it in the future I run Spencer/Morrigan/Doom.

I run Wolverine/Sentinel/Deadpool. I won a single game against RageBeef.

RageBeef if Spencer/Morrigan/Doom is your real team you should think about either the way you play Spencer or switching it up a little bit. Spencer's call assist + zip across the screen and overhead thing isn't as good with missiles as it is with a beam. If I weren't terrible I would've been airthrowing you a lot. Even still, I managed to catch Doom with Berserker Barrage a few times cuz he is super vulnerable when you call him and zip across the screen.

Haven't played since release (got distracted with IRL work stuff) so coming back the game is so changed.
Last time I played, my day 1 Ghost Rider/Sentinal/Hawkeye basic zoning team could do ok. Jumped online recently, morridoom players everywhere, zero-may-cry teams everywhere. I got smashed up. I liked it better when everyone was playing Wesker...

You know whats sad? I said to myself "It literally cannot be this easy." I thought there was no way the teams were easy just because. They were. I am now zero-may-cry. I feel like a horrible person :negative:


P.S. actually hitting the combos is fun though.

Yeah, I actually like the dynamic and being able to convert off anything with that team, but I am extremely lazy with combos. Anything above "ABCS BBCS otg assist ABBS super" of some sort I'm not interested. I think I managed to hit 2 reps of lightning loop once in training once, but I'd never be able to do it in a real match.

Might have to go back to basics with Wolvie/Sent/Akuma or Hulk/Sent/Wesker...

It occurred to me last night that I need to play sets with people instead of 1-off games like ranked. I'm gonna start finding lobbies/player matches but if anyone on here wants to play some sets I am game.

I realized that playing a single game makes me tend to do really stupid poo poo just hoping it will work since I can get away with it sometimes on randoms and bad players. I'm hoping that playing the same player for a while will force me to do some smarter stuff since the other player should learn my bullcrap and punish me for it.

Congrats. I like to hold the joystick using only my thumb and forefinger with my thumb at 5 o'clock and my forefinger at 11 o'clock but do whatever works best for you.
