2) RK, cancel RK Air Grab
= Strategy =
If it's in the corner, you may have to do the SK version.
==Basic Tips==
Launchers: c.MP


Magic Series:
* Ground Magic Series: None
* Jump Magic Series: None
* Super Jump Magic Series: Weakest to Strongest


Intermediate Combos:
AC Finisher: HP, HK, Spinning Lariat (PPP), SPD (360 + P)


1) j. D FP, RK, cancel RBG/FAB/DFAB
==Advanced==
The end grab will basically grab them just as they land from the RK!  Hard to
===Super Jump Cancels===
time though but the damage is awesome!  The canceling is a bit tricky here as
<youtube>a4PyVMVmxiw</youtube>
you can't do it right away I think.


2) j. D FP, cancel SPD
==Team Setups==
This works on almost everybody (except like MegaMan) but especially on the
bigger guys.  This won't always work as a)they can jump out of it or b)you
just simply miss them.  Still a good tatci to try sometimes.


3) j./sj. D SP, FAB
= Combos =
This works well especially on those anti-air guys because the elbow drop (D
{| border="1em" cellpadding="3" cellMPacing="0"
SP) really messes up their anti-air timing and you hit them.  Then as you
| align="center"|'''Combo'''
both get up, do a FAB or SPD or whatever and you will usually get them as
| align="center"|'''Damage'''
long as they don't jump away as you have priority.
| align="center"|'''Notes'''
 
|-
 
|s.HP > Banisher (dp + P)
Hard Combos:
|
 
|
1) j. D FP, c. SP, sj. JP, sj. FK, cancel Spinning Lariat, RK, cancel
|-
RBG/FAB/D FAB
|s.HK > HK Air Grab (dp + HK)
A more complicated version of I. Combo #1.  The Spinning Lariat will knock
|
them into position for the RK.
|

|
|
|-
|}


2) Air Grab, j. D FP, c. SK, cancel, SK Air Grab, j. D FP
{{Navbox-MVC1}}
This is mainly a confusion strategy that works surprisingly well or at least
on the people I've tried it on.  The second Air Grab always confuses their
blocking because you cross them up with the j. D FP and then you can launch
them or whatever.  This probably only works as well as it does because not
many people have seen it so use it sparingly
