MvC3 Zero Tutorial

A Tutorial for Zero in MvC3. The tutorial goes over basic moves and combos with Zero and then goes into detail about some setups and application of certain moves and combos to be later used in Zero's advanced combos. A great guide for beginners and an intermediate player may learn a thing or two. An advanced player should already know most of the stuff in the video. Enjoy!

For the beginners who don't quite understand some of the notation.
Use the Keyboard Notation to help you out (imagine the controller axis)

Yes These tiger knee motions are very hard to do, its very hard i think...Let me ask you something, when you are doing an air combo & you do 2 medium attacks & a Heavy attack then release the buster, i see you do a Raikousen. Is that Raikousen TK'ed(Tiger Kneed)? Because when i try it normally (i.e. not using the Tiger Knee motion) i just get the fake move in the air, but when i try the TK motion i stil get nothing, can you tel me what am I doin wrong?

@kellerprime It's not TK'd, TK is for air moves as low as possible. In the combo, it's a DP motion. I think you are 1) inputting forward too early after the buster and it's not registering a DP but a QCF, or 2) inputting forward to neutral or down-back and then doing the rest of the motion which will read as a QCF input. If it's 1) slow down the input. If it's 2) Roll the stick less and go to down instead of down back or back. If u post the input you do in training mode I could tell you easier.

Great Tutorial. I have a question, what control configuration do you use? Thanks

[LoneNazo]

@asmi7h (Xbox/PS3) On Arcade Stick: Type B on a MadCatz TE Round 1 and I disable the (LB/L1,LT/L2)

On Pad: I change the top buttons on Type A: (A/X) = Special, (X/Square) = Light, (Y/Triangle) = Medium, (B/Circle) = Heavy, (LB/L1) = Light, (RB/R1) = Medium + Heavy, (LT/L2) = Assist 1, (RT/R2) = Assist 2.

Awesome tutorial. Helped me alot as I just started playing the game. The buster combos I can't do on pad or seem really difficult to do. I may look into getting a stick. Do these combos work on every character? I was starting to get them down when I started dropping them consistently on characters like Akuma,Spencer, Wolverine, and a few others. Which soon spread to me dropping them whenever I tried. Is it more difficult on specific characters or is it just my execution is still poor?

[LoneNazo]

@ProjectAuroura They work on everybody. There is a slight timing difference in combos between bigger characters, where you do it slightly earlier as opposed to smaller ones where a delay is needed. Zero is very free-form, so just do combos you are comfortable with and carry them to the corner if possible. I normally practice on Ammy, Ryu, & Sentinel. You get a wide range of dummies to try stuff out on. Nobody will get all combos 100% of the time or they would do Raikousen loop all the time :-)

Again zero doles out dat ass whoopin

@RickMcSwift They're not hard o,o? xD

Just try to associate the name with Zero's way to pronounce it. For example, Hyenkyaku would end up like "Hienkiak". All the rest are pretty much pronounced just like it reads.

Or maybe that's because I'm a spanish speaker and Romaji comes totally natural to us...

[apalmalarrain]

@LoneNazo So all you did on the pad was map a second Light next to the M+H, right? Or maybe my sister's boyfriend did the same as you except for the second Light... He's not a Zero user :P

[apalmalarrain]

On the second basic combo I see the first Heavy is done crouching. Was that intentional or a typo?

[RickMcSwift]

I love the names of zero's moves they all sound amazing and hard to pronounce xD
