Ultimate Magneto Combo Thread: It's my BnB, I Never Fuck It Up

Din0

I figured that almost new post on this character discussion is about how to do Fly Loop/ROM/Magnetic Blast loop, etc. so I figured it was time to compile all of the standard BnBs and break shit down for everyone. The old MVC3 Magneto Combo Thread is great but since there's so many pages of stuff that does not work anymore, it is very hard to navigate through and find the information that you need. As a disclaimer, I will admit that my execution is not up to par as some of the more creative execution-heavy posters on this forum like Ika Zuchi No Kami, Anima922, and Alioune so I will need this thread to be a group effort! Also, I don't think having the most optimal combo down is nearly as important as having a good neutral game and being able to hitconfirm off of every hit. That being said, I will go over the standard BnB's for our favorite Mutant.

The first round of combos that I'm inputting are gonna be without Hyper Grav loop extensions since I want them all down in writing first before I add the second ender. Right now all of the damage listed is before meter is spent.

Basic Combos:

Spoiler:

cr. sj j:h: adf j. xx:qcb: j. j.[adf j.]x4
Use:Anywhere
Meter Build:0.8
Notes: Everyone has seen this combo 1000x on stream and it gets alot of flack for relatively low damage, but that's really not the true reason people should "graduate" from this combo. It's really because :m:xxfly does not connect due to HSD if you try this combo after an air to air hit confirm such as j.:h:addf j.:l:st.. If you want to go for a fly combo afterwards you will have to modify the combo to j.:h:adf j.:h:xxfly via delaying your super jump and hitting the lower part of the opponent's hurtbox. At a higher level of play, you're going to have to learn how to convert this into Hyper Grav loops. Also, if your opponent is dropping too fast, you can add a j. to get them higher.

Spoiler:

cr.:s:sjuf j.:h:addf j.[ land nj. j.:h:adf j.:m:j.]x3 st.:h:xx:qcb:~ 390,000-420,000 Damage
Use: Anywhere
Meter Build: 1.0
Notes: AKA the boring combo. However, it's incredibly reliable and easily converts into Hyper Grav loop or Magnetic Tempest which makes it IMO, a better BnB than Fly Loop until you learn how to unfly. If you're not comfortable with Hyper Grav loop, you can always just do st. sj afterwards.

Intermediate Combos:

Spoiler:

1. cr.:s:sj j.:h:adf j.:h:xx:qcb::s:j.:l:j.[adf j.]x4[:s:pause j.:h:st.] or [ addf j.:s:st.]xx:qcb:~ 410,000-440,000 Damage
Use: Midscreen to Corner
Meter Build: 0.9
Notes: If you don't pause after the unfly, you will get a Hyper Grav which is easily punishable. Converts into 2-3x Hyper Grav loops.

1. cr.:s:sj j.*pause* addf j.:h:st.*pause* st.:s:j.*slightly longer pause* addf j.:h:xx:qcb:~ 460,000-480,000 Damage
2. cr. sj j. *pause* addf j. st. xx st. j. *slightly longer pause* addf j. xx:qcb: ~ 468,000-488,000 Damage
Use: Corner
Meter Build: 0.8

Spoiler:

cr.:s:xxsj j.(pause) addf j.:h:st.:h:xx:qcb:[ (buffer super jump) sjub (or sjuf) > addf (or add) j.:h:st.:h:xx:qcb:]x5 ~ 570,000-580,000 Damage
Use: Corner
Meter Build: 1.5
Notes: You have to buffer the super jump as soon as Magneto's body starts glowing from the Hyper Grav and you should airdash down as soon as you see the opponent's body fly up. The most important note is READ THE FORUMS because this forum literally gets a question about how to do this combo everyday and every time it's the same answer and no one likes repeating themselves. This is one of the pillars of Magneto combos since you can tack on 1-3 of these after basically every combo on this post that connects a Hyper Grav in the corner.

Use: Midscreen to Corner
Meter Build: 1.0
Notes: IMO, the most consistent Magnetic Blast loop. The only tricky part is the j:h: adf xx:u: part since you'll probably end up air dashing up alot while learning it, but soon it becomes second nature.

Use: Anywhere
Meter Build: 1.0
Notes: Since your first j. hits the back of the opponents hitbox, you're going to have to do a backwards fly motion since you will be on the other side of him. If you want to do the normal side fly. you can instead opt to jump straight up after the sj cancel, adf jH and pause slightly before you fly and still continue to combo.

Spoiler:

Use: Anywhere
Meter Build: 1.1
Notes: Can add an tridash j:h:dash st. after the blast for more damage. Also you can do the addf j. j. st. xx ender instead of the to convert to HG loop. Also can add another adf j:h: after the jump cancel j:h: using the same method as The Japan.

Notes: The third pause is a bit longer than the previous two and is where most people drop the combo. Also in the corner, after the third Magnetic Blast, you should st. into Hyper Grav loop into your favorite ender.

Notes: You have to hit all the 's really fast after the launcher. The sj buffer into addf is probably the toughest part. Idk why I call it the Quandizzle, he's just the only pro player I see use it + now Yipes picked it up. Anima922 is the one who first made it IIRC.

Here's the problem I'm having with the OP: I'm not sure whether to post the maximum damage of a combo with Hyper Grav loop + various enders or just leave it as is without the additional Hyper Grav loop damage + notations. Magneto's too much of a "do whatever combo you want" character to write an easy aggregate combo post for lol

post BnBs in sections
"main combo part"

thats how I tried to do it in the Vergil forums really

Interesting, I'll probably add the second enders after I've entered all the usual BnB's fullscreen.

bloodabeast

this is my bnb and i never fuck it up (for real though, i'm not at my house)

the j:h: crosses up which is pretty sweet i think and adds more to the mix up;
j. cr:l: cr:h: j:h: adf j:h: 896:l: [land] sjuf j:h: adf j:h: 896:l: [land] j:m: j:h: 896 [land] cr:h: j:m: j:s: Attraction xx

does around 600k. going to add more of mine bnb's when i recover from these beers.

Mayho

for my midscreen I do the Tokido but after hte relaunch I do H adf H xx fly/reversefly > L H adf H etc.
~700ish with 1 meter depending on your ender, its brain dead easy, carrries ridiculously far, also gives you a chance to dash under to change sides to keep the corner.

for my corner I do
sj:h: adf j:h: xx 896:l: land njuf:h: xx 896:l: land:h: sj:h: adf j:h: xx 896:l: land xx 214:l: sjuf add:s: land sj (wesker) sj:h: xx 236:l: xx 214:atk:
does 830-870ish depending on starter. fairly easy to do, and you get to do some post air tempest mixups.
If I don't have an OTG assist available I add in an extra hypergrav rep in there if I'm gonna end with meter rather than go for a heavy knockdown mixup.

Finally I got all of the combos in this thread except for ROM, The Quandizzle and The Fanatiq thank you guys I want to hug you guys lol took me alot of training now it's time to work on hit comfirm and movement

Azn_Boy

So we're posting BnBs now:

Lazy BnB:

cr.LMHS, delay super jump, j.H adf j.H, backwards fly cancel, j.MH [adf H]x2 cancel unfly j.H, st.H xx L hypergrav, [super jump, addf H, st.H xx L hypergrav]x2, S, super jump MMHS, (Viper OTG assist) + L hypergrav cancel to Tempest, DHC into Sentinel.

I dont know how much damage this does, I think it's over 900K


BnB I always drop outside of Training Mode:

Midscreen, starter into 3 reps of ROM into 3 reps of hypergrav loop, S, super jump MMHS, (Viper OTG assist) + L hypergrav cancel to Tempest, DHC into Sentinel.

Does close to a million

Corner BnB:

starter to 2 reps of Empire Loop, after the last launch j.H addf s.H, two reps of hypergrav loop, S, super jump MMHS, (Viper OTG assist) + L hypergrav cancel to Tempest, DHC into Sentinel.

Over a million. If the starter is from j.S or flight HS it's over 1.1M

Ika Zuchi No Kami

Where are the ROM combos? I got us:D




EDIT; Changing Magnetic Rom to Magnetic Cha Cha

Does the Magnetic Blast actually count after the Shockwave in the third combo, or is it just making Mags drop faster?

Make sure the opponent is above you. They have to be practically on top of you for the j.L to hit.

<_< I came up with the "poverty rom magnetic blast" combo on day -3

OH YEAH I forgot your name lol I'll add you to the credits

Sick thread!, here's a lil corner combo you can add to it if you like.

Does 600,000 Damage, 800,000 w j.:h:xx Tempest ender. Builds a little over 1.5 meters.

Probably should go under the "advanced combos" section since it requires the player to be proficient at the Box-dash Magnetic Blasts and EMP looping.

bloodabeast

here's another corner blast combo:


builds roughly 1.80 meter before super and does 621,500 using missiles/drones extension (does around 800-840k with super)

So Magnus is kind of like a side project for me at the moment, I was just wondering if any of you made the EMP loop as your main BnB? I thought it looked pretty sweet and I took it in the lab, surprisingly its pretty easy. It draws many similarites towards Mazios Doom loop, which I also learned, but its extremely hard to convert into that loop for more than 1 or 2 reps if my starter wasn't optimal, so I end up doing basic foot dive loops more often than not. Is the EMP like this too? I'm using the cr.l St.S variant for now, I think I cap out at 3 or 4 reps with that though.

Mayho

If I go for EMP loop in a match I don't go for more than 2 reps (unless in XF) and transition into other combos.

Sleepy Zero

I'm trying to learn Magneto to help out a friend and so I need to ask. How the FUCK do you do H air dash H into fly L? After that the 5 Hs and whatever but I can never get that god damn fly L to hit shit never works when I do it. They are are way to far away for that L to hit. So what's the trick? I don't own a copy of the game so I can't dick around in training mode to figure out why what I'm doing does or doesn't work. Someone just give it to me on the straight and narrow so I can learn this when I stop by my buddy's house tomorrow night.

This^ is the standard Fly Loop starter. j.H, ADF, j.H is not the standard Fly Loop starter. What you see fanatiq do is coversion off of an anti air, or use a different starter before going into the Fly Loop. <--- if you do one of those the game wont allow you to use the SFLoop because of HSD, so you have to use j.H, ADF, j.H.

The most reps I've done with the regular EMP Loop is 5. You want to keep it at 2 reps though if you plan on converting into other corner combos. Don't bother with cr.L, S scales too much.

Don't get in a wreck with Azn Boy. *whisper* He doesn't have insurance.:eek:

Anyway, the c.L version is good for smaller characters and you can still build 2bars for GravSqueeze. I agree with Azn Boy tho, you should only do 2 or 3(max) reps of the EMP loop, so you can easily convert into something else. That's Allstate's stand.... are you in good hands?

Dante

Once again thank you guys for this excellent thread it helped me out alot so I owe you guys a combo video lol

Din0

I just learned the Fanatiq starter except I added Magnetic Blast loops at the end instead of a fly loop. That crossover is SO useful and the positioning the second ROM rep gives you makes it very easy to get to the other side.

C-FreePO

How do I transition from Magnetic Blast/Fly loop hybrid to hyper grav loop? From fly loop I've just been using unfly j.H, s.H xx Hyper grav but when I add the first rep of a Mag. Blast loop, they pop out either before the j.H or after it not allowing me to follow up.

Din0

The addf jH jS st.H xx Hyper Grav variant works better for that

How do I request that this thread be stickied?

So im using Mag/Sent/Doom and im curious what the proper way is to confirm off of drones when they hit in the air.
Im guessing its some sort of fly cancel im not sure where to find this tho, Anyone know how to do this?

How do I get the S variant of the hyper grav loop to work? Is it really just a timing issue? Outside XF it doesn't work for me at all.

Good question :p
I've only done like one or 2 reps of it w/o XF.

The timing is pretty strict, IMO it's not worth it since the meter gain benefit you get from it is marginal.

douglam

Which combos corner-carry the farthest and transition into hyper-grav?
