rooflemonger are you going to do a short video on how to do it with Dormammu? Thanks for showing the rhythm for Ultron, watched a tutorial where it was advised just to mash your soul out but on stick it's very annoying, now I'm getting all hit out of my flight consistently
For the love of God can someone explain to me the timing of how to execute this. After inputting standing heavy kick with Morrigan you are suppose to cancel into flight. After you cancel into flight you are suppose to input Light Punch then Heavy Punch then follow up with the staircase inputs. My problem is once i cancel into flight and then press Light Punch, the punch misses, then I cant follow up with Heavy into staircase input. So what is the timing of the inputs because you don't explain the timing in this video. Then there are other times when I press Heavy Kick into Cancel Flight Mode and when I press Light punch afterwards, the light punch doesn't register and the punch doesn't come out at all. So I am guessing its a timing issue on my end. Can ya help me?
I just tried this. If your LP misses, you're not cancelling into flight fast enough. After some practice you should basically do the HK into flight cancel pretty speedy. Do I've actually learnt, the faster you can cancel out from a move to flight, the more room you have to land the hit before they spin out. Just a personal observation on my part really. Practice it a bit more and try and get it down. Personally I found it easier to work with the HK hitting only ONCE before flight cancelling - just to get me used to the timing, then i moved onto letting the HK hit twice before cancelling. Good Luck!!!
I was contemplating taking this game back because I wasn't ble to do anything advanced in this game and never thought I'd be able to play it at a higher level, and even though you said the staircase isn't advanced when I eventually got it down after hours of practice it was very rewarding. So you're the reason I'm keeping it and your marvel videos are phenomenal
1:28 just in case anyone is coming back to this video almost 4 years later, Thor can do it with power stone. The issue he normally has is that his flight takes so long to activate that no matter what attacks you use before and after, they’ll fall out of the combo. If you use power stone though, you can do an air combo into power stone, fly as they bounce off the wall, and then you have enough time to airdash in, do a light normal, and then rep heavy punch into airdash over and over.
This video really helped thanks a bunch! I noticed that timing it to right at the top of your opponent's/victim's ascent had me executing this combo more (with Ultron) and I'm mashing like a proper noob. I also forgot about that subtle light punch just after activating the flight move. Anyone else still struggling with it watch the inputs! GGS.
Hey just wanted to say I love your work. I have been watching your fighterz vids for years and have learned a lot. I just picked up Mvci cause it’s in game pass and was so happy to find this vid!
The word staccato make sense to me now after you said it and demonstrated. Staccato means detached in Italian which to an Italian (musician) mind translates to broken or irregular rhythm. In terms of musical notes on a page. (Atacatto)............ (Staccato) .. .. .. .. .. I'm not a musician or Italian sorry just shared my Eureka moment.
In the sense of rhythm, as he's trying to describe it, means short and punchy. detached from the next beat in the rhythm/combo. like pop-pop-pop. instead of poppoppop
Great video man I appreciate the time you put into it. I've been wondering how to do this for a while now haha sadly I use Ryu and Chun Li so I won't be using it much, but it'll still be fun to try with the characters that can do it. Thanks and keep up the good work!
The timing/rhythm is just about the same. The only tricky part for morrigan is to get the fly off to begin with since her timing on the jab to connect is a bit different than the others.
This is soooooooo helpful thank you.... can you make a tutorial video on instant overhead on jump dash cancel ( idk if im saying it right) but ive seen fchamp and lots of ultron , dorm and nova do it ... it seems like when i try to do a cross up air dash its so fast the moves wont come out. Plz i need help with movement
There is a minimum amount of height you need to be in the air before your air dash comes out so keep that in mind! If you mash your dash right as you jump you will just attack, you need to be that certain amount of height off the ground!
Ohhhh ok ok cause it seems like as soon as dorm and ultron jumps its done lol ... specially if when they do the super jump into the over head cross up dash
I literally did the same thing when I started looking into playing morrigan when I realized she's Hella different than umvc3. But tbh the staircase concept is cool but it def deters people with looking like you need to be that dexterous with your string inputs
Only thing I did different than default settings was I put dash(lp+hp) on r1, which would be RB if you are on xbox. I find being able to do that with your index finger makes it very easy.
any tips on when to do the Fly with nova man seems to be the hardest part is get that Attack then Fly then attack when i go for the Fly the char falls?
My understanding of the nova staircase with HK is you simply now have to be that fast(dash hk dash hk dash hk), which is why I have seen almost nobody doing it.
Thank you for the video! Just wanted to ask about Cap Marvel. I'm having trouble with continuing the combo after I use flight. The other character seems to fall before I can hit them with other attack. What attack should I be using after activating flight?
her aerial light punch is her fastest attack so that's what you want to use to link it all together. Everyones timings for the flight into connecting combo are slightly different from each other so sadly one size don't fit all.
Did not know what a staircase combo was, managed to discover one on day one with Morrigan though, but I press dash fierce dash fierce and not take advantage of the cancel thingy. Wonder if it is better.
r1/RB I find is the best button to have your dash set to on pad. It is what I set the button to when I did it on the combo. Less distance for your hand to travel.
so how do you cancel your flight animation into a air light punch? i cant seem to figure that out and i end up missing because the animation for flight is too long. edit: seeing it in slow mo, im seeing youre cancelling it into up dash. when i do it, it doesnt work as effectively. any tips?
If you somehow haven’t figured it out in the past year, you don’t actually cancel the flight into light punch. You just push light punch as soon as the “entering flight” animation ends.
I can connect the first two HP attacks in the air but after I cancel into fly they automatically recover and I can’t connect with the LP, am I not canceling it fast enough?
If they are falling out after the fly and you are doing the LP, yes you must do it faster. I notice there is many times where you are doing the timing you "feel" is right, but you gotta do it faster than you are comfortable with.
Its simply timing honestly. Old rule of thumb is: If you hit it and it didn't come out - you were too fast if you hit it and it missed - you were too slow just slowly work and find the middle ground of it. Trust me when I say when you finally get the timing down pat it will stay got!
The Dormu shade is real! - Just kidding :D *EDIT - Dormu (Slightly easier version): LAUNCH, lp, hp xx FLY xx lp, hp xx Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp, fhk, hk(Spike)* (does 4280 damage if done from a raw launch) The key here is to make sure on the first HP after the airdash is hitting them from the bottom while in the air. You'll then start to rise up to meet them as you get the other hp's out. There are variations of this i've seen on streams but that's the gist of it. You can replace some parts out for others, like, adding the 'dash xx hp' before the fly. The window is tighter but you're more likely to hit them successfully when going up and not whiff. For the longest time I was trying this with the literal inputs of uf+dash, hp. Thanks for making this process a *lot* easier for me using the dash button priority feature.
Hey - just updated my first comment with some tips - TL;RD: LAUNCH, lp, hp xx FLY xx lp, hp xx Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp, fhk, hk(Spike)* (does 4280 damage if done from a raw launch)
I have LP+HP on a single button. As stated on the video, it allows you to just mash it to get the Dash xx HP cancel just by tapping the same button in rapid succession. I'm still working out what combo will allow me to do the stairway properly. They seem to air-recover if you do it after the usual combo to launcher.
Just to add on to this, there are actually two different staircase combos that Dormammu can do. One is the hp one, and another one that appears to only use fhk. Richard Nguyen can be seen doing the second variation in this video at 3:40: ua-cam.com/video/lpW-VH701Xs/v-deo.html Not sure of the exact inputs, but from the look of it, I assume it's something like LAUNCH, fhk, lp, xx FLY xx fhk, xx Dash xx fhk, xx UF+Dash xx fhk, xx D+Dash xx fhk, xx UF+Dash+ xx fhk, DF +Dash fhk, UF+Dash fhk, hk Still haven't been able to test because of the damn DLC patch(9 GB!) but this looks like the optimal way to do it.
Its a speed thing, heres the old rule of thumb Move came out, didnt hit - you did it too slow Hit button, but move didn't come out - you did it too fast
Thank you so so much for that little tiny bit of advice right here Roof. I literally just did my first staircase ever because of it. Like 10 times in a row! Been trying since day of release.
derppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp that's what happens when I leave a video half made and walk away for a few hours I guess, I plumb forgot
The chun li combo vid I just put up, took me a pretty long time to get :( At least in this game once you get a combo it stays "got". I can burn an hour botching a combo over and over, get it right once, and then I immediately can do it over and over again.
For the love of God can someone explain to me the timing of how to execute this. After inputting standing heavy kick with Morrigan you are suppose to cancel into flight. After you cancel into flight you are suppose to input Light Punch then Heavy Punch then follow up with the staircase inputs.

Then there are other times when I press Heavy Kick into Cancel Flight Mode and when I press Light punch afterwards, the light punch doesn't register and the punch doesn't come out at all. So I am guessing its a timing issue on my end. Can someone help me?
If the light punch misses, you are simply entering it too slow. Here's the old rule of thumb: - Button missed? Too slow - Button didn't come out, too fast. You gotta find the medium between the two. I find many people generally don't appreciate that they keep entering an input too slow and they have to enter it faster then they are normally comfortable with. I swear to you though once you "get it" it will stay got.
I kind of figure that but every time I think the timing and the feel for it right it proves me wrong when it misses. I only pulled it off 3 times and now I keep dropping it and its frustrating but ill go at it again. Thanks for the tutorials, they are very helpful.
Its just a timing issue, practice it you can get it! Here's the rule of thumb If it didn't come out = you did it too fast If it came out but it missed = you did it too slow Use that metric to find the happy middle!
i played magneto in mvc3 so you would think that this would be easy but its extremely tight window to hit the HP air dash sequence after fly that i usually get 2 sometimes 3 before they flip out and see new players on youtube making vids on just mashing and using the priority system to get them to come out lol not taking shit or too you rooflemonger but its jut a little bit frustrating and i needed to vent
Do what works, that's the only thing that matters. I certainly am not mashing there is a very specific rhythm I am following to get the combos. If you have trouble doing it the "right" way who cares just go over to what works.
I don't understand him very well at the moment sadly. Next stuff up tomorrow will be some ultron stuff I think if I can get the time. Honestly for X my biggest wait is just for someone else to figure him out then I can steal all their tech :)
You don't need rhythm, it's literally just a one button mash if you use the button set to both punches. It's kind of funny how optimal these combos are for how easy they are to do.
Not really, I've been doing them pretty consistently that way. The only time I ever drop them is the light punch after the fly but after that it's smooth mashing to good damage.
Guadalajara Bella IIRC, alot of TAC infinites followed a similar structure of landing a TAC and then following up with a Staircase Combo like in this video, then landing briefly to then jump and start another repetition of the Staircase combo until the opponents character died. So this particular structure of combo was used alot in MvC3 with characters that had Flight/Airdash, and calling it a TAC is just kinda like a nickname or shorthand.
I ALWAYS HATED how most of the characters with wings CAN'T DO staircase combos when they have been flying their WHOLE LIVES. I would LOVE the things like with Firebrand, but he has stupid command air dashes that don't even go into play most of the time.
Sadly logic never really comes into play in fighting games, but that's why people like Hulk don't just break people like chun li in half like twigs :-0
that jab timing after flight is a bit different for everyone, but easy rule of thumb is simply if you keep missing it, you are doing it too slow. Flights end earlier than you think you just gotta go for that jab faster.
I am a gat dang dummy and forgot dormammu, he can do it too! Apologies!
*Hold* the tag button. It costs 2 bars of meter to do so.
rooflemonger are you going to do a short video on how to do it with Dormammu? Thanks for showing the rhythm for Ultron, watched a tutorial where it was advised just to mash your soul out but on stick it's very annoying, now I'm getting all hit out of my flight consistently
Not sure why this wasn't taught in the game... I wasn't sure myself initially

I've watched a dozen staircase combo tutorial videos. For some reason, this one made it click for me. Thank you!
Maybe its cause my videos have magic powers, please don't discount that possibility!
rooflemonger Aha! I knew there was something mystical about this video! Please don't turn me into a frog. 🙏🏻
I was contemplating taking this game back because I wasn't ble to do anything advanced in this game and never thought I'd be able to play it at a higher level, and even though you said the staircase isn't advanced when I eventually got it down after hours of practice it was very rewarding.

Very happy and glad to be of help! Fighting games can be tough but once you start getting stuff no other genre of game can be as rewarding!

Thank you so much, I have watched multiple videos from you today on things I didn't know how to do. Really appreciate what you do. Keep it up!
Thanks, its my goal to help people out because fighting games are hard to decipher beasts sometimes. Plenty more coming in the following days/weeks
This video really helped thanks a bunch! I noticed that timing it to right at the top of your opponent's/victim's ascent had me executing this combo more (with Ultron) and I'm mashing like a proper noob.

Happy to be of help!
Great tutorial as always. Thank you!
Also 10/10 thumbnail lol.
thanks for the tutorial. I went to other videos but yours made the most sense to me.
Glad to be of help!
Hey just wanted to say I love your work. I have been watching your fighterz vids for years and have learned a lot. I just picked up Mvci cause it’s in game pass and was so happy to find this vid!
You're so great man, seriously amazing. Keep it up
The one video that made it clear to me thank you.
Glad to be of help!
The word staccato make sense to me now after you said it and demonstrated. Staccato means detached in Italian which to an Italian (musician) mind translates to broken or irregular rhythm.
In terms of musical notes on a page.
(Atacatto)............ (Staccato) .. .. .. .. ..
I'm not a musician or Italian sorry just shared my Eureka moment.
I had no idea what Staccato meant so thanks for that.
In the sense of rhythm, as he's trying to describe it, means short and punchy. detached from the next beat in the rhythm/combo. like pop-pop-pop. instead of poppoppop
I can finally do it beacuse of you. Thank you so much!
Happy to be of help!
Thank you dood! I may got it a little bit but not advance-ly there yet 😆
Thank you so much for this guide! I didn't know how the pros did those combos! I play zero and spiderman
Happy to be of help!
Great video man I appreciate the time you put into it. I've been wondering how to do this for a while now haha sadly I use Ryu and Chun Li so I won't be using it much, but it'll still be fun to try with the characters that can do it. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!
Thank you for this video. I really need to be able to do this with Ultron.
Once ya get it, it will stay got. Took me about 30 mins to break it into my skull once I figured the trick and after that it was gravy.
rooflemonger cool
Thank you I have been trying to figure it out with Morrigan.
I can do ultrons but Morrigan has a weird dash lol
The timing/rhythm is just about the same. The only tricky part for morrigan is to get the fly off to begin with since her timing on the jab to connect is a bit different than the others.
Wow! when you break it down, it makes easy to understand. Thanks for this man! And subbed 4 sho! ✌😎✌
Happy to be of help!
You explained it so well....delicious. too bad i don't like using ultron. trying to use other characters that most people aren't picking up
Thank you, man, learned after whatcing this video.
This is soooooooo helpful thank you.... can you make a tutorial video on instant overhead on jump dash cancel ( idk if im saying it right) but ive seen fchamp and lots of ultron , dorm and nova do it ... it seems like when i try to do a cross up air dash its so fast the moves wont come out.

Happy to be of help!
Trying to learn the staircase on pad. What are your buttons like?
Only thing I did different than default settings was I put dash(lp+hp) on r1, which would be RB if you are on xbox. I find being able to do that with your index finger makes it very easy.
any tips on when to do the Fly with nova man seems to be the hardest part is get that Attack then Fly then attack when i go for the Fly the char falls?
This is true love we're making
Indeed it is friend, indeed it is.
For some reason I'm having trouble getting the light punch after activating flight to work (using Ultron). Not sure why...
That's a great vídeo. But nova can do staircase with HK, what are the inputs for that? Do I press them all or do I press It seperately?
My understanding of the nova staircase with HK is you simply now have to be that fast(dash hk dash hk dash hk), which is why I have seen almost nobody doing it.
Thanks for a great video. Which would you say is the easiest character to use for a ladder?
Ultron kinda the go-to as far as I am concerned.
Thank you for the video! Just wanted to ask about Cap Marvel. I'm having trouble with continuing the combo after I use flight. The other character seems to fall before I can hit them with other attack. What attack should I be using after activating flight?
her aerial light punch is her fastest attack so that's what you want to use to link it all together. Everyones timings for the flight into connecting combo are slightly different from each other so sadly one size don't fit all.
Nova has the best looking loop combos I’m a MK player to but I’m learning MVCI as I use to play MVC3
Did not know what a staircase combo was, managed to discover one on day one with Morrigan though, but I press dash fierce dash fierce and not take advantage of the cancel thingy. Wonder if it is better.
If you are fast enough to consistently dash fierce then do what works, as long as you get the damage is what matters.
I love Ms Marvel yesssssss
Thanks soooooo much for this. I play on a controller and this is a tad difficult to pull off.
r1/RB I find is the best button to have your dash set to on pad. It is what I set the button to when I did it on the combo. Less distance for your hand to travel.
I’m having a tough time landing the LP after the fly. I just whiff. I’m new to stick. I just need to do it faster? Any tips?
so how do you cancel your flight animation into a air light punch? i cant seem to figure that out and i end up missing because the animation for flight is too long. edit: seeing it in slow mo, im seeing youre cancelling it into up dash. when i do it, it doesnt work as effectively. any tips?

I've been having trouble connecting Light Punch after the Fly. Any constructive suggestions?
you have more time then you think other than that just gotta learn the timing
Its simply timing honestly. Old rule of thumb is:
If you hit it and it didn't come out - you were too fast
if you hit it and it missed - you were too slow
just slowly work and find the middle ground of it. Trust me when I say when you finally get the timing down pat it will stay got!
Same problem here light punch does not connect.
Zenogias79 after practicing over an hour I was able to find the rhythm to the combo. I still land it inconsistently, but can confirm it's possible L=
THANK YOU
Quick tip guys if you are on controller use left trigger and aim up forward to make the staircase alot easier
Are you pressing both the LP + HP buttons when doing this, or did you map one button to be Dash? I'm using stick as well.
I am pressing both buttons at the same time.
Thank you.
The Dormu shade is real! - Just kidding :D
*EDIT - Dormu (Slightly easier version):
LAUNCH, lp, hp xx FLY xx lp, hp xx Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp, fhk, hk(Spike)* (does 4280 damage if done from a raw launch)
The key here is to make sure on the first HP after the airdash is hitting them from the bottom while in the air. You'll then start to rise up to meet them as you get the other hp's out.
There are variations of this i've seen on streams but that's the gist of it. You can replace some parts out for others, like, adding the 'dash xx hp' before the fly. The window is tighter but you're more likely to hit them successfully when going up and not whiff.
For the longest time I was trying this with the literal inputs of uf+dash, hp. Thanks for making this process a *lot* easier for me using the dash button priority feature.
Still can't do this for the life of me, but thanks for the tip, regardless.
Hey - just updated my first comment with some tips - TL;RD:
LAUNCH, lp, hp xx FLY xx lp, hp xx Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp xx UF+Dash xx hp, fhk, hk(Spike)* (does 4280 damage if done from a raw launch)
Thanks! I'll have to try this when I have some time. Are you using the default button mapping?
I have LP+HP on a single button. As stated on the video, it allows you to just mash it to get the Dash xx HP cancel just by tapping the same button in rapid succession.
I'm still working out what combo will allow me to do the stairway properly. They seem to air-recover if you do it after the usual combo to launcher.

Not sure of the exact inputs, but from the look of it, I assume it's something like

Still haven't been able to test because of the damn DLC patch(9 GB!) but this looks like the optimal way to do it.
Having trouble hitting the LP after flight for Ultron, any tips on the timing?
Its a speed thing, heres the old rule of thumb
Move came out, didnt hit - you did it too slow
Hit button, but move didn't come out - you did it too fast
Thank you so so much for that little tiny bit of advice right here Roof. I literally just did my first staircase ever because of it. Like 10 times in a row! Been trying since day of release.
Very happy to be of help!
How do you have your button setup on arcade stick? I recently bought one but I feel like my buttons aren't in the right configuration.
TheAmazingKlutch L M Tag
And on the bottom Lk Hk Stone
Keaton Waugh Thank you!
bro what about dormamu
derppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
that's what happens when I leave a video half made and walk away for a few hours I guess, I plumb forgot
i really having problem with getting the fly command out after the hits
its just a special cancel like anything else. Keep at it and you will get it!
I find plinking the two punches makes it way easier.
whatever works best for you! As long as you get it done the methods to do it aren't important.
Can Dante do this combo in devil trigger?
dante can only dash forwards while in the air, he can basically get 1 rep with his double jump but that's about it. Same problem as with jedah.
I love the game, and also a NRS player. Damed if i can do a decent combo though. Soooo many buttons. Great channel bro.
The chun li combo vid I just put up, took me a pretty long time to get :( At least in this game once you get a combo it stays "got". I can burn an hour botching a combo over and over, get it right once, and then I immediately can do it over and over again.
Man I just can't get it, I don't know what I'm doing wrong and it's frustrating.
For the love of God can someone explain to me the timing of how to execute this. After inputting standing heavy kick with Morrigan you are suppose to cancel into flight. After you cancel into flight you are suppose to input Light Punch then Heavy Punch then follow up with the staircase inputs. My problem is once i cancel into flight and then press Light Punch, the punch misses, then I cant follow up with Heavy into staircase input. So what is the timing of the inputs because he doesn't explain the timing in this video. Then there are other times when I press Heavy Kick into Cancel Flight Mode and when I press Light punch afterwards, the light punch doesn't register and the punch doesn't come out at all. So I am guessing its a timing issue on my end. Can someone help me?
If the light punch misses, you are simply entering it too slow.
Here's the old rule of thumb:
- Button missed? Too slow
- Button didn't come out, too fast.
You gotta find the medium between the two. I find many people generally don't appreciate that they keep entering an input too slow and they have to enter it faster then they are normally comfortable with. I swear to you though once you "get it" it will stay got.
I kind of figure that but every time I think the timing and the feel for it right it proves me wrong when it misses. I only pulled it off 3 times and now I keep dropping it and its frustrating but ill go at it again. Thanks for the tutorials, they are very helpful.
Don't forget that the heavy kick has to land two hits
I cannot get the LP to come out on time after flying on morrigan. Makes me sad 😭
Its just a timing issue, practice it you can get it!
Here's the rule of thumb
If it didn't come out = you did it too fast
If it came out but it missed = you did it too slow
Use that metric to find the happy middle!
rooflemonger I've done it once or twice by mistake but the timing seems so strict. But thanks....I won't actually give up forever
My execution is utterly awful, and I can manage that combo now 99/100. Trust me when I say once you "get it" it will stay got.
rooflemonger so I kept trying last night and was able to do it like 80% of my tries. You were right. You're my new hero
i played magneto in mvc3 so you would think that this would be easy but its extremely tight window to hit the HP air dash sequence after fly that i usually get 2 sometimes 3 before they flip out and see new players on youtube making vids on just mashing and using the priority system to get them to come out lol not taking shit or too you rooflemonger but its jut a little bit frustrating and i needed to vent
Do what works, that's the only thing that matters. I certainly am not mashing there is a very specific rhythm I am following to get the combos. If you have trouble doing it the "right" way who cares just go over to what works.
Got anything in the pipeline for X? I don't want to believe he's garbage, but I'm starting to fear it might be true.
I don't understand him very well at the moment sadly. Next stuff up tomorrow will be some ultron stuff I think if I can get the time. Honestly for X my biggest wait is just for someone else to figure him out then I can steal all their tech :)
X isn’t garbage, he’s actually around upper mid tier, although I haven’t played as him much so I shouldn’t really judge.
You don't need rhythm, it's literally just a one button mash if you use the button set to both punches. It's kind of funny how optimal these combos are for how easy they are to do.
You just mash and you absolutely will drop something at a certain point.
Not really, I've been doing them pretty consistently that way. The only time I ever drop them is the light punch after the fly but after that it's smooth mashing to good damage.
Ain't callin you a liar but that just don't check out at all. When I mash I got like a 50% failure rate.
New patch changed Ultrons dashing movement and speed, this no longer works past 7 hits, 8 if you're lucky.
New patch ain't out yet? Nothing has changed.
Are you sure? Ultron's air dash looks and feels differently, and I went from perfect execution of staircase jumping to it barely connecting at all.
dat face when you do the combo
on keyboard

What is "tac"?
TAC is a "team aerial combo" and abuse of a glitch of it led to a lot of infinites in MVC3.
rooflemonger thanks, but in the video you say "launch your foe,tac.." what do you mean by that?
Guadalajara Bella IIRC, alot of TAC infinites followed a similar structure of landing a TAC and then following up with a Staircase Combo like in this video, then landing briefly to then jump and start another repetition of the Staircase combo until the opponents character died.
So this particular structure of combo was used alot in MvC3 with characters that had Flight/Airdash, and calling it a TAC is just kinda like a nickname or shorthand.
I ALWAYS HATED how most of the characters with wings CAN'T DO staircase combos when they have been flying their WHOLE LIVES. I would LOVE the things like with Firebrand, but he has stupid command air dashes that don't even go into play most of the time.
Sadly logic never really comes into play in fighting games, but that's why people like Hulk don't just break people like chun li in half like twigs :-0
They need to slap some logic on my man Firebrand then. Haha.
awesome vid, thanx a lot! speak more clearly n slower next time, though.
😔 to bad I came for iron man !
i just cant do it with nova, his lp whifs all the fucking time after flight
that jab timing after flight is a bit different for everyone, but easy rule of thumb is simply if you keep missing it, you are doing it too slow. Flights end earlier than you think you just gotta go for that jab faster.
You forgot dormammu :(
I did! I was working on video then left my place for a few hours and when I got back in I was like "is that it? must be!" and put it up :(
Too hard for me
Nothing too hard to do. You just can't give up!
