Infinite

[opticallyinviz]

So I just picked up IM today and i can't get his infinite going well. They keep hitting the ground, so I was wondering if there's any tutorials about doing it or if anyone can give me a little advice?

thanks for anyone who can help

[majeh]

you have to time it right. you start the infinite anyway you want, psy assist whatever, then you jump lp lp without a pause and then as soon as you start to fall press lk up forward hp. make sure you have that pause because if you try to press the buttons with no pause then the opponent will not be kept at an even height.

ya i cant get the timeing down for shit i mean i get onliy 2 reps and thats it i get so pissed:mad: i tried so many times it dos not work for me

[majeh]

you have to make sure you have that little pause if you don't get it they will fall. go to practice mode and practice a lot to get it down. it took me only and hour to get it down.

[mr.z]

thanks man ya im geting it down ok but still i need more pratice and i just cleaned my game today after all the scraths that were on it and thanks agian!:)

[mr.z]

thanks im getting it down well my highest is about 30 hits and im just wondering everytime i do it in the coner it like fucks up and is there any speacial way to do it or what?

[-BF-]

I just do, j.lp, j.lp, slight pause, j.lk, j.u+fp. repeat until corner, s.hp XX proton cannon. Just practice a little and you'll get it. Luckily it only took me 20 minutes to learn it from the first time I heard about it, about 2 years ago.

[mr.z]

ya thanks i started doing that too well i fuck up on the proton cannon sometimes now im working on this one combo its lk hk sj.f-hp dash down at an angle lk lk u-hp in to the infiente its hard i seen it done on commys vids im getting it down though

[animal]

Just a quick inf question

Most of the time that I get a few reps going the computer is able to block out of it before the lk hits. I assume I am pausing it too long between the mp and lk?

[ComboMasher]

animal- You just gotta do it fast and with a rythm, dont do it too fast or else you will mess up. If the person is getting to low switch to: lk,mp,mk,up+hp. The infinite is real easy once you get it. There is so much lag on the up+HP that ut has some room for error. Once you get the infinite down, try going for the infinite into proton cannon in the corner.

[animal]

I did get the rythym down finally about two weeks ago, just sometimes the computer gets out of it by blocking and I figured it was a symptom of one certain thing I was doing wrong. Most logical seems like I'm lagging the lk too much with the pause. The height is maintained the same the whole time for middle sized chars but sometimes they're just able to block out of it. (shrug).

I am able to get the s.hp xx pc to hit most the time, and the other times I screw it up is, as someone put it, me admiring my work so much I miss buttons or jump rythym :) But the times they block otu of it i'm keeping the rythym and it seems like I should still be hitting them but the computer blocks.

how do you start the infinite without a psy assist? because i cant get the infinite at all, do u just wanna launch the person or what?

[mr.z]

the easyest way i know is dash down f up and hk,

How do you start IRONMAN's INFINITE without using psyclocke's assist??

[ComboMasher]

Theres alot of ways. Heres a few without assists:

1- hk(launch), down+hp(dash down forward), lk,mk, up+hp, infinite.

2- clk,cmp *superjump*, lp*dash forward*, lp, up+hp, infinite.

3- Jump in with up+Hk, infinite.

Easy way with magnus projectile assist: Hk+ mag assist(launch), down+hp*dash down forward*, *mag assist hits* lk, up+hp, infinite.

Easy mid screen proton cannon setup with psy assist: Infinite, when you do up+hp hit psy assist too, then proton cannon.

Will that work in the corner too?

[Sarutobi_Sasuke]

I was wondering if any of u guys would be able to give me some advice and how to correct myself on ironmans inf. I use psy to start it up and i do it in the corner (training mode). Im pretty sure that im doing 1 rep of the inf correctly psy, jump, lp, lp, very short pause, lk, and finally up and foward hp. Im having the most trouble connecting the reps together. i can sometimes land two reps but connecting another is hard for me. after i finish up foward hp, do i land and immediately jump and lp, lp and start it over or do i have to wait a short time before i hit lp after i jump. Also sometimes i find myself on the other side of the person im doing the inf on after 1 rep and it makes it impossible to do the next. maybe doing it in the corner is messing me up somehow. any advice or tips on how to connect the reps would be extremely appreciated. Thanks :)

*edit* scratch that thing about being able to do 1 rep correctly. This is what happens to me, after 2 reps, cable (that's who im doing it on) seems to sink too low for me to connect another on. i've come to the conclusion that im doing the reps wrong, it might be the pause with the lk that's throwing off my rythm. any advice would help thanks

[animal]

I had the same problem for a long time. I finally read it in another post. Wait til you see IM start to fall... THEN do the lk, U+hp. If you do it while he's still ascending they'll fall too low after 1 or two reps. Once I finally figured it out it's decently easy. Now however my problem is that the computer seems to be able to block out of the inf after 2 reps. They just block mid-air. I think I might be doing the lp lp too quick and then the pause til he starts falling is too long. I dunno i hve to work on it a little. But try waiting til IM falls. It was the best piece of advice i found on the matter.

Yeah it works in the corner too. But you can get fancy in the corner and do shp, proton cannon. Just speed up 2 reps, then do a normal rep and you should be low enough to connect it.
Or while doing the infinite in the corner, if you get low enough and do slp(fly) and try some combos with psy or magnus assist or whatever.

[-BF-]

To basically everyone in this thread that needs help with the inf:

If you are having trouble with the inf. in the corner, say cable is dropping too low for you to hit, do this instead of the regular one:

j.lk, j.lp, j.lk, j.u+f fp. That will get that back up to the regular height. On sent and BH I usually use that variation the whole time.

Another way to set up the inf. that Combo masher didn't already say...

In corner, c.lk, s.hk, sj.neutral fp, ad/f sj.lk (or sj.lp) sj.fp, Flying screen happens, sj.hk (this will hit them while the opponent is otg and pop them up) then do the variation that I just listed above, into the regular inf.*

*Note that you don't have to jump diagnally with Flying screen, you can just hold up and do the inf.

Later.

i got the infinite down now, but when i get into the corner, how exactly do u connect the proton cannon. Some people say S.hp but i do that and they are able to block the proton cannon. :pleased:

[j99]

Definitely s.HP on everyone besides Sent, BH, or Jugg-- then you'll want to use s.LP,c.MP,Proton cannon.

It does take a little getting used to, but once you get it it's by far the easiest way to combo into PC from the infinite in the corner. Just be sure to wait for the s.HP to connect before canceling into the PC (I know it sounds obvious, but it can be a problem if you're rushing too much).

Good luck :)

[ComboMasher]

Yeah the sHp is the best. But you cant just do a sHP anywhere in the infinite and have it connect. You have to time it right. I usually speed up 2 reps of the infinite, then do one at normal speed and then do sHPxxProton cannon.

[ReakHavok]

how do you do the fly/unfly infinite?

[ComboMasher]

Unfly infinite(you have to be inunfly)-launch,lk,up+hp(fly),lk, up+hp(unfly),up+hp dash up+forward,lk,up+hp(fly),lk, up+hp(unfly),up+hp dash up+forward.
You can also do different setups for it like: clp,cmp, sj cancel,lp, dash forwardlp, launc, unfly infinite.
or: launch down+hp(dash down forward),lk, up+hp(fly), lk, up+hp(unfly),up+hp dash up+forward,lk,up+hp(fly),lk, up+hp(unfly),up+hp dash up+forward.

[ssmatt]

little tip to help with the IM inf.

If you use PSY's AAA make sure to pause a short bit because the lk will not connect if you are hitting to high.

second I could only do the inf 2 maybe 3 at best on the xbox version of MVC2 and I was getting really frustrated. I then did some research on the different console versions of MVC2. Finding out the DC version is the best I then switched. I can tell a world of difference in game speed and most of the characters seem to play different. needless to say first try after switching I was able to do over 30 hits with the IM inf. Now I can do over 50 on demand and dont have to worry about dropping the opponent.

Also the pros of the DC version is that it's an arcade clone so your timing will be right on when you switch from playing at home to playing in the arcade.

[afireinside195]

whats the timing for the ground infinite setup on launch, hp, ad.df, lk, mk, up+hp? because i can do it maybe 5/10 times trying , but never consistently and never pulled it off on a person. on my timing i try to bust out the HP as fast as possible then ad.df when they fall, then lk lk up+hp. but all the time they can either block the lk's or i miss them alltogether.

[majeh]

instead of asking questions just do it. i taught it to myself. practice...

[afireinside195]

you go away , you cant practice the infinite when you have a broken fuse in your dreamcast and a broken disc.(which is my problem ) maybe if i could play i would practice, but i cant. so i want to know the timing now so i can get it later quickly. now can someone please help me and not give me bitch comments like "practice"

[Rockman85]

"ya thanks i started doing that too well i fuck up on the proton cannon sometimes now im working on this one combo its lk hk sj.f-hp dash down at an angle lk lk u-hp in to the infiente its hard i seen it done on commys vids im getting it down though."

OMG I tried to do that set up and for the first time I did after trying to do solo set ups for about7 months now. To make that easier take out the 2 lk's and replace it with one lp followed with a u-fp then do infinite. ironman is hard as hell to learn and im happy that i finally got it. :clap:

[TeAmShAdOwGaMeZ]

itnstead of angling the hp dont..keep it straight then dash d/f..then lk,mk, hp..u gotta time the hp at the end do it to early ur rejump wont connect..what i wanna know is how to connect to unfly infinte into the ground infinite..thats his too crazy

[afireinside195]

ya , i never angle the HP, but anyways. i cant do it midscreen, its easy in the corner , but is there a specific part where ur supposed to hit the person? like in the head or something.because i just always try to do the HP as late as possible after the launch without them being able to block.

[ComboMasher]

Heres an easy way to do the infinite with psy assist: launch+psy assist, :d:+:hp:, :d:+:hk(land),jump :u: :lk:,:mp:,:mk:,:u:+:hp:. Looks flashy

heres another cool corner combo with sent drones assist that looks flashy: launch+sent assist, :u:+:hp:, dash forward, :u:+:hp:, *drones hit* :hk:(land), *jump :u:*, :lk:,:mp:,:mk:, :u:+:hp:, repeat infinite.
Now since the drones hit the character, you have just gotten rid of Flying Screen, so you can do a s:hp:XXproton cannon now.

[majeh]

c.lp c.lp hk launch hp addf lp uf hp infinite?

[ComboMasher]

Oh i forgot, IM has a ROM infinite too(old i know). You cant do it one rep after another, you gotta do it every other rep with the regular infinite:
launch, :d:+:hp:, dash :d:forward, :lk:,:lk:,(land), j.:lp:,j.:mp:,j.:mk:, j.up+:hp:,(land)sj.:lk:,sj.:lk:, dash :d:forward, sj.:lk:,sj.:lk:,sj.:u:+:hp:, repeat.
