Magneto combos and resets!

[epyonx]

I have decided to post geronimos combo sheet and i feel it has a good base of magneto combos to add to, plus i will copy and paste someone's post( i don't know who posted this ) on how do to the sj(rom) infinite that you see everyone doing. I feel the infinite is not so hard to do and quite helpful. I hope people can add on to this combo list and even revise it with a new format and all the good combos and resets we can think of!

Why use Magneto:
- Top-tier: It's a dumb reason, but it's still a reason non-the-less
- Rushdown: King of Rushdown, unmatched by anyone else in the game.
- Fun: He's fun to play. "Nuff said.
- Makes you look cool: If you like to seriously fuck other people up, please a crowd, AND look good doin' it all at once, this is the character for you.
- He's a battery: Fits into A LOT of teams to build meter.

Best assist (w/ Magneto, in no real order):
- Psylocke [A] - Anti-Air
- Storm [A] - Projectile
- Iron Man [A] or [B] - Projectile or Anti-Air
- Sentinel [A] or [Y] - Projectile or Ground (respectively)
- Cyclops [B] - Anti-Air
- Cammy [A] - Anti-Air
- Tron [A] or [Y] - Throw or Projectile
- Rogue [Y] - Throw

(Some) Magneto good Teams:
- Magneto [A] | Storm [A] | Psylocke [A] - MSP
- Magneto [A] | Storm [A] | Cyclops [B] - MSC
- Magneto [A] | Storm [A] | Sentinel [Y] - Team ShadyK (New)
- Magneto [A] | Storm [A] | Rogue [Y]
- Magneto [A] | Storm [A] | Tron [Y] - Team AK
- Magneto [A] | Sentinel [Y] | Psylocke [A] - Team ShadyK (Old)/San Diego
- Magneto [A] | Sentinel [Y] | Cyclops [B] - Team Xecutioner
- Magneto [A] | Cable [B] | Cyclops [B]
- Magneto [A] | Cable [B] | Sentinel [A] - Team Rowtron
- Magneto [A] | Cable [B] | Psylocke [A] - Team Soo

Stuff you HAVE to know to play Magneto Effectively:
- Tri-Jump
* Super-Jump, sj.hk_hp, air-dash down-forward, ad.hk_hp
* Super-Jump, air-dash down-forward, ad.hk_hp
* Super-Jump_Jump, air-dash down-forward, ad.lk
- Wave-Dash
* DF+2P xN = Forward
* DB+2P xN = Backward
- Tri-Jump combo set-up
* (see "Combos" section: I-1)
- Air-dash
* (In air) Any Direction+2P; Knowing when, where, and why to do it.
- Throwing
* (Both air and ground) F+HP; F+HK
- Which combos to use and when.
* (See "combos" section) Use Magnetic Shockwave combos to get opp. into corner. Use Magnetic Tempest combos (preferably un-mashable Tempest) for damage.

Stuff it would be nice for you to know, that still helps Magneto:
- Combing into the c.lk->c.hk XX Hyper-Grav...
* (See "Combos" section: A-7 and A-8)
- Dash-in into throw
* dash-in, TAP down->Throw

Good match-ups for Magneto:
- Cable (w/o AAA)
- Blackheart
- Dr. Doom

Bad match-ups for Magneto:
- Spiral
- Cable (w/ AAA)
- Strider/Doom

50/50 match-ups for Magneto:
- (Another Magneto)
- Sentinel
- Storm
- Iron Man

General tips:
- Throw A LOT. Air or ground it doesn't matter. Use either one, they both have their purposes.
*How do they reset combos you ask? They reset the combo counter.
* Why reset combos you ask? To know understand this, you must first understand damage-scaling. Damage scaling is the damage of each hit of a combo lower as the combo counter increases. Resetting the combo counter also resets the damage done by each hit. Each hit (no matter what strength button the move is done with) becomes 1 pt. of damage around hit number 12 or 15 on the combo counter.
** HP Throw - Reset combos; (Throw in air)->Magnetic Tempest XX DHC is safe/guarunteed tag-out and free damage.
** HK Throw - Reset combos; "Should I roll" mind-games.
- NEVER do a Magnetic Shockwave when you have the opponent in the corner, it's a waste of super meter. (They're in the "Combos" section for the sake of completeness.)
- The corner is Magneto's best friend. Being in a corner makes rushdown hard to block. And the corner's where Magneto does all his really fucked up [reset] combos. Get the opponent there any way possible, Magnetic Shockwave combos, throwing, forcing them to retreat, etc.
- Use Hyper-Grav XX Magnetic Tempest combos sparingly, if at all. They are escapable.
- Mix-up your reset combos. They ARE escapable. If you become predictable, they're gonna be escaped.
- Tri-jumping either makes or brakes a Magneto. Doing right will get you several combos in each match. Doing blindly will get you killed. You should only tri-jump in 3 situations:
* 1.) The opponent is in block-stun and can't do anything (most importantly, call an assist.)
* 2.) The opponent's assist is already out (and preferably punished by yours).
* 3.) It's in a reset combo and really fast.
- The way your hand is layed out over the buttons can effect the way how well some Magnetos play. Personally, I use the pointer finger on LP, the middle finger on HP, my thumb on LK, and my ring finger on A1. The other two buttons (HK and A2) I usually move my hand and depends on what I'm trying to do. This finger lay-out makes using Magneto a little easier (well, for me at least). It also makes the sj. inf. (see "Combos" sections: Inf.-1a. and 2a.) easier. One your way up do the sj.lk->sj.mk with your thumb. Then do a short pause. After that hit the dash, and down on the stick, with your pointer and middle finger. And since you don't have to move your whole hand to press lk again, hit it with your thumb RIGHT AFTER you dash, while still holding down on the stick. Press ad.mk a bit slowly land, then repeat. Oh look, you can now do Magneto's sj. inf.

SJ INFINITE (ALSO KNOWN AS THE ROM INFINITE)

with this inf THE MOST IMPORTANT PART is the dash down/forward lk lk ....this is the MEAT of this inf whateva u do b4 it does not matter (1 lk, 2 lks, 1 lp , 2 lps, lp lk mp, ..u get tha point)

Now ....to explain THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.....

The "TRICK" to this inf is to dash down/forward lk lk land ...but u often find your self missing them with the lk ...because your ass is too slow....however there is a trick to getting this to come out fast enough to catch them...which i will now explain.

There are 2 techniques that u use to pull this off

1) the "SLIDE"
2) the "THUMB"

OK..this is the inf we are attempting .. sj. lk ,lk dash down/forward lk, lk , land

After u set them up (launch Fk dash down/forward , lk, lk) this puts them at the perfect height to start the inf.

Now.. manual Sj. lk lk- after this there is a pause because in order to connect THE MOST IMPORTANT PART u have to be up higher than your opponent- dash down /forward lk lk land.

*You basically do the lk's on your way up then wait for magz to float up a little after your last hit then you do THE MOST IMPOTANT PART*

The SLIDE- You perfrom this by using you INDEX and MIDDLE fingers to dash down/forward then "slide" them down to the lk.

The THUMB- put your INDEX and MIDDLE fingers on the two punches and your THUMB on the lk ...then proceed to ROLL your hand from the 2 punches to the lk.

These techniques allow you to dash down/forward with UMBEELEEBABBLE speed ....

however with this speed..u will most likely dash down/forward too fast after the sj. lk lk --THIS IS WHERE THE PAUSE COMES IN-- to compensate for the speed of these 2 techniques.

So this is what we got....

Superjump Lk , Lk , lets magz float a lil above the opponent, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART (executed by the SLIDE OR THUMB methods), land. (repeat)

Last but not least..i learned this inf by myself and the way i did was by:

1) learning the SLIDE technique
2) Getting a video and listening to the RHYTHM of the hits in the inf.

I'm sure u have seen many variations of this inf..but there is one part that always stays the same ...and thats THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. Like i said ..u can do n e thing b4, its THE MOST IMPORTANT PART that matters.

EDIT: *ways u can go wrong*

1) performing THE MOST IMPORTANT PART too slow..result is it wont combo

2) Performing THE MOST IMPORTANT PART too fast ...result is that magz dashes down and whiffs the lk ....totally missing the opponent... (this is a good setup for a throw in the corner btw)

3) Doing the inf perfectly, however the opponent is getting a lil too high up...result is u wont be able to combo it n e more after a while.

- A solution to this problem is reducing the hits b4 THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ...for example .... do only 1 hit..whether it be a lp or a lk.

OR

- if you are near the corner u can go for a SJ. lk, lk dash straight forward throw...into the inf again.

[Wildcat]

Bwahaha.... sure, I've said all this good stuff already in the other thread, but why not repeat it in here where more people might add to it.


Mags - A / Sentinel - Y / Tron - Y
---
c.lk, c.hp + tron, sj.hp ad d/f, ad.lk, land, hp throw immediately after landing, dash in, s.lk + tron XX Tempest

or

c.lk, c.hp + tron, sj.hp ad d/f, ad.lk, land, hp throw immediately after landing, dash in, c.lk, c.hp + tron, sj.hp, ad d/f, ad.hp

both are very damaging, us the 2nd one if they don't mash out or don't even try


---

c.lk, c.hp, sj.hk, ad.d/f, ad.lk, ad.mk, land, call either assist, dash to otherside + c.lk XX tempest

nearly 100% combo with either assist, i like using tron more just for the laugh, thanks eKiN for this one :D

---

Magneto/Tron Throw Combo

magneto hp throw, tag in tron, dash forward, juggling s.lk + sentinel XX lunchrush


this is the only way to connect a lunchrush off a tagin with this team, normally LR doesn't connect because they land right before the bots hit, so they recover midway or roll out and can block or punish, the drones seem to juggle a bit and add about 10 points of damage to a normal lunchrush super

lunchrush connects by itself off of a s.lk in the corner though, this is more midscreen than anything


thanks, Mags/Sent/Tron is all about resets and throws!

[epyonx]

Thank you for posting wildcat! I will see wats in the thread and put it in my data to make the definitive magneto combo sheet which might be published here. PLEASE no spam and useless jargon, just combos and resets so we can have a reference for magneto combos. I plan to make a page for storm too just for combos and resets and i got a few sick ones.

ALso i will try to see wat vid has these combos to let peeps know how they look and the timing etc. ok laters :)

[Jakuda]

Some important stuff to note:

Magneto guardbreaks:

1) sj lk, infinite. Timing depends on when you sj, if they pushblocked, and size.

2) a gb/mixup. the old sj 1234, hypergrav, tempest. you can also cross to the otherside for a mental crossup.

Magneto corner stuff:

Many times it's worth Magneto's time and super meter to instead of resetting a corner infinite/combo and messing up or having them block is to just snap out the point, and thus achieving a gf/crossup option. AND magneto would much rather fight the 3rd char than storm/sentinel/or another magneto.

Kill the assist: This is easiest with psylocke. People get assist happy versus magneto. So happily wait, have psylocke hit (either if you successfully baited out an assist or caught then when their own assist missed) and dash and launch-kill the assist.

The key to having a good magneto is to learn WHEN to attack. Super aggressive magneto loses.

[epyonx]

magnetos best friend besides pyslokce is the corner so when u are done killing a character dead infinite them into the corner, i usaully use c. lk to do that and sets up more combos AND GB when they come in and get rush to get rushed down and always try to snapback commandos, makes my life easier :)

[epyonx]

lets post all the possibites after c hp sj hk ad df d+lk lk land
reset and combos!

I am using a easier to read format

c hp sj hk ad df d+lk lk land #

1. sj infinite
2. normal jump infinite
3. pause, re-jump and grab
4. sj ad df HK (reset) you end up attacking on the other side
5. doing the lks slowly will allow you to relaunch c. HP ->air combo
6. s. hk xx magnetic shockwave
7. s. hk xx hyper grav xx magnetic tempest
8. dash under ( reset)
9. sj ad df really fast so u end up in front of then and do the infinite going down part ( this is done in the top players magneto exhibiton)
10. with psy A assist ( j . lk call psy j. lk OR j . hp psy hits magnetic tempest) This is unmashable! @ note u can sub psylocke for ironman B assist
@ note: when dashing under (8) u can call the assist and then dash under to cross them up, also u can just dash under c. lk c. lk and call assist to continue the combos.
11. walk foward reset!
12. dash under and then trijump or GRAB reset!
13. walk under then throw
14. more to come BUT thats alot to work on

next information is after the c. Hp chain and excluding the thing on TOP.

COMBO NEEDS TESTING
i don't know if this been done before.

This is for anyone that has a DC or has it on a console. I need someone to test this combo out and tell me what happens.

mag combo

c.lk c.fp sj rhk dash df lk mk land and launch again then repeat from sj.

this combo i suggested to my friend when i saw him tryin another one out. its possible to connect the second launch so that the counter doesn't reset. the problem was he kept getting confuse or whatever and kept messing up. somebody see if you can keep repeatin it or do you have to do it in a corner.

[epyonx]

no
after u do the 2 kicks down very slowly to launch next heavy hit will send em into the flying screen if u continue the combo
why go into the launcher I posted like at least 10 resets man ask more question and i will answer if i can

[FOBio]

i'm having problems with timing... after i dash down, what's the timing with the ad. df lk, mk if i wanted to throw? also, i'm not able to dash over and relaunch. i dash, and then do a c. fp but i'm facing the other way. can you help?

[De4dEyE]

Ehh.. Yeah I'm having a bit of a problem. When I launch, do a small air combo, then try to fp throw, for some reason I can't get it... all that happens is the normal sj. fp attack.. how long am I supposed to delay the attack to make it a throw?

[GeekBoy]

It's not just delay, they have to be at a higher height than you. Do Launch, sj.LP, sj.LK, sj.LP, after the sj.LK, wait a sec then do sj.LP, the opponent will be slightly higher, and they'll "fall" into the throw.

[Power Man Fox]

Anyone: Yeah I was wondering if you grab someone with magnetos Fierce punch then did hyper grav tempest can they still mash out of it. Is it harder?

[Fatale]

i take it you mean you are still facing the same side before the dash as after. well, just tap dash a little further than what you are doing then.

no one falls for that cross up anymore.

Flashy combo;

VS Big opponent ie Sent:

cr.HP, sj.RH, ad-df LK, RH, sj.rh, ad-df LK ... Does major Damage and has a simple setup.

[matrix11590]

ok thanx

[totalScrubPower]

actually the reset I do the most is.

Cr. Short, Cr. Fierce, Sj Short, air dash down-forward, dash under, jumping short, forward, Em Disruptor.

or in the corner, Cr. fierce, Sj jab, short, air dash down-forward, pause, tri-jump with roundhouse.

I concur

[GeekBoy]

Here's a reset I came up with this morning. Deus, you might like this, if you can understand it that is.

c.LK+Psy, c.LK, otg c.LK, c.RH, sj infinite (2 hits going up), sj.LK, dash D+LK (whiff this), walk behind, RH throw (hold down), sj crossup LK, (don't hit), c.LK+Psy, c.LK...follow up.

Unfortunately, it is rollable, but you have to roll the second you hit the ground, so you have a bigger chance hitting this sometimes. You can sub the FP throw if you want.

For that first otg, you are aware you can juggle that right? And for that very last part, right after the RH throw, it is best to manually jump and dash forward while calling Psylocke AAA. Also, for the "sj.LK, dash D+LK (whiff this)" part, I like doing sj. jab because I like how it positions them. The dash down under part is amazingly effective if you keep the opponent close to the ground, the throw is almost instant and it tightens the gap so that it is more difficult for them to hit you on their way down.

[YieArKungFu]

He's some I got from my new team of Magnus(proj)/Storm(proj)/Sent(ground)

Mag/Storm/Sent-
c.Hp, sj.HK, ad-df, sj.LK, sj.LK, land, call sent assist, jump, HKgrab(make sure you throw foward), ASAP tempest DHC to Hailstorm

Mag/Sent/Storm-
c.HP, sj.HK, ad-df, sj.LK, sj.LK, land, call storm assist, jump, HPthrow, ASAP tempest DHC to HyperSentinalForce, s.HP, HPRocketPunch, HSF DHC to hailstorm

these are so obvious I can't believe I didn't figure them out earlier...

[Dr. Elephan]

This isn't a reset, but it is an amazing combo, and it's guaranteed to work . . .

My team: Magneto, someone else, someone else

step one: pick characters (magneto must be picked for this to work; Sentinel and Cable are good second and third characters to pick as well . . ., as they can help in the combo)
step two: put magneto first in the character line up
step three:match begins
step four: This is the important part. Tag in Bry
step five: win match, congratulate your opponent on his efforts, shake hands, and play the next victim.

Thanks, I hope this helped . . .

These combos are cool :).

[50mOrEcEnTz]

when you grab your opponent in the air with the RH grab, you can connect an em-disruptor pretty much all the time...but sometimes i can DHC after the disruptor and sometimes i can't....i've tried throwing of a super jump and a regular jump...it doesn't seem to make a difference...any explaination as to when you can DHC after the disruptor?

after the tempest you are on the ground
smart guy
the other combos are pretty basic, but very useful in real matches

[Naslectronical]

Um, how are you on the ground after the Tempest?

:confused:

Perhaps you should read my post a little more carefully.

You SUPERJUMP CANCEL the s. hk then you do Hypergrav XX Magnetic Tempest, so you're in the air.

=\

[Naslectronical]

Yeah, it's extremely hard to do. I can only hit it about 1 out of every 8 times.

It's just for show, it really isn't worth the effort. It's better just to:

land, call Psy, sj. lk, Tempest, air dash down to forward, lk, lk

and continue the infinite from there.

I know that...but im saying like...lets take an easy combo...launch, rh, ad/df, rh grab, em-disruptor xx tempest DHC to something fairly instant (hail, pc, hsf, etc) and it doesn't work.

Then try launch, rh grab, em-disruptor xx tempest DHC to something fairly instant and it will work..most of the time.

i'll work with it some more...but about tryin out normal jumping and super jumping...u know how crazy MvC2 is and all its little...umm....weird-comings and mishappenings...just had to try it out to see if there was sumtin weird with it.

[Power Man Fox]

50: yeah sorry for the late response.
Umm I have no idea how you do what your talking I must have tried it at least 30 times no matter what I did I couldnt cancel the em-disrupter. The is my magneto every time launch combo blah blah blah Rh grab emdisrupter only near the corner is when it would hit then I did tempest by the time it came out the other guy is on the floor saying something like yay this guy is wasting meter. so um sorry I couldnt help.

[Y2J_Joe]

Here is one Ive been doing lately,

Mag+Cyc-b, Near the corner, cr.lk+cyc aaa,cr.lk, dash, sj. rh (you should be hitting him from behind) ad.lk,lk land sj.lk,sj.lk, ad.lk,lk, repeat Inf til you get in the corner. land,Hk Throw,cr.lk, cr.rh, Super Jump Rh,Hk Throw,cr.lk+cyc-aaa,cr.rh, super jump, Magnetic Tempest. You gotta get the tempest to hit as soon as the beam from cyclops is hitting, this combo is 100% from an average character(i.e. Cable).

[[--yeah--]]

simple reset combos:

-launch, sj.fk XX a/d d/f, lk, lk, land, jump up (fk) throw, down...

a) if they roll, air dash towards them, call psy AAA as they stand and try and cross them up.

b)if they dont roll, wait till they stand then air dash over them while calling in psy AAA and try and cross them up.

-launch, sj.fk XX a/d d/f, lk, lk, land, call in sent ground, dash under, s.lk, s.fp into assist...

a) XX tempest

b) XX TK tempest

c) jump up (Fk) throw, a/d d/f fk(otg), land, c.fk XX tempest

d) dash under and launch from behind...

-launch, sj.fk XX a/d d/f, lk, lk, land, jump XX a/d forward (over opponents head) call in tron throw, land, dash back, dash back, tempest.

I agree.

I don't think the game allows you to cancel normals into specials into supers from a regular jump.

I tried doing reg-jump hk, into cannon drill xx lock on, and it doesn't work. It only works when I do sj.hk.

...have you tried this? first off, you can HARDLY frame kill into a super off the roundhouse throw, you could off the fp throw though. BUT, if you just frame kill super off the fp throw especially, but even if you frame kill super off the rh throw it is going to take off WAYYYY less than em-disruptor, tempest to a DHC

::slaps himself:: ......i was thinking FP throw...my bad.

and i know it does less, buts its more likely to hit.

...looks like i cant help you on this one (for now)

[Jawbreaker]

maybe some peeps can come up wit some kind of ending of this combo i was messin wit...

MAGS (a) & PSY (a) = PSY assist hits, d+lk, d+hk, xx sj HK, ad/df lk, lk...

is there a way i could reset this combo? ive tried the j lk, lk, PSY assist, PSY doesnt come out! maybe someone could enlighten me, because i like this lil combo, and i would love to put some new stuff in my arsenal!

first off psy doesnt come wen u do j.lk j.lk cuz u already used her...rule is 1 assist can hit per combo

obivious resets for that combo is after u do that part listed...

1)dash under launch
2)dash under lk+psy lk....blah blah..
3) c.fk trijump fk c.fk sj. cancel... infinite

you can also do

-sj.lk aidash under lk lk rejmp lk+psy lk tempest
- or tha jose garcia reset...sj.lk airdash under lk land dash back to tha otha side relaunch

[dominator]

In the Psylocke assist combo (c.lk, c.hk), when super jumping after the c.hk do I have use a hk to set up infinite or can I just do the short kicks?

[50mOrEcEnTz]

launch, rh, ad/df, lk lk, dash to the other side then tri-jump crossover (so you'll end up on the initial side you WERE on) rh, into whatever...

is that practical or does it leave the enemy too much dead time?

Thats a very good reset because if your sj airdash rh to get to the other side it actually crosses over sf2 style..u know what i mean..If you do that really fast then its mad good.

Also, after launch, triple fierce combo, slide(flying screen) then sj ad rk(crosses over) and do the triple fierce combo again.

Oh and i dunno wtf the deal is with that throw crap, i'll mess around with it.

Btw launch 1234XXem disruptorXXtempestXXhail is too hot ;p
