I vote for Kyo in his 98 incarnation, he could really put a rushdown on anyone with his speed, good combos and lots of autoguard moves.

magneto.. u can just rush that shyt down with mag.. especially after flying screen, he can fake u out with a low short or if u block low trijump short OR he can superjump airdash straigh down to fake the overhead and then do short, short+assist into infinite or reset or whatever. mags is just too quick.

BEST rush down of any game is magneto BY FAR, followed by his buddy storm...Put them in any fighting game and they'll dominate it.

Everyone else is pretty much on the same lvl as far as rush down. If they just made a massive fighting game in 3D and each rush down character keep the same tricks of there trade from previous game storm and mag's would own it.

This thread is mostly just people who've only played MvC2/CvS2/3S and/or GG.

MvC Wolverine was serious. Marvel vs SF Wolverine was straight-up BROKEN. Not any of this "oOOOH, MAGNETO might RESET YOU!! Tri-jump!" Wolverine will fucking kill you with one combo, and gets meter for free in MSF.

edit: he will also attack your children.

[gilley]

Agreed. Most of these people don't understand that magneto's rushdown isn't all that good in XSF. It's the whole helper system that makes him that much better. Personally, I think MvC2 should be left out of this poll.

Eh? Broken? Not really. Wolvy was really good at RD in MSH yeah, however, the way the game was made didn't make him dominate. Omega wasn't too far behind (not so much because of RD but cause he was an excellent character) as well as Blackheart - and the whole point of Blackheart is to keep the opponent away. An awesome BH player didn't even let Wolvy RD. The reason he was so good at RD is cause basically he could connect almost anything off of anything, had pretty much no recovery time, comboed into all of his supers with ease in multiple situations ... well the list goes on.

Are we talking about just plain RD theory or taking into account the separate games with regards to balance? Wolvy wasn't all that bad in MSH IMO - a good character with excellent RD, but still got easily beaten by other characters.

And Geadom mentioned Guy in Alpha 3 ... to that ... fuck, I totally agree. I fucking HATE Guy in Alpha 3 that link/sliding bitch.

[TS]

As gilley pointed out, assists being the way they are in MvC2 changes a lot. Half of the reason Magneto is so good is because of his defense; he can rush you down but it's more work to rush him down, and for smaller reward. If you kept Magneto the way he was but put him in the MvC1 system you would see him getting slapped around by Strider and losing to Red Venom at least 6/4 (thanks for bringing him up, btw...forgot about that), and probably GWM/WM. IMO.

Wolverine being "easily beaten" by other characters, with a possible nod to Iron Body Zangief, is an overstatement. It's like saying Magneto is "easily beaten" by Sentinel....yeah, sometimes. Or, sometimes not.

"Broken" is a relative term, I guess. I consider the speed-up infinite to be pretty bad, even though Omega Red, BH, and IBZ can fight him, Wolvie is still pretty ugly. but Vega can fight Akuma in ST and Guile can fight Bison in AE...that doesn't mean they're not to good. He's not INSANE broken, but if the game were popular, it would boil down to Wolverine teams and anti-Wolverine teams, with a few odd characters sprinkled in. Blackheart's problem is that even though he has full access to his crazy-good normal attacks (unlike in MvC2), he has issues with dealing proportionate damage, AFAIK. Wolverine can afford more mistakes than BH, so while BH can keep him out, Wolverine still has theadvantage. Also, he can't cancel his jumping/sj attacks with and air-dash like in MvC2, which hurts him. Not an awful match, though. Keep in mind I haven't played arcade MSH vs SF in a million years.

[Sonic_Reaper]

I was just playing Alpha 3 yesterday on MAME. Was getting ass raped really bad like 14-1 against a Guy player. I don't want to make excuses, but the lag was pretty bad, the game was running like ass, and I was sweating buckets all over my shitty keyboard. Time to invest in a PS2 USB converter or something.

To TS; I wouldn't call Wolvy broken in the least. I know what "infinite" you're referring to with the super that makes him super fast; however it's not really infinite cause once the super is done, he can't do that shit anymore. And the only way to catch an opponent is if they play a pure ground game. You won't see it happening a lot to savvy opponents who can see it coming a mile away. Wolvy is just an all around awesome character - but so's Omega. Spiderman is actually another awesome RD in MSH. We had a little gathering at my University that only played MSH - in fact the MvC machine was right next to it, but no one played cause we all agreed McV was fucking broken as shit and MSH was the most balanced and methodic versus games. It pains me when retards on kaillera go "ZOMG THIS GAYM IS 2 SLUW TUBRO 2 TURBI 2!!111!!!!1!11!" because for some reason fast = better.

You know, you're right. "Broken" is probably a slightly too strong a word to slap ont MSF Wolvie, especially considering BS from other games. Plus, I could have sworn that he could combo into the speed-up super (into the infinite) in the arcade version, but it looks like I was wrong. Whoops.... He's just way too good. And yeah, it's not an infinite isn the strictest terms (you only build about 80% meter back, but considering it's Wolverine, who gets meter for free anyway...), but it does ~100% damage to most characters, assuming they took no hits beforehand, and you can link supers during/after the speed-up ends. 1.5 meters will kill anyone, assuming you can somehow land the combo from the begining of the speed-up super, that is (or at least have enough time to get the first dizzy).

And online play is awful. I played some A3 matches once, and I had a full 2 seconds of lag, and of course got swept....and then the dude started talking shit...wtf I was on a keyboard and playing the match from YESTERDAY, there was so much lag. Anyone who thinks they're hot shit on A3 because they win kailera matches, please, please find me at Evo.

Thx.

[Sonic_Reaper]

Oh man I so know where you're coming from. I usually don't like saying anything, cause hey, a win's a win right? But seriously the delay was causing me to miss correct blocking. I'd get hit overhead with no time to get up, get tripped with no time to crouch. But in the end, I commend the other players, especially if they strive through the lag and input commands beforehand. It's easy with Guy though - high, low, chain, slide, slide, slide, chain, random super slide, slide, slide, throw ... He has a lot of options and can come at you quickly with both highs and lows. Man some epic matches I had on console though with Guy vs. Chun - obviously better there cause I could break through the RS with no delay.

But yeah I've got caught in Wolvy's rapist super in MSH before. It's not so bad. With BH, if you're smart, you'll be in the air whoring mk like a 2 cent prostitute on 20th street. No chance for Wolvy to really get ya. Of course I don't recommend that shit with every character (staying airbourne).

[Sahao]

Why do I see Eddie in GG series here
Its rushdown, not lockdown

In rushdown you can still consider what to do and react within 1 frame or 2
In lockdown you dont, you just block.
In Eddie case, not even dead angle nor Burst could save you from lockdown, that mini Eddie just takes the hit for it

Uhh, can Chris rushdown in KOF '98? I know he has all these death combos and such, so can he be considered a rushdown character?

About the best RD: Mags and Storm are at the top of the food chain, but don't forget the Tae Kwon Do characters in T5 (I think), Lau/Akira (VF4), Makoto (3s), and whatever else. Oh, and one question: Is there any kind of rushdown in the SS games? If so, list who are the best at it in each game (1-5 SP, Tenka), and why. Nothing seems to combo in these games to me (maybe because I suck at the games, or because SS4 is the only one that lets me combo things).

[Akzidenz]

Yun isn't even close to being a good rushdown character in 3s.. half of his game is keep-away, and he has a limited amount of combos into the only thing that makes him worth playing at all (SAIII). Yang's a little better just because his EX Mantis is so nasty. What makes Yun a good rushdown character? Cross-up dive kicks on wakeup that are easily parried or blocked? A slow command throw? Unless they have GJ ready, every good Yun I've ever played has backed off as soon they scored a knockdown and mashed on Cr. Strong.. that's less scary than trying to wakeup against Sean.

Makoto is a crazy rushdown character, but Akuma is tops (regardless of the fact that he takes hits like a 5-year-old girl) because he has more options than anyone else, most of them are safe, and all of them are scary. Even if you take his dragon-kick mixup out of the game (because the best of the best will knock you out of it every time) he's scarier than the rest of the cast.

And don't say Remy or Ibuki just because you play them. :P

Akuma.

- - - - - - - - - -

EDIT: I know this makes no sense theoretically, but good Ryus also scare the shit out of me on wakeup. Don't know why.

[Sahao]

The ONLY reason why I said Yun is a rush character is because his SA3, that shit will rush you down.

Makoto rush is more like Slayer to me. You either get hit, or grab/bite

But after I thought about it a little more, Akuma it is top

[Akzidenz]

The ONLY reason why I said Yun is a rush character is because his SA3, that shit will rush you down.

Makoto rush is more like Slayer to me. You either get hit, or grab/bite

But after I thought about it a little more, Akuma it is top

The thing about Yun is that, 90% of the time, good Yun players will combo into GJ instead of using it to pressure. If they randomly activiate GJ, they're going to burn half of their meter just trying to get in the first hit (which they may not even get). The only time I see GJ used outside of combos for pressuring is during matches where the Yun is either within a few hits of a win (so no juggle is necessary), or during matches where the Yun player is getting desparate.

And yeah, Makoto's rush is sort of like Slayer's (from what limited GG knowledge I have).. but she scares the shit out of me because she has so many tools with such high priorities, and they all force you to make split-second decisions because you don't get knocked down too much (instead of a normal wakeup, where you have a second or two to think about how you're getting rushed down). If she can keep you disoriented, and keep guessing correctly, she can take half of your lifebar before you realize what happened.

[Sonic_Reaper]

Hm, I'm not sure about Makoto. She seems horribly random. As long as you zone her within dash (her dash) distance with random light pokes she can't really realiably get in, and basically anything stops her dash. Once she's in, there are several ways to beat her out with any character. However, thus is the nature of SF3, slightly more defensive than offensive. Regardless, Makoto players will constantly trying to be going for her command grab.

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

Random is sorta accurate. She has her off days and on days. But when you're on... SAIII and genocide. Apparently she's top tier, but not higher then all the rest I think. If she had a more reliable method of getting close, then she would be the best.

[Akzidenz]

Apparently she's top tier, but not higher then all the rest I think.

She's top tier in Japan, I'm pretty sure it's Yun > Chun > Makoto > Ken.

[Rhio2k]

Uhh, can Chris rushdown in KOF '98? I know he has all these death combos and such, so can he be considered a rushdown character?


Yes he can. I already listed Chris, but this is a thread that asks a question that encompassess ALL fighters, then chooses to ignore SNK characters, and focuses on characters from either series from dead (fighter-wise) companies, or games that get only *updates* every 2 years or so.

[Atb_555]

I don't know about A3, mainly because there's no dashing, running or small jumps, but I suppose Guy is a rushdown.

[SSJGouKi]

most people will say magneto here because the vast majority of people are just mvc2 fanboys and played nothing else or dont know anything about any other game. Pure ignornace another words. Here's my list in no particular order:

1. Vanessa: One of the scariest characters in KOF2K2 or in any fighting game period. You can't get any more confusing then her, high/low games with no knockback resulting in almost an endly array of ground games + infinites with a single hit = one sick rushdown character. All this without doing a single jump. Would like to see magnus do this.

2. Melty Blood/Act Cadenza. Has anyone seen these in high level jap play? Almost every character in this game makes magnus rushdown look like a pile of poo. I can't even get into a basic rundown on what you can do in this game, just look at jap play and you'll see what I mean.

3. Darkstalkers/Vampire savior in general: Same thing as the above. Almost every character in this game is just total rushdown. It almost seems broke.

Other characters:

4. Milla
5. Chipp
6. Eddie
7. Wolverine

And a comment about magneto, if you notice all of magnus's rushdown capabilities are based off of almost CONSTANT tri-jumps with short kicks with assists. WOW, lots of varieity there, nuff said.

[Hand Hanzo]

KOF: Chris, hands down.
CvS2 and SF2: Vega
CFE: Jedah

EDIT: oh shit I forgot one
DS: Hsien-Ko

I have to say, I think Wolvie really does have an advantage over most of the cast in MvSF for the simple fact that he just builds meter so ridiculously fast and has dizzy combos. What some people might not remember is that if you catch the speed up infinite and happne to land a hit early enough, you can get enough reps to lead to a dizzy combo. By that time, you would have built enough meter to repeat this combo, or just go for a s.mp XX BBX for good damage. Armor Gief certainly is Wov's toughest match, and I can see other characters giving him some problems, but it's hard for me to really say who.

Anybody remember the tiers for this game anyway? Wasn't it something like

Top-Wolvie/Dark Sakura/Omega Red/Spidey

Mid-shotos/BH/Shuma/ both Giefs/Chun/Sim/Bison/Cyc/CapAm/Mephisto/US Agent

Low-Dan/ Sakura(might have been mid)/

Oh yea, and my votes for top rushdown
keep in mind, I just recently got into SNK games a while ago, so excuse my list for being mostly Capcom related. Also, the games listed next to the character is refering to the games they were actually good in, and is not meant to signify all the games they were featured in.

1) Magz (XvSF, MvC2)
2) Storm (XvSF, MvC2)
3) Wolvie(MSH, XvSF, MvSF)
4) Blanka (SF:CE, CvS series)
5) K-Rock(CvS2) or Jedah (Vampire series/CFJ)

Yea...my list sux.

[Harem]

Hardly anyone here seems to know what rushdown is really about.

The only possible candidates are: Anji, Servbot, Sean, Dan, and 'Gief. =/

Note: Anji > magz.

Also, zand wins thread for best av. :lovin:

[Sahao]

In fact Anji in Slash actually is... not rush down heavy, but close

I still cant beleive what they did to him in slash tho.

[dev1ant]

Wolverine is the man who invented RTSD (MvC1+ MSH)

[rayn1984]

magneto ,, he can juz rush down very quickly and make an unblocable dash ,, (by doing it up to 7x)

[TS]

OG MSH vs SF tiers were Omega Red, Wolverine, and Spidey, with the order changing depending on who you asked. Bottom were Dan, Sakura, and Shadow (Charlie). Ryu was higher than the other shotos (and most other characters, being top tier or top of 2nd tier), BH was high, and Cyclops was mid somewhere. CapAm/USAgent had some stupid assist trap that I never bothered to learn, and Ken sucked. Most everybody else was pretty good, IIRC. There's a thread for the game here on SRK (at least one) if you feel like doing a search, and you can always look at alt.games.sf2 via google groups search to see why people tiered them that way.

[Dark Strider]

Shadow was the one I forgot to mention, I knew I was forgetting somebody. Damn, he was really awful; had no way to combo supers for no apparenty reason. Also didn't know BH was top..

[Dark Strider]

Shadow was the one I forgot to mention, I knew I was forgetting somebody. Damn, he was really awful now that I remember; had no way to combo supers for no apparenty reason. That's interesting about BH, I had no idea he was top in that game.

[Dark Strider]

woops

[ToXY]

Shadow aint too bad, if you have good execution all you need is to land one c.jab and then you got em in infinite.. actually his c.jab is really good even if you can do his inf since it has super fast recovery , so combined with dash and is very good even if you cant pull off his inf, just c.jab > dash repeat and if they keep blocking just wavedash throw em, trust me hes awesome :)

[orka]

In fact Anji in Slash actually is... not rush down heavy, but close

I still cant beleive what they did to him in slash tho.

Yea, he's definitely more offense oriented now. Same goes for Baiken.

I personally think Baiken's changes turned her into a rather boring character in Slash... all business.

And why are there more Sol/Chipp nominations than Eddie or Dizzy? I mean yea Chipp is beast in Slash and Dizzy sucks now but I'm still not sure if I would call Chipp a rush-down character. And Sol never had that great of a rush down unless he has tension.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but wasn't XvsSF Ryu a good rushdown character? I mean...his infinities where ridiculous easy to pull off in there and they involved him having to rushdown, and they owned as well. Wolverine was a beast I have to admit though.
