Must knows for CapCom players...

[jimmarino]

Got anything? I just started using him. I traded him in for storm since I can't do anything I could at the arcade so I'm stuck playing it on DC.

Any air combos, strats would be very useful. thanks :looney:

[Radiant93]

errr? traded for storm? what do you mean by that? as an assist dude? hell storm+CC is a good team.

s.hk. -> corridorXXCaptain Sword.. or just do the corridorXXCaptain Sword thing.

well, indeed this is a Capcom thread. When falling from a sj. try to do hk. does wonders sometimes.

[Tigerboi]

J hp has alot of priority, abuse it.

HK throw does crazy damage when mashed.

Hoovar has no uses that I've seen.

Sent drones is a great assist for him.

I've seen players use Jennety to groud break.

Sho is IMO the best commando strike.

[tindiamond]

c.lk c.fp super with the kicks, don't know what its called. When I play commando alone, I use that ninja, flying mummie for chip and sometimes the baby on the rocket.

[Tigerboi]

oh yeah, and the mummy is a good gaurd breaker.

crouching fk--->capt corridor----->captain storm in the corner connects if they dont roll and you do it fast. As in while theyre bouncing from the impact of the corridor.

they actually dont have to be in the corner, just the side of the screen.

If he is your last character.

Jump back fierces ALL DAY.

You can (attempt) to tick throw him too with cr.lk into his Kick throw (which glitches out if you mast helluh)

Uh, if they try to rush you, say with Magneto or Sentinel...Ninja (qcf+lk) Commando and Mummy Command (qcf+HK) are really good. Uh, Baby commando (qcf+ lk+hp) if timed right stuffs Hail Storm.

Wave Dash mix up helps too so you can hit confirm cr.lk, cr.hp xx Captain Storm (qcf x's 2 with kicks)

A lot of people turtle when it's 1 on 1. so jump in fierces help a lot too cause sometimes you can make it act as an over head.

[Dasrik]

Jump forward fierce sometimes to mix it up.

I'm being sarcastic. Kind of. ^_^

I'd actually say that captain fire is a much option in that situation.

No, it's not. If they block Captain Fire you probably just died.

j.lp is his best move for air to air combat, so if you feel somebody is going to try jump you, you can try to j.lp, dash under for combo. jump back fp all day really onlly works if you have an assist. i mean really...if all you have is capcom left and they have 2 characters left....i wud juss watch u, maybe throw fireballs or something xD

the rub with capcom is that he CAN comeback sometimes, it just requires KNOWING what the opponent is going to do...lets face it, you need to land capcom blast to the sword to comeback lol. sometimes the only way to do that vs a halfway good opponent is to leave yourself completely vunerable and then cancel to the sword of doom.

other decent tactics against decent players are using the different versions of captain fire xx captain sword. the fp version combos and does GREAT damage BUT is rollable actually on reaction, but your eyes have to be trained for the combo really...if they haven't seen it done a lot they wont notice or think about rolling. after you have the opponent thinking about that combo, you can get the lp fire xx sword out which resets cuz it doesn't knock them on their back and can be blocked xD very ghetto but i mean...haha, what are you supposed to do, you ahve CAPCOM =_=

sometimes if i can get them to block a close s.lp, i either go for rh throw (which everybody is looking to break for some odd reason), or c.rh. the c.rh is for the people looking to break this throw with a passion. after the c.rh dont automatically pound the ground, wait to see if they rolled, if they didn't then do it, but c.rh autopound = death if rolled.

hope this helped =_=

[Tigerboi]

No, it's not. If they block Captain Fire you probably just died.

I can see that. But I never use the baby becuase I found it horribly unsafe. I mean, it's been a while since I used it, however...

[shoultzula]

The one great thing about the baby is that once it explodes, mando can instantly block. Unlike his other ninjas. If the qcf+lk or qcf+rh ninja get taken out of the air, mando is still in recovery frames but not for the baby.

It makes for a great relayer tool because most assist will stop the baby allowing mando to follow up that projectile. However, if your opponent is smart enough to simply move around the baby, that tactic becomes useless but it does come in handy @ times. Mando needs every tactic available to him.

[StuartHayden]

Assist 2 is the best color.

i find doing

c.lk, c.mk, c.hp, captain fire, captain sword

more reliable then using captain corridor because if u dont do it fast enough the corridor will launch them too high and when u do captain sword u will only add on like 3 points of damage lol.

i think its rollable, but i still use this if i get in a clean hit on the ground

The damage is good but this is definately rollable. It probably won't work more than once against anyone who knows what they're doing.

To get full hits out of captain sword after a corridor, cancel the corridor as late as possible. Maybe it's just a psychological thing but I find that this helps.

[Augmint]

One thing he can do is Hk throw *backwards* onto drones when he's in the corner (don't mash the Hk throw) drones hit and push them into the corner again where you can do hp, hk into super or aircombo.

Good to use sometimes instead of a guard break - do Mummy, move close, Call drones and grab.

[otter]

you can do captain firexxcaptain sword and DHC after you get the full damage

[Mixah]

Queso!!!

his s.hp beats out a lot of meter building strats..

dont' do his spin kick, as it's almost entirely useless unless you're just doing it to look flashy....

c.hp xx cap storm
c.hp xx qcf+lk is godlike. every combo, whether you hit or not should end with that.. it's a really good way to keep him safe... they block a launcher? just do qcf+lk.

[Deth-Scyanyde]

Captain Kick can be used for a quick cross-up attempt when using assists such as drones.

Only use the sweep when you 'condition' the opponent to block high OFTEN.

Jabs to tick the RK throw when close...mix it up with block strings into Sho for good chip/pushback.

Never do Captain Fire without some sort ov cover for even if it's blocked you'll surely die.

CapCom strat vs Sent HSF: c.FP through the first set ov drones,Corridor thru the second set, then Captain Storm thru the third before Sent has enough time to recover...iirc...

CapCom infinite against sent (not as easy as it looks, trust me!!):
<nj.RK, land, nj.LK, nj.LP, nj.RK, land, repeat>
The timing on the three hits must be spaced so that by the time you hit the apex ov your jump you're coming down with j.RK at about Sent's neck level. Any higher and you won't cause enough hitstun for the next set ov hits to combo afterward. This infinite isn't very practical but if you're able to master it it makes your j.FP/RK attempts on a standing Sent a threat.

[beatsofdevil]

he is fucking invincible during qcb+p...ugh!

the worst one was when the explosion ended, but he still had his arm in the ground, psylocke went straight through...no hit at all. That was the most ridiculous (out of the many other ridiculous displays of his invinicibility)

with drones backing him up, he is a force to be reckoned with. even 1 on 1, he has a lot of tools...

[judge_rl]

yeh, i've noticed a little trend of some santhrax players bringing out capcom on point just to take advantage of those afore-mentioned tools. in some situations, this is not a bad idea

IIRC, psy assist misses because capcom is too low to the ground, not because of 'invincibility'.

a crouching strider also dodges psy for the same reason. he's a small sprite.

[J360]

hes not invincible, instead of short do something like c.rh with mags, it will prevent it from starting, ive even seen c.lk beat it on startup several times.

[Mixup]

time that shit 2 counter his corridor

pretty funny when ur fighting vs magneto and he just dashin in clk vs capcom assist

[Augmint]

EVO East GF set 1 - Justin misses unblockable on commando - commando lands - Sanford hits the Rocket punch follow up with qcb + P ...super DHC to Hail
