UMVC3 Quick Tips: Backwards Wavedashing

[TheEvo421]

Hey Max. Great content as always. This is kind of a late request for you or anyone in the comments section but do you have any tips on how to better do triangle jumps or properly placing air dashes and unflys for combos? Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[WolfMoon351]

Oh thats easier said than done by using the arcade stick, but what about the PS3 controller, there are some people who can't get one that easily

[ch1my6]

what is the best and most comfortable button layout on a arcade stick i cant really find one that im really comfortable with

[iNoobtacular]

Setting up for wall bounces. That's what I'd love to see in the next quick tips

[cheeseUout]

i'll totally try that out. But i have my buttons set up a little different. Coud be difficult

[geobraun]

@Miles923 I'm sure many people do this already, but for any pad players, you can do this same technique very easily if you assign L+M to the trigger, especially, if you have your controls set to mimic mvc2 (attacks are face buttons). Thanks for the vids Max!

[EskimoJOE55]

I just lost love mvc3 since they didn't keep venom..

[xiaoyuryu]

Nemesis's wavedashes look godlike, lol

[raccoonfishgaming]

@xiaoyuryu yeah i have him on my team, he's unbearably slow but his dashing is modest so i don't have a problem with him

[2hafstylezk]

is that how u wave dash in marvel 3... i never had a problem wit jab+strong down jab+strong but in marvel 3 that shit don't be workin 4 nuthin

[DarkNatasX]

@2hafstylezk It works perfectly for me.

[2hafstylezk]

@DarkNatasX im sayin tho in marvel 2 it'z no problem 4 me in 3 i be fuckin up

[gam3fr33k]

if you can do hypergrav loop that'd be great. i can never seem to combo into another hypergrav after i super jump and air dash down

[mvc3zmas]

its hard to do with a normal controller and i have a normal one. how much is a joystick btw

[KazumatheShelBulet23]

could you do a vid on Morrigans projectile fly cancel spam. that would be great to see

[anhell1910]

It's just me or this donsen't work?? plz max or someone help me with this

[waiikol]

@anhell1910 it doesn't work for me neither, but if i do H+M and then M+L it does, instead of doing H and then M+L.

[ehsteve231]

With a controller, the same technique can be applied by (default 360 controls) B, then right trigger or Heavy then Light+Medium attack in one button/one trigger press.

[ImNotATerrorism]

If you use a controller, an easy method to do this dash is to program one of your triggers has L+M Attack. and then you just hit H and a trigger.

[ANNHIRODAIOH]

people figurre things on your own...

[psnplyerhard26]

How 2 do team air counters PLZ im tired of getting raped by Dantes air combos

[TheFingerTrapMaster]

Could you teach us about flight canceling at some time? I have trouble doing it and am sure other do to.

[StylishandViewtiful]

you should make a video about what fuzzy guards are and/or bold canceling with dante

[anhell1910]

well I don't know how to do this I really try it but dosen't work NEED HELP HERE!

[dren129]

Max, thanks a lot for posting this. Before watching this video I had an idea of what plink dashing was but it was wrong. Now that I know the proper technique I can do it now and it helps a LOT. I can get through zoning, keep rushdown pressure on, and quickly get out of bad situations where I never could before.

[kknowles215]

@miles923 so doom can wave dash right i think he can front but i have never seen it back.

[gumgumningen]

I'd like one Midscreen Combo with Deadpool please.

[MagmusBLR]

It's pretty good with a gamepad also, just put the l+m command on the right trigger.

[reaperkazeshini]

i need to know how to properly use OTGs and recombos :( i cant seem 2 do it :c also i need 2 know those flying combos(where u use flight) hear me out tnx

[Mccomboking]

lol the nemesis slide

[shinonimi]

Does doom have more then one mid-screen combo?

[antonioBMC22]

@Miles923 I play on pad Not on a fight stick. Can you give some tips if you have any for the pad players?? Thanks Max.

[killahkazi]

@antonioBMC22 should work the same on pad, just use H and your LMH buttons.

[CODENAMEVIDEOS]

Chun players need to learn this. Double air dash cancel, and if you mash this at the rythm of her "legs" attack she will do a legs and dash leg and dash combo until hit stun drops it. Try it :)

[NitghVision]

I backwards-wavedash with back/dash/backdown/dash/repeat­. It helps when you use a squaregate.

[bomberdudeify]

no wonder everyone online is so good there all watching you're videos for tips..I had to learn everything on my own the way it should be.

[KriptoNation]

I would appreciate if you showed bread and butter combos for popular characters.

[KazumatheShelBulet23]

@KriptoNation what he said

[accention]

How to tiger knee a super tutorial would be great

[NYgraffiti17]

Show how to do extended Dante combos. because i can pull most of them off its just the strict timing with moves like his teleport cancel into other corners after a stinger to finsh combos, things like that.

[MaskedPlayer514]

On pad you can set R2 (or the equivalent for Xbox) to L+M or M+H and plink using L or H respectively Its a little difficult at first but it work

[RamsusXIII]

@MaskedPlayer514 Could it work if you set your R2/RT to L+H and hit M?

[RedLotusBlade]

Oh, I like the fact that you can do this with Nemesis, but I'd love if this worked just as well with the controller...

[LordWarr]

Nice video, I was doing it wrong >_< I was using M and H, I'm a pad player so it ain't as good.

Max you should do a video about that backwards tiger knee motion and how to cancel moves using said motion :O

[ytgodzilla]

How about a quick tip vid on canceling and knowing when to input moves to chain. It seems that the game adjust to you rather than you getting better. For example to chain Dormammu's purification and Chaotic flame correctly you have to input the cancel after he says, " like..." I learned that because he's a favorite character of mine but other characters I have no clue. New players may not understand that that's what you have to do and train to learn. Esp with characters like Wesker & Doom.

[zchris2]

Man if you could make some tips on OTGing with certain characters that would be great.

[ANTIFACEBOOKMAN]

Can u do this on controller

[thekid13279]

MAX HOW DO YOU DO YOUR DR DOOM COMBOS !!!!!! MAKE A ULTIMATE MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 DR DOOM ASSIST ME !!!!!!!

[Nexo213]

@thekid13279 He already did (albit for Vanilla, but still).

[Silence8194]

@thekid13279 look at the vanilla marvel guide. the combos available in ultimate are exactly the same

[CPRay216]

Wow. Now I know how to wave dash and backwards wave dash! XD

[alpharudyUT]

what about Tri-Jumping?

[memouzumaqui]

how about choosing a Good Arcade Joystick?

[Nexo213]

@memouzumaqui The stick Max has is alright. Sure, it's no Eightarc, but it's pretty good.

[memouzumaqui]

@Nexo213 It is good, but I want to know if he could give me an advice. I want to buy something cheap and good.

[Orochimaru1Pein1M]

Im starting to get used to Wave dashing on the controler.

But its a bit tricky cause i sometimes pull out a random super.

[bakarchina]

@Orochimaru1Pein1M how r u doin it?

[mperettik]

Hey Max, brilliant work you've been doing. You mentioned on a previous vid of yours something about qcf motion resulting in DP motion moves. I've been having this problem with Hawkeye. OTG poison arrow > Gimlet > DHC into any qfc motion hyper, the DP one will come out. Tried that with Ghost Rider, Dormammu and Cap to name a few. If you wait a bit more (after Gimlet hits) the correct move will come out, but it feels more like a glitch than a part of the game. Can you test it out? Cheers.

[corkyjay2]

How to use Bold Move from Dante

[thewatcher3]

could u explain the foot dive corner loop combo i got it down as far as the foot dives but everytime i go to do the air plasma beams the character rolls out idk if maybe im not fast enough or if hit stun is playing effect in it

[XxWangoxX]

@thewatcher3 have you tried tiger knee-ing the motion? (d, df, f, uf)

[1willvaughn]

After you do he second foot dive immediately air dash down to the ground. This gets Doom to the ground faster. You can super jump up and then do the air plasma beam or regular jump and do it whichever you prefer. Hope that helps.

[bakarchina]

any tips tips for those wit pads and xbox360 controller plz?

[MVGkaiser]

The best way to do hypers and connecting with them. I have a little trouble doing hypers that use the button combination that Ghost Rider's bike and Thor's "Mighty Thunder" use, you know "forward, down, diagonal".

[crispykreamer]

Some Nova gameplay, solo combos and tips on how to get in on others with him without much use of assists.

[LionDanceBoy1]

I dont get it.What is plank dash and piano dash because im confuse.please help me.

[jeiting]

How about those players for PAD? any tips?

[Kurokikaze268]

Great video Max. I was having a tough time wavedashing using L/M+Down. Will try with H instead. Seemed much easier.

Next video should explain Triangle Dashing with characters that hop off the ground. Been practicing with Doom but it's not that simple. XD

Thanks again.

[Wyvernx]

Fly unfly combos with Dr. Doom?? :))))

[megalan42]

A nice quicktip would be how to best counter projectile spamming when using a heavy hitter like Nemesis or Hulk. This would be a great help as this seems to be one of my biggest problems I see when playing online.

[GIR177]

@megalan42 For Nemesis, just use jumping tentacles and tiger-kneed rockets to try and zone them out as you try to make your way in. The air tentacles act like Ghost Rider's jumping S, and allow you to pressure while you get in. But honestly, if you're having trouble, remember you have two other characters on your team. Just switch to the character that can best deal with the opponent's character. Hulk vs Dormammu is always gonna be a losing fight for Hulk.

[vButtxrCup]

i like how i spent hours on skoryuken studying the basics and what not and it didnt say anything about this.. >:(

[linkzack]

Charge attacks

[beserkmaster]

Rapid Succession charge attacks, such as Shuma-Goraths Mystic Ray and Frank West's Hammer Throw?

Or maybe that certain way you airdash into Dr. Doom's air M?

[YukiJudai100]

Make one for cancelling Dante's Prop Shredder into Air Trick please.

[jaymay023]

You can plink on a regular controller as well. This is done index finger on light, middle on medium and ring on heavy and thumb on special.

[asxter12]

I need help with how to turn dantes bold cancel to other moves and how to play zero with his buster shot charger plzzz help i keep losing match cause i try to do those n do dante combo lik urs

[dracocrusher]

could you provide tips for more basic things? Me and my friend are O.K., but not so good that we can instinctively do most of the combos that are fetured on your videos.

ALSO anyone know of a charecter with a HC meter-recovering move like Thor or Felicia? I'm trying to make a team that can gain meter really fast.

[AnguzBeef]

@dracocrusher Shuma has one

[dracocrusher]

@AnguzBeef the DLC charecter Shuma Gora? huh... probly won't get him, but thanks for letting me know!

[bakarchina]

@dracocrusher S+ ANY ATTACK BUTTON

[LeagueBroz]

Now all I have to do is get a damn  arcade stick....

[anthem456]

What is the best button config for a fight stick Max?

[YukiJudai100]

@anthem456 I believe most, if not all, Fightstick users use the same config.

Top Row, Left to Right: Light, Medium, Heavy

Bottom Row, Left to Right: Special (Launcher), Assist 1, Assist 2.

Some sticks have an additional button in each row, so I suppose those can be set for one-button dashes or easy THCs.

[jaymay023]

Excellent video! Maybe during online gameplay you can record your hands and place it in the lower left or right so people can see what what buttons/buttons your pushing. I think it would add another degree of awesomeness to your tuts!

[Death2000x]

BnB combos with DOOM! Cuz I see how you use him and i just can even grasp half the stuff you are doing lol

[PpGmaznboy69]

@Death2000x watch the doom assist me

[devilman701]

Nemesis looks funny

[anthem456]

For some reason I can not pull this off can someone help me with the plank dashing

[Goldd93]

Making an Effective team. I've been having a lot of troubles making my team as of late and would appreciate seeing other tips and tricks regarding team building.

[brbcutting]

ty max alot

[blasian505]

Miles923

hey max ive been trying out the doom corner combo u always do but i cant fit in the air dash down to whiff the air medium any tips?

[gehaga]

@blasian505 you have to cancel the second footdive with the air dash so doom doesn't get pushed backwards, also the whiffed air medium isn't necessary for the combo to work unless you're going to end it with a jump up plasma beam, finger laser. try using heavy, light molecularshield, sphere flame. for now until you got the thing down pat.

[anthem456]

What is the best button configuration on to have you fightstick set on? For this method to work it seems you have to move the heavy attack to the top row.

[Lzibbah]

@anthem456 personal preference. i like mine like max's. l, m, h on top. s, p1 and p2 on bottom.

[chubabay]

Can you please do a Quick Tip episode on Tri-Dashing?

[makemeafightermax]

MAX DO A ARCADE STICK GIVEAWAY FOR YOUR SUBS THUMBS UP SO MAX CAN SEE THIS!!!

[Longshot3181]

its time for me to go do the Doom Jungle Shuffle on some bitches

[fapstarhero]

tips on air grabs and resets please! : ) luv the vids!

[TequilaOneShot]

Thanks alot Max, im terrible at this game since i never started with vanilla but im really getting into UMvC3. Its alot of fun to find synergy in teams in this game. Subscribed!

[DaRonRashad]

I was either going to say triangle and square jumping, or basics for flight combos

[TheDeathNinjas]

Can You Explain How To Backwards Wave Dash With The Remote?

[notgayguy222]

@TheDeathNinjas with a normal console remote, press R2 (ps3) and down straight afterwards, keep alternating and you're wave dashing :D

careful with this though, you might end up doing a hyper combo if you move the analog stick to the left or right

[kilo7208]

Explain floats n hit boxes

[BlueExorcist19]

I think your next quick tip should be comboing with support character's cause the timing with them are very very difficult

[chusestoa10]

AWSOME! I thought pros backwavedashed by pressing backdash then down etc, can you explian the timing on wesker's gunshot loop PLEASE! and also could you gives tips with examples on how to make utrue unblockables? thanks (sorry for my english I'm form Costa Rica)

[MARSLOCUST]

thanks Max for the great tips much appreciated pal.Love the humor 

[flutterknoata69]

I think almost everyone knows what I just found out

-Chun-Li's taunt takes 10,000 points damage

-Felicia's taunt dodges ground attacks

Just throwing it out there

[KidNamedEmCee]

I think you need to put in a tip on how to properly like extend a combo with an assist. Or even how to properly use assists in different scenarios.

[MadSliceMeister]

Cool this has already helped my Trish and my other characters' ground movement.

P.S. on pad it doesn't matter which buttons you're using for it e.g. L>M+H or M>L+H or H>L+M

Just set them to a shoulder button and it's super easy.

P.P.S. Max can you have an Assist Me episode with a random sexy Morrigan in the background showering or something? KTHX

[nightshade06]

@MadSliceMeister does trigger buttons suffice too?

[MadSliceMeister]

@nightshade06 Yep. I just call any of those buttons as "shoulder buttons" :3 I have M+H set to R2 since I use Tasky

[Kingdj103]

can you give us tips and/or tricks on how to defeat dormammu?

[thumper3662]

how do you do those crazy airdashes that mags or doom or sometimes even dorm does? also, tips on how to air throw/tech. I know it sounds weird because throwing is just f.H or b.H, but throws such a big part of the game and to a new player, they're counterintuitive because H is the attack that comes out the slowest.

[Mad77max77]

Awesome Tips !!!

Thanks !

I used to do Dash , down, Dash, down... now I'll be a lot quicker !

[Njefnalefke]

Tips on understanding frame data?

[MrAndoProductions]

Could you get Fanatiq in to help Pad players out, I would like to see how he does stick techniques on pad.

[jtgoshaff]

@MrAndoProductions would love to see something to help out all the pad players out there

[0WhiteCharisma0]

i still don't know how to use this 10 second record function in training mode lol i search it and yet I can't find anything on it!!

[helhelhelhelo]

Wavedashing in fighting games like this was invented in tatsunoko vs capcom(wii game)

[H2OPopatron]

@helhelhelhelo its goes back as far as SSBM on gamecube

[Zer0CakeZ]

Hey that's my Arcade Stick! Dx lol

[Rzayas516]

Hey max I'm a big fan one thing i would probably like seeing is how you end up doing your combos and how do you essentially train yourself to pull of those combos successfully.What do u do to train to get better in fighting games.

[future6767]

Dante bold cancelling or magneto rom combos

[VLeninftw]

lol wesker backwards wave dashing spins like a top

[Obilist]

Advanced blocking! Chicken blocking tips, etc. would be GDLK! :D

[TheDevil21]

Holy crap, this is really useful.

Thanks Max!

[thorodinson89]

What about the Triangle dash that all people with flight do like Doom, magneto,Etc... how are those executed?

[netolcc06]

I'd like to know how to move fastly in the air with chars like Magneto and Doom!

[mnmsart]

@thorodinson89 I think it's either double tapping any of the 8 directions, or pressing that direction once and two attack buttons, then pressing the next direction and two attack buttons, I haven't tried it yet, though I'm kind of a noob.

[MadSliceMeister]

@thorodinson89 Tri-dashing is done by super jumping then quickly inputting either down-back or down-forward using 2 attack buttons. If you're talking about how they move so fast in flight then yeah it's just done by plink dashing (this vid) but since you're flying you can go all 8 directions.

[Zolo1129]

@thorodinson89 super jump then quickly air dash down/forward

[Junky284]

@thorodinson89 after you super jump,,,, initiate flight and then do uf+dash and df+dash,, consecutively and repeat it

[BABYPOWDERpower]

@thorodinson89 you short hop forward then do a down forward dash, he explains it in the doom assists me

[gehaga]

@thorodinson89 jump, then hit light+medium+down_forward or down_backwards. it takes time to master it.

a triangle jump is super jumping then do the input, its different because you get more height and have time to perform an air attack before you hit the ground.

[gehaga]

@gehaga also only characters with an air dash can triangle jump, the ability to fly has nothing to do with it.

[AnguzBeef]

@thorodinson89 Dash in a triangle direction.

[vButtxrCup]

@thorodinson89 jump wave dash down

[cheesemaster69]

Teach us how to dash with doom or how to dk some easy bnbs with some hand demonstrations and timing

[BlAkGeAr]

@cheesemaster69 He already taught us some Doom stuff back in the first Assist Me video. That stuff may be from vanilla, but it's still handy.

[AzureBarrage]

is there anything wesker CANT do?

[Twewyable]

@AzureBarrage Be nerfed.

[Xionkusanagy]

@AzureBarrage become a GOD XD

[dlonewolf69]

An 'Assist Me' Chris Redfield would be nice. I'm having trouble on which assist type to use and I would like to see a bread and butter of his combos.

[askanitvc]

how to play without lag... definetely the most useful tip... and to know if certain myths are false... they say that x360 version has no lag and ps3 alot of lag??? and finally some link to configure the network to be secure and things like that

[jtgoshaff]

@askanitvc i play 360 and have definitely seen some lag just make sure your opponent has full bars before you play to not lag much if i see anything less then full i back out

[XCorruptedDefectionX]

I really like to see this method or "plinking" used on a pad. I'm not sure if you could but it would be very useful.

[SiyamakSordes]

@XCorruptedDefectionX In button config, make one of your triggers or bumpers on your pad a light+medium attack button. Now just hit heavy attack and very shortly after that bumper or trigger you set and I'd imagine it would work just fine.

[XCorruptedDefectionX]

@SiyamakSordes Ah, you're right. I just tried it out and it's a little difficult but very plausible. Thank you very much for this advice.

[TEEN1DOL]

I wish someone would release one huge lists of teams with great synergy. It will save me the time of using characters I like, but that don't work together at all...

[Doom2Guy]

I had no idea you could cancel a heavy attack for this. Thanks!

[ShotVasco]

Tips on extending combos with proper assists setup.

Tips for getting in on campers or spammers with rush down characters.

Tips for proper X-factor use.

Also an Assist Me: Featuring Haggar would be very appreciated :)

[R4HU1]

Max, what do you think about SOPA and Capcom's support?

[Xanthur34]

I would love to see a vid on how to do your new midscreen Doom combo that uses both foot dives and the diagonal jump dash.

[dropslash]

I'd love to see a video on basic escape tactics. A lot of times when I watch these videos it just seems like both players are jockeying for the first hit of a combo and then the first player to stick it can follow through for an insane number of hits/damage while the other player just flops around helplessly. Some combos look like they're just unstoppable freight trains and I always wonder "Is there really no way to escape that?" Is the only way out of eating 90+ hits really to not eat the 1st?

[biohazard724]

Assist usage.

[lxlGiftedlxl]

Resets and extended combos

[frozenslushee]

Doom pelvic thrusts to move back and forth quickly.

[HerrKastner]

I wouldn't mind finding out more about unblockables, that I think is pretty useful material.

[flurryous2]

Wow... most of your videos, I find interesting. They don't particularly teach me anything new, but they always open my eyes to other strategies.

This one, however, blew my mind. I didn't even know that was possible. I thought people just practiced pressing ffdffd or bbdbbd motions with a stick and were really good at it. I never even considered plinking on the floor.

[Blakobness]

So you said this is specifically for arcade stick? Does this mean you can't utilize this on a pad, or that it just might be more difficult? Or that the method would need to be changed somewhat?

[aCrazyDrummer]

@Blakobness Switch between Heavy and the button that hits LMH all at once (back right trigger is default). So do his method but instead of H then LM, do H then RT on 360 or R2 on PS3. It's a little weird but it works and with practice could be easy.

[vernardothunk]

y people call supers if the name is hyper combos or just hyper?

[AeolusMN]

@vernardothunk Because in SF it's called supers and generally people have adopted the term now in other fighting games. Mostly players of the SF franchise use it. Hypers, supers doesn't matter really.

[RenaTurnip]

Max, how about something involving what you should do and weighing your options when you catch an assist? If you can somehow fit it into a short three minutes, then something to do with choosing when you should just just use the Hyper and when you could try more damage/related :O
