Challenge 01: Triplicate Magnetic Shockwave
Challenge 01: Triplicate Magnetic Shockwave
Can you make a combo containing three Magnetic Shockwaves? The less crap you put in the middle, the better. Doesn't matter what game you use, as long as Magneto is in it. And it's not Mugen. And you don't cheat.
Messing around in MSH, i put together this version using Final Burn Alpha. Still dunno what i'm doing with that emulator so i didn't use anything fancy, except assigning 3P to one key and starting from a save state to save time.
If you post a working (aka verified) transcript, you get one point. If you post a video, you get two points. The most you can get is two points.
Maybe i'll post more challenges in the future. Once you earn 100 points, you can buy 1 Mega Point. It has no cash value but it represents a LOT of wasted time. Plus it's always capitalized so as to be distinguished from lesser points at all times.

These little contests are pretty cool, are you going to make them up or can other people make them up also?

I tried something like this on shoryuken.com a while back, but didn't get much interest.

Oh well, I still think the combos there were pretty spiffy. I'm looking forward to messing around with your challenges in the future.
Oh, and you should totally award points to the people who have contributed clips to the projects going on in the other forum.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.
When you understand why you reject all the other possible gods, you'll understand why I reject yours.

Sweet, thanks for taking the time to make that.Toxy wrote:Ok heres the version with four shockwaves.

I'm glad you're into the idea of having these small contests. I've got nothing else planned but anyone can host one if they want. Just make a thread like this one, with the same "Challenge:" title format. If you want, you can even use the same "1 point for text, 2 points for video" line in your post, and i'll keep track of the scores.
Worst thing that can happen is that nobody responds. When we tried this sort of thing on VidOp, the results were discouraging. You gotta make it accessible and you gotta keep your expectations low.
yeah the magneto challenge on video opera was hard and I remember no one ended up doing it by hand.....Well with proof. I think trag ended up programming it and showing it to people.
The 3 shockwaves was an idea I thought about a long time ago cause I found out that magneto can do launch vs spiral --> shockwave, dash in shockwave --> dash in shockwave --> dash in shockwave. I was going to make it a challenge but I never got around to it. Jadon did like 4 shockwaves in a combo before

That sucks. It looks like an awesome thread too. If you hadn't posted the solutions already, i'd bump it for you. Yun is kind of a weird character in that the players who use him have to know a lot about him, but the players who don't use him don't know anything about him.Goryus wrote:I tried something like this on shoryuken.com a while back, but didn't get much interest. :(
As far as rewarding points for external ongoing projects ... well, i'm afraid that would create too much uneven ground. I mean, if someone contributes 50 clips to some combo video group project, we'd have to reward them at least like 50 points. There need to be limits and (somewhat) equal opportunities so that the (fake) race stays close, exciting, interesting.
Plus, if you make clips for a video project, your reward is that your name ends up in a video that eventually gets released and watched by a lot of people. On the other hand, when you provide a solution to a challenge, you're putting the same amount of effort into making a video clip that only a handful of people will ever see.
I did give it some consideration, and i don't think giving points for contributing to collaborations will work out well.
However, i think there are some random things outside of challenges that will be worth points. For example, i'll probably give a point to each of the winners of that poll about how many times Yang will get hit by basketballs/roses in the next kysg video. The good thing about the points being worth nothing is that anyone can say "Maj, this man deserves a point" whenever anyone does something cool.
I'm only the scorekeeper. Don't want to be the judge. Actually that's probably the best explanation for my reluctance to reward points on contributions to real projects.
Haha, wow, i'm hella overthinking this.
Jadon did something like this a long time ago
http://www.denjin-video.com/magnetro/shockwave.wmv
He uses cyke and assists to not set fs, then he uses sabretooth assist uh, and then just otg's cyke (cyke is weird on the ground)

You should be more specific with the rules: 5 is pretty easy - pick 3x Magneto, corner launch into Triple Super, OTG into Triple Super. Presto, the least possible hits in the middle.
Also in COTA with infinite life you can do as many shockwaves as you want with EM Pulses in-between. Or vs. Juggernaut.

To get the easy ones out of the way and pull ahead for most possible:

Those are tight! Wow, i'm hella impressed. Each of you will get two points, and the elite Marvel capture squad will get half a point each (unless they object but Magnetro is the only person i know who would turn down free (fractions of) points).
Those are dope though. We've got almost enough stuff to make a Shockwave combo video, haha.

Very nice. I really liked the combo Magnetro made. It's a pretty intricately crafted combo and he managed to get those Shockwaves in there by rather unconventional means.
I do have a question, though, regarding that combo and the 6 Shockwaves Combo... is there any way to have Magneto wedge himself in between the corner and the opponent before doing the Shockwaves? I only ask 'cause it would definitely look cooler if the Shockwave got to carry them across the screen again. If not, then nevermind. ^_^

Uh yeah, you can just do the combo anywhere else on screen.jchensor wrote:Very nice. I really liked the combo Magnetro made. It's a pretty intricately crafted combo and he managed to get those Shockwaves in there by rather unconventional means.

The 6 shockwave one was just like my other one with only 1 Magneto
I coulda done the simple shockwave fsd on cable in the corner then otg into another one, but I couldn't get a 3rd. I guess I'll have to keep getting fractions of points until I get the 2pts. I think Jadon did the best one out of all of the entries so far lol. It was a lot more creative IMO.

cool, glad you liked it. And yes it's very possible to get that 3rd shockwave somewhere else on the screen. I"m going to go do it right now.jchensor wrote:Hmmm, I seem to have gotten my authors confused here. I was actually referring to Vega Omega's combo, not yours Magnetro. :-p Sorry. That's the one I do like a lot. ^_^
Is there anyway to get that combo so the last Shockwave goes out of the corner?

Aw, don't tell me you gave up. I was looking forward to it too.
I'm also wondering how quickly Magneto would recover if Shockwave got interrupted by Rolento's knives (or whatever you crazy Marvel kids use as a substitute). Maybe it would be cool to wavedash past the Shockwave and get on the other side of the opponent, by having them jump or teleport. If it connects that way, maybe it will push the opponent and Magneto backwards and he can combo with random buttons while it's happening.

that's not interesting.
