He IS a tank, just not a "stand on the point in front of my team" kind of tank. He tanks via disruption, running in and out of the fight forcing people to look at him and giving your teammates the opportunity to strike. He's also very good at finishing kills IMO.
I really like all the combos these melee type characters have. Spiderman, Magik, Even Black Widow has a cool combo that can take down 300hp heroes off a body shot. Captain America here is looking like the craziest. I almost felt like I was watching a Marvel vs. Capcom Combo guide. This is really cool!
@@supercard9418 Shoot, animation cancel into a melee, animation cancel the melee into her kick, press kick again to dive kick. While you're zipping to them change to your batons and whack them twice to finish off a 300 hp hero. One whack for 250-275hp heroes. It's so satisfying to pull off on people diving you.
Man these combos are crazy! Best cap guide on RUclips. Thanks for sharing, good sir. This is pure gold and you're really helping make this game super fun.
One issue I noticed is that Cap can't cancel his E shield toss if there are multiple enemies, meaning he has to wait until it's done ricocheting before he can block. Otherwise it works on single targets.
Crazy amounts of heroes have animation cancels that are as complicated as this. Right now the heroes without these cancels are doing well in ranked but give it a little time and practice and players that main Melee heroes are going to go crazy.
Nice video! Pro tip. In Caps options you can take his Sprint ability off “hold”! I would definitely recommend this! It’s a game changer! You can also do this with his shield block. But definitely a preference move. look into other characters options as well, such Spider-Man’s easy swing. Turn it off. Cheers!
I tried Toggle sprint and it felt like extra steps. Having to press a button every time I want to sprint or jog feels clunky vs just lifting my pinky. Maybe it's more fluid on controller
Another tip is to set the spirit to toggle. There is no reason to be walking normally. Toggle sprint on at the start of the match and Everytime you respawn after dying and you never have to worry about it. You can then mash jump and attack for the slam without worrying about specific sprint cancel timings
Been liking the dive feel of cap, coming from Winston in overwatch. Great tips man, even with his low damage output these combos look effective. Keep up the good work 👍
Bro Captain America is my second most played character and I never actually understood how his primary attack worked. Thank you. This game needs to clear some of its ability descriptions because Cap's attack reads like it does something completely different.
Dude, this helped a lot! I did the combos in the practice mode. I couldn't pull off half the combos in an actual game, but did pull off some of the shorter ones and felt like I got much better with him.
Finally, some actualy good guide without freaking explaining the abilities. Will wait for other characters... or more strategy guide (like when do dive and when do not)
Always the smaller RUclipsrs having the actual techs. Big RUclipsr talking nothing pasta and reading skill descriptions Edit: the shield cooldown feels so bad. What is cooling down? Cap’s 80yo shoulder needs to take a break from blocking???
Unlike other shields, his does the deflect stuff do they're probably making it so that he can't just block and get away with everything while blocking crazy attacks in-between his damage
shield cancel also works in the gap between 2nd and 3rd basic melee shield toss. the timing is tight, and you need to shield as soon as it hits, and not before, or else its either slower or cancels the attack completely. for dps optimization on bigger targets, charging up your shield toss also essentially counts as a basic attack animation cancel, so if you're looking to use any cooldowns to pump out more damage, you can wait for the first shield toss before you go nuts.
This is a great guide. So many videos out rn have guide in the name and either just read the ability descriptions from F1 or show gameplay without anything useful.
As a cap main i was saying wtf does this dude goin to teach me 4 min into the video i was humbled, head down and straight into practice range Nice video
Damn bro just binged all your guides, I've been watching a lot of them out there. Yours are hands down a step and above the rest. Keep them coming please. You got a twitch?
If you want 2 tips. when lining up a slam, throw your shield at the enemies feet, then slam. Doing just those makes the follow-up very easy(being some melee's and maybe a dash to chase). The other being turning off hold to sprint, it makes it so after your press shift everytime you move forward with W its a sprint.
Are these combos still possible? The punch jump punch slam doesn't work for me. The slam comes off cd the milisec I leave the ground. IDK why yours have a delay
Im having the same issue, if i wait half a sec after jumping sometimes i can get the second hit, but the timing seems erratic. not sure how its happening consistently
Great guide, if you do end up making another guidein like a month or so i recommend segmenting the videos more and maybe include what the combos are like e-aa-f type this. I mean its on us to learn you said that in the start but i do think it would help the viewer experience
It makes combos easier so it’s up to you but for high level you want the speed change to mess with their aim a bit. Its preference but I think it’s easier on combos to have it on, but harder in actual position based LOS type fights
@@DorianBlackberg you can… for the combo you only use it once as an animation cancel for damage. Sure you can’t run and animation cancel the shield infinitely. But there was no tech I showed in this video that used that not would it be useful. I was showing you shield taps are animation cancels for any move you do. And that is true. Think outside the box
I messed around with hulk for a bit. He didn’t have any sauce from my 2 hrs of hard labbing so I left him alone for the time being. Will touch him again when I get done with some other characters I’m diving into
@@davidk4082 honestly I feel like skill is the biggest factor. Team playstyle. All of these characters shine in multiple different scenarios. But by far I think the strongest tank is magneto and 2nd place is tied between peni and groot
On controller it’s definitly easier to do that rising double melee by just having sprint on toggle. You just tilt forward after you melee and make sure to buffer your jump and you’ll get that rising second melee hit easily.
Wish you’d have talked about his team up cause I feel it makes him way better especially in team fights. Anyone that doesn’t know his team up works like he’s shield toss not like his passive so when you activate it you have like 7 seconds of better movement,damage and the added bonus that all of those tosses can bounce around.
Why not have leading dash always on while doing this. Like if i have leading dash on and go into liberty rush, i can jump immediately into the slam. Is it just quicker to physically cancel into leading dash after the rush. Same for the melee, hold forward, liberty dash, jump melee slam combo, why not just have dash active already during the first melee?
Is anyone else having issues with his quick attack after he jumps before he slams in game? I'm not even talking about in the heat of the moment, I can barely pull it off in the base before the doors open. So easy to do in firing range but the timing is waaaay different in game for me. you have to like wait a bit after you jump but not to long because you will slam. Super frustrating because i can't really get good practice in for the different timing because i have cooldowns in game so i only get to do it like 2 or 3 times before the doors open! could just be latency maybe but i lag in the practice range and i can still pull it off easy.
Since youve made a great case for him as a dive tank, they should add an ability to put his shield on his back so it blocks rear damage while he runs away after diving back line. :D
hey bro, can you maybe make another video only focusing on the combos, the part where you started talking about the combos felt too rushed honestly, it got waaayyy to complicated with the animation cancelling and everything.
I mean this is great and i learned the combo and went into games and im definitely better but still feels like the other tanks get more value for less. Your video was top notch though.
I can do the jump after first punch with ease, but can't do the second punch right after jump consistently. If I have slam available the second punch will likely get turned into slam when I left click, unless I aim above the middle line but in that case you can't always hit what you were intended to right?
Not really important. Thor isn’t exactly a great character and you won’t see him in comp games. It’s definitely cool and makes you more range based but it doesn’t open up new combos or dmg options
@z00ko I disagree. Thor is in higher ELO games than Captain America. He does everything Cap can do but better, and he has range with a better ult. But that doesn't take away how effective Cap can be, but make no mistake. Thor is probably one of the best tanks in the game once you fully understand his capabilities. I see a lot of RUclipsrs at first call him "trash" or "mid" but now they are calling him S-tier. Ohhh yeah and he has better team ups as well. Thor can buff Cap and Hela. Lol in this video you posted Cap has electricity on him giving him the damage boost. So whatever damage you showcased what partly due to Thor.
@@forcepalmproductions9158 sure I think it’s easier on controller because the directional inputs are the hardest. The actual combo is easy. So timing for the jump dive is easier on console for sure. With that being said I haven’t tried it yet
I somewhat got all these down however, my damage is still relatively low with him. Its just nice burst when you get the combos going. Is that how it is? If not can you show some actual gameplay footage?
@@thebigyes8482 mortal kombat is all about connecting combos and animation canceling and frame data, this is first time imsee that in hero shooter or basically any othernthan fighting game...thats what i mean

Welcome back MVC3 Captain America
I tried the combos you showed here and they were a game changer man! 🎉
A very useful guide on combos. This certainly looks like how I play him but now I know a bit more how and why certain combos work
Excellent video. Best Cap guide ive seen. Well done.
That is IMPRESSIVE. Honestly I don't think I am ready to get that ferocious in this game but that was wild to watch.
Thanks for the video, you got some really solid advice here. We all appreciate it man.
Most other people didn't break down what they were doing, just showing gamepley. Nice information.
this was gold thank you for this break down!
Really high level stuff here. Good work
Oh daamn i did not think his tech was gonna be this nuts lol time to learn it, ty.

Cap is beast. I hope they put more tanks that are fun like him in the game. I want rogue and cyclops from X-men on the tank role
I've been moving between magneto and Cap. This is informative, might stick with magneto cause no one wants to run support in ranked. Lol
Love this video. The tech is insane thank you. Can you do magneto and venom? I know they are boring but I can't help but wonder what they might have

Does cap block stuff while using his charge forward (F)? He holds his shield in front when he does it.
Since youve made a great case for him as a dive tank, they should add an ability to put his shield on his back so it blocks rear damage while he runs away after diving back line.

Great guide. I wanna try Steve now.
just a silly thing you could add
