@@FilthGnasty Hi friend! Quick update - I got to ~18 hits which I am really happy with. No consistency whatsoever, but seeing results 1 in 20 times is encouraging. Happy new years!
In a weird way im happy to hear this. New to the game and after 15-20 hours in training mode this week i feel alot better after hearing your reply 😅 game is a struuuugle haha
Yeah this is the best tutorial for anything fighting game related I've ever seen. It's thorough, thoughtful, easy to follow and understand. As someone else who use to be a corporate call center trainer and communication studies college graduate, BRAVO! I've loved this game since I was a kid and always wanted to actually learn how to play so your videos have been a godsend! Thank you so much for your hard work!
yo, mojo, i appreciate the kind words! i definitely do my best to be thorough and keep things concise. glad to hear that you like my video so much, i'll be sure to make more! 🙏🤝
I was too young to really get into mvc2 on a competitive level. But now that I’ve been in the mood of learning it, I couldn’t find any real tutorials until I found ur channel. I’m also glad ur videos are recent and not like 11 years old. Appreciate ya 😌
Had a lot of trouble getting started with this. What helped was holding the heavy kick down during the first launch so you get it to hit as fast as possible. Excellent guide, thank you!
Keep grinding training mode! I don't even want to know how many hours I have in training mode but I promise you that the countless hours are a must, especially bc of the execution required in this game. Keep rewatching the step by step process at 2:34 and try to replicate that as best as you can until you get it!
Ayo, what up danbogard! The magical powers of the RUclips Algorithm strike again lol. Glad to know that you're enjoying the content and I appreciate the kind words! Not sure what you found in your investigation for the meaning of Rom, but I believe that the person that discovered the Rom infinite had Rom in their username, so that's how it became the Rom. However, I could be wrong about that!
Luckily the vast majority of the cast are normal bodies with the normal character physics. The ones you have to watch out for are Sentinel, Jugg, Blackheart and Hulk!
This video is awesome. I’m no where even close to being good at this game (PS2) this combo makes it even tougher cause I only know how to play on pad lol. Regardless, it’s great to see the button inputs live and the different setups for this. To the lab I go!
I used to play on pad and honestly, within the first week of playing on stick, I was already way better than I ever was on pad. Totally worth the switch :). But if you plan on sticking to the pad for a while, I'd suggesting holding it like a little fight stick where you control the joystick/dpad with your left thumb and use your right middle and index fingers to press the controller face buttons. That seems to be the way all the top pad players play. Good luck on learning the game!
Appreciated, it was the down light for me. i would dash down forward an go neutral, all these years an that was it lol. I always wanted to use him again an stopped cuz i was doin the 2000's combos as u said lmao. gonna give him another shot, im pretty good low tier. He will likely be the only high tier i use, maybe ironman for the unfly cuz thats dope too. Lets battle 1 day an c if i can take down your tops vs my lows GT is Emporor Kain, on 360 Psn an fightcade. Gonna practice again when i get off work.
LOL this is one of the best comments on this video. The down forward LK was def a road bump for me as well, which is why I made it a point to have it at the beginning of the video. Hit me up on Discord for some matches! @filthgnasty
@@FilthGnasty Thanks for the quick reply my dude, appreciate it! Sorry for the confusion, but at 3:30, looking at your inputs, aren't you doing an air down dash after the second LK to get the subsequent DF LK out? I don't think you mentioned that in the preceding steps
There’s a lot of lore about tech sharing in the old days on khaos’ podcast - but most people on there weren’t around in the early early days, so the origins of some of the older tech aren’t necessarily there.
Great video, but I wish you'd talk a bit about how to end the rom. I've seen some stuff with msp like psyblade into tempest or instant dhc to storm but I'd be interested to know if there are good standard options other than st hk shockwave or just snap.
Some other options are a throw reset, a mixup reset, hypergrav tempest (explained in video), a fancy raw tag corner-only combo (explained in video), a hard knock down into an assist (like horizontal typhoon or drones) which will allow for a combo expention. The beauty of it is you can get creative with it. It sounds like you know the most important ones which are the ones that will deal the most damage. Ultimate you want to do whatever will deal the most damage or whatever will secure you a kill if possible.
This is my favorite tutorial i've found since the collection launched, i feel like this might fix some of the issues i've been having. but how do you end the combo???
A hypergrav tempest is a popular ender because you can catch an opponent back in the ROM after the super and then go right back into another hypergrav tempest if you're good enough. You can go for a mixup reset or a throw reset. You can snap out the character if needed. Theres quite a bit of options honestly. But ultimately the best option is to try and secure a kill
@@Ryuma103desires I’m using an Xbox series x controller on PC and have managed to get up to 45 hits on a few days practice, granted it’s really only from a 2LK starter so getting more combo starter opportunities and converting is gonna be a nightmare but progress is progress
Yeah i switched back to pad when this came out, i got a stick and it's way better for tekken, but somehow in 2d games i can't figure out how to fcking jump lol
Hey man first off this tutorial is fucking great, thanks a lot for making it. I think I still dont understand all of the mechanics behind flying screen. Because of flying screen, is there nothing you can do at all after the final down hk in a 5 fierce besides run mix?
Struggling to successfully follow up after the air dash to down light kick. I’m going as fast as possible but I drop it and the AI starts to block. I’m only able to land it right mayne2 times out of ten if that
a nasty variation you missed: c. lk, c. hk xx sj. air dash d/f hk (otg), c. lk, c.hk xx sj. lk lk into rom it's rollable but rarely rolled when mixed into other setups, very flashy
Yup, that's a good one for sure! That's more of a setup for the Rom though, rather than a Rom variation. I did think about adding that and another similar OTG setup that I know of, however I decided to leave them out because that's a little bit more advanced Magneto tech imo, and this video was meant to be a little more beginner friendly. But you're absolutely right, people have to be on top of it to roll that setup bc it happens so damn fast!
thanks! i use poles with articulating monitor arms for my set up. one pole is used with 2 monitor arms to have my monitors one on top of the other. then i have another pole with 1 monitor arm that holds my monitor to the side.
I can do it perfectly with dreamcast controller but I can't always get constant air dash to lk to keep the rom going. Even after pressing both punch buttons sometimes it doesn't do an air dash all the time.
hey what's up lorexio. it sounds like your button pressing timing for the 2 punch buttons is off if your air dashes aren't coming out. you have to press them at the exact same time every time. mvc2 is pretty strict when it comes to button dashing. i'm also happy to watch a video to give some more advice. you can add filthgnasty on discord and send me the video
How tf u do step 6? It's like the small down angle kick always fallowing up with the second kick...this is stupid...or maybe this combo works on a arcade version because it's obviously not working on the PS4 version
i can get most of it but i can never get the loop going. i super jump do light kick light kick then when i try and dash down the light kick on the way down always wiffs and am i doing it too fast?
hey Ryan. hmm, it's hard for me to say without seeing what you're doing. add me on discord and maybe send me a short video @filthgnasty you might not be letting Magneto get enough height before you do the tri jump LK. let him get a little higher before you do the tri jump would be my initial suggestion
How come when I try to do the the Down-Forward dash +LK for the 7th hit (or after the psy assist) it sometime won't come out? It'll just do the DF Dash but the LK won't come out. I've been having this odd issue. Not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
Hmm, not sure. Are you on fight stick or controller? I would try piano rolling a button dash into an LK while standing to see if your LKs come out. What you want to see is a little micro dash before the LK comes out. Should be pretty easy just to confirm your buttons are working correctly
I typed the above comment early in the video… This is by far the most comprehensive combo tutorial I’ve ever seen. You really get into the mechanics of everything. Fantastic job and very informative!
Honestly I did want to start the video with that line, and even recorded myself saying it, but I went with this instead lol. Glad you like it and thank you for the kind words! Just tryna help everyone level up!
Yo what up djaftermath. Nah, their infinites are way different. They're much easier, actually. There's some tutorials out there can you come learn from 🙂
You can do anything on the controller if you put your mind to it! No but seriously, there's plenty of top players that play on pad, so yes, definitely possible! One thing you might try experimenting with is holding the pad like a little fight stick. I would say most players on pad do that. So, they press face buttons with their index and middle fingers instead of holding the controller the traditional way and moving the joystick/pressing buttons with their thumbs

“Are you still doing early 2000s combos” damn bro didn’t have to call me out like that 😂
I knew I'd catch some people 😂
Hopefully now you got some new stuff out of the video!
20 years later, still struggling with any combo in this game! Appreciate the video though, great coverage.
Learning this game is a never ending struggle lol. I appreciate you watching!

Nice, glad you were able to figure it out! Happy to help, thanks for watching!
Watching all your videos since the collection has been out thank you for the help!!
you're welcome and i appreciate you watching!
this is genuinely one of the best tutorials out there
Yo I appreciate that man! If you like this one, then you'll certainly enjoy my other ones :)
Awesome tutorial man, managed to actually hit my first few reps bc of this guide hahaha
That's what I like to hear! Keep going :)
While I do play Magneto I can not do an infinite to save my life 😭. I only pick him cause he's my favorite villain. Great vid btw.

Stumbled across your channel by the powers of YT. Great content. This is a great video.
I had to look up what Rom stands for.

The only mag combo I can do and I’ve been playing for over 20 years lol , the first one
Honestly that's really good for being the only combo you can do lol. That combo alone can get you lots of wins for sure!
Now I can finally do this move!! UPLIFTING!!
This combination attack is crazy good, only the toppest of dogs utilize it. Use it with caution, may come with salt!! 🙏🧂
I wish I had this when I learned the rom! Great editing, and explanation!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for watching even though you already know how to Rom lol
Thanks broski, exactly what I was looking for
You're welcome!
I was thinking like, it’s literally 1 button how dumb to make a tutorial, but there’s actually some good stuff in here. Kudos
Only high quality and useful tutorials on this channel, no 1 button combos! Lol. Appreciate you watching!
Oh man...where was this when I learned the rom. Huge level up just getting to see the variations broken down like you did. Great content!
I appreciate the kind words! Glad you were able to get some value from the video despite knowing how to Rom already. :)
Great guide, the different character physics still keep me in the dark on doing this
Luckily the vast majority of the cast are normal bodies with the normal character physics. The ones you have to watch out for are Sentinel, Jugg, Blackheart and Hulk!

Hey man, I think you forget to mention during the execution after step 9 that you need to input the down dash motion with the df lk after SJ lk lk
Yo what up! After step 9, I say to repeat steps 6 through 9. And if you pay attention to step 6, it mentions doing the ddf LK :)

It would be interresting to have a podcast on all the tech and the lore behind how they where found out.
yeah that would be interesting! not sure that i'd do something like that on my channel but then again, you never know what the future might bring!

I cant get past step 8 where you super jump into the light kick
